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 ❅

WHAT? YOU DON'T WANT ONE ❅
BUT I WAS PROGRAMMED TO CONVEY HUGGING AS LOVE THROUGH AFFECTION ❅
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.

I'd say that there was a poltergeist of some sort. A malicious spirit.
swordboning: (mfw everything)

[personal profile] swordboning 2015-03-24 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
No, consider it a reward for learning yourself. No charge.

[It's Archer's way of....helping.]
ineptus: (14 ❤; Ɓυт ǀ'ƖƖ fιηɗ α ρƖαcє тσ ѕтαу)

Adventure time!

[personal profile] ineptus 2015-03-24 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Peko! [The minute she'd spotted the familiar girl, Mabel had squirmed her way through the crowd to go meet up with her, Waddles on her heels. She's ecstatic to see her friend, clearly, and reaches out to latch onto her shinai when she catches up just in case she didn't hear her, or didn't plan on stopping.]

You're really fast, I almost lost you!

[Mabel is a little worse for wear, the roller coaster having been her first and last ride of the day, but despite that her usual bright and friendly smile is firmly in place.]
verified: (i could make you happy)

[personal profile] verified 2015-03-24 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
I see.

[ sorry, senpai. at least she seems to be taking this pretty well... despite all the confusion. she's mostly wondering what a male version of minako looks like, how their personalities differ. did they make the same choices? were they able to defeat nyx as well? ]

Um, I'm sorry this might sound a little strange, but... what was the last thing you remember from home?

Just be warned that your pal has a student that is a stubborn idiot.
andimfine: (✓ 4)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-24 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
I still find that hard to believe. There has to be some trick to all of this, right? [ There's really a lot he can't explain, but…another world? ]
Edited 2015-03-24 01:11 (UTC)
punchesyu: (ANOTHER GIRL?)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay, she's some sort of priest, he is totally okay with that right about now because he is about to die and anything ANYTHING is welcome to save their hides.]

[All he can do is shake in terror because there honestly isn't a thing he can do but pray. And whine. In fear.]

D-D-D-Duuuuuude-!
particularity: (m ✣ and as sight through smell)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
You wouldn't be the only one. There's a lot of discrepancies. [Hinata sighs, kneading his fingers between his eyebrows.] But no, I'm not from here. I did spend a year before being brought here in another place like this one...

Except, we were there as test subjects rather than being there to just live while they supposedly restored our worlds.
impheired: i'm like a human expresso (sulk ♚ i am so small and bitter)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-24 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Maybe his face is stuck like this DON'T JUDGE?? He suffers from a very serious medical condition: he was born with a stick in his ass. The doctors were unable to remove it and there is no other cure. And so he is cursed to live a life where having fun might actually kill him.]

I'll be fine when I can finally fucking leave this hellhole. [Such language to use in front of such a proper young lady. Goodness.] I've never liked these kinds of places, even less so when they try to fucking kill me.
gareki: tsunkuuyandere (076)

[personal profile] gareki 2015-03-24 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... ]

[ ................ ]

[ ..................... ]

[ Complete and total silence. Yogi is really marvelous at dodging at the actual words, but it doesn't really take a genius to put two and two together. "Adult things" and "bedroom". Gareki isn't naive.

He stops himself from taking another step toward the square. Yeah, he was definitely getting worked up over something he should have completely ignored. This time, Yogi really managed to save him from something really awful. ]


... Alright, you've managed to stop me.

[ He doesn't want the box anymore. ]
bewrightback: (might be onto something)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-24 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
I've met with people associated with him in the past who are some combination of stubborn and not very bright. I don't think this will be very different.
defeets: (» extreme stripping)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
No? Well that's strange. I'm certain that when I saw you, you were the very vision of sweetness and grace!

[and then her weird dog thing tried to bite him

eh

you win some, you lose some]
defeets: (» i've seen bigger)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
I think you're asking too much from me, Hak.

[Though the trip is now over and the magic is gone and he's landing easily on his feet before setting Hak on his own.]

After all, that was just to make sure we could get on the ground to find dear Yona faster.
bewrightback: (grim hawk face)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-24 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
A malicious spirit... That sounds bad.

Did you you try any methods of... I don't know, exorcism or something?
emotive: (If love is the answer hold on)

[personal profile] emotive 2015-03-24 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Ai's cheeks flush when her hand is kissed again, but not as wildly as before. Is this the immunity building stage??]

... I hope I can find it.

[Maybe her existence would be more complete then. And since he kissed her hand, she realizes they've been holding it this whole time and nervously asks:]

Do... Do we need to keep holding hands?

[Is this a necessary thing now, she wonders??]
faithfulflame: (Priestess Neutral)

Laaaate, sorry Oz. But let's go with B.

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-24 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Hearing that somewhat antiquated speech draws Rei's attention to the blonde girl seated across the car from her. Looking up from her window seat, she huffs a soft laugh. History...well...that's her favorite subject.]

You could say that. Though, rides like this used to be something the elite did, not the average person.
masakados: (to feel)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-24 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. If there aren't any opportunities now, we should watch for one. And take it when it shows up. [He... wants information. He always does. However, he knows what can happen when you search for it without caution or you just let someone else tug you by a string.

Naoki's steps slow; he can see a narrow line of light ahead.]


I think that's our way out. [He looks back again. There's still howling, but maybe his fog did the trick in confusing it.]
bewrightback: (call me call me)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-24 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Trucy's the expert on magic tricks, and I don't think she's come up with anything yet.

I admit that I'm not ready to fully believe this either. But I think it's best to play along until we can find some true answers.
punchesyu: (whaddya mean she won't go out with me)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
There isn't much room in here you know-! [He feels himself getting shoved forward a little as she scrambles behind him.]

I don't know! I felt something on me and then it was gone!

[Hisssssss]

What's....that....
sugarcoats: (094)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-24 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Of all the things he was expecting, this was an unpleasant surprise. The last time he had met a cute little girl with a strange pet, he had fought to protect a town from monsters until he passed out and woke up with his body aching and missing some of his memory again. Not this time, please.

Right now he'll be jumping backwards through the air, further than anyone should normally be able to, and holding his arms down and out to his sides, as if he's holding something in each hand. Yogi tries not to think the worst.]


Lily! That-- that's Bandersnatch? You're... controlling it? What-- what is it?
fortheprincess: (i can do anything you like)

[personal profile] fortheprincess 2015-03-24 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Not sure what being a 'robot' is supposed to mean, but I don't have time to waste.

[ A little blunt, yes. But it's better than beating around the bush; for right now, anyway. ]
bewrightback: (thinking about a puzzle)

Arrival

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-24 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yes... yes, that much is true. You... got me there?

[Can't fault someone for a simple and to-the-point argument...]
spyrites: (» alvin no)

[personal profile] spyrites 2015-03-24 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Something strange usually happens. [And by usually he means always. It always happens...

Oh, wait... She must be new if she's saying stuff like that. In that case he should be extra vigilant in ushering her out of here and explaining things to her.]


All right, this way. I'm sure we'll be able to find our way out. [They're just mirrors, after all. They're meant to disorient but not make anyone lost.

Except as they head toward the presumed exit there is very clearly something in the mirror following them. And suddenly howling at them too. What the--]
defeets: (» you have my attention)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, in complete honesty-]

I'd rather not get separated from you, sweet Ai Thao. It'll make it that much easier to make sure you're safe if you'll entrust yourself to me.

[He says, as the lights flicker once again and then he's looking up at them, bemused and expression a bit more serious.]

We should find the exit as soon as we can, regardless.
particularity: (m ✣ on the shelf)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
[But it doesn't need to be!! And ah here's Teruteru company he... expected no less, honestly.]

I will. [A smile.] I'll go less plain this time.
