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!!!


harepiece: (oh.....)

why o'clock!

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-23 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Considering Oz has both hands outstretched over the trash can already, it seems like his answer to that is a big fat nOPE.]

Oh— Well! I was going to for a while since I was curious, but... [But if there's one thing he's learned about amusement parks, it's that they sometimes murder you. OOPS.]

...It'd probably be best not to!
faithfulflame: (Priestess Small Grin)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-23 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oz certainly seems to have a flair for the dramatic. And that, at least, reminds her of a certain someone. Rei flashes an amused smirk his way before looking at her own package.]

You know, I’m still debating that myself. Everything in this place has seemed so strangely out of place.

[Still…]

I can’t help but wonder though. With all this technology around, maybe they actually did give me what I was thinking of. Which only makes me more curious...
harepiece: (it's been years)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-24 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
[It still seems like a DANGER WAITING TO HAPPEN--

So Oz drops his package into the garbage without further fanfare, and then turns on his heel to face Rei more fully.]


How about this? We can tie a string to the lid and then open it from a distance! That way, if anything weird is inside, we have enough room to get out of the way.

["We"... Apparently Oz has already decided he's lending a hand here.]
faithfulflame: (Rei Positive Thinking)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-24 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
That...I guess...could work.

[She casts around, willing to go along with it even though it seems silly.]

Do you have some string? Because I do not.
harepiece: (what a tweest!!)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-24 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
[HE DOESN'T if the way he starts patting his pockets is any indication...]

Hm... Maybe we could get a long stick and use that, instead? Like the one that cotton candy comes on! If we both eat one, we'll have two sticks and that should be long enough for a safe reach!

[Maybe he just wants to eat cotton candy, though. A MYSTERY.]
faithfulflame: (Rei Long Suffering Sigh)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-24 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cue a long suffering internal sigh. What has she gotten into, speaking to you? That’s exactly the sort of thing Usagi would say. Even now…]

I suppose. Or perhaps we could get balloons and use the string from that. I think I saw some vendors not far away?

[A little more sensible…]
harepiece: (trips out of a shoujo series)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-25 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
[HIS CRAFTY PLAN, DEFEATED... But Oz will just find another way to get them both some cotton candy.]

That works, too... [But where's the fun in it!!] All right! I'll go get one. Wait here a second, okay?

[AND OFF HE ZIPS. He'll be returning with a red balloon, since it had the longest ribbon he could find.]

Is this good?
faithfulflame: (Priestess Cute ?)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-25 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Just you wait Oz, she’ll go along if you ask nicely!]

Alright.

[And wait she does. She can be pretty patient, and she’s not going to be rude to someone who’s just clearly…a little bit excitable…by running off. When he returns, she nods simply and takes the balloon. Untying the ribbon she passes it over to him before pulling out a few bobby pins and attaching them like clips to the string, and skewering part of the parcel.

And to make sure it doesn’t just roll over when pulled, she sets her bag down on top. See? She has thought of everything. And Usagi’s probably made her do this before…]


Alright, we can stand over here and you can pull off the wrapping that way.
harepiece: (please let it be cake)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-26 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
[It's gonna happen it's definitely gonna happen.

But in the meantime, Oz is just looking very impressed by her opening-suspicious-packages-from-a-distance skills! Clearly someone here is a champ at doing things the long and somewhat sketchy way.]


Okay! Let's stand back as far as we can. [Scootin and scootin until the ribbon eventually runs out of room to scoot back with. Once he reaches that point, he glances over at Rei.]

Are you ready? I'm going to pull it on the count of three, okay?
faithfulflame: (Rei Greetings)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-26 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Alright, Rei can’t help but break into a small smile. This is really just a little bit ridiculous, and if it were any other day she wouldn’t be caught dead encouraging something so utterly absurd, but she’s just been attacked by robot santas with swords in a roller coaster.]

Alright. I’m ready whenever you are.

[She’s very deliberately standing clear, in case it explodes, but arduous and silly things like this are a little normal when you have to deal with Usagi. And Chibi-Usa, and Chibi-Chibi…and frankly most of her friends…]
