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!!!


bewrightback: (sheepish)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-24 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Right... at least if the sentiment is common enough, we can just leave it unsaid.
gareki: tsunkuuyandere (078)

bonus

[personal profile] gareki 2015-03-24 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ He only happened to be passing by, but when you spot a clueless guy holding an adult toy in public, you can't help to stop and look. That's exactly what Gareki did, except what he witnesses is a lot more than he could comprehend.

Did he.... just lick that thing in public?? ]


Uh... [ Geeze. ] If you don't even know what it is, then you're probably not old enough to use it.

[ Just put it back in the box, Yue. Put it in the box, set it on the ground, and walk away. ]
impheired: mouse traps and brownies on my porch? (unsure ♚ just wondering. did you put)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-24 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay he may only be a little shy of a foot taller than Mabel, but you forget his weirdly long legs. He could totally leave her in the dust right now if he really wanted to. But she has yet to get to the level of annoying that would warrant that.]

You barely come up to my shoulder: you're a midget.

[POT. KETTLE. BLACK.]

And...I dunno, I guess about five years older? [Why is that a question...does he not know how old he is or something, what the hell.] Why the fuck would you be asking something like that for a friend, anyway?
sugarcoats: (077)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-24 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
But it is dangerous! Just because it says one thing doesn't mean it's true, I mean, that's a good way to lure people in and trick them, don't you think?

[At that, he shakes his head sharply.]

There's no way that was an accident! Even if they're trying to fix it, they're not stopping anyone from going in there, and that's just as bad.
swordboning: (pic#8713736)

[personal profile] swordboning 2015-03-24 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
Good luck either way. Need anything else answered while you have me?

The incidents tend to worsen with time.

[y e a h.]

By the end of the situation with the ghosts, there was indeed a violent ghost attempting to kill anyone in its path. [Sousei's lips quirk downwards slightly at that.]

I was able to handle the other ghosts, but there was nothing I could do to that one.
littlestbaskerville: jack is a jerk he hit me on the head!! (✿ oh stop your crying it'll be all right)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-24 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
You're bigger than me though! [So protect a girl Yosuke!

The moment she hears the hiss she feels something herself and screams.]


Something touched me!

Bandersnatch!

[The chain growls lowly.]
spyrites: COMMISSIONED ICON. PLEASE DO NOT USE. (» i'm okay i promise)

[personal profile] spyrites 2015-03-24 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Haha... okay well... she's clearly okay then. Right. He doesn't believe her but okay.] Okay... [Please let go of his arm...

He glances toward the window but it doesn't provide much light for them either. Everything is just too dark... .... Was that hissing? No, he's totally hearing things...]


Don't worry, I'm sure they'll get it working again soon. I'm sorry you got stuck in here though. [He apologizes despite having nothing to do with this problem.]
littlestbaskerville: ablublublu you're a meanie!! (✿ i'm just looking for the sky that i -)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-24 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
...I was?

[Minus the creature of the abyss trying to bite, yeah...perfect angel here.]

You're not teasing Lily...are you?
deontology: (XCIX.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-24 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Run and waste less time trying to fight them all off, as far as Sousei's concerned, but maybe "run and live" isn't entirely inaccurate.

For that, though, he doesn't even bother to lift his gaze from where he slams his sheathed sword into another Santa that tries to step into their path.]


Focus on the people who clearly are incapable of defending themselves. Leave those who say or seem as though they can defend themselves be.

[They don't have time to try to protect everyone, and it'd be silly if they don't need to in the first place.]
verified: (where you belong)

[personal profile] verified 2015-03-24 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Right! I don't really remember the last time I visited a carnival, actually... so this is kind of new for me.

[ ahaha. girl don't try to embarrass yourself the first time you meet someone, geeze. once they're out of the snowman's range, she relaxes a little offering a smile. ]

It's nice to meet you too, Yosuke [ san? they look like the same age though ] -kun. I'm Fuuka Yamagishi.
andimfine: (✓ 6)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-24 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh. That sounds..awful. Is there an appropriate way to express that aloud? ]

Oh.

[ Well, he tried his best. ]

So it really is true? Everyone being taken from their worlds, and..everything else..?
littlestbaskerville: except what is a yandere pot i'm in that pot too (✿ you're already in high spirits.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-24 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
[The man's reaction is enough to cause the chain to growl and approach in an attack stance. The creature was fairly protective of Lily, so when it sensed any possible attack it was ready to defend or attack.

Lily on the other hand watches his reaction and looks a little confused by the reaction towards the chain. Gently she puts a hand to the chain's head and pushes it lightly, letting it know not to attack. If she needed she would bonk it on the head, like she does sometimes.]


Yeah, he's a chain. I made a contract with him! He won't attack unless I tell him to. [Most times, unless the chain gets a little too excited in the moment.]
littlestbaskerville: what, you thought you'd all be exempt? (✿ don't worry‚ you'll be fine.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-24 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
It's...not human! It's a machine! People made it.

[Then she's the person to speak to! She will be as blunt as you want.]
faithfulflame: (Rei ugh)

How about B

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-24 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Pearl isn't the only one who's having a miserable time. Rei approaches the snowcone stand as the younger girl is getting her snack and orders, looking at Pearl with an unhappy expression. There's a razor thin cut along her left cheek that looks like it's only just stopped bleeding, and a sliver seems to be missing from her jacket too. A large sliver.]

You got on that deathtrap too?
emotive: (I've been the quiet one)

[personal profile] emotive 2015-03-24 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
That's a safe assumption to make. Who knows how long it will continue though...?

[Her voice trails off as she considers the last part of her statement. The unknown amount of time they have is starting to look daunting.]

Oh, I haven't introduced myself. I'm Ai Thao. What should I call you?
poised: (✰ do goatees truly have such power?)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-24 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Flourish..... She wonders idly if maybe the healing managed to boost his stamina that much? It normally helps a person feel better in general, so perhaps that's it. Or maybe this is just his personality. Regardless, she merely laughs faintly and shakes her head.]

It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Yogi. But you don't need to worry about anything like that. I'm happy to help. This can all be rather... confusing.

[And she actually looks around a bit at all the lights and rides and attractions-] Are you familiar with this type of celebration? Is it normally so full of.... problems?
punchesyu: (SEE WORD IN ICON)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know if I'm more freaked out by Bandersnatch or whatever else is in here with us!

[Okay breathe, breathe, who is he kidding WHATATAHTAJADKLFJ]

Dude.... [His hand just graced the seat...]

Don't. Touch. The seat.

[It's a snake, that's what it feels like...]
borntorebel: (Default)

[personal profile] borntorebel 2015-03-24 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
[What else could it be? It's nothing she's seen before and the only thing she can think of that it closely resembles is a mindless, slavering beast that many people use to entertain themselves by feeding their hapless enemies to them.

Leia's spent the last few months with the lightsaber as her main weapon, training with it relentlessly until it's become a part of her in ways that she never imagined possible. It still feels off, mostly because she knows it was crafted by and for Darth Vader, not herself. But, it's a feeling she's learned to work around.]


You're right. Can you fight? [She's not making assumptions here.]
faithfulflame: (Rei Whoa!)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-24 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
[The breathing intensifies, and a heated breath seems to hit Rei full in the face, blowing the o-fuda scroll away. In her surprise, she falls back, landing with a flump on Yosuke's lap.]

A-Ahhhhhh! W-What?!
particularity: (f ✣ breathing out listerine)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Hinata just smiles wryly at him he knows there are very few good ways to react to it.]

Yeah, people being taken from their worlds is true. I don't trust CERES's story, but at least the different worlds thing is real. You'll run into people from all kinds of worlds here. Some of them are from alternate versions of the same worlds... or, even if there's someone from your world, they could be from a time further back or ahead of you.

...I've run into that a bit. [It's a thing. Also, uh, people coming back from the dead but yes.]
Edited 2015-03-24 01:28 (UTC)
verified: (but i will never do you wrong)

[personal profile] verified 2015-03-24 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Right.

[ she slows next to him as well, nodding. ] Yeah, it should be.

[ the howling makes her jump a little but she takes a deeper breath; it wouldn't do to panic when they're so close. ]

... W-We should hurry.

[ especially when the noises sound a little less far away. ]
ineptus: (30 ❤; Ƭнє fєєƖιηg σf Ɩєттιηg gσ)

[personal profile] ineptus 2015-03-24 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
[That is...kind of weird. But hey she's not going to question that right now. Nor is she going to address the fact that he is clearly also a midget. No, all of that is being pushed aside by excited bouncing and running up ahead of him so she can walk backwards and look at his face while she's talking. Or...kind of shouting more like. She's just really happy to see you okay?]

Oh my gosh it's you then!! I was right, it's you!! It has to be you!!
carptricks: (into the velvet sky)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-24 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Probably. I doubt anyone wants to be beaten over the head with reminders of our weird circumstances, anyway.

[. . . Kaito might be cheery and seemingly unfazed, but he wouldn't be surprised if there were people out there not taking the whole "your world was destroyed" thing very well at all]
notsosolo: (Default)

[personal profile] notsosolo 2015-03-24 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever it is, they apparently really want us to celebrate it.

[Worrying, really. Mandatory "fun" generally was.]
