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!!!


littlestbaskerville: ablublublu you're a meanie!! (✿ i'm just looking for the sky that i -)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-23 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Lily just pouts a little more before she quickly nods her head to him.]

Uh-huh! This place likes to do weird stuff, new people come in and it does weird things. Sometimes dangerous too.
sugarcoats: (095)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-23 10:49 am (UTC)(link)
Eh... I don't like the sound of all that. Doing strange things and hurting people. It seems like it would be hard to go through, but you know, you seem to be very brave about it.
littlestbaskerville: i'm totally and completely 100% innocent (✿ we'll fulfill our dreams &we'll be -)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-23 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm tough...I've had worse happen. I've been shot before here and home but I'm okay!

[She says this rather proud.]
sugarcoats: (006)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-23 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[That. Is not what he was expecting to hear. Not even a little.

You've... you've been shot before?

[Just because she's a child doesn't mean bad things couldn't have happened to her, he knows, but the way she says it so casually throws him for a loop.]
littlestbaskerville: and i want sweets leT'S GET SOME SWEETS (✿ you will dance with me‚ yeah!)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-23 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Mn-hm! Baskervilles don't die easy.

[She puffs her chest out.]

It still hurts! But it means if it gets too dangerous I'll be okay! Plus I have Bandersnatch.

[As she spins saying this the tattoo on her face is a little more clear.]
sugarcoats: (029)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-24 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
[He wishes he had even the slightest idea what she is talking about. All he knows is that she is far too cheerfully talking about awful things.]

Even so... getting hurt that badly...

[He had never seen a child with a tattooed face, but things might be different here. At this point, he is rather sure that he won't like the answer, but he has to ask anyway. Was it related at all the her tattoo?]

What, um, what is Bandersnatch?
littlestbaskerville: bandersnatch, i choose you! (☠ just take my hand [+bandersnatch.])

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-24 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[If only Yogi knew...This was nothing for Lily, considering she has killed on the orders of Master Glen.]

I don't like it, it still hurts.

[She pouts until he asks the best question. Whenever she could show off Bandersnatch she was excited and happy to do so.

With a grin she summons the large, black dog-like creature.]


This is Bandersnatch!
sugarcoats: (094)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-24 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Of all the things he was expecting, this was an unpleasant surprise. The last time he had met a cute little girl with a strange pet, he had fought to protect a town from monsters until he passed out and woke up with his body aching and missing some of his memory again. Not this time, please.

Right now he'll be jumping backwards through the air, further than anyone should normally be able to, and holding his arms down and out to his sides, as if he's holding something in each hand. Yogi tries not to think the worst.]


Lily! That-- that's Bandersnatch? You're... controlling it? What-- what is it?
littlestbaskerville: except what is a yandere pot i'm in that pot too (✿ you're already in high spirits.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-24 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
[The man's reaction is enough to cause the chain to growl and approach in an attack stance. The creature was fairly protective of Lily, so when it sensed any possible attack it was ready to defend or attack.

Lily on the other hand watches his reaction and looks a little confused by the reaction towards the chain. Gently she puts a hand to the chain's head and pushes it lightly, letting it know not to attack. If she needed she would bonk it on the head, like she does sometimes.]


Yeah, he's a chain. I made a contract with him! He won't attack unless I tell him to. [Most times, unless the chain gets a little too excited in the moment.]
sugarcoats: (027)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-24 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[At the show of aggression, Yogi shifts his own weight and puts his hands in front of him, making soothing gestures.

Since she doesn't seem to be afraid of the creature at all, he feels better on that front, but a creature like this is exactly what he fights back home. Still, fighting is the last thing he wants to do. Could this really be called normal for other people?]


We um, we don't have er, "chains" back where I'm from, so I'm really surprised right now. I won't attack, okay? I don't want anyone to get hurt, I promise.
littlestbaskerville: huffhuff i'm ready for friends let's make friends!! (☠ your protector's - [+bandersnatch.])

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-24 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
[As the chain continues to growl she bonks the chain lightly on the head. As it flattens it's ears and lays down on the ground.]

No, Bandersnatch!

[Lily can see that Yogi doesn't mean harm to her or the chain. Though when he mentions that they have something like chains in his world her eyes light up and she runs towards him.]

Really?! You have things like chains?
sugarcoats: (099)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-24 10:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Seeing that she really is in control of the dog-like creature lets Yogi exhale softly, though he keeps an eye on Bandersnatch even as Lily runs towards him.]

That's right, we have things that well, they remind me of your Bandersnatch here. They're more like wild animals though, and there aren't too many people that can do what you're doing right now.

[It's not the time to be mentioning that the altered animals at home are abominations, so Yogi just smiles, though not as warmly as he would like.]

You've got some pretty amazing talent there, I have to say!
littlestbaskerville: huffhuff i'm ready for friends let's make friends!! (☠ your protector's - [+bandersnatch.])

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-24 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[The chain sits and watches the two of them, keeping an eye on Yogi.]

Really? That sounds like chains! There are lots of different type, if you don't make a contract they can be crazy though if you do a contract as a human you will die too. A clock will appear on your chest.

[She points to her own chest before she grins. If she can explain things, it's chains!]

I am?
sugarcoats: (030)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-25 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't want to set Bandersnatch off, so he keeps his voice light, and is able to give her a confused smile this time.]

"As a human"? I understand only certain people being able to control them, but I'm afraid the rest is still confusing.

Mm, you really are awesome though, and you know so much about all of this, too.
littlestbaskerville: and i want sweets leT'S GET SOME SWEETS (✿ you will dance with me‚ yeah!)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-25 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh...

[Lily feels like the chain has been out a bit, plus she wants to save his time limits. So in a wisp of smoke the creature vanishes.]

Only Baskervilles are supposed to have contracts with Chains! I found them and they took me in since I'm one too! My real family left me in the woods.

[She smiles at the compliment and bounces on the balls of her feet.]

Mn! Lottie, Doug and Fang taught me a lot! Master Glen too!
sugarcoats: (051)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-25 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[With the chain vanishing, Yogi doesn't immediately relax, but it is easier to talk without watching them, threatening even if it was being relatively tame.]

Left you...

[It's not the first time he's met a child left alone, but still, it's saddening to hear that it happened to such a young girl. While he is fretting about what kind of life Lily had before coming here, it does sound like she had some good things too, so he doesn't have to fake the relief on his face.]

That's great, I'm so glad you were able to find some nice people to take care of you.
littlestbaskerville: uuu master glen dreamy sigh (✿ sadness will be far away.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-26 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Honestly she didn't mean to put him on edge, Bandersnatch was a good chain!]

Uh-huh! My family was superstitious and left me in the woods to die. That's why I have the mark on my face too. Baskervilles can warp things around them and bring bad luck.

[Lily doesn't seem too bothered by saying it all, it was the past.]

Mn-hm! Master Glen is amazing. Fang, Doug and Lottie are my family too. Fang and Doug even got marks like mine.
sugarcoats: (018)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-26 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[He feels like he's been doing quite a good job of not getting too emotional about things, considering everything that's been going on, but Yogi can't help but sniffle and blink back some tears. Even if she doesn't seem to bothered, he definitely is.

Still, he does his best to get a grip, clasping his hands together. Later, he can take some time and think more deeply about a group of people willingly controlling things like chains and how they're similar to Kafka back home.]


Family is really important, hm? I'm sure they've all been very happy to have you in their lives, too.
sugarcoats: (095)
