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.

journaler: (✿ i'm dancing right beside you)

[personal profile] journaler 2015-03-23 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [She remembers the way they ushered people onto the bus...] I don't really like the mirrors, either. They make me look weird.

[She glances over to one, like she's afraid to look at it directly.

For good reason, too: suddenly, an image of a monster flashes like a projection, and she jumps, abruptly turning away. Her eyes fall on Elcia, waiting to see if she has a reaction... or maybe she just imagined it.

She kind of hopes she did, honestly.]
compossible: (You Cannot Change The Future)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Elcia has given no indication of having seen a terrifying, horrifying monster, so maybe Leia really did just imagine it...?

She walks a few more paces without any hesitation or problem, and then she meets Leia's eyes, and--]


I've never seen a monster like that. How about you?

[Oh, so she's just not bothered by monsters. right.]
journaler: (✿ there's nothing wrong)

[personal profile] journaler 2015-03-23 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
[SHE WASN'T EXPECTING IT OKAY... though Elcia's carefree attitude regarding the monster actually helps her, and she eases a little. After all, she's fought monsters, too, hasn't she?]

No. Nothing like that.

[Only cutesy plants and wolves and boars and stuff.

Also dragons.]


I guess they're trapped?
compossible: (You Already Changed The Past)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[... She's had some interesting experiences lately, even if she can't actually fight even cutesy plants and wolves and stuff.]

...Or they aren't there at all.

[Could be anything, really--she's not attuned enough to be able to tell at this point.

Either way--]


It doesn't seem like it can hurt us, so it's probably fine. [Probably.] And if not, I'll get behind you as fast as I can!
journaler: (✿ i had this dream about you)

[personal profile] journaler 2015-03-23 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
[MUCH TOUGH, VERY BRAVE, WOW... but that gets a laugh out of Leia, who certainly doesn't seem to mind a potential chance to show off.

That monster, though... it looked way more hellish and blood-thirsty than anything she fought back home.]


No sweat. I... I can fight them off!

[yeah.]

The exit's gotta be somewhere, so we'll just have to keep going.
compossible: (Time Master)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Then I'll be counting on you! [Because she doesn't want to die and she doesn't fancy her chances against a giant monster.

But right okay.

Exit.]


I assume if we keep following this path, we'll get there eventually. The building wasn't that big from the outside.
journaler: (✿ last night)

[personal profile] journaler 2015-03-24 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Leia nods. Turning back is pretty much a non-option now, though she still looks longingly over her shoulder at times--only to be met with confusing mirrors and odd twists and turns.

Even the footprints they leave and the trail of blood from Elcia don't help, with all the distortions and the poor lighting.]


Hopefully it's as straightforward as that.

[...]

My name's Leia, by the way... what should I call you?
compossible: (Narnia Time)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-24 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah...sorry about all of that blood. Whoops.]

Elcia. [A smile, cheerful and friendly.] It's nice to meet you, Leia. Do you come here often?

[to this creepy amusement park...]
journaler: (✿ last night)

[personal profile] journaler 2015-03-25 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[was that supposed to be a come on......

no jk leia's head is way too up in the clouds to interpret it like that; but nevertheless, elcia's smile is contagious. despite the less than ideal circumstances...]


Not at all, actually. [Honesty: she does it best.] I feel like I've probably seen enough as it is.
compossible: (Ripple Effect Proof Memory)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-25 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[naturally.

no, it was more an attempt to figure out what sort of person Leia is...which she makes pretty clear as she follows up with obvious relief--]


Oh, good. I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep company with someone who likes this sort of creepy place.
