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!!!

That's not what I meant.

[ Kaneki's voice sounds almost edged there, sharp and somewhat abrupt as his gaze turned back to Shuu afterward. It was simply a matter of misunderstanding when he'd said that, and it hadn't really been his intention when he'd said that before.

If he heard that slight unhinged tone to the other's voice he didn't really show it, either. ]


Just... that was the way I thought initially with what I am as we... the things my kind has to eat makes it hard to be anything but something like a monster. I know better now, that a lot of ghouls, even with our unique food source aren't so bad.

[ In his attempt to clarify things it kind of slipped what he was. Oops? ]
puerilely: less talking more explosions please (god this is sO BORING)

[personal profile] puerilely 2015-04-11 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ghoul. It's not a term Shuu has heard of before, but considering people are pulled into this place from different places and times, he supposes it's not impossible. At least it means this guy isn't a demon like him, but he already assumed as much after he couldn't sense any sort of demon aura coming from the other.

Instead of mentioning it out loud, he just lets out a very elongated sigh. ]


Then be more careful with your wording. Don't think you're all that superior just because you used to be human.. [ There's a hint of a threat in there, but it's not really all that apparent since Shuu is usually a lot more straightforward about those. ] Calling anything that isn't human a monster is exactly the kind of attitude that makes humans think they can just kill anything they come across.

That's definitely the wo-rst kind of attitude.
dimidiampura: (▷ Nothing that's left within.)

[personal profile] dimidiampura 2015-04-15 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... I never intended to make myself sound superior to start with.

[ There's a faintly apologetic tone somewhat in his voice there, gaze clouding over a bit and he's quiet afterward. All of this had not been his intention at all but if it had, it wasn't by any means something he was doing consciously. ]

Sorry. If I came off as having that attitude, it was more of something I picked up from home and it's not meant to imply you or anyone else inhuman are monsters by any means.

[ Shuu's succeeded in making him feel guilty if that happens to count for anything. ]
puerilely: what do you mean my family only plays a secondary role in hakuouki (actually vaguely concerned for once)

[personal profile] puerilely 2015-04-18 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...

Why is he backpedalling like this. Shuu doesn't get it at all, and he just stares at the other for a moment with some obvious surprise flashing in his gaze. He's used to humans (even if Kaneki isn't human anymore, he started out as a human so he's counted among them in Shuu's mind) just thinking they're superior without admitting anything like this. So when he does hear someone say this.. well, how does he deal?

Clearly it must mean Kaneki is lying, right? His brain can't process any of this any other way. ]


If you're just going to lie, waste your words on someone else.

[ So he just stubbornly clings to that belief instead like a little kid. ]

It must be since you're scared, right? Trapped between the world of those who are human and those who aren't.. you have nowhere to go. [ Yeah, thanks, Shuu, rub it in, won't you.. ]
dimidiampura: (▷ I live only to move forward.)

[personal profile] dimidiampura 2015-04-20 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not lying.

[ His tone is to the point without a shred of dishonesty whatsoever. Kaneki wasn't quite sure where the other had gotten this notion that he was lying about this but he had no problems in dissuading that idea to set it on the right path. ]

I really am sorry. My words were genuine and I meant exactly what I said. [ Then, he adds on: ] I have no reason to lie about that, either. What would I gain from lying to someone I don't really know?

[ O h. Rubbing it in definitely isn't a great thing to do right now considering while he may act 'normal', his mentality still isn't the best from home and this kind of digs in pretty damn good. Hitting on a subject that was a bit of a tender one and it shows in the way his otherwise calm demeanor tenses and his expression hardens visibly.

His anger must be palpable then, as in that next instant his kakugan in his left eye activates unconsciously and colors it that lovely deep black and red once more. ]


Don't speak as if you understand how I feel or what kind of place I have in the world.
puerilely: alternatively nagumo clan level sanity (a face you can trust)

[personal profile] puerilely 2015-04-21 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ You'd be surprised just how much of a distrustful paranoid wreck Shuu can be, Kaneki.. he just manages to hide it well by looking pretty good on the outside. Or something like that, anyway.

It's not like he's paying much attention to Kaneki's words at all to begin with. He's more focused on the way the other's eye colors that way, and Shuu knows very well (if not just thanks to what he himself is) that eye colors changing usually are an indication of powers or true forms coming forth. It's a warning sign in a lot of ways, but Shuu never pays attention to those anyway. ]


Wha-t? What do you think your own place is, then..?
