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!!!

[personal profile] sunshied 2015-03-23 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
I- uh- yes, it did! Are you alright?

[His first instinct is to help her if she's injured or otherwise incapacitated, and so he scrambles to his feet to do just that. Unfortunately his movements are too fast for someone who's just had the air pushed out of them and so he stumbles a bit, dizzy and sore from the impact still. He keeps his cool, however, and moves closer to the girl.]

If you're hurt, we can go find help.
mermaiding: (that ploughs the raging sea)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2015-03-23 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
Of course am alright. [She straightens up instantly and then hisses, the motion causing her to become acutely aware of the bruising at her hips and shoulders from the impact with the floor. Still, she gives an impatient wave.]

Will be fine! This is nothing. You, on other hand... [Oona eyes him with a frown, reaching out to grab him in case he stumbles again or something] Injured? Can you walk?
sunshied: (10)

[personal profile] sunshied 2015-03-23 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Honestly, I've been hit by worse things. I think I'll recover.

[He tries to laugh it off, wincing when he agitates his rib cage.]

I can walk, if you want to get out of here.
mermaiding: (My name it is Maria)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2015-03-23 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
[She looks skeptical at that, but then Oona doubts the abilities of 99% of the humans she encounters at any given moment.]

Stop laughing, it is clearly making it worse. Perhaps there are healers somewhere. Or something? [Either way:] Yes, want to leave. This place is stupid. [Oona takes a moment to look hi over again and then sighs as though she's taking on some great burden here as she moves to his side.]

You look like you will fall over. Lean on me, so we can get out without worry of that.
sunshied: (1)

[personal profile] sunshied 2015-03-25 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, I'm fine!! Really, I'll be fine. My brother's given me worse bruises in training. I think.

[Tenka does tend to get carried away but-!! Maybe not the best way to put it, at any rate.]

Shouldn't that be my line?
mermaiding: (Reclining on the bosom)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2015-03-25 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[She chuckles and then winces herself, shaking her head. Geez, look at them...! Hot messes, both of them.]

Am not as fragile as humans, do not place me in same, eh... [The word she wants is 'category' but it's not coming to her] Group.

But, perhaps we should just lean on each other then. [He mentioned a brother though, and that gets the wheels turning in Oona's head...]
sunshied: (12)

[personal profile] sunshied 2015-03-25 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
I guess if that's what you want, it's okay.

[He still doesn't connect the dots that she's not human, though. Sorry Oona he thinks you're just weird.]

Here. [And moves closer, though he doesn't reach out to touch her yet in case she changes her mind.]
mermaiding: (he home will safe return.)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2015-03-25 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[She looks at him expectantly, but when he doesn't move to actually get physical with her, she heaves a sigh and slides her arm around him, fully content on taking charge here. Anything to get them out of this place faster.]

Do not wish to remain here longer. Outside, now. [She can question hi about brothers and such afterwards.] If we stay, something stranger might happen. Maybe those hugging robots will come back.

[the horror]
sunshied: (5)

[personal profile] sunshied 2015-03-25 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nearly jumps in surprise when she begins taking charge of the situation, also from the fact that his ribs do hurt a bit. He'll bounce back, as always, of course.]

Outside. Right. [Wow he felt so awkward right now. She was certainly no Nishiki.]

Hugging robots...?

[What the hell was this place?]
mermaiding: (whoever you may be)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2015-03-25 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. [She wrinkles her nose as they start making their way to the exit] Like to give hugs, so not take 'no' for an answer. Is very aggravating.

But suppose I would rather have those than the robots that try to kill people. Do not go on the big fast ride, if can help it. Very annoying.
sunshied: (10)

[personal profile] sunshied 2015-03-25 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Well... if I find it I'll be sure to avoid it.

[He has no idea which she's talking about but if it's one of the ones that go off the ground he's fine with that.]

What's your name? [Yes, good. Try to be conversational while they walk together. It's totally not becoming a weird date.]
mermaiding: (While up aloft in storm or gale)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2015-03-25 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Good. [An assured nod.]

Ah, yes. Name is Oona. I... do not have other name. Family name? Last name? Whatever you call it. Only Oona. [She looks to him then, tilting her head with open curiosity] You?
sunshied: (Default)

[personal profile] sunshied 2015-03-26 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Uhm- Soramaru. My family name is Kumou. It's nice to meet you?

[Despite how weird as hell this place is and it will probably only continue to get stranger but after dealing with a giant demon snake possessing his body there isn't that much to really spook him anymore. However he does still want to learn more about the robots.]
mermaiding: (sunny skies above)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2015-03-26 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
You say it like you do not know. [But she laughs instead of seeming offended by it or anything.

Kumou though...
] Ah! [Oona stops and turns slightly to look up at him, her eyes wide and bright] You know Aniki then! That is why you looked so familiar! Family, yes? Aniki will be very happy!

[Oona looks pretty excited herself; Seriously, Tenka's going to be over the moon about this, she's so happy for him. And also for, you know. Other reasons. That will come up a little later.

Godspeed, Soramaru.
]
sunshied: (10)

[personal profile] sunshied 2015-03-26 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
You call him 'aniki' as well?

[Tenka... what r u doing. but no really he's not jealous or anything. She seems really nice? and is clearly very excited to meet him. What has Tenka been telling people?! He's so embarrassed right now.]

I'm just happy he's here. He went away somewhere far back home so I haven't seen him in a while. I don't think he knows that, though.
mermaiding: (that ploughs the raging sea)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2015-03-26 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Eh, yes? Is what he told me to call him. Is it strange? [Come to think of it, not many other people seem to call him that... Her brow furrows and she frowns in a mix of uncertainty and just full-on pouting.

But she hums in understanding
] He will be very happy. It will be nice for him-- and you. Family is important. [This is said very firmly, because if there's nothing else Oona believes in 100%, it's at least this.]
