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!!!


journaler: (✿ fight!!)

[personal profile] journaler 2015-03-24 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
[She recognizes the sound of a blade when she hears one. Weapons... weapons. Suddenly she remembers that she can fight, even if her friends aren't near... so after recovering, she pulls out her trusty staff, hardening her expression as she stands upright in a defensive position.

At the same time, Hubert's gunshots ring out all around, which makes her jittery before realizing they're his. It's so hard to see-- she's waiting for a monster, any kind of monster.

Then she's on the ground again, slammed, and it sounds like the same thing happened to him as they're separated. She opens her mouth to call out his name, and quickly realizes she doesn't even know it yet.]


H- Hey! I think we're gonna need to speed up our exit plans...!

[...GOOD ENOUGH.]

You don't think I don't know that?

[His voice comes off a little more scathing than intended, but he's right. He's not sure he enjoys this 'fun' this place is giving him as he takes out his second blade, again turning that into a gun and now dual wielding. Well, if he gets in trouble for vandalization, he'll take the charges given their treatment of him. So shooting through the fun house is a go! Though he's making sure he can hear the girl to ensure he won't shoot her.

At least he wouldn't want to shoot her in the back.]
journaler: (✿ here comes leia)

1/2

[personal profile] journaler 2015-03-25 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Leia isn't even bothered by his tone, or his bullets--which sound like they're doing their job. She's too busy trying to put some distance between them and whatever it is that seems to be chasing them. Needless to say, it's hard to fight something you can't see, and even going airborne with her staff isn't good enough.]

Swallow Fli--!!

[She's still hurled to the ground one more time, likely bruised and scarred, but it doesn't matter. She growls, beating one fist at the ground in frustration as she uses the momentum to pull herself back up.

It's so hard to tell which way is which now. Following the snowy forest path should have been simple... but then, a lot of things aren't the way they should be.

She lunges forward, ignoring the pain in her legs with her staff extended forward.]


Show yourself!
journaler: (✿ i'm dancing right beside you)

[personal profile] journaler 2015-03-25 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[...it's around then, of course, that the lights flicker back on.

The singing resumes, the snowmen smile again, and... she sees herself, ready to break the mirror in front of her. A mirror... that really should've already been broken.]


H... Huh?

[She stumbles backwards a bit to try to get her bearings, pulling her staff closer into a more defensive position. She looks around--all of the mirrors should have been broken, based on the all the shattering she heard.

And she bumps right into Hubert, who appears as a blue-ish blob behind her in the reflection.]
omurice: (pic#6267809)

[personal profile] omurice 2015-03-25 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's in fight or flight mode, where he's been conditioned to fight. Shooting in the dark is far too dangerous now as he transforms his weapon into his dualblade, feeling around him for anything that might attack, yet there's nothing. Just darkness and...

...suddenly everything is back to normal. He should have shattered those mirrors -- just what the hell's going on?! Once again, the mirrors through him off and since it was just pitch black, his eyes are having a hard time adjusting to the optical illusion. However, the moment he feels the girl bump into him, he immediately spins, turning one of his blades back into a gun and pointing it at her--!

Given the reflection he saw earlier, he realized he finally found the girl who he had been speaking to, giving a sigh of relief and putting his weapons away.]


My apologies, you had startled me. [Like, really startled him, but at least he didn't go off and attack her before assessing the situation.]

I also much apologize since I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with this kind of amusement park. Typically, a such a place wouldn't suddenly turn into a horror themed park without warning.

[For now he's being kind and courteous. Keeping that stoic tone and making sure he has no intentions of really wanting to get to know this girl.]
journaler: (✿ there's nothing wrong)

[personal profile] journaler 2015-03-26 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Leia turns as well, equally startled, though her reaction isn't quite so violent. She hops back to give herself some space, rather defensively, until Hubert quickly comes to his senses (which is good, because being shot twice is two times too many in one lifetime).

Even better yet, he's apologizing, which is certainly not something she expected... nor anything he had to do.]


Oh, no, it's alright. [Casually lowering her staff...] I... I think the horror is throwing off just about everyone.

[...Everyone. She turns shyly and gives the mirror behind her a glance.]

I still can't believe it. It's like that didn't even happen.

[Did I dream it...?]
