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.

Good. Do that.

[His words were surprisingly firm-- and as if using that as a cue, he unceremoniously dumped everything in his hands into the nearest waste basket.

And gave it an extra shove deeper into the wire container. For emphasis.]


Dunno what kinda hint that those guys are tryin' ta give us, [He muttered, now giving the waste basket a solid kick just for the sake of it.] Things like that are personal. It ain't right to make jokes like that!

Isn't this a festival? You'd think there'd be kids here... cripes, I'm not really that fond of this place. If they're gonna be like this, then show me the first way out of here.

[ But if the first way out is back to being corrupted data or whatever (he wasn't really listening...), he doesn't want anything to do with it. He likes existing, thank you very much. ]

You new, too?
aerialassault: (uncool -- i don't care)

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-03-24 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Those words were far easier to say than do, stranger, as the first bus out was just gonna send them back into the data abyss of nothingness, and Cliff was pretty sure that actually existing was still a far better fate than the alternative.

He scratched his head, discreetly ignoring the first question.]


Yeah, just got in today with the rest of the folks on the bus. Can't say I'm too thrilled with how management is running this place either. With rides like what they've got here and gifts like these, this has gotta be the last place I'd think of bringing a little kid.

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-24 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
I don't actually see a lot of kids around. Maybe they only bring in grown ups when recruiting to save the world. Which would... pretty much be a sound call on their part.

[ Of course, Gaius could just be missing them. But for a festival, he is noticing a distinct lack of children. Absolutely no shortage of teenagers, though. Crivens, it's making him feel old just looking around... ]
aerialassault: (neutral -- cutting to the chase)

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-03-24 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Cliff, already accustomed to hanging around people he could be a young dad to, was hardly affected by the presence of all of the teens at the festival. If anything, it only made him slightly more concerned.]

That just makes it creepier, if they're giving out gifts like these. What the hell do they expect people to do with them?
candycoating: (020)

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-24 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Repurpose them into fun crafts? Instruments to be used for adult education? I can think of a dozen different uses other than the intended one. I'm not sure they're as creative as me, though.
aerialassault: (uncool -- do not want)

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-03-24 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Why would you repurpose a--

[Cliff cut himself off, jaw abruptly snapping shut as he furtively cast a glance around the area for any small children. Then he leaned in and crouched a bit, continuing his rant in an agitated hiss.]

Why would you go and repurpose a goddamn dildo for arts and crafts?!

[The look in his eyes begged askance. Why, oh why, would you submit someone to that?]
candycoating: (009)

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-24 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He'll kind of be raising an eyebrow at that. ]

You sound like you've never heard of sarcasm, buddy. Besides, just because I can think of it doesn't mean someone should do it.
aerialassault: (thinking -- so that's it)

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-03-25 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Pulling away, Cliff found himself rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.]

Welp. Ya got me there. Guess I really am getting old.
candycoating: (060)

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-25 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry about it. Not all of us can be as youthful and quick-witted as me.

[ That was still sarcasm, with a little bit of ribbing. ]

Planning on doing anything else at this festival? I'm not sure if I want to stick around for them to throw more inappropriate toys at me.
aerialassault: manga image (irritable -- no time to joke)

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-03-25 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hah. Cute one, kid.]

I ain't gonna stick around, that much I know. After everything over the last few days, a stiff drink at some place where people don't care sounds like it's in order. Do ya know anything good 'round here yet?
candycoating: (057)

[personal profile] candycoating 2015-03-25 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Beats me. I bet if you used that Cere... vice thing, you could find something. It sounded useful for stuff like that, but I don't have the first clue about how to use it.
