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.

particularity: (m ✣ vainly)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-23 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[It's not a stupid robot, it's just stupid Hinata-- Wait, no, just Hinata. Ahem. And Kuzuryuu might notice that his eyes are red but that ain't no thing don't even mind it, 'cause he's pretty busy looking at the cut under Kuzuryuu's eye like what happened now... did you get in a fight...]

Huh? Bus?

[--ah, that's how they got here?] No, I've been in the city for a while already. Did they just go and bring you guys straight here after their explanation...? [Did they really think that was a fantastic idea????? Who is in the mood to go to an amusement park after that powerpoint? Hinata knows he hadn't been.]
impheired: have 'baptized' your tattoo in vodka the same night you got it. (talk ♚ i really don't think you should)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-23 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[No he definitely did not get into a fight already! Of course not! Never! Okay he sort of got in a fight with a robot but it tried to hug him. He was completely justified! The red eyes don't really seem to bother him much, though he is a little confused as to why he doesn't have the blonde hair and weird aura to go with it. What happened to the other half of your power up, Hinata?]

Yeah, that's exactly what they did. Made us sit through some fucking powerpoint then herded us onto a bus without any sort of explanation at all. [Do you understand now why he look so displeased before he registered that the voice was yours? Oh no wait...he always looks like that.] But if you've been here a while, I guess that explains how I missed you. [Like if he'd really missed that antennae it would have been an accomplishment.]
particularity: (m ✣ well i can see it as time)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-23 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[So anti-hug... but to be honest Hinata probably would've tried to fight a robot if it tried to hug him too. Can't trust (most) robots okay. Nidai's the exception and can you call him a legit robot...]

Of course that's what they did... [SO EXASPERATED W/ CERES'S BULL]

I got here a couple of months ago, now... But they didn't do anything like this to our group. Anyway, you all right? You've got a cut. [He gestures with his finger at his own face to indicate. Please be careful with your eye Kuzuryuu it's the only one you've got left??]
impheired: at my worst, then leave because i don't have a best. i'm always awful. (talk ♚ if you can't handle me)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-23 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know. It's fine, I've had worse.

[He just didn't think it was worth doing anything about except putting a little spit on it? Pretend you're surprised...]

Whatever you do, don't go on the rollercoaster. [It...fights back.] Actually, you're probably better off not going on anything. So the powerpoint is normal, but this part isn't? What about that thing before the powerpoint? ViVa? ViVe? Whatever the fuck it was, I wasn't really paying attention to the name. That apocalyptic looking virtual reality bullshit with Enoshima at the end.

[Of course the final boss was Enoshima for him. Of course.]
particularity: (m ✣ never ever had a pure love)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-23 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
[HE WON'T GO ON IT... or on anything. He's heard about how everything is trying to kill everyone. Business as usual.]

Ah, ViViD? [And oh hey he had Enoshima for a final boss too. Fuck Enoshima. But that also answers another very important question of his, as to what time, precisely, Kuzuryuu is from. It's a relief.]

From what I've heard, everyone goes through it before the powerpoint. What comes after's different... like for the group after mine, they were all painted as criminals somehow and there were robot assassins after them...

[this place]
impheired: "i swear it'll be funny" and then we were in jail. (unsure ♚ all i heard was)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-23 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Hell yeah, fuck that bitch. And fuck having to fight her twice within a span of like 20 minutes. Nobody should have to do that.]

...what the fuck is wrong with this place? Though fuck, I'd rather deal with something like that then this bullshit. [He didn't like amusement parks before murder island happened, he definitely didn't like them after that, and he SUPER DEFINITELY doesn't like them now. At least being painted a criminal is something he's used to.] What happened when you got here then?
particularity: (m ✣ up in the harbor's red tower)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-23 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Of course Kuzuryuu'd rather deal with something like that...]

Me? I was shoved right into ViViD just after I came here... I couldn't log out until someone else found me--then an exit would open up somewhere in the game. [Which was, you know, a little annoying but not life-threatening.]
impheired: with a trip to the emergency room, a broken macbook and a gigantic hole in the concrete of my driveway. (stare ♚ it started as a joke and ended)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-23 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Gangsta lyfe.]

...that's all?

[What the hell man that seems so much less bullshitty than the example you just gave him and what he is currently enduring right now. How did you get so lucky, Hinata?]
particularity: (f ✣ becomes pained the more)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-23 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
That's all.

...don't look at me, I didn't pick it. [He didn't ask to get easy street... But it's okay, it's like one of the only times anything's gone easy on him, so.]
impheired: at my worst, then leave because i don't have a best. i'm always awful. (talk ♚ if you can't handle me)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-24 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't think you did, but still. [If you did, that would mean you're in on it!!! Which you better not be because this isn't funny!!!!!] So weird shit like this is normal then?

[Are there any virtual realities that aren't complete bullshit????]
particularity: (m ✣ and rise up to the satellite)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
[He's not in on it!!!] Yeah, more or less. Something... usually happens when people arrive, and then sometimes there's something else that happens in the month.

...they've been either something to do with the environment, like what's going on now here [8| amusement park], or things that affect us psychologically or physically.
impheired: why there is sushi in the soap dish in the bathroom. (stare ♚ care to explain)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-25 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Good, he doesn't have to beat you up! He would hate to have to do that to his brother.]

Great. [He is so not looking forward to whatever comes along with the whole physical or psychological effects part of all this.] What the hell is the point? Like...are the people running it just that braindead? You can't ask people for help and then turn around and pull something like carnival of near-death-and-possible-maiming. [A beat.] Or was all that powerpoint bullshit a lie.

[He's still not sure what to think of it, honestly. The part with the aliens sounds really far-fetched, but then again, so does a high school girl ending all of civilization as we know it.]
particularity: (f ✣ i couldn't see tomorrow)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-25 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Why would you anyway he's a twig-- well, not so much a twig anymore but it's hard to tell that under that long jacket he's wearing.]

...Trust me, a lot of us have been wondering the same things. [But.] I can only tell you that I don't believe what they've been telling us, or any of their talk about every thing that goes wrong just being "glitches" they need to fix. But I haven't been able to get much other information yet on what their other goals could possibly be...

[Besides like using them for test subjects and idk preparing to harvest their souls to fuel their spiral take-over-other-worlds machines. Which had been his running theory in Haven. It's difficult to apply here without spirals everywhere.]
Edited 2015-03-25 15:03 (UTC)
impheired: not on me. just like...in a drawer (ponder ♚ sometimes i wish i had boobs.)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-25 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Because it would be hella rude for him to be in on it and then pretend like he wasn't, duh! And violence is his answer to everything. Also, come on, Hinata, if you're a twig, Kuzuryuu's a splinter. You could take him. Maybe.]

Well I trust you more than I trust a buncha labcoats. [So as of now, he is choosing not to believe them. At least not until there's more hard evidence these fuckers are even remotely trustworthy.] That doesn't really surprise me though. Organizations as big as this one surely must be tend to play their cards close to their chests, and triple-check their own asses constantly. Especially if they're up to something shady.

[YES, YOU WOULD KNOW ALL ABOUT THAT SORT OF THING, WOULDN'T YOU, KUZURYUU?]

But nothing's foolproof. It's just a matter of finding a weak spot, something exploitable...
particularity: (m ✣ from the chains of gravity)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-27 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Hinata's nodding along because yeah no he has no love of large organisations like these-- Kuzuryuu's family, even, would be more preferable.]

I've tried hacking into their database before-- [??? hinata perhaps you ought to explain the real body thing but everything in time one supposes] --but I couldn't break through there.

So far, it seems like we still have to wait for one of those weak spots.
impheired: i don't care that you and the dog are epic bros, that's just not cool. return him. (tanaka ♚ you kidnapped her dog.)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-27 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Come with me and you be in a world of captcha-free elation.]
