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.

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-23 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Would there be any place that Teruteru would spend his money on, though... Hinata looks down at the funnel cake... and then he sort of wraps it up. He'll keep it for later.

No sense wasting food!

Especially since Teruteru's talking about trying more...]
Is it just going to be me trying them again...?

bozu: (Soak 8 wooden skewers)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Only at first! Just until we find something I like.

[... That sounds like they'll be doing this with quite a few different stalls, doesn't it -]

There was an ice cream stand, too - but it might be a bit too chilly for that, maybe?
Of course, we could always do something physical and exciting to warm up afterward, hmhmhm!

Or we could go try to find the best candy apples in the park!
We'd have to hold them for a bit to soften the candy shell, of course, but it'd be worth it in the end!
particularity: (m ✣ that'll be enough)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-23 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[Until they find something he likes... That could take a while. And by that time, Hinata doubts he'll be able to really enjoy whatever Teruteru likes.]

Hey, Hanamura...

Let's just go find a random candy apple stall and both give it a try. No watching how they do it this time, no me testing it first, just getting one and eating it. [What is he saying, no just give him a second--] Even though the atmosphere's one thing, something's the most delicious at carnivals when you get to eat it with someone else.

What d'you think?
bozu: (well if you ask me...)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
... Hm?

[What is Hinata saying all of a sudden, talking like he'll just eat any old thing - oh. Well.
He actually looks like he has to consider this for a second.]


... You know, when you're right, you're right. That's really when food at a carnival tastes the best; when you're eating with a friend!
So - lead the way! I'll be happy to share one with you!

[Yes, now they're sharing a candy apple, whether or not that was Hinata's intention.]
particularity: (m ✣ but even if just once)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-23 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Share one with you isn't exactly what I meant... Don't make this into a Thing, Teruteru...

Life decisions aside, Hinata looks pleased enough, moving to lead the way. He's going to pick something at random (except with a quick, scrutinising glance to make sure the stall isn't shady as hell) and head there.]
All right, just leave it to me, I'll go get them.

[That way he can also buy two ha]
bozu: (so i remembered the mangas exist)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-23 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Everything is a Thing though!!

But he'll stick right next to Hinata, even when he's going up to order. Because he's not gonna stand by himself while Hinata orders, c'mon.]


You'll pick good toppings, right? Like nuts, or sprinkles!
particularity: (m ✣ on the shelf)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
[But it doesn't need to be!! And ah here's Teruteru company he... expected no less, honestly.]

I will. [A smile.] I'll go less plain this time.
bozu: (admiring the view :9)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-24 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
[If everything wasn't a Thing then it'd just be an every!!

At least he's not randomly clingy or something though, right? He's even returning that smile with a satisfied one of his own.
Be adventurous with food, Hinata!!]


Of course... you don't have to go with anything too fancy.
The appeal of a candy apple is the apple itself, after all; too many toppings would take away from the fruit and its coating!
particularity: (m ✣ dance all night)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 02:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's nothing wrong with an every!!]

I'll probably just get the one topping, then-- Not too plain, not too fancy. [And nuts are fine, so he'll put in an order for those.]

Let's wait over here, Hanamura.
bozu: (squints)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-24 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Everything is wrong with an every!!!!]

... Well, alright. I did agree to let them work in peace... [But if it ends up being nasty, Hinata's going to get stuck with two candy apples!!

If there's somewhere to sit nearby, though, you can bet he's taking it.]


While we wait...
Can I ask what you've been doing, here? They offered jobs to you too, right?
particularity: (m ✣ cause i'm breaking)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hinata will take a seat nearby and gosh Hanamura trust his OP SHSL skills which also include luck that you don't know about and he's not tellin]

Me? Well, I didn't take any of the jobs they offered at first...

But, I've been working as an assistant teacher at the school. Before that, I was working in their medical center for a while. [--] Do you know what you're going to be doing?
Edited 2015-03-24 15:04 (UTC)
bozu: (Soak 8 wooden skewers)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-24 03:11 pm (UTC)(link)
A teacher, huh... Somehow, that really fits you.
Maybe it's because you're good with words and seem like you wouldn't mind being underpaid?

[shsl backhanded compliment master]

As for me, though - I'll be working the in-house restaurant at a high class hotel, of course!
A high class love hotel, actually. I hope there's an employee discount for rooms, now that I'm thinking about it...

[Considering, considering - and, oh, he looks like he remembered something -]

Ah, and a friend I've made here encouraged me to try for the cook's position at her cosplay cafe!
I couldn't say no to such a cute girl, of course.

[rip peko 2k15]
particularity: (m ✣ i hope that you like it)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[Hahhhhhhh why are all of his friends so awful at compliments.]

A-- a love hotel... huh... [Why would CERES fulfill all of his dreams like that? No, it should probably be fine. Maybe. And, if he knew about Peko's job he'd try to dissuade Teruteru from the cosplay cafe right here but.

Since he doesn't.

rip peko]


You'll be all right with taking two jobs?
bozu: (and then you get this cute one)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-24 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's because they love Hinata so much, obviously.

At that question, though, he kinda... fiddles with his handkerchief.]


Well - it may sound difficult, but a big-city chef like myself can handle that much work, right?
It's simple for someone like me!

... And, anyway, I'm not sure I'd be comfortable here if I wasn't working my hardest.

[He was always helping his mom at the diner, on top of everything he did to keep it open... cooking all day is just what he's used to.]
particularity: (m ✣ you never did nothin)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hinata watches him... Since he has a propensity to overwork, it's hypocritical to give any advice about resting because hahaha he's so bad at it. At least Komaeda's around to make sure he does.]

...I get it. [Hinata too is far more used to doing as much as he can these days.] It feels strange if you end up with a lot of free time, like you're not doing enough somehow.

Just make sure to take some time for yourself.
Edited 2015-03-24 15:37 (UTC)
bozu: (And jalapeños onto skewers)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-24 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course! Overworking doesn't suit an attractive city dweller like me, after all.
I'll set aside plenty of "me time"!

And maybe "us time", when our schedules coincide.

[Yep, right back into it.
It's much easier than talking about hard work and thinking about the diner and stuff, after all.]
particularity: look at this fuckin nerd (m ✣ DWEEB)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yes, of course it doesn't...

But don't say "us time" like that... Hinata's used to it by now thankfully so he can just GLOSS ON OVER IT but still.]


...Sure. I'm usually free after classes are done for the week, and over the weekends.
bozu: (well if you ask me...)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-24 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Weekends, hm - staying over the weekend at Hinata-kun's place...
It's probably a nice, cozy, studio apartment, right?

[translation: "i can see you living somewhere small and cheap but its okay because its yours"]

We'll have to make arrangements for something like that! I could make a dinner that fits the occasion, and we could stay up watching movies together...!
Among other things, of course!
particularity: (s ✣ we name every cape)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[That'd be great and all (except for quite a few things) but there's just one thing that you should know, Teruteru--]

Actually, I'm living in an apartment with Komaeda, so...
bozu: (look at his cute face)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-24 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[That actually gets Teruteru to go quiet for a moment, and he looks down at the ground in front of the bench in thought...]

...

Maybe you should come over to place, then. When I find one.

[Sorry, Hinata - he trusts you and he likes you and he wants to hang out with you as much as he can!! But not if Komaeda's involved...
It's gonna take Teruteru some time to even feel safe around him.]
particularity: (m ✣ out of the gravity)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well. That reaction isn't a surprise.

He doesn't expect any of them to be okay with Komaeda right now. These things take time and effort on all their parts... Hinata's had a good year and a half more than anyone else.

Still, it makes him feel heavy... and he thinks about Nanami and Sonia, wonders if they'll ever come here.]


Yeah, I can come over and visit sometime. I probably wouldn't stay a night, though.
bozu: (and then you get this cute one)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-24 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
E-eh? Why not? I'd make sure it was comfortable for you...!
And of course, you'd get breakfast in bed in the morning!

Only the best for my best friend, after all!

[This is a good change to the topic at hand, definitely - he'd much rather talk about treating Hinata to good food than... well, y'know.

Even though he still looks kind of uneasy. Why would Hinata choose to live with Komaeda, of all people...?]
particularity: (m ✣ that'll be enough)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
No, well... it's kind of embarrassing to say, but I don't really sleep easily...

[Outside of his own place, at least, because he's used to it by now. It's not even that he doesn't want to, shockingly... He'd rather not freak Teruteru out, either, by his inability to sleep or startling awake.]

Though I appreciate the thought.
Edited 2015-03-24 18:02 (UTC)
bozu: (For 10 minutes)

[personal profile] bozu 2015-03-24 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I see... you're the kind of person who's uncomfortable in someone else's bed! I understand, don't worry.
No sleepovers, then.

But plenty of other things, right?

[Yes, he was planning on sharing a bed with Hinata. But is that even a surprise at this point...]
particularity: (s ✣ is we can't move closer)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-24 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[DODGED A BULLET...]

A-- Aa, sure. Within reason. [WITHIN REASON. But he looks up and.] Looks like they're done. Hang on, Hanamura.

[Waving his hand, Hinata will go and fetch them their apples before returning.]
