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!!!

You too! I can't do much, but...

[ hm, looking at the way he dresses and how cerealia seems to have pretty advanced tech... ]

If you need any help with your device or other electronics, I'll to my best to assist you.
defeets: (» you have my attention)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . . oh, you hit the nail on the head with that one, Fuuka. He's already tilting his head, curious.]

"Device or other electronics"? What do you mean by that, Fuuka dear?
verified: (no doubt in my mind)

[personal profile] verified 2015-03-24 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ she gives a small giggle and pulls out her device to show him. ]

This is your device. I think they gave something like this to you when you got here, right? It's basically a phone with different functions on it.

[ she stands a little closer so he can see the screen as she turns it on. ]

It's already pre-programmed with everyone's numbers, so you can call or send messages to whoever you want. You can also access the network, where you can make public entries for other people to see. It'll take some time to get used to, but it shouldn't be too hard.
defeets: (» boy that escalated quickly)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-24 09:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . . . . . in truth, a lot of that is very foreign to him. What's a phone? What does it mean for something to be pre-programmed? What do you mean everyone already has a number, isn't that a bit inhumane? What does it mean to call someone? What exactly is a network, and why do you need public entries as opposed to private entries?

Basically, he's questioning everything that she just said.]


And these are... common in your world?
verified: (where you belong)

[personal profile] verified 2015-03-24 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, they are. But, ah, sorry I should probably explain a little more.

[ she brings up the contact list, showing him the names of everyone in cerelia and their number. ]

A phone is basically a communication device. It allows people to talk to one another over large or small distances instantaneously. As long as the person you want to talk to has a corresponding device and number, you can talk to them anywhere at anytime. Think of it like how you would write a letter to someone, you would need their address in order to send it to them. In this case, their phone number would be the address and instead of writing out your message, you can say it to them.

[ she won't go into the whole service zones because that'd probably be even more confusing. also, look at how she explains all this to him, she's so relaxed and happy. what a nerd. ]

I think they included everyone's number so it would be easier for us to contact one another. This is actually a more advanced model than what I'm used to, but it does make things more convenient.
defeets: (» have i told you lately)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-26 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah... So this is the sort of thing that girls from other worlds are into? Okay. Well, it's complicated and not only does it help him understand, but apparently it relaxes her to talk about it. He's hardly going to complain about something like that. So he just shakes his head faintly then, amused.]

Ah... Is that so?

You know an awful lot about this sort of thing, Fuuka dear. A hobby, perhaps?
verified: (there to dry your tears)

[personal profile] verified 2015-03-26 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ her smile wanes a little and turns sheepish, one shoulder hitching up. ]

Mm, yeah, I guess you could call it a hobby. It's... well, it's actually a field of study in my world and I wanted to get into it, even though my parents wanted me to study medicine. It's not something girls are supposed to be interested in, I think?

[ she pauses, cheeks turning red out of embarrassment. she probably said too much. shaking her head, she waves a hand in front of her briefly. ]

Anyway, sorry, that's neither here nor there. But did that help you understand a little more? I can try to answer other questions you have too.
