//event011.EXE
 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)

PHASE I [ xx PHASE II [ xx PHASE III [ xx PHASE IV [ xx BONUS [ why[ Remember to apply proper warnings on threads with trigger-y or inappropriate material and do let a mod know if your thread careens off into maiming or canoodling so we can lock the log. ] |
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.
no subject
There's no one out there so similar to him as Elcia is. It's a blessing, as it's why they get along so well (even if they pretend otherwise); it's a curse, being able to read one another just as well. It's why they've always had to maintain a certain distance.
Elcia's expression and words make it very clear to him that he's going to hate what he hears.]
... Oh, lots. But it'd take paragraphs to explain, so let's skip it.
no subject
Well, there's the hint of sunlight in front of them, and so Elcia moves that way, relieved to get away from the singing reindeer and the mirrors that definitely were reflecting monsters.]
...Creepy place.
[She's glad to be out of there, that's for sure.]
no subject
Agreed. I'd heard that people in the past celebrated a holiday called Christmas, but I didn't know it was this... interesting.
[They're delaying things.]
no subject
Is there anything wrong with...just pretending it could be fine like this?]
Now, now, Belph. You shouldn't mock the culture of another timeline so easily.
[Heh. Yeah, she's 100% joking, people of other timelines are weird.]
no subject
(How much happier would he be, if he didn't know what his family had done to the world?)
Ignorance is bliss, and it's so painfully true.
... But he has to know, he thinks.]
My, when did you become so culturally sensitive, Elcia? It seems as though time-traveling has been character-building for you.
no subject
She didn't find out anything about Irina's murder.
She didn't do anything.
...What a waste of a life.]
The Middle Ages were...really something else.
[...she doesn't want to. But she has to. And she's running out of excuses to give, especially with this weighing on her mind and the blood still drying, glueing her dress to her stomach.]
...How much did you see? [How much does she have to tell?]
no subject
... Your watch was found by that shady-looking noblewoman—Memme was her name, I think? I saw anything that went on when she wasn't inside a building.
[... It was the worst, knowing that he was so close to Elcia, but unable to contact her.]
no subject
... Elcia just frowns at that, before nodding vaguely.]
You saw Pedoe then. [Did Belph hear any of that about Pedoe wanting to make her his wife... some of it was in a building, most of it was nothing to take seriously--she severely underestimated him, didn't she?]
He kidnapped his own kid. [Ursin had been sweet. She wanted to help him--she'd really wanted to help that proud and energetic child.] ...And he killed him.
[...]
Sorry--I messed up. I wasn't careful enough, I guess. [Or she forgot, for a bit, that she was all on her own.]
no subject
He'd been wary from what he saw of Pedoe. It'd been natural, as the man was his ancestor (his uncle could be silly, but that didn't change what a dictator he was). Not much good has ever come out of his family line, full of selfishness and people who could only harm others—Belph included, apparently.
... After all, his actions led to...]
He killed you as well.
[There'd be no point in bringing this up if it weren't connected to why there's blood on her clothing, and if it were simply a matter of being injured, she would've said so, without so much reluctance.
... He doesn't want to believe it. He wants her to deny it and tell him otherwise.
But there'd be no point, he knows. He can always tell when she's lying.]
no subject
But in the end, he's the one who ordered it.
In the end, Belph's ancestor is the one who killed her.
She smiles weakly.]
It's not a big deal, but... I do regret that I couldn't find out more about what happened to Irina.
[That had been her big goal, after all, and...she'd wasted that chance, even.]
[1/2]
... Why had he told her that, back then? Why had he believed it? If he hadn't, then he might never have sent her back to the Middle Ages, never caused any of this to happen—]
... 'Not a big deal'?
[She died. She died, because he'd wanted to believe that everything was going to be okay. The last time he'd thought that, Irina and the technicians had ended up dead that night.
Irina died, because he'd run away and wasn't there to protect her from her murderer. Rexus is trapped in another dimension because of him, and as he gets the feeling that Elcia didn't find him, he's stuck there permanently, never realizing that Belph had betrayed him. And now, to be told that Elcia died...
... He's failed all of his friends, it seems.
What a poisonous existence his is.]
no subject
... You did what you could. If... I manage to return home, I can carry on the investigation. You don't need to worry about it.
[What he doesn't say is that he isn't sure if he wants to return home, knowing what awaits. If it's a world where all of his friends are gone, where Elcia is dead, then he has no reason to go back.
He also isn't mentioning his suspicions about who Irina's murderer was, now, having checked the prototype's datalog. It's something he should be telling Elcia, he knows, but... under these circumstances, it doesn't feel like a good time.]
no subject
There had to be a reason why she was so willing to risk her life.
But one fact of how well he knows her is that she knows him just as well in return. She wasn't expecting him to be happy at the news of her death, not at all, but... somehow, seeing him this sad about it just makes her all the most frustrated. This isn't how it was supposed to go. She was going to find out more information, and then return, and then--
And then what?]
... I think even if you say that, I'm going to worry about it anyway. [It's in the nature of "the investigation of the murder of my friend". But even so--] ...Thanks, Belph.
[There's a pause, as she thinks it over, and then she smiles, if a little weakly.]
Hey--this was my fault, okay? I picked the Middle Ages. I lost the watch. I got overconfident. [She's well aware that it was 100% her responsibility, and she accepts that.]
I guess it's only fitting that the worst operator ever would end up with the worst Time Negotiator ever too. [It's just...really wry humor at this point.
What else is she supposed to do?]
no subject
[Not when she died. Not when he's withholding information from her.]
Looks like Irina was right when she said mankind was doomed with us at the wheel.
[And distantly, he thinks, Sorry, pal, because Rexus was trusting him with the organization and with the safety of the Time Negotiators (of Elcia) and it really has all turned into a mess because of him.]
no subject
[And she'd do it again, too, even knowing all of that. But still... that much gets a soft laugh out of her, even as she shakes her head.]
It would've gone to her head if she heard you ever saying she was right.
[...so don't do that. It's too strange.]
Now come on, let's find a way out of this place. It's weird.
no subject
[Things aren't okay. There's no way things are okay, but... they can fake it for now.]
Affirmative. It's like we've been placed in a really bizarre game.
no subject
Don't act all innocent now. You argue all the time. Sometimes I think you argue just to argue, and not because you believe what you're saying.
[Sheesh.
So she'll just start walking, now that they're agreed. The entrance was....probably this way.]
no subject
[And he follows, even if his eyes can't help but occasionally drift to the blood on her dress.]
no subject
...it's so familiar and nostalgic it aches--but in a good way.]
You're as full of lies as ever. [Sheesh. And...yeah she needs a wardrobe change, doesn't she.]
All that work, too, and... now I'm not getting paid, since we ended up in a place like this.
[#elcia problems]
no subject
i'm making you move this one tbh
[well.
just telling it like it is.]
