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 ❅

//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!!!

[Give him a minute he'll put the knife away, he's still gripping it like his fingers are glued to it. And looking around warily. But Apollo's caution doesn't go unnoticed-- it's the right way to be.

But he will sheathe that knife; underneath his jacket looks like he had a holster for it hidden away.]


I... don't know. I'd guess that spider was real, though. 'Cause it seems the dangerous things so far in this park have been really hurting people here and there... [As for everything else... virtual reality? A "glitch"?]
sugarcoats: (092)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-24 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, sure, messages are easy! You don't need a pen though, just your fingers! Here, watch!

[Balancing the CereVice on his palm, he taps the screen off, then taps it back on to bring up the home menu. Going slowly to make sure Gaius can see what he's doing, he taps a little envelope on his screen so that it brings up a text box and keyboard.]

So think of this as your piece of paper, only it's all electronic! This will remember what you type and everything.

[Pressing each key carefully, he types up Hi! I'm Yogi! :) in the entry box.]

And then you can send your message to whoever you want! Think of it as writing a letter, but instantly. Um, you can also just talk and have it write down what you're saying too, if it's easier. Am I going too fast?
twomeals: ([oh] 05)

[personal profile] twomeals 2015-03-24 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
To me? Well, um, giving presents to people is nice. So it doesn't seem like something you'd dislike.

[That's pretty much all his knowledge of this holiday.]
punchesyu: (HOLY CRAP)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
BANDER WHAT????

[What is that snapping noise what's going on he's going to die isn't he]

Stop screaming in my ear- AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

[Something just snaked around his head and it's going to slither down her back]
unevoke: (no.)

[personal profile] unevoke 2015-03-24 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah shit, he'd said that too loud. Shinjiro doesn't untense - both because of the stranger with his persona look-alike and because whatever's out there might still be out there to get them - but his face does go carefully blank at the question.]

Nothin'. Looked like somethin' from back home.

[Don't ask him anything else about it, don't ask about it—]
aerialassault: (confident -- whatev)

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-03-24 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[The slamming of his fist into the wall was also just a need to release some pent up frustration-- no biggie. In a bar he would have flipped a table. It was nothing too out of the ordinary.

But, the kid's questions sure were entertaining.]


Maybe not on Earth, but they sure are on other planets. The bigger ones are older and really cranky, too.

[He smirked. Oh, if only Dragons were his only problem....]

So, the big guy is Susano-o? What all does he do for ya, 'sides act all intimidating?
impheired: to reproduce. the world doesn't need my sarcastic asshole demon spawn in child form. (sigh ♚ i should not be allowed)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-24 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Um...scuse. Does he really look like the frou-frou type to you? He's fine with just his his manly and badass spit-wash!]

It's fine, don't worry about it. [He attempts to sort of wave Oz's handkerchief away.] And that was the plan... I only got on this one because I thought maybe they'd let me leave if I fucking rode at least one of the rides. Somehow I get the feeling that's not going to be the case though...

[Because he totally needed another reason to hate theme parks.]

...you must have some damn quick reflexes though. [Because he's not seeing even a little cut on you?? What the hell???]
fortheprincess: (you got me beggin' beggin')

[personal profile] fortheprincess 2015-03-24 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...He sees that. Kind of weird how she just knows these things right off the bat, but it makes sense. ]

Y-Yeah, but the Princess is my main priority. I need to make sure she's alright.

Re: Phase II

[personal profile] trafalgar 2015-03-24 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Those things are responsible for attacking us?

[Aside from singing annoying songs, the Tanuki-ya's don't seem very menacing or capable.

But yeah this place hasn't been big on making sense -- stop making it worse!!]
unevoke: (what a shitty pick up line)

[personal profile] unevoke 2015-03-24 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Shinjiro sighs again, and this time it's loud and clear and not restrained at all. He's barely gotten used to the idea of two different dimensions, or timelines, or whatever they might be called.

This is gonna take awhile to unravel.]


Yeah. Where I come from, we've got a guy instead. [A pause here, as he tries to figure out how much is safe to say.] But it sounds like things are mostly the same otherwise.
punchesyu: (Do you mean...?)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[He blinks a few times.]

But I thought I just heard you call it a Persona. If so, I mean...that's what it is.

[He's kinda bewildered that um people might know about this what????]
masakados: (stop kidding yourself)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-24 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Right.

CERES has been calling the things that happen "glitches", [Naoki's wearing a flat face when he says it,] but aside from that, we don't know for sure what's been causing them.

I think all of the effects are too specific to be chalked up to "glitches", but. It could be CERES, it could be someone else we haven't heard of and CERES is just trying to downplay it, but we don't know the cause for sure yet.

Phase iii

[personal profile] ineptus 2015-03-24 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Mabel has had experience with that particular ride. That particularly horrible, awful ride. So when someone nearby it talks to her, she's more than happy to stop because they probably need help!

Of course, when she realizes he needs help for his pet pig, the girl drops the questionable looking hot dog she had in her hand.]


Oh no, poor thing! Of course, wait right here!

[There is another pig present who is being told to stay put while she runs off to get some water, being as quick as possible! When she gets back and hands it to him, there's a frown of concern on her face.]

Is he okay? He didn't get hurt did he...?

[Never mind the man himself apparently. Pig priorities.]
trafalgar: (pic#8290867)

[personal profile] trafalgar 2015-03-24 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[He's not touching it. It might start singing to him.]

What are you basing that on?
faithfulflame: (Rei Hurting)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-24 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[She shivers and smacks the communicator, trying to jolt it back to functionality but the artifact is having none of it. Rei spins in place, fingers held up in a warding gesture towards where she feels the hissing sound is coming. A faint blue light emanates from the paper in her hands as well, the magical scroll stiffening.]

Show yourself, Spirit!

[But Yosuke might note an obvious quaver in her voice. She's afraid now, truly afraid. That breathing sound is rising in pitch, growing faster and faster, hotter and hotter...]

I command you!
swordboning: (pic#8713748)

[personal profile] swordboning 2015-03-24 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Take my word for it when I say that there's a lack of defense attorneys here.
remainingtwin: (In the darkest shadow)

[personal profile] remainingtwin 2015-03-24 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
But--! [It certainly feels real enough and she shudders and recoils as the breathing gets louder.]

Why?! I just got here! I haven't done anything! [WHAT DID SHE DO TO DESERVE THIS besides a few things bUT STILL]
bewrightback: (some more thought)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-24 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
I think I'd agree with you on that. [A soft nod.] If what we've been told is true, "here" is an amusement park on another world.

It looks like this will be a little harder to get out of than our usual jams.
punchesyu: (where is that stupid bear)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Other planets. He's not going to forget that.]

He's well...I'll show you if that thing comes out and tries attacking us again. It's kinda hard to explain. He can get us out of reach of them too if it gets too overwhelming. [Because fuck yeah flying]

Dude, sorry but, what's your name? I don't remember. [And after that? QUESTIONS]
bewrightback: (kind of a dork)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-24 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Maybe I can actually get reasonable pay here without competition! And I'm sure there's plenty of people here who will need defending...
faithfulflame: (Rei Kimono Pensive)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-24 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
I can explain it.

[She turns back to Phoenix, her face flat, kind of expressionless. She's used to giving these kinds of speeches, and having older people not believe her, but maybe he's different?]

But I doubt you'll believe me, honestly.
andimfine: (✓ 37)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-24 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure I really understand this place.. [ The edges of his mouth curl into a tight from as his arms cross together. Even if he did fully believe the presentation, why would he be put into danger? Isn't the sole purpose of him being here to help his home? Maybe? He's lost. ]

You're not from around here either, right?
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 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[The bad is filled with people that handle scary situations well, isn't?!]

AHHHHH!

[His scream gets her throw her hood over her head and scramble towards his back. Protect her!]

WHAT HAPPENED!?
verified: (i could hold you for a million years)

[personal profile] verified 2015-03-24 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ fuuka takes a moment to process that, though with everything that's happened once she arrived, it's still pretty confusing and not to mention overwhelming. they just saved the world back home... she thought things would be back to normal again. ]

It doesn't seem like they're willing to answer our questions either. I guess trying to find more information ourselves isn't that easy...

[ it doesn't mean they shouldn't try though. ]

With time, maybe we'll find something.
bewrightback: (sweating bullets)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-24 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
After what I saw in that funhouse?

Try me.
