The Gifts that Keeps on Giving ((You)) Nightmares


It's been a whole month without any new arrivals. Who knows why? If you ask CERES, they won't bother with any in-depth explanations. They will simply claim that none of the code out there has been responding to their recovery methods, so they had to rework a lot of their technology. However, after several weeks of grueling work, they have finally experienced success! A fresh new batch of faces is coming in, and to celebrate their arrival and the real upcoming holidays, CEO Julius Vincere has arranged for a Christmas-themed carnival for all to enjoy.

Those who arrive will wake up in Cerealia and be given a long, boring explanation and powerpoint as per usual before being ushered onto a bus (there is no escape. The robots will force you onto the bus one way or another). You will be unwillingly carted to the theme park where you will be immediately assaulted by a giant array of lights followed by several rides that you can enjoy. After you disembark from the bus, one of the snowman robots will be waiting to give you tickets to the rides and show you around as part of the Grand Opening. The amusement park will remain open for the rest of the month of December so anyone can visit as they please. The first couple tickets will also be on the house for new arrivals, but the rest will have to be bought with credits, so choose wisely! (Or try and sneak into the rides -- then face the wrath of the snowman robots and their snowman firearms :D)
"☃ WELCOME NEW ARRIVALS ❅

PLEASE DON'T RUN ❅
COME BAAAAACK, VISITOR ❅"

//SCENARIOS.EXE
PHASE I
[ xx:xx ] Do you like ferris wheels? This is an enchanting one where you get to ride around in a giant snowflake at a very limited speed. The wheel will turn excruciatingly slow before stopping abruptly, leaving you trapped at the very top. We hope you're not afraid of heights because you're going to be in there for a while! The windows on the snowflake will rapidly darken leaving you and your fellow riders trapped in the darkness. At that moment, you will feel something warm breathing down your neck and along the back of your ear. As you reach over, you'll feel like the chair underneath you is made of snakeskin, and a hissing sound will intensify as the "chair" squirms and as the breathing gets louder and hotter. Scrabble at the doors, fight your way out! Will you escape or not? Probably not, but the experience will last only a good five minutes before the lights come back on and before the ferris wheel starts moving again. The chair will appear as normal, and there will be no one else inside except any fellow riders who came with you.
PHASE II
[ xx:xx ] If the ferris wheel didn't "do it" for you, then perhaps a fun house will? If you're a fan, that is! This Christmas-themed funhouse features a wonderful walk through a snowy forest convered in singing reindeer. The more you walk through, the more you will notice things like within the distorted mirrors, there will briefly appear strange specters. You will also hear a bunch of howling in the background, and while you may think that you're safe since they're trapped behind a mirror, you are very wrong. The lights will go out once more, and you will hear the mirrors shatter all around and feel yourself being grabbed and hurled to the ground. Whatever is coming for you is something you can't see, but it's advancing fast with impressive strength to hurl you back once more. You will feel pain erupt through your body before an engineer will appear to get the lights back on. Once they're back on, the reindeer will be happily singing, and all the mirrors will appear as they were before -unbroken.
PHASE III
[ xx:xx ] After those interesting adventures, another option would be to simply visit the rocking santacoaster, a large, sprawling roller coaster that reaches 150 mph. You will be strapped into a sled and be shot through the tracks where you can scream and cry all you want except once you reach the tunnel, everything will come to a sudden stop (whiplash pending). You and the other riders will be in there for a few minutes, surrounded by a dozen santas as they start to fly out from the tunnel walls, carrying swords and swooping down to take a swipe at you. You better duck or be prepared to be cut up by their blades. The rollercoaster will abruptly resume, and when you reach the end, you might notice some bleeding, a little bit of hair missing, or some clothes shred up. If you ask the snowman robots about it, they will just shrug and claim they don't know what you're talking about. Please go enjoy a snowcone on the house!
PHASE IV
[ xx:xx ] The Christmas whirl will be your last stop for the evening! This is a ride that goes round and round and round while tilting. Everyone will be strapped into it while standing up and forced to hold on as it spins, and somewhere in the midst of the spinning, the ride will suddenly malfunction. Yes, big surprise there! But it won't stop spinning. It will just be a rockier ride, and you will seemingly enter a new space where you will be among the stars and seeing planets all around you. Your own home planet will be amongst them before it breaks open like an egg and out crawls a friendly visitor. If you get bit by it, you will spend the rest of the day and night experiencing an array of possible symptoms, including: a voracious appetite, a fear of light, the urge to 'mate' with anyone who smells especially good, heightened senses, the ability to climb on all kinds of surfaces, irritability and crankiness... (( you don't have to experience them all. you can pick and choose which one you like. ))
BONUS
[ why:o'clock ] What's that jingling you hear in the background? Why, it's Santa Clause! Coming here all the way from the North Pole. The park will stop, and all the snowman robots will gather in the square, ushering along as many people as possible. Santa-Bot X-3 will be seated on his chair to welcome all visitors to sit on his metaphorical lap and tell him what they want for Christmas. He will then give them a nicely wrapped present and tell them that it's exactly what they asked for, but they can't open it until they get home. For those who can't wait and choose to open it quickly, they will get some nice treats from Mundus Caelestis. But beware! Those who do take this gift home will experience a weird after-effect as the lovely red and white toy will come to life on its own and hop out of the box that evening to try and violently electrocute the owner. The other one is completely harmless.

Welcome to CEREALIA's latest intro post For your convenience, we have compiled a post detailing what's going on right here and feel free to consult the FAQ if needed. Please leave any lingering questions in the OOC post, and we'll answer them as soon as we can. OVERFLOW IS HERE!!!


littlestbaskerville: NO MASTER GLEN I LOVE YOU DON'T LET JACK IN YOUR BED (✿ maybe everyone's unusually shy.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-24 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
No! I don't like this anymore! Make it stop!

[Then she hears the hiss, she might be just jumping onto Yosuke and clinging to him like a koala bear.]
bewrightback: (oh boy i done goofed)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-24 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure to cut down the hopes of someone so young... I mean, you are pretty good, but it's nice not to let it go to your head?

My name's Phoenix Wright, by the way. [He presents his attorney's badge.]
candycoating: (047)

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-24 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
You'll become my new favorite person if you show me where to get them. What do you say?

[ Want to be his favorite person ever?? at least until someone else shows him some new sweets ]
unevoke: (pic#8055239)

[personal profile] unevoke 2015-03-24 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Everything about this place is weird, it's true. Shinji sighs, rubs at the back of his head at the question. He doesn't feel equipped to answer it probably, seeing as how he's still somewhat confused about the whole thing himself, but he's got no other choice.]

Supposedly. We can't exactly go back and check, but they wouldn't've brought us here otherwise, right? [Blargh, nothing makes sense.] Mitsuru would know better. You should probably ask her once you see her.
gareki: tsunkuuyandere (007)

[personal profile] gareki 2015-03-24 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ah... So those strange clothes weren't for show. So how does he explain this in a more understandable way to the technologically impaired? ]

Those things are robots. You can cut them down if you'd like, but it won't matter. They're not living beings. And by programmed... it's like being given a series of orders. A normal person can be given orders to follow. Putting loyalty aside, if there's a weapon pointing at their throats, that person would feel inclined to go against what they've originally been told to do. Robots are different. They only know to follow the orders that have been programmed into them. They can't feel or do anything else.

[ But there are some robots that almost seem like they're living beings, but it's mostly due to advanced programming. Gareki highly doubts the robots that are with them are advanced enough. He didn't bother saying it.

... It might complicate things. But he hopes what he said is understandable. He tried his best. ]


That's why I'm saying it's pointless. These guys were probably limited to just welcoming and escorting us... [ He peers out of the window and watches the robots forcing a "loving" embrace on someone. ] And hugs apparently... [ Useless. ]
sugarcoats: (029)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-24 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
[He wishes he had even the slightest idea what she is talking about. All he knows is that she is far too cheerfully talking about awful things.]

Even so... getting hurt that badly...

[He had never seen a child with a tattooed face, but things might be different here. At this point, he is rather sure that he won't like the answer, but he has to ask anyway. Was it related at all the her tattoo?]

What, um, what is Bandersnatch?
bewrightback: (Default)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-24 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods, with an inward sigh of relief that Blackquill managed to not resort to violence.]

You're right. I doubt we'll be able to get more out of this one like with Ponco.

That means we have a whole park to investigate.
aerialassault: (neutral -- cutting to the chase)

No, Thank You.

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-03-24 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Out of all of the possible questions Cliff had heard that day, this one has got to be the strangest one yet.]

A Den Den....what?

[His confusion was plain in his eyes-- clearly this was an entirely new term for him.]
candycoating: (003)

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-24 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
I don't actually see a lot of kids around. Maybe they only bring in grown ups when recruiting to save the world. Which would... pretty much be a sound call on their part.

[ Of course, Gaius could just be missing them. But for a festival, he is noticing a distinct lack of children. Absolutely no shortage of teenagers, though. Crivens, it's making him feel old just looking around... ]
faithfulflame: (Priestess Smiling)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-24 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Every two weeks, you say?

[That's...not terribly unlike the Phages and Youma at least.]

Anything overtly violent? Or just temporary afflictions?

[And she's going to ignore the comment, no need to waste words unnecessarily.]
scaryintuition: (sad smile)

[personal profile] scaryintuition 2015-03-24 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Hide watched as Kaneki moved away from him, feeling a mixture of sadness and relief. He had thought that perhaps he had been the only one to make it to Cerealia so far. That he would be on his own until CERES was able to use their code to bring his friends back. Seeing Kaneki here and whole was almost enough for him to shake off his earlier fear and panic. But it also came with the reminder that there was so much left unsaid between them.

Like the fact that despite Kaneki's best attempts to keep it from him, Hide knew that he was a half-ghoul. The surprise on his face had little to do with what his friend was and everything to do with how unexpected it had been to see his friend that way. He wasn't afraid, of course not, because it was Kaneki.

He pushed himself up slowly, becoming very aware of the soreness of his muscles, particularly in places where he'd landed. If they were going to have this conversation now he wanted to be on equal footing with his friend and not curled up on the ground. But he also didn't want to spook Kaneki. So, after pulling himself to his feet, he restrained himself from closing the distance between them. Hopefully Kaneki wouldn't read too much into that.]


I know, man. You don't have to explain anything because...I already know.

[His smile is bright and genuine, with a touch of sadness. He knew that Kaneki hadn't wanted him to know. And he definitely hadn't wanted Hide to find out like this. Honestly, this hadn't been how Hide had imagined this conversation going either. He'd always hoped that Kaneki would come forward on his own. Not...like this.]
masakados: (black birds)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-24 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[He's not going to lie about it: they're right within exhibit A. Naoki keeps glancing back, high tension, skin nearly tingling with energy ready to burst. One of his hands is clenched at his side while the other holds fire in front of them to light the way.]

It's not dangerous all the time, but sometimes things happen in the city or... well, what's been going on in this amusement park.

After the environmental stuff, sometimes things've happened that affect us physically or mentally. People acting strange, people temporarily losing their senses; their sight, or hearing, things that go on in that virtual reality ViViD...
candycoating: (008)

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-24 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Wh-- hey, aren't you going to show me how to use it, then?!

[ RUDE. But he's got to contact this guy sooner or later, right...? Maybe figuring out that strange device is for the better. ]
bewrightback: (and a cell phone)

Arrival

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-24 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I'm no grandma... [He rubs at his neck sheepishly.]

I'm just trying to expect the unexpected.
littlestbaskerville: LOVE LOVE LOVE makes the world go rouuund (✿ now i've found it‚ maybe this is home!)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-24 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Really!?

[She might look a little too excited about that. Regardless she grabs his hand and starts to tug him towards the stand.]

This way!
twomeals: ([bad] 08)

[personal profile] twomeals 2015-03-24 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
phase i

[This is Yue's first time on a ferris wheel, and it'd be an exciting event for him...if it weren't so obscenely slow. So slow, in fact, that he actually dozes off.

Seriously, the cabin's gone dark and there's something breathing down his (your?) neck and he's out like a light.]


phase iv

[Coming off the spinny ride, Yue is both incredibly dizzy and incredibly hungry. Also weirdly sensitive. Guess who got a spider bite! But yes, you'll find him swaying standing around wherever they're selling snacks, slightly overwhelmed by all the tasty smells.]

There's too much.....

bonus

[Guess who opened his present? That's right, it's this kid! The red and white thing gets a curious look, a wave, a lick, and a look of disappointment. The other thing....hm. He has no idea what this is.]

How is this "adult", though?
andimfine: (✓ 3)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-24 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ He points towards the ride behind him, frowning as he recollects what had just happened. ]

Yeah, that ride right there..don't go on it. [ Also, there's the whole being in this strange, new place. ]
bewrightback: (Default)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-24 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
That's weird. It was a few days before Christmas for me, so this really doesn't seem out of place... [He taps at his chin in thought.]

Well, I'm still in one piece. The funhouse was decidedly not fun, but otherwise things haven't been so bad here. I've managed to find a few familiar faces around.
faithfulflame: (Rei Oh God!)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-24 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Rei chuffed a disgusted laugh, thinking of the air as soup. It happened in some places, she knew, but never around her.]

Extremely, and it seems to be growing darker.

[She shivers and leans back further, looking up at the ceiling of the car for a few seconds...and then she jumps up suddenly, rising and glaring all around the car.]

Ah! Did you do something?!
verified: (when the evening shadows)

[personal profile] verified 2015-03-24 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Mitsuru-senpai is here too?

[ it's a relief to know they're both okay, but there's a part of her that wonders if this is really the better alternative. if what they all told her was true, that would be the case, but there are too many unanswered questions and not enough information. ]

So is it just the three of us now? I'm glad we're all together at least.
punchesyu: (straight talkin' to yo ass)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[With a surprised look, he glances at his persona, and then back to Cliff. He faintly remembers Cliff slamming his hand into the wall not too long ago at that theater, and he guesses he can believe that maybe someone like him wouldn't need a persona to protect himself.

And if that doesn't weird Cliff out, it makes Yosuke feel a hell of a lot better about it.]


His name's Susano-o. Um... [He stutters as they walk forward-] are you seriously saying that dragons are real? Like the fire-breathing ones?
sjokolade: (Squeeee)

[personal profile] sjokolade 2015-03-24 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Which was the reason why Anna was being so cheerful. If our world is destroyed, then we need something to bring back some optimism back in people! And maybe this festival would do the trick!]

Yeah but are you excited for it? This is my first time going to one here or even celebrating one for that matter! I never been to one before so it's sure to be fun!

[Oh how she'll regret that later]
impheired: put a parental lock on my cable box last night? more importantly, what's the pin? (angry ♚ which one of you drunk assholes)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-24 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[He unfortunately missed it because immediately after getting his face cut, he'd ducked his head down, screwed his eye shut, and utterly failed at not having traumatic flashbacks. Getting attacked by sword-wielding robot mobs is every bit as terrible the second time it happens to you as it is the first, apparently.]

[But he would have been so impressed if he had seen it, you don't even know. Maybe some other time...]


Yeah, real great way to convince us to cooperate with their bullshit. [He's not really feeling like going along with the whole "help us save the multiverse" thing after this mess, to be honest.] Dunno about you, but trying to take my goddamn head off? Quickest way to earn my trust.

[The sarcasm is all but dripping from his words.
sjokolade: (OMGOMGOMG)

[personal profile] sjokolade 2015-03-24 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[It's not everyday you get to run into a giant fluffy robot! Even if everything here was all technological! Despite his words, she was still staring at Baymax like he was the coolest thing she ever saw!

Screw the injuries on her arms right now, she was just circling around him a little.]


But how does that even work? It's really cool that he can just scan me and figure out what's wrong! [Not to mention it was a little creepy but that's another point!]
littlestbaskerville: bandersnatch, i choose you! (☠ just take my hand [+bandersnatch.])

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-24 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[If only Yogi knew...This was nothing for Lily, considering she has killed on the orders of Master Glen.]

I don't like it, it still hurts.

[She pouts until he asks the best question. Whenever she could show off Bandersnatch she was excited and happy to do so.

With a grin she summons the large, black dog-like creature.]


This is Bandersnatch!
