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.

masakados: (i can't load my secret code)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-24 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah, that familiar name.] Worse?

[Naoki thinks about that, but then he shakes his head and with the utmost certainty (that might come as a surprise):] No way, Yang's way worse than me.

[HE'LL LET UP, she won't, try imagining if she caught you, Jaune.]
beaconed: (pic#8879227)

[personal profile] beaconed 2015-03-24 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ Let’s hope she DOES find out, because everyone should be grilling Jaune about this! However, he did not expect this stranger to know Yang, so here’s a perfect segway to move on from the subject of virginity. Maybe. ]

Oh, great, you two are partners-in-crime, why am I not surprised? –But wait a second, d-does that mean Yang made it here, too?

[ Despite everything, he does worry about team RWBY almost as much as he does about his own group. They’re pretty tight friends, after all. ]
masakados: (is pressing down on my back)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-24 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know if I'd call us partners-in-crime, but we're friends. [Because if they were partners-in-crime, he thinks he would be exempt from her teasing but he's not at all. In the least.

He's watching Jaune thoughtfully.]


She's been here for a little while, along with Blake and Ruby.
beaconed: (033)

[personal profile] beaconed 2015-03-24 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ He’s really glad to hear the good news, and makes a mental note to contact them as soon as possible. ]

That’s a relief… when I got told about what happened to our—w-wait, just them three? What about… do you know if there’s a girl called Weiss around here? She’s someone else from our world, and a part of Ruby’s team.
masakados: (with a laugh)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-24 12:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Weiss is— well, she wasn't here up until now, but it seems like she's here now...

[He glances around the amusement park before looking back at Jaune, gesturing with one of his hands.] I ran into her earlier, so you'll probably find her too if you look around.
beaconed: (027)

[personal profile] beaconed 2015-03-24 01:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The relief he feels can't hide a hint of a smile. There's a lot he doesn't understand about this world, like how Ruby and the others could have been here for a longer period than Weiss, Pyrrha or himself, but for now he's just consoled by the fact that she's okay. He just needs to figure out if Nora and Ren made it now, too... ]

--ah, t-that's okay, I'm sure I'll eventually run into her and the others... [ He looks deep in thought for a brief moment, but quickly snaps out of it in an attempt to steer away from the topic. ]

So. [ He rubs his hands. ] Did Yang tell any cool stories about me~?
masakados: (what should be done with)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-24 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cool stories...]

Well... first, what's your name? [...] You wouldn't happen to be Jaune, would you?

[Since that's the only guy he's heard about so far from Yang. And if you are, the only story that Naoki's heard is how you tried to ask Weiss out by serenading her. Respect, man. That takes guts.]
beaconed: (061)

[personal profile] beaconed 2015-03-24 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, Yang... old buddy, old pal... ]

Huh? Ah!! Right! The man himself! Yeah, Jaune. Jaune Arc! I'm kind-- wait, hold the phone, she did brag about me, didn't she?
masakados: (even though i’ve realized the truth)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-24 01:34 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[Naoki doesn't even need to say it aloud, there's a great big blaring no written all over his face. And helpfully, without mentioning the serenading thing:] She said you were the leader of another team.

And that you were a great guy. [THERE YOU GO a couple of positives in with the embarrassing. Since that was shortly followed by basically "yeah no he tries for lady killing but no".]
beaconed: (pic#8909764)

[personal profile] beaconed 2015-03-24 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ This is... entirely going all to his head. ]

Wow, Yang really said I'm a great guy?! I had no idea...

I-I mean, about her opinion, not that I'm not a great guy! But I don't mean to toot my own horn or anything, hahaha... [ No, look, Jaune's totally beaming. Thank you for sparing him the embarrassment, pal. Or just... postponing it, rather. ]
Edited 2015-03-24 13:46 (UTC)
masakados: dns (make them colder than usual?)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-24 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[HE CAN SEE IT... Naoki's just watching that ego inflating with amusement. He's sure that Yang'll shut it down later if Jaune's head ends up too big.]

I get the impression she thinks a lot of her friends, so. [He spreads his hands apart, shrugging with a smile.]
beaconed: (053)

[personal profile] beaconed 2015-03-24 02:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ No way, Yang's totally into him, that's what he got out of this whole thing. His lady killing ways are a thing of legend, and that is the god damn truth. ]

Hmm, that's true. She's like the mother hen of Team RWBY, always looking out for the others, but who's looking out for her? It's only natural that she wants to form a strong connection with a steady leader. But!! She's Ruby's sister, too, and there are some places a man just can't go, y'know? I should let her down gently, but I don't wanna break her sweet heart. No, I'll just make her think she's breaking mine! Yeah, that's the plan. I'll make up rumors about myself and spread them, the kind of rumors that would just make a girl rethink her options, that should do the trick...

[ He's trailing off. Sorry, Naoki, if you're still here and listening to this madness. ]
masakados: (but I’ve already forgotten the names)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-24 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Why does he feel the strangest urge to punch him all of a sudden... He's not usually one for violence. But, hrm, is this what Yang meant when she said Jaune just goes about things the wrong way... yeah, probably.]

Hey, Jaune? One sec. [He approaches.]

If you try any of your tactics on Yang... you know she's going to laugh at you, right? Or punch you. 'Cause, like that mistletoe, what you're thinking it means is completely different from what it actually is.

[we're apparently going back to that topic]
beaconed: (pic#8915953)

[personal profile] beaconed 2015-03-24 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey-- no, whoa, are you even listening to me? I don't wanna use any of my moves on her! If anything I'm trying to think of ways to tone down my charming qualities. If you talk to her before I do, just tell her I'm not her type or something, okay? I'm... I'm like a bad boy! Yeah! Tell her I sell bootleg copies of new movies! I'm bad news! That Jaune Arc boy is nothing but trouble!

--And we don't talk about the mistletoe!!
masakados: dns (with a “whatever” attitude)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-24 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh-huh.

Somehow, I don't think you need to worry as much as you think you need to. [Naoki's looking at him and he doesn't know how to feel... until he snorts and starts to laugh.]

But I'll tell her that you're--what is it--"bad news". "Nothing but trouble". Etcetera.

[He will remember the mistletoe tho he will remember it forever.]
beaconed: (positive)

[personal profile] beaconed 2015-03-25 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
Great! And if it doesn't work, there's always Plan B: You ask her out on a date!

Oh, that reminds me, I don't even know your name..?
masakados: (even though i’ve realized the truth)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-25 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Naoki Kashima.

[And he has just one small issue with this, just the one--] Mind telling me why, exactly, that's plan B? I mean, I'm not gonna do it, but now I wanna know what you've got going through your head.

[Honestly this boy isn't bad news he's just a disaster...]
beaconed: (060)

[personal profile] beaconed 2015-03-25 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ B-Because it would get Yang off Jaune's back..! ]

Ah... you're worried that she'll punch you, too, right? It's okay, I wouldn't really ask you to do that. Besides, Plan A is totally gonna work anyway!
masakados: (how do I put it?)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-25 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, it's not that, she punches me all the time anyway. [They're sparring buddies... is what he doesn't say.]

But good luck with your plan A... and I'll pass along what you want to pass along, if I'm talking to her first.
