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!!!

[Flourish..... She wonders idly if maybe the healing managed to boost his stamina that much? It normally helps a person feel better in general, so perhaps that's it. Or maybe this is just his personality. Regardless, she merely laughs faintly and shakes her head.]

It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Yogi. But you don't need to worry about anything like that. I'm happy to help. This can all be rather... confusing.

[And she actually looks around a bit at all the lights and rides and attractions-] Are you familiar with this type of celebration? Is it normally so full of.... problems?

[Confusing is one way of putting it. He smiles, blinking back the tears that are threatening to fall; the mingled happiness at meeting someone so kind and the bewilderment of everything else going on is a lot to handle for him right now. He does at least smile for a moment thinking about the way a festival like this is supposed to feel.]

Eh, we do have things like this back home-- Circus always puts on a really amazing show! But never like these, with all these bad things happening, no. This sort of festival is supposed to be happy and a place where everyone can have fun and relax.

[He frowns at an angry little snowman robot aggressively hopping by.]

Honestly, this whole celebration just feels twisted around all wrong.
poised: (✰ are you sure it's ok to be that dumb)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-24 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Goodness gracious sir, please don't cry!! Though she seems to nod in understanding when he says 'circus'. They do have those in her world, though admittedly not with quite this much.... machinery. So she hums thoughtfully then before frowning and shaking her head.]

I'm sorry to hear that.... alas, it is the tendency of those who are in charge here. I'm sure that this celebration and even this supposed holiday are likely quite quaint, if it weren't for the fact that everything is going wrong....

[Actually now that she thinks of it, she looks around.]

Do you see any attendants for this "funhouse" nearby? If it's as dangerous as you say, I would rather see it closed before anyone wanders in unaware.
sugarcoats: (084)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-25 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
[He's managing not to cry, but he does get a more serious look on his face as he ponders what kind of people could enjoy setting up a festival like this. Circus might not exist here except for him, but it was still terrible to subject people to being scared or hurt in a twisted version of the type of shows they put on.]

There really is supposed to be a much better atmosphere here, I'm sure of it.

I saw one attendant, but it was like he didn't even care about how dangerous it was when it got dark. I mean, once he fixed the lights, it was like nothing had even happened in there. No broken glass, nothing. I wonder if they'd even believe anything was really wrong in there? It would be worth a shot, at least.
poised: (✰ status images are important)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-25 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm.....

[Natalia just shakes her head at that, expression becoming one of fierce determination. Nope, there are possibly people in danger and she won't stand for it.]

No matter. It's clear that this poses a danger to people and it's not acceptable for it to remain open. [And she immediately turns to try to find the entrance of it, calling over her shoulder-] Are you coming, Yogi?

[headstrong princess may need to calm down]
sugarcoats: (Default)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-03-26 03:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yogi agrees that keeping this attraction, or any of them, really, is a bad idea. The quick change catches him off guard, and he blinks, trotting closer. Even here, he can't avoid running into headstrong people. She doesn't look like she's interested in slowing down, either.]

I-- yes? I'm coming! Wait, what exactly are you planning on doing?

[If she's going to do something, he can't just let her do it alone, so he figures it's for the best to stick with her, just in case. He really does want to see the ride shut down, so he wants to help in whatever way he can, anyway.]
