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!!!


faithfulflame: (Rei Not Understanding)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-24 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Her eyes sweep from side to side nervously. She knows she can't transform in the car, not safely for him. Which means relying entirely on her own spiritual abilities, and as shaken as she is from the journey here...she's not too confident. A white knuckled hand reaches into her bag, and paper rustles as she fishes out an o-fuda before she answers.]

It shouldn't ever run out. It has one of those special batteries.

[She's not going to explain that it's a 5,000,000 year old artifact from a lost kingdom on the moon.]

It'll last for...[And as the word "ever" is about to come out the light dies.]...ever...
punchesyu: (nooooooo!)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[All his hopes fall as the light goes out on watch. And it's then that he hears a faint hiss...]

That's not forever!

[HE WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT]
faithfulflame: (Rei Hurting)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-24 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[She shivers and smacks the communicator, trying to jolt it back to functionality but the artifact is having none of it. Rei spins in place, fingers held up in a warding gesture towards where she feels the hissing sound is coming. A faint blue light emanates from the paper in her hands as well, the magical scroll stiffening.]

Show yourself, Spirit!

[But Yosuke might note an obvious quaver in her voice. She's afraid now, truly afraid. That breathing sound is rising in pitch, growing faster and faster, hotter and hotter...]

I command you!
punchesyu: (ANOTHER GIRL?)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay, she's some sort of priest, he is totally okay with that right about now because he is about to die and anything ANYTHING is welcome to save their hides.]

[All he can do is shake in terror because there honestly isn't a thing he can do but pray. And whine. In fear.]

D-D-D-Duuuuuude-!
faithfulflame: (Rei Whoa!)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-24 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
[The breathing intensifies, and a heated breath seems to hit Rei full in the face, blowing the o-fuda scroll away. In her surprise, she falls back, landing with a flump on Yosuke's lap.]

A-Ahhhhhh! W-What?!
punchesyu: (What do you MEAN the food's not edible?!)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
[If only he wasn't so scared.]

What happened?! Is there something there? [He even scootches back a little farther up against the wall in the seat, trying to put distance between whatever freaked her out and themselves.]
faithfulflame: (Rei Evil? Where?)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-24 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
[She presses further back herself, scrunching against him.]

It...it knocked away my scroll! It shouldn't be able to do that!
punchesyu: (man i don't even know what to name this)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
No kidding, considering you were packing some kinda weird power there! [IF ONLY HE WEREN'T SO SCARED RIGHT NOW]

[He's even holding her tightly against him, not even being a pervert, but seriously just trying to keep distance away. The hiss grows louder and seems to be getting closer and closer.]

We're gunna die! This is it! I'm too young to die, I just got here, someone get us out of here please-!!!!!!!
faithfulflame: (Rei Noticing)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-24 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[The louder hissing draws Rei up short and she reflexively turns he back to the sound, one arm wrapping around Yosuke's head protectively. She shakes, her free hand worming it's way into her jacket for the Mars Crystal. She'd have to chance it, just so that they could get away...

But fear numbs her fingers, the crystal slipping out of her grasp within and her grip tightens on him. Wordlessly, she curses and snarls angrily, grabbing the crystal. But too late...the voices are on top of them, reaching a horrible crescendo! An icy feeling trickles down Rei's back, making her shiver and press closer to him to get away from it...]


punchesyu: (MIGRAINES SUCK)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-24 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yosuke is shaking like a leaf, eyes closed tightly despite the fact that he can't see a thing. He's accepted his death, they'd both go here. This was the end and he didn't think that he'd get to experience death so soon in his life. Even though apparently he'd died once already when his universe was destroyed, but hey, he gets to do it again now. He's clinging to Rei, face pressed up against her own now as he awaits his fate.

That is, until the power comes back and the lights snap on. Little whimpers can still be heard as he hasn't quite noticed this development.

Why isn't he dead yet?]
faithfulflame: (Rei Dubious)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-24 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rei isn’t quite shaking that badly, but her entire body is flush against his as she tries to keep Yosuke under her. That’s just what a soldier would do, protect the civilian until she could fight and kill the aggressor, and apologize for the burn scars later. But when she finally gets the transformation crystal out of her pocket, she notices the change in the spiritual pressure in the car. The lights flicker back on, and she looks up, eyes darting to and fro in an understandably wary manner.

And when she’s certain that the spirit is gone, she heaves a long, heavy sigh and looks down at Yosuke. He looked so…pathetic, under her, his face all screwed up in fear. What a weakling, and nevermind that her heart was still hammering in her chest. And the sounds he was making were just…pitiable. The closeness was almost enough to make her angry…but then, rationally…she couldn’t fault him, she knew better than that. She’d jumped on him, or been knocked on him.

Not that she’d ever admit that it was anything other than being hit. Ever.

Slowly, she releases her hold on him and tries to get up, but he’s still clinging…]


You…can let go now.
punchesyu: (i didn't mean the finger to mean THAT)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-25 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
[His eyes snap open, and with the revelation that the lights are on and there's nothing trying to kill them, he relaxes and his grip on her loosens.]

Are we alive? Like, I'm not dreaming am I? [To check, he pinches himself.]

Owwww. Yep. This is real. [He sighs and sinks in the seat.]

I just wanna go home now.
faithfulflame: (Rei Kimono Pensive)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-25 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[With a tired sigh, Rei stands up and brushes herself off, looking at Yosuke for a long moment while he goes through the motions. She's been in enough life and death situations that she's not having that much difficulty stilling her thoughts, but she is actually concerned for him. The general sense of panic, and that...gnawing despair...neither of those are good things to feel in another person.]

Me as well. I don't know what that was, but...it was nasty.

[She stoops to pick up her dropped scroll and looks it over before pocketing it again.]

You're not hurt, are you? You look a little worse for wear.
punchesyu: (HAHA YEAH THAT WASN'T FUNNY.)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-25 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, you know, I'm just fine! [He definitely doesn't sound serious, but even now he's checking the car. Looking for anything suspicious, just in case something still tries to come out and eat them or something.]

I don't see anything, what the hell was that anyway...
faithfulflame: (Rei Collecting Herself)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-25 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Probably a poltergeist honestly. [Rei takes a seat across the way from him, closing her eyes and leaning back.]

A strong one. But it's gone. The lights are back and we're moving again. Nothing to worry about anymore.
punchesyu: (Spacecase that's not a hobby!)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-26 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[That makes him look even more nervous.]

Yeah, until it goes black again and we get stuck in this freaky thing! I don't want to get possessed by some ghost!
faithfulflame: (Rei Scowl)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-26 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Rei frowns at the statement and reaches into her bag, pulling out a bit of charcoal.]

Hold still then.
punchesyu: (idk what to name this)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-26 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Sure... [He eyes the charcoal.]

What are you gunna do with that? [But he holds still.]
faithfulflame: (Rei Bored)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-26 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
A symbol of protection.

[She bends down and draws a mark on his forehead. Then, with a whisper of something unintelligible to untrained ears, she nods.]

That should keep your head safe.
punchesyu: (yeeeep)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-03-26 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
[He moves his hand as if he's going to touch the mark she's put there, but thinks better of it since it's obviously a ward.]

So I'm guessing you're a priest or something. [He did see the warding paper and how she was going to try to seal the thing earlier.] Thanks, you know. For that. [The ward. And the whole trying to protect him thing. He feels like a wuss, but a thank you is definitely appropriate here.]
Edited 2015-03-26 02:01 (UTC)
faithfulflame: (Rei Gentle)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-26 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
I am. From Hikawa Shrine, in Akasaka.

[She sits back and pockets the charcoal, giving him a small smile.]

And it's fine. It's my job, isn't it?
