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!!!


punchesyu: (OH NO WAY DO HE GOT THA BOOTY)

OH forgot to mention it's Susano-o, not Jiraiya

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-23 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Grasping his arm, where that thing had grabbed him and knocked him back, he looks up in pain to see if anything else was coming out of the shattering mirrors to attack them. But there's nothing, and he's confused. He's not totally buying it, that the monster is gone, but the small boy's voice cuts through his thoughts and he looks over, shocked.]

Yes, I was that- hey! That thing didn't hurt you did it? [Wait for it the fact that his persona is still out will hit him soon]

No disco ninja frog. woe.

[personal profile] arcanaofdeath 2015-03-23 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hurt himself and asking after others already. Pharos chuckles and shows Yosuke the palms of his hands as display that he hasn't been injured. Unexpectedly knocked around but not injured.

He's made of sterner stuff.]


Shouldn't you be more worried about yourself? [And his other self.]
punchesyu: (SRS TIEM)

i know :( i do like disco ninja frog

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-23 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll be fine, I've been hit a little harder than that. [Takes a look around again. Okay, no creepy monsters barreling at them right now.]

Did you see where that thing went?

disco ninja frog knows how to party.

[personal profile] arcanaofdeath 2015-03-24 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
I suspect it went back where it came from.

[Pharos isn't like others who are more sensitive to other peoples presences. But it would make sense to return to the original source and gather for another attack.

It's what he would do.

Idly, Pharos watches Susano-o. He's gotten familiar with several Personas thanks to Minato but this one he hasn't seen before.]
punchesyu: (cuuuuuz i suck)

damn right he does!

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, that's not really helpful. [Irritated, not really so much with Pharos but rather that it seems that the monster that attacked them is gone and he doesn't have any clue where it is.

Oh, what's he starting at...crap.]


Uh!!! Well, let's um, get going then! We should probably try to get out of here since it's dangerous...! [Yeah too late he can't even hide his persona now. Wow. Let's try to usher Pharos along! He's not going to dismiss Susano-o though, just in case something else comes back.]

[personal profile] arcanaofdeath 2015-03-24 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Someone is getting very flustered but Pharos plays along and lets Yosuke guide him elsewhere. Probably towards the exit. Or wherever Yosuke expects the exit to be. And Susano-o is floating along as well so Pharos keeps his eyes fixed on the persona.]

Is it more dangerous than what you usually do?

[Summoning Personas isn't something everyone is able to do after all.]
punchesyu: (whinnneeerrrrrr)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's now that he looks down at the kid. He faintly remembers him from that weird theater, even though the memories were fuzzy. But he feels like this is a development that he's not going to forget.]

Hey, kid, how do you...? [His eyes follow Pharos's to his persona, then back to the child.]

Do you know what that is?

[personal profile] arcanaofdeath 2015-03-24 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pharos stops walking and twines his fingers together behind his back, cocking his head to the side as he smiles. He's not going to make a secret out of knowing what a persona is. He does have questions for Yosuke as well after all.]

Your persona. An aspect of yourself. ...Perhaps calling it an aspect of your self might be more accurate, am I right?

[Finally, he tears his gaze away from Susano-o and looks at Yosuke instead.]

What's his name?
punchesyu: (iono explain again plz)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[The first question in his head is how. How does he know? He's never seen this kid in the TV before, never met him, and certainly never had to save his life. But yet, he nails it perfectly.]

Yeah, you're right....I.... [He's shell shocked, to say the least.]

It's Susano-o. He was Jiraiya for a while, but that's what he is now. How do you know about this kinda stuff?

[personal profile] arcanaofdeath 2015-03-24 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Was Jiraiya for a while. Evolved then, into something stronger. Yosuke must have grown as a person in order to accomplish this change and Pharos circles Susano-o. It's plain curiosity instead of looking for weak spots.

He wonders what Jiraiya looked like.

Coming to a stop next to Yosuke once more, Pharos stares at one of the many mirrors covering the walls before pointing at it.]


My friend knows how to summon them, too.

[It's a little white lie.]
punchesyu: (gasp that one person knows i looked)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[His eyes follow the boy, examining his persona, and continue to follow as he points to one of the mirrors. In the reflection, stood Yosuke- and then the reflections of the other mirrors too, giving the illusion of multiples of the three standing in the room of mirrors.

He wonders what that means, looking back to Pharos.]


He can summon a persona? Who's your friend, I might know him. [But surely, if Pharos knew, Yosuke would of been informed too that their secret was out, wouldn't he?]

[personal profile] arcanaofdeath 2015-03-24 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Personas. [A quiet, contemplative correction. It's what makes Minato so unusual in the eyes of the others and perhaps, if Yosuke has a connection, this information will help find Minato. ...Even though Pharos thought they'd never meet again.]

His name is Minato.

[There is clear affection in Pharos voice as he says his friend's name, tone warm. This person harbored him for ten years and allowed them to become friends.]

Do you know him?
punchesyu: (more serious talk ugh)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's why he pointed at the mirrors, he thinks to himself.]

No, sorry, I don't. There's only one person I know that can use more than one persona and it's not him. What'd you say your name was again? I know we've met but my memory is a little fuzzy. Maybe if I meet Minato, I can help you guys find each other again.

[personal profile] arcanaofdeath 2015-03-24 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[So Yosuke remembers that encounter as well. Pharos still wonders if Yosuke was so embarrassed to see him in the movie theater because he's in this form.

His answer makes Pharos' shoulders droop a little but he's soon back to smiling, appreciative of Yosuke's offer. He means well and Pharos really would like to see Minato again.]


If you wish to, you may call me Pharos. And your name was...? [Yosuke doesn't appear to be the only one struggling but Pharos raises his small, cold hand and offers it to Yosuke for a handshake. That's the polite thing to do, isn't it, even if Pharos looks troubled by the fact that he's unable to remember Yosuke's name.]
punchesyu: (thanks a lot man)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
That's kinda a weird name. Ah, I'm Yosuke, Youske Hanamura. [He laughs quietly, and takes the kid's hand.]

Jeez, do you get any blood flow to the rest of your body...? [Because dang cold hand.]

[personal profile] arcanaofdeath 2015-03-24 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[...There might be the tiniest of pouts on Pharos' face as Yosuke comments on his name before it disappears again. Pharos himself thought the name he picked was fine but it seems Yosuke disagrees.

Maybe he should have picked something more common?]


Probably not!

[It may sound like a joke to Yosuke and Pharos sounds cheerful enough about it that it might as well be a joke. But he is rather sure there's no such thing as blood flowing through his veins.]
punchesyu: (idk what to name this)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, we should get going. I don't know how far we are from the exit, but I think leaving is probably the safest bet before we end up being something's lunch.

[It sounds like a joke, and maybe Pharos remembered to put his sassy pants on today. Which is fine with him, he's a kid and it seems like a little kid thing to say. So Yosuke will gladly start to lead the three of them out, Susano-o floating right behind them. He remembers the weird specters in the mirrors before, and starts to key in on ones that he might catch a little movement in. No howling yet, though.]

Hey, Pharos, keep your eyes peeled on those mirrors. We saw those things before they attacked, so if something moves, let me know.
