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.

[Slowly, Hide tries to pull himself up into a sitting position. He's sore but he doesn't think that anything is broken, thankfully. Now that the lights are back on he can see shards of glass and other people littering the ground. Finally, he turns his attention to the guy who spoke.]

Yeah, nothing broken I think. I'll probably live. [He tries to laugh it off to find exactly how shaken up he is.]

GAH I'M SO SORRY FOR BEING LATE.

[personal profile] sagemodes 2015-04-12 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
That's good! This place tends to get really dangerous when there's new people in the mix because well, you never know what to expect with these kind of games, to be honest.

[ Naruto, then, does the same. Because laughing off things makes it better right? But no he can tell the kid is still a bit wary of things, which... makes sense tbh. ]
scaryintuition: (pic#9004868)

it's okay!

[personal profile] scaryintuition 2015-04-12 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
It's like this every time new people are brought in? Seems like a strange way to welcome them.

[Actually it's a horrible way to welcome them. Hide slowly pushes himself to his feet, ignoring the aches of his body. He doesn't really want to stick around here and see if the monsters will come back.]

I think we should get out of here before whatever that was happens again.

[personal profile] sagemodes 2015-04-13 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, considering the circumstances of this place, maybe it's also a test to see if ya can fight or somethin'. Or maybe it's just their own weird way of greeting us like ya just said.

[ Naruto's going to just wait a bit patiently as Hide gets up, no need to rush a wounded person to be honest. ]

Yeah, that's a great idea. I don't really like haunted mirror houses to be honest.

If it's supposed to test our fighting abilities, I don't think they thought this out too well. Someone could get hurt if they don't know how to defend themselves. [Like him.] Someone should tell them they're coming on a little strong.

[Now that he's on his feet, he really begins to feel every ache and pain. But he's not going to let it stop him from making his escape. Even if it means he moves a little stiffly.]

I usually like them fine. Can't say I'm very fond of this particular one though.
sagemodes: (Naruto // Seriously...)

[personal profile] sagemodes 2015-04-18 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
Believe me, a lot of people tried, and they just kept on truckin' as if nothing's wrong anyways.

[ Crossing both his hands behind his head, Naruto just starts moving forward when he knows that Hideyoshi can move just fine for the express purpose of "GETTING OUT OF HERE", but his eyes still dart back towards the guy every so often just to check if he's still standing. ]

[personal profile] scaryintuition 2015-04-19 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
[He's determined to make it out of the fun house on his own two feet. Once outside, though, he's making no promises. He'll probably try to find somewhere to sit down and process what just happened to him.]

That doesn't seem very reasonable of them. I know we're only here because of them, but you would think it would benefit them to keep us happy. Since they apparently have need of us.
sagemodes: (pic#8502841)

[personal profile] sagemodes 2015-04-19 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
Well once you're out of this mandatory session ya can do anything you want. Though even then they can screw up something and cause weird things to happen even outside of this game world.

[ ...From the way he said it, Naruto is not even joking about it. ]

I can tell you one, if you like hearin' about things like that.
scaryintuition: (pic#8950095)

[personal profile] scaryintuition 2015-04-19 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Hide's curiosity is piqued. The way he's talking, it sounds like they're purposely causing chaos, not just for new arrivals either. But the why escapes him.]

I don't know if I'll like hearing about it. But I am curious. Tell me.

[personal profile] sagemodes 2015-04-21 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Well, one of it would be the time the weather control thingy of this place broke and caused the place to be winter when it's supposed to be fall.

...

And another time is when we do all these game testing and a fortune teller game caused us to act weird based on the cards we got [ LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT THAT THO HE STILL HAS FLASHBACKS TO POSING HALF NAKED ON THE STREET. ]
scaryintuition: (pic#8950078)

[personal profile] scaryintuition 2015-04-25 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Those things definitely seem unpleasant but...]

The weather controls could have broken on their own.

And wouldn't the fortune teller thing just be a part of the game? You were find once the game was over weren't you?

sagemodes: (pic#8505458)

[personal profile] sagemodes 2015-04-26 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...Hm... well, kid sure has his points. ]

Yeah, I suppose so, but well, it's kind of hard to pinpoint whose fault it is that caused all the weird things to happen.

[ beat. ]

But well, they happen either ways, so just keep watch over yourself and your friends in case weird things happen, alright?
scaryintuition: (pic#9004864)

[personal profile] scaryintuition 2015-04-26 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Even if Hide has a point about the things Naruto described, it's very hard to come up with a logical explanation for the things happening at this amusement park.

Except that someone is playing a rather tasteless joke on them.]


Yeah, alright. And you watch out for yourself to. Although I'm sure you already have plenty of experience there.

[And they have finally made it to the exit! In one piece even. And it's also at this moment that Hide realizes they haven't actually introduced themselves.]

By the way, my name's Hide.

Naruto Uzumaki, I'm gonna be one of the best ninja in my world!

[ Does he need to add that last bit in? Not really, but he likes the way it sounds so cool as an introduction!

YEAH he's that kind of idiot unfortunately. ]
