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.

Since you're a friend of Athena's, let me know if you need anything. But I'm not taking back the occasional idiot comment.

[He can only give so many concessions in pseudo-friendship.]
bewrightback: (too smug)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
It's no problem... I've had friends call me worse.

I do appreciate the offer, and I'll keep it in mind.

[personal profile] swordboning 2015-03-23 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
In the meantime, I do run something of a blacksmith shop, though I only take specific requests. Though I doubt you'll get any freebies there since my Master handles the financial end.
bewrightback: (please explain that one more time or 5)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
A blacksmith? That's good to know, but I don't think I have a need for those services at the moment...

[I'm not about to take up a sword and shield. And I don't think I need any spare keys.]
swordboning: (pic#8713748)

[personal profile] swordboning 2015-03-23 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't think so. You're probably still concerned about where you want to live once you get through here.
bewrightback: (thoughtful | thoughts might not be serio)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Er, well, yeah, that thought has been on my mind. I don't really know what it's like outside of this weird fair...

[personal profile] swordboning 2015-03-23 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
It's mostly a high tech city. Depending on the era you're from, it's oppressive high in technology or perhaps even just normal. There are a lot of knockoff places you might recognize, which would make things seem a little familiar.
bewrightback: (Default)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Any amount of tech seems high tech to me... [He's always been a dad when it comes to technology.]

How hard is it to get a roof over our heads?
swordboning: (saber pls)

[personal profile] swordboning 2015-03-23 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Pick an empty place and move in. You'll register it electronically and that's it. Money will be withdrawn from your account monthly.
bewrightback: (thinking about a puzzle)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
...Really? It's as simple as that?

[The real estate market could learn a thing or two from these people.]
swordboning: (idiots 'r' u)

[personal profile] swordboning 2015-03-23 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Welcome to the world of modern technology. I let my Master handle all of that but I somehow doubt we're paying a dime for rent.
bewrightback: (call me call me)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
That good with money, huh? Well I did get some job offers, and my daughter's got a good head for business, so I think we'll be just fine.
swordboning: (pic#8713748)

[personal profile] swordboning 2015-03-23 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
The jobs aren't too bad, except for the ones that are offered to deliberately insult you. I'm working three jobs myself so if I can do that, one is possible for anyone.
bewrightback: (Default)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-24 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
My jobs were a bit... oddly specific. But I think that I can manage two of them. And I'll see what I can do about keeping the Agency running.
swordboning: (pic#8713748)

[personal profile] swordboning 2015-03-24 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Take my word for it when I say that there's a lack of defense attorneys here.
bewrightback: (kind of a dork)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-24 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Maybe I can actually get reasonable pay here without competition! And I'm sure there's plenty of people here who will need defending...

[personal profile] swordboning 2015-03-24 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Just be warned that your pal has a student that is a stubborn idiot.
bewrightback: (might be onto something)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-24 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
I've met with people associated with him in the past who are some combination of stubborn and not very bright. I don't think this will be very different.
swordboning: (pic#8713736)

[personal profile] swordboning 2015-03-24 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
Good luck either way. Need anything else answered while you have me?
bewrightback: (too smug)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-24 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Not that I can think of, at the moment.

But I do appreciate you being a friend for Athena. ...Or if you don't consider yourself that, than thanks for giving her a project to distract herself with. [It doesn't seem like many people from their world have been around, so she must have needed something like that.]
swordboning: (saber pls)

[personal profile] swordboning 2015-03-24 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Just shrugging and shaking his head.]

Don't waste your breath. I might be willing to help you but I won't accept misplaced kindness.
bewrightback: (you're not alone)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-24 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Your Edgeworth is showing again, sir.]

My apologies. I guess I'll have to find somewhere else to place it.
