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!!!


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 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! Time moves different here.

[Best way to describe it really.]

They say that our home is gone but I don't believe it!

[Wow look at all these girls that just rush right up to him. Excuse him while he tries to right himself a little bit Kaoru. He has no idea who you are but things could be worse, right? Cue trying to be smooth like his big bro and trying not to look worse for wear than he is.]

Ah - I'm sorry, have we met?

[He smiles though internally he's a mess of pain because of how hard he slammed into the ground. Hang on he'll get up in a minute.]

[Honestly, he doesn't mind that hug going on for as long as it is. He doesn't mind at all...]

So you're saying that even if Ephenia explodes, you would have enough faith in us to still be alive?

[He can't help but snort at that. Now that's really a logic he wants to whap her upside the head for, but he won't. It's not behind her to have such faith in Asbel and the others. As well as faith in Hubert himself which has been demonstrated numerous times. That unrelenting optimism that caused him to ultimately really fall for her so he could protect it.

To see her so happy is enough of a reward, that he's here. But would she be reacting the same if it were Asbel? Sophie? Richard? Who knew? But for now he will relish in this self-satisfaction of making the woman he loves smile like so.]


I would like for you to do that. After all, it should be the duty of someone who's been around for a while, assuming you've been here longer than I have. [Which has been less than a day now.] And if you have that childish faith that everyone else will show up, then I suppose I have no choice but to resort to that belief as well.

[If only Malik were here to make fun of him...]

[He's not bald, no. But the way his hair got chopped is definitely worth laughing at though. Thankfully it'll just take a little professional TLC to get it back to normal, but it's not like Larry can see that now. He's just got this girl's word to go off of.

...which he's going to take for the most part, by the way.]


That's reassuring at least... You really don't think it looks too bad? I don't got a mirror to check it.

[SMART CHOICE. But she doesn't look appeased at all. Kind of giving him the stink eye, really.]

Are they? You should have thought about that before handing me a dildo. [Don't try to talk about her...!!] Hoh, so you're saying you prefer your left eye?
aerialassault: (uncool -- do not want)

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-03-24 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Cliff slammed a hand against the wall when she jumped, momentarily fearing that the little car they were trapped in would sway too much from the sudden motion and send them both careening downward to their death.]

What? No! Why would I do anything?!
buildyourworld: (How dare you)

8D no worries, I'm on GMT+8

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2015-03-24 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ No, Rei, it's not you. It's him, because years of being in a paramilitary organization teaches him not to trust anyone without proof and CERES hasn't. Listening to her recounting her experience convinces him more that CERES is indeed untrustworthy. ]

Why would I subject myself to potential danger in an unknown place offered by a suspicious organization?

[ But on that note, maybe he shouldn't open the present so carelessly. So instead of continuing, he reaches for the drawstring bag he bought earlier for the Haro within (and the Gundam but no one need to know this). ]

Haro, open this package. Danger alert. [ The Haro's eyes light up upon activation, flapping it ears eagerly at being given a mission. ] Roger! Roger!

[ With that, a pair of mechanical arms and legs are appears from it's round body as the Haro takes the present from Tieria's hand. If anything happens to the Haro, Tieria can fix it. ]

[Phoenix manages to spot her at some point after the ride, and he's immediately filled with concern. He quickly heads over to check on her.]

Pearls! What happened?

(Why is today backfiring on me?)

We're going to hit them all, got it?!

[And it's a good thing that he did tell her, he thinks-- because shortly after she runs, something strikes him hard, grabs at him. The only problem is that Naoki isn't the easily toppled sort, so he lashes back and there's fire, more now, crackling and roaring around him.

He can't see what's attacking him even if it can see him but he guesses it wasn't ready for fire. He hears mirrors shattering around him again, and then the invisible weight bearing against him; he lashes out blindly, thinks he strikes a body hard.

Naoki won't let himself be knocked down, no--

He's not sure how long the scuffling goes on when the lights come on-- and Fuuka's voice reaches him.]
I'm fine... you're all right? [Can she hear him if he talks? Either way, he's looking around at unbroken mirrors before heading to the exit.]
omurice: (pic#6268013)

[personal profile] omurice 2015-03-24 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
[It's almost in an instant he brings out his own weapon, one single blade that transform into a gun to shoot at the mirrors. If it's all shattered anyway, what harm could he do by shattering it even more? Besides, he did not come in here to be injured and terrified beyond belief! (At least he won't wet his pants).

For the time being he keeps a hand on her to ensure she's still there, to ensure she's safe, his military training kicking in now more than anything.

But it's not long until he's gracelessly thrown to the ground as he lets out a loud 'oomf'.

Not this shit again...]

[If anything's going to immediately put Larry on the defensive, it's something like this. In fact, he nearly drops his snowcone in the process!

...maybe that was more of a reaction to how intimidating this guy looks rather than anything he actually said, though. Still, he manages to hold his ground.]


I-I'm in mourning, okay?! That's a perfectly reasonable reason for a guy to cry!

[Reasonable reason. Yep.]
omurice: (pic#6138722)

[personal profile] omurice 2015-03-24 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
I think anyone would be if they were thrown in this situation.

[And he just admitted he's new. Good job, Hubert! Still, he gives her an incredulous look.]

And I don't believe I ever asked for your name.

[He's the best, most warm person ever! Isn't he? Still, he looks pretty super pissed and not exactly thrilled at his new conversation partner. Part of him his hoping his rude attitude will make her leave.]

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-24 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not as confused I've been here a couple of months now.

[Good job, Hubert...she can just stack that to one she's figured out!]

It's polite to say it though! Lottie told me that!

[Good luck, she lives with Vincent he has yet to scare her off...and he shot her. A little rude conversation won't turn her away easily.]
mermaiding: (Many a pretty blooming girl)

[So he's a dragon and he's super rare, and he doesn't seem inclined to lie about what he is. Yes, Oona finds herself quickly warming up to him-- besides the fact that not being human instantly improves his standing in her eyes anyhow.

what the fuck is a dragon's leg though. What does that even mean?? A cursory look over gets Jae-ha a mildly skeptical look. His leg looks normal to her, but before he can question it he's asking about flying of all things.

She gives him a rather comical wait what? look
] Fly? In the air? [where else, oona] Have not thought about it. My kind belongs under water, not up in the air. [Her tone turns curious though] What is it like?
endworld: (surprised ✝ wall broken!!)

[personal profile] endworld 2015-03-24 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't really know! We don't have things like this in my country, to be honest.

But it's too bad that you don't get to enjoy it that often—it seems like fun! Even if 'fun' in this place is usually accompanied by things that aren't so fun...
sunshied: (14)

[personal profile] sunshied 2015-03-24 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[He would be lying to himself if he denied that he was unhappy with Tenka for doing this but the urge to insist that he's a big boy and can take care of himself is strong. Once again he's relying on his brother. It felt good, even if it was a little bizarre after months of seeing him be the one needing help while he was stuck in a wheel chair.]

Aniki you don't have to carry me! [Okay he can protest a little, if only because of his pride being at stake. Either way he still wraps his arms around Tenka's neck in a loose hold. His ribs did hurt still but it would be nice to let Tenka big brother him for a little while.]

I'm not a kid, you know.

[Though to Tenka he probably always would be that six year old boy who cried with their little brother whenever he left their side for too long. It was strange how even while protesting he still felt like laughing a bit. Of course it makes his ribs hurt to do so and he has to admit defeat.]
aerialassault: (grin -- this'll totally work)

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-03-24 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Fuck yeah flying, indeed. Cliff would remember that for the future, if the two of them were together and they got attacked by a hoarde of MP draining mushrooms that were the hellspawn of the Vanguard system.]

It's Cliff, [He replied, passing a look around the peaceful terraine for any sign of something amiss.] I think I missed your's in the middle of all that fuss too.
endworld: (nervous smile ✝ oh hi shenna)

[personal profile] endworld 2015-03-24 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that's true. Usually, whenever they give us gifts, they're dangerous or kind of embarrassing... but I'm still really curious! They're always really... interesting, if nothing else.
bewrightback: (i am not buying that)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-24 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[He's holding it together pretty well, all things considered...

But there is a look of surprise on Phoenix's face; not just because of Larry's presence, but because he looks distinctly younger. Larry most likely hasn't changed much over the years, but it's possible that he's made some questionable fashion changes that are notably absent from the Larry in front of him.]


Old? I... I'm 34, that's all! But what happened to you, Larry? You're the one who's different!

Is it polite? I thought it was only polite if the other person seemed interested to engage conversation with you.

[Bumping up the rude level to 11 now because really, just go away! He wants to lament by himself and not be bothered by pesky little girls even if it's kind of nice that she's trying to talk to him.]

Yes! I'm fine.

[Hello human cushion, I mean, thank you Jae-Ha for cushioning Ai's fall. She rolls off though, loosening her hand's grip around his, and glancing around.]

I couldn't see what attacked us, but maybe the next time...!
failures: (✎ oh crap)

[personal profile] failures 2015-03-24 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Now that certainly gets Larry's attention, even more so when he realizes that the girl in front of him is actually referring to him. It's equally enough to distract him from his own hair problems as he's now squinting at her, completely confused.]

Uncle? I don't have any brothers or sisters, though... Who're you?

[What's even happening here?]

[ she can sense the thing attacking naoki but she still can't figure out what it is exactly. it's not a shadow, but she isn't even sure if it's actually real. he seems to be handling himself fine, however, and once the lights come back on, she speaks up again. ]

I'm okay, everything seems normal out here. What about you? Are you hurt? [ he seems fine, but it won't hurt to double check. ] I can't sense whatever was chasing us anymore...
