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!!!

[Look, she's just calling it like it is--but she shakes her head again at that, rather simply.

It is an awful lot of blood, of course. About the amount of blood that you'd expect from someone who died bleeding out from a stab wound. But. You know.

Them's the breaks.]


I'm really fine, honest. It seems like our benevolent sci-fi overlords patched me up but couldn't be bothered to give me a new wardrobe at the same time.

That's kind of lazy, don't you think?
poised: (✰ shove an arrow up yours)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-23 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
More than lazy, it's irresponsible and alarming. But there are certainly more than enough adjectives that can be spared for their incompetence.

[So casually as if her words aren't sharp and cutting. Still though, she shakes her head.]

Then at the very least, I'm relieved that you aren't too gravely injured or inconvenienced. I apologize for neglecting to introduce myself - my name is Natalia.
compossible: (Time Master)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
[....Ah. That's a nice response. It gets a grin out of Elcia, at least.]

I wouldn't be opposed to hearing more of those adjectives someday from you. I get the feeling it'd be a worthwhile use of my time.

[There's something about listening to Natalia talk that makes Elcia think she could be really scathing if she wanted to be.

but right. injuries. introductions.]


I'm Elcia. Nice to meet you, Natalia. I think I can forgive you for looking after my health first and introducing yourself second, somehow.
poised: (✰ trust me i'm a princess)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-23 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . . . how does something like that manage to get a grin out of her. Still though, Natalia can appreciate it that much. So she shakes her head in amusement.]

Perhaps someday, then. Someone will have to tell you of the failings of CERES sooner or later.

[Natalia will happily be that someone!]

The pleasure is mine, Elcia.... but come now, you're right in that they were rude to not provide you with alternative dresses. Do you think we're the same size? I can lend you one of mine.
compossible: (Reluctant Mad Scientist)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll look forward to hearing about our incompetent malevolent overlords.

[She says that so nonchalantly too...ah well. It's something, at least, and she'll get to hear it from someone eloquent and clearly righteous about it, which will make it more fun.

Being lent one of Natalia's dresses, though...]


I'm not opposed, necessarily, but do you think they'll let us leave that easily? They were pretty pushy about getting us all in here. I'd hate to cause trouble.

[that is a fat, bloody lie.]
poised: (✰ i'm kind of a big deal)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-23 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[That much manages to earn a wave of Natalia's hand. Elcia, please.]

As if I'm concerned about what might cause them trouble when half of these rides are death traps in their own right. The more people leave, the better, I imagine.
compossible: (Ripple Effect Proof Memory)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-23 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I won't argue with that.

[It's a weird place and she doesn't like it much, and admittedly she's still a little thrown from the whole "oh no i'm so dead oh wait surprise i'm alive" thing.

It gets to a person, you know?]


Let's ditch this place. [Lead the way or-- or she'll just start walking towards the exit, that works too.]
poised: (✰ the black lion is whose father now?)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-23 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[They can both start walking toward the exit easily then, matching strides like the badass ladies they are.

Though Natalia is still curious-]


By the by, you didn't answer my earlier inquiry. Did you come from a battle....?
compossible: (Terminator Twosome)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-24 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's perfect, everyone will get out of their way this way.

But right. Blood. Stab wounds. Hm.]


Oh, no. It was more of a Situation than anything. [She got stabbed by guards sent by a man who wanted to use her as a babymaking machine, it was very traumatizing!!!

Not that she looks very traumatized.]


I'm not really a very violent person. [ha] I don't think I'd ever be in the middle of a battle. [well, that's more true.]
poised: (✰ okay but can u not do the thing)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-24 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
A... Situation?

[You're going to have to forgive her. She heard the capital letter in that but at the same time, it's hard to imagine a situation that can lead to this much of one person's blood staining their clothes. It almost looks like it could've been fatal....]

Then it was... [Something just as violent as a battle but not as evenly-matched?!] Oh goodness!
compossible: (Set Right What Once Went Wrong)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-25 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's pretty much exactly right, but all Elcia hears is "oh goodness". She pauses and then makes a face.]

Whatever you're thinking, it's probably enough off the mark. Don't worry about it.

[Seriously...]

This isn't even the same timeline or world, so I'm not in any danger here.
poised: (✰ are you sure it's ok to be that dumb)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-25 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I will continue to worry about it, thank you very much.

[Since Natalia can't imagine any other situation that would've gotten this much blood on a dress, jeeze.]

But well... You may want to be careful before you insist that you're not in any danger.
compossible: (Time Master)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-25 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
...Suit yourself.

[She doesn't get it, really, but...you do you, Natalia. Most people back home don't worry about strangers. Ever.]

Well, I have you here, don't I?

[so now she's definitely not in any danger.]

You come across as the sort of person who can handle herself in a fight.
poised: (✰ status images are important)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-26 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Too bad, she's worrying about a stranger. You'll probably get more questions later, Elcia-- but right now she's actually seeming rather gratified at the compliment.]

Do I? Well, I'm certainly not defenseless.

Does that mean that you don't have any combat experience, Elcia?
compossible: (Giving Radio To The Romans)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-27 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
[carrying on over here!]
