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)

//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!!!


particularity: (m ✣ that'll be enough)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-23 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[No, why are you here and the others here, Hinata's really the one shocked about this!! Except, at least he has the benefit of past experiences, of friends appearing and disappearing, while for Gundam this'll be completely new ground.]

Ah-- [That way of speaking aw it makes him feel all nostalgic and fond (for now at least, give it time), especially since it's been so long.] Is this a world draped in your shadow...?
hamham: was singing "what does the fox say" so I started answering in similar satanic ritual noises (Today in French class my teacher)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-23 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
[No, why are you here?!

But is that truly a question you are asking him? Are you really that nostalgic for his overlord bullshit? He crosses his arms with a confident smile.]


Kehehe...hardly yet, but it will soon be if it plans on housing me any longer! This world and all who inhabit it will not have long before both bend to my wishes. Already the influence from my mere presence is working its way deep into the core of this place...
particularity: (m ✣ of a frigid stormy snow)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-23 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[He is that nostalgic, actually... Leave him alone. Hinata missed his friends. His gigantic loser friends, hence why he's just watching Gundam with a slightly raised eyebrow.]

Well, honestly, if I could pick, I'd rather you run this place than CERES, given what they get up to.

[Even if Gundam's just being a silly... But he won't actually say that. He can imagine the reaction he'd get.] But anyway, more importantly, are you okay?
hamham: kitten this is so ideal. (Everywhere I look there's another)

1/2

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-23 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Aw don't worry. You have plenty of time to get tired of it at least this gigantic loser friend.

Though no. No Hinata. No you do not want him running this place. The loud cackle that follows that reply should tell you that much.]


A wise choice! Whoever this CERES is, I will gladly challenge them for the throne! Point the way and I will have them kneeling before me, kissing my the toe of my boot and begging for mercy!

[Don't say that...not right now...it might be better accepted later but right now is just not a good time did you see the fun house Hinata how dare they--]
hamham: End of story. (Never go drinking with anime club.)

2/2

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-23 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[...is he okay? Huh. Good question actually. One he has to give a little thought before answering.]

Heh, worry not for my well being. Though I died the death of a scourge, there seem to be no lingering effects.

[We're not talking about that virtual reality thing or the presentation or the hugging snowmen or any of that right now. Processing one thing at a time.]

You, however...you are not dead, correct? [Sure, he was reassured that this isn't the afterlife, but you know...gotta make sure.]
particularity: (m ✣ to reach this star?)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-23 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Death of a scourge? So then... Gundam remembers everything from that time, and he... Hinata scrubs his palm over his head, his hair, ruffling it up unconsciously, restlessly, remembering things that happened.]

Eh? No-- [There's a little lurch, hitch in his throat, and Hinata swallows against it.]

No... I'm not dead.
hamham: hand awkwardly close to your penis area by accident and look at you. (I just heard my mom say)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-23 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
[He did indeed. He is fresh off of that bus and CERES' bus and the starvation bus and a number of buses he never wanted to ride in the first place.

He studies his friend carefully as he speaks, but seems content with that answer.]


It is good to see you, in that case.
particularity: (f ✣ has brought us)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-23 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[No, Hinata's not going to get all overcome with emotion as he does feel toward many of their deaths-- he's going to swallow it down firmly and just talk like a functioning human being and focus on other emotions.]

It's good to see you too, Tanaka.

...But, c'mon, let's leave that thing be for a bit and go this way. [He indicates with a thumb.] They just brought you here, after all. It must be... confusing.
hamham: was singing "what does the fox say" so I started answering in similar satanic ritual noises (Today in French class my teacher)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-24 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
[That sounds like a good plan you have there Hinata.

He nods, a deep frown quickly settling in place.]


You speak as if the nonsense they spouted is something you can make sense of.

[It's really confusing, Hinata. It's a lot easier to accept this as some kind of afterlife...]

This once, I will allow you to lead me where you will. Take heed, however, that if the path becomes too dangerous for you I may be forced to usurp your temporary seat of power.
particularity: (f ✣ in this hell of a season)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Somewhat. This isn't the first time I've been in this situation.

[Let him tell you about the year he spent in horror hell Tanaka it was not a good time 0/10 would not recommend.]

But don't worry, I'm keeping to the safer path. It should be fine.

[No rides, no food, only minor side-eyeing of robots.]
hamham: chicken and waffles truck is convinced that I run a cult. (I hate it when the guy who runs the)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-24 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
...it's not?

[There is a healthy mixture of morbid curiosity and slight wariness in that question. The kind that just says "I'm going to misunderstand this completely". That's your only warning, Hinata.

But he follows, satisfied with that reassurance. No rides and just returning those side-eyes. Because no, you do not get to touch him or Hinata. Stay back.

Food wouldn't be bad though. It's not like that's going to try and kill them, right?]
particularity: (m ✣ from the chains of gravity)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
No...

[Pls don't misunderstand Gundam he is going to explain it as well as possible.] About a year and a half ago, I woke up in this place called Haven... and I spent about a year there with Komaeda.

[And occasionally one of the others showed up--Gundam, Tsumiki, Kuzuryuu, Pekoyama, Nanami, Sonia closer to the end...]

Then, a few months ago I was brought here.

[he's jamjar savvy]
hamham: like a cult. (I do not make homosexuality sound)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-24 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[No, he's completely misunderstanding. You can tell just by the suspicion practically dripping from his words.]

I see...and this Komaeda you speak of...is he the one present here?
particularity: (s ✣ is we can't move closer)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes...

[......] Tanaka? Is something wrong?
hamham: to pee in a cape (May I just say it is extremely difficult)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-24 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
How simple minded do you believe me to be, fiend?!

[Apparently, yes. Something is wrong.]

I cannot speak for the Tanaka you know of, but this one is not so easily fooled! Speak your intent quickly and clearly, before I decide to destroy you where you stand!
particularity: (m ✣ no one misbehaved too)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
...

......

[Luckily he's still vaguely okay with Gundamese, though he'll have to get back into it. Hinata stops and turns to face him properly, lifting up his hands.] When it comes to my intentions... you already know them, right, Tanaka?

As a friend, I want to tell you about what's happened, even if it sounds crazy. You don't even have to believe it all [he won't force him to, of course], but I wouldn't feel right keeping it from you.
Edited 2015-03-24 15:54 (UTC)
hamham: to your penis. I have every right to give it a name. (I've done unspeakable things)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-24 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[There is still a lot of distrust in the look he's giving him, though he seems to relax at least a little. Not much, but a little.]

...'friend'? So then you must have made a similar pact...

[This is mostly said to himself, but pretty soon he's addressing Hinata again.]

Before I will listen to whatever tales you plan on weaving for me, what is the nature of your relationship with your world's Tanaka Gundam? The differences between the multiverses may be subtle in some cases, but in others they can be deadly...you have already made your first mistake by announcing the fundamental difference between yourself and my Hinata, it will not be so easy to lead me into any traps!
particularity: (m ✣ you let this beat us down)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
The nature of our relationship, huh... We're friends, and I don't know how well I can describe it.

But... [Since he's going that far... Hinata spreads apart his hands slightly, like he's leaving himself open on purpose. And he is.] You wouldn't let me get close to you at first, you thought I might've been lying to you or trying to take advantage of you...

But I still won't do that, no matter what.

Even if I've gone through some things you don't know about yet, and even if I... might've changed a little from how I used to be, I'm still Hinata. And I want to be friends with you, friends where you don't have to worry about being taken advantage of or being forced to do something you don't want to.

...I mean, you shared your power with me and all.
hamham: rampant sexual urges and the fact that you live the same life as a raccoon. (Your exhaustion is probably due to your)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-24 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Gundam is silent for a long moment, regarding the other carefully and processing what he says. He's not nearly as guarded though, clearly affected by those words. And eventually he ends the silence by holding out his hand.]

If this is true, you should be able to take my hand without fear. Prove to me that your words are more than just that and allow any false claims wither away with your corpse.

[Don't be fooled by the venom in those words he's really hoping you're his Hinata and not some alternate universe clone out for his life right now.]
particularity: (f ✣ to bless them in)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hinata almost, almost lets his shoulders slump a bit in relief. But, more important than slumping is proMPTLY GRABBING HIS HAND.

(that was quick)

It feels just like he remembers-- a normal human hand.]


Like this? [And he'll squeeze his hand. c:]
hamham: rescue a 30lb street turtle. Don't even bother attempting to rise to this level bitch. (Drinking heavily at 3pm and about to)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-24 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wow that was quick. But he squeezes it in return!!! Just you know. Making double sure he isn't hiding any super human anything in there somewhere. Gotta make sure he is human through and through! After a purely thoughtful grunt, he nods, though he doesn't let go.]

There have most certainly been some changes, but there is no mistaking this feeling. Your soul still clearly resonates with the singularity I have claimed as my own. Fuahaha! Be grateful, for I have taken this opportunity to renew our pact, in case our time apart had brought about any cracks in its strength!

[He is glad you are still his friend, friend. He still wants to be your friend too. Thank you.]
particularity: (m ✣ the burden in our bodies)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Squeeeeeeeeeze-- This probably won't turn into a contest of strength like last time. Maybe. Hinata might just be happy and this is how he's expressing it.]

Thanks. I had started to worry about how that pact was doing.

[He won't give up their friendship so easily!!]
hamham: to know whether or not I should refrain from giving my evil laugh when I enter the apartment... (Are you awake? Because I would like)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-24 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[That and his words earns him a hearty cackle and a firmer squeeze!]

So long as my spirit persists within even the same universe as yours, such worries become trivial. My will cannot and will not perish as easily as my corporeal form might so don't allow such foolish doubts to weigh on your mind. Being in my presence once more, you will surely need to have all of your wits about you in case you are caught in the midst of a battle for supremacy with the demons of this world.

[Alright. Letting go, because there's no need for this to turn into a strength contest! Plus, weren't they going somewhere?]

Now, what is it that you wished to speak with me about?
particularity: (m ✣ i don't know where to start)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's oddly reassuring. Even with the type of language Gundam uses. He doesn't know if he's the only one who thinks this way, but he does think it. But, anyhow, dorky strength contests aside, back to walking-- no destination really in mind, but eventually they'll start passing by food stalls.]

Huh-- oh, right. The place I was at before... I guess I've had a lot of experiences there, so I learned a lot about worlds like this. The last one brought people from all kind of worlds to be test subjects, but they say they aren't doing that here...

We really might end up being caught in a battle for supremacy here. For as long as we're here, we should be careful...
hamham: This is what I need to live up to. (Grandpa got a dui while riding a horse.)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-24 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well hey, that was part of the point of that speech. As much reassurance as it was confirming that he trusts you not to betray him. So it's good he thinks that way, even if he's the only one.

But the stalls catch his eye as they start to pass them, though he listens intently as his friend speaks.]


Test subjects...

[It's sort of mumbled to himself, gaze leaving the stalls to look his friend over instead. "Test subject" isn't a good label.]

So this CERES then is doing something similar, however we seem to be filling the position of warriors for them instead? Intriguing. Asking someone of my caliber to fight for them...it's not a bad tactic, though thinking I would go along with it is stupidity at best.

[And back to scrutinizing the food. Hinata was fine, he was sure.]

Of course, if they're asking you to do battle as well, I have no choice but to accept.
