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.

[Unfortunately for her, she doesn't know that. For all intents and purposes, Kaneki has suddenly turned into a vaguely familiar stranger right in front of her. After all, her last memory is of him grimacing at an unconscious Banjou. While it had been his handywork, the idiot had still been shocked. A very Kaneki thing to do; to be surprised over the results of all their training.

Something about the way he says that apology... ticks her off. A lot. But she bites her cheek and makes an effort to keep things civil. Stay calm, idiot. Inhale and exhale. She doesn't want to turn this sorry excuse of a reunion into a fist fight. Not now, anyway. It'd be so much better if she could figure this out without losing her temper and beating the hell out of him.

She grunts.]


So it seems. [And then she's gesturing with her head towards the direction of the exit.] Let's get the hell out of here. I can't stand those stupid reindeer.

[ The time will eventually come when it's brought to the surface about how she remembers him and why he's such a different person by contrast; someone who almost forgets what it's like to smile some days. Driven by little more than want to get stronger to protect his precious people, even if it does seem selfish by most people's general standards.

If, for what it counts, she knew he was at least attempting to not be infuriating then the chances she wouldn't possibly hit him would be lessened, hopefully.

For now, he just nods and takes a few steps forwards in that direction while looking back at her casually. He had no idea what she remembered him to be like before, and he wouldn't say anything until she did, unlike his old self which might have apologized for acting weird and wanting to get out of this place quicker than most would have. ]


Me neither. I don't think i've really ever heard something quite so grating on the ears before.

[ There's so much Kaneki would like to say as well but he refrains from it, staying quiet despite the thoughts on his mind at the moment. ]

[All the discrepancies are starting to give her a headache, but she forces herself to power through them as she follows him in that direction. She doubts getting out of this place will improve her mood at all, but it's worth a shot. Whatever annoying Holiday song the reindeer are singing serves as shoddy background music to this scene, anyway. She would rather prefer to be somewhere more open and lacking CERES's obvious handywork, but anywhere outside the funhouse will have to do.

She isn't sure how to respond to that—so she doesn't. Discussing how annoying something is isn't a conversation she expects to have with him. With Nishiki maybe, but it's inevitable that every conversation with that guy ends up revolving around some annoying subject or another. Still, it's obvious she's mulling about something for a few seconds there, before she pipes up with:]


Hey... That guy... Banjou, was it? What happened with him?

[ Even without looking at her, Kaneki's more than a little aware something's on her mind and as such, he isn't about to say anything until it's said. Getting out of here was the first priority but he was still listening to her, even looking over his shoulder at her briefly as his gaze turned to what was in front of them as they moved closer to the exit of the funhouse.

Since arriving here his thoughts and memories have been fuzzy and all scrambled about so the exact details aren't where they should be, but what was more important was the idea that she seemed to truly not know what happened to Banjou. ]


...You don't remember, Touka?

[ A beat. He's somewhat reluctant to continue with this because if his instincts are right then this might come as a surprise to her. ]

After the Aogiri incident... I took him, Tsukiyama and a few others to make a team. He was someone who helped me keep my... peace of mind and brought me back to myself again. It was only after that raid on Kanou's lab did we separate, so i'm not entirely sure what happened to him after that.
