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.

psycholawgy: (absolute judgement)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-24 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ This girl sure doesn't agree. She just winces at how gross his way of thinking is, and takes a seat. She looks at the old lady who seems to at least be sleeping wonderfully. ]

(Oohhh, this guy could use a slap or two. He's too cocky!

[ And of course, her lovely and trusty assistant Widget joins in on the fun. Enjoy suddenly hearing an autotuned five year old kid's voice. ]
Too cocky!
carptricks: (Cause I feel like)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-25 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
-- what? Hey!

[HE HEARD THAT. and spins around to face Athena. did she say that? it sure didn't sound like her. . .]

It's not cockiness, it's confidence!
psycholawgy: (arrghhh barghhh)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-25 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh good, he's not asking about it. THANK GOD. ]

Wh- Wh- What? I didn't say anything!

It was me!


[ Welp so much for keeping Widget hidden. ]
carptricks: (and I'll carry you away)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-25 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[. . . and so much for him not asking about it]

[he blinks]


. . . what's that thing?

[and jerks his thumb towards widget]
psycholawgy: (are tomatoes fruit)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-25 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
He's Widget.

[ DESCRIPTIVE... ]
carptricks: (and I keep them in a jar)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-25 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
. . .

That doesn't tell me anything about--

[BUT TODAY IS YOUR LUCKY DAY ATHENA]

[for the ferris wheel carriage has finally reached the top, and it grinds to a halt with a sudden jolt]

[keep your balance!]
psycholawgy: (NOOOOOOOOOO)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-25 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh no why's it suddenly dark?

She grabs hold onto a side panel in the cart so she won't fall down, and then she feels something by her foot. And she screams. Really loudly.

(It's the old lady. She fell back down and her hand touched Athena's shoe. OOPS...) ]
carptricks: (so late at night)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-25 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[THAT POOR OLD LADY, HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE BOTH OF US]

Easy, easy--! It's fine! The ride is probably just--

[. . . but whatever he was about to say is cut off by the creepy hissing noises]
psycholawgy: (phoenix wright face)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-25 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no, what the heck is happening!

[ The hissing scares her even more. She tries to shake the thing off her foot but ends up kicking the old lady. She doesn't even know it, since she completely forgot about the lady. IF SHE WANTED TO BE REMEMBERED, SHE'D HAVE TALKED MORE. ]
carptricks: (believe in the magic of rock n roll)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-25 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
[SHE WAS UNCONSCIOUS]

Don't freak out!





-- and don't kick anything either!

[HE HEARD THAT THUMP]

[kaito, for one, is standing stock still and waiting for his eyes to adjust to the darkness]
psycholawgy: (words words words)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-25 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ Widget is still lit up, so at least there's a light in the cart.

ALSO SHE SHOULD HAVE PUT EFFORT IN BEING CONSCIOUS. What a lazy butt! ]


I didn't kick any— [ oh shoot now she remembers the old lady. ] —her on purpose!
Edited 2015-03-25 04:39 (UTC)
carptricks: (bout rock n roll)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-25 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
[oh my god that poor woman]

Look, just hold completely still until the lights come back on--

[and as though on cue, the darkness fades along with the hissing noises. light streams back into the carriage, and the ferris wheel begins to move again]
psycholawgy: (that's dr. blackjack not simon!!!)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-25 12:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She does exactly that, but she's still freaked out. ]

...

That wasn't weird, right?

carptricks: (like an old time movie)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-25 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[as soon as the lights are on, Kaito crouches near the old woman, once again checking her vitals to make sure she is okay. HE WILL BUY HER A WHOLE THING OF COTTON CANDY AFTER THIS. . .]

That was very weird. Please don't tell me it's normal for this place.
psycholawgy: (we'll go dancing round the clock)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-25 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
It's actually my first time in this carnival.

But— [ He said "this place"??? ] Are you new?!

[ The idea of it seems so unreal, she looks pretty pale now just from the shock. ]
carptricks: (Just go and listen)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-25 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kaito glances up at Athena and nods, but not before gently moving the old woman onto her back again. HE WILL JUST. STAY HERE. AT HER SIDE. to monitor her condition and make sure she is okay]

Just got here today. Why? S'that weird? You look pretty surprised about it.
psycholawgy: (so the boyfriend is the prosecution's...)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-25 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well, if Kaito is by the old lady, then she'll sit right back down. Everything seems to be under control! ]

They say people usually come in every two weeks, but we haven't had new people for a month now. I was part of the last batch that was recoded.
carptricks: (When I'm far too tired)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-25 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[IT IS. and they are heading back down again]

"Recorded" is an interesting way to put it. [but he supposes it's accurate]

So you've been here a month, and you've never been to this creepy amusement park?

[creepy seemed like an understatement after what just happened]
psycholawgy: (ready to rumble)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-26 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
No, I never really knew about this place until they started advertising yesterday.

I usually just hang out with my coworkers and friends in cafes and stuff. But today's special! I mean, who wouldn't want to go to an amusement park, right?
carptricks: (I would clearly feel blessed)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-26 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Trust me, normally I'm right there with you. Something a little more cheerful sounds like it'll do those who just got here a whole lot of good.

[especially if some of them are still reeling from the whole 'YOUR WORLD WAS DESTROYED' news]

But you don't think there was something off about what just happened?

[which might mean that there's something off about the entire park?]
psycholawgy: (attorney at law and psychology)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-26 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Apparently, when new people come, a glitch happens in the system. The park should be back to normal once a day or two passes.

[ She's probably letting this go a little too casually, but a month is still a long time to be stuck in this place. She's pretty much settled down already. ]
carptricks: (Cause I saved a few)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-26 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[. . . GLITCHES ARE THINGS TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT]

The whole system is that unstable? D'you know if this-- uh. CERES. Are they trying to stabilize it so the glitches stop occurring?
psycholawgy: (/me punts you)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-26 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
The CEO always says he's trying to fix things, but no one really feels it, you know?

[ It really is concerning. ] But there was this girl the other day who told us that the CEO has more important stuff to take care of. That's why we just have to be patient with him if we want to win against the Flamines.
carptricks: (stay awake when I'm asleep)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-26 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[aha. now this was good information]

Did she say what kinda important stuff the CEO had to take care of?
psycholawgy: (apollo also droolz)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-26 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
No. Not yet, anyway.

[ A beat. ] She disappeared all of a sudden.
