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)
"☃ WELCOME NEW ARRIVALS ❅
YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT THE SANTASTICAL FOREST OF CHRISTMAS WONDERS ❅
PLEASE ENJOY ALL THE RIDES CEO JULIUS VINCERE HAS HAND-PICKED FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT ❅
WE WISH TO BRING YOU MERRY FEELINGS FOR THE HOLIDAY ❅

WHAT? YOU DON'T WANT ONE ❅
BUT I WAS PROGRAMMED TO CONVEY HUGGING AS LOVE THROUGH AFFECTION ❅
PLEASE DON'T RUN ❅
COME BAAAAACK, VISITOR ❅"

//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.

I guess it has its moments.

[He looks up at the ceiling of the car and thinks about it.]

We could be in the middle of a zombie apocalypse or something, so at least we're not.

[..........ok nice]

[ "Tokyo", the new government's name for Edo. It seems to have stuck.

But he nods. ]


I lived in Otsu, in Shiga Prefecture for the last ten years. Before that, I lived in a very small, isolated village.

Not as far as I know. If someone had, we probably would've been hearing more about it from the people who were captured here.

[He shrugs a little bit.]

Kind of don't believe it until I see it in this case.

[ Saber has no idea what sort of ability Rei may have, but if they are both under attack, then she can trust her for the time being. ]

I will take care of it.

[ She may have an invisible weapon in her hand, but Saber is strong. Strong enough to dart forward, slicing a handful of mirrors in a downward arc as her sword cuts through them like paper. ]

[personal profile] unpresidential 2015-03-30 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not that bad right now. It's not always this easy.

[which isn't a statement meant to deter her in any way, but he thinks it's only fair to give her proper warning, because really... nam soon doesn't think that sort of thing is possible to prepare for. even the people who are anime as hell don't always know how to cope, he's realized.]

We've all been new to this before. We all have the same problem too... [so he shrugs a little. it's not really a problem, as far as he sees it.]

[Rei mirrors the posture, thoughtful in her own way. A girl from the future. But that far in the future, knowing what’s to come at the turn of the new millennium.]

2014. It’s 1996 where I’m from. [A beat as she tries to think of a good litmus test. Usagi is right out, as is Sailor Moon, but…the King of the Earth? That should be safe enough.] Does the name Endymion mean anything to you, by chance?
faithfulflame: <user name=cupcake-graphics> (Priestess Arms Folded)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-30 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Gurl she’s totally an alien…]

That is definitely a possibility, though…I’m not sure it’d be worth the trouble. That’s a really elaborate fabrication, if it is. And a rather outlandish claim.

faithfulflame: (Priestess of Fire)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-30 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course.

[To both, really. She has no intent to complain about something she’ll be getting herself into. She doesn’t do things she has no interest in, and she doesn’t do anything by half-measures. If she decides to go into kendo, it will be because she wants to, and because it will be useful.]

And I’d be happy to show what I can. I am no teacher, though, so I’d only feel proper sharing the basics.
faithfulflame: (Rei Glamourous)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-30 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
You certainly come across that way.

[She smirks, able to at least appreciate the sarcasm.]

And yes, I’m sure you do.

faithfulflame: (Priestess Cheery)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-30 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods again, a genuinely cheerful smile finally lighting up her whole face. He’d definitely hit the mark, and given her something less embarrassing, and significantly less troubling than vibrators and time differences to talk about. Home is something positive, something easy, and languages are fun.]

They are, yes. The lettering we use to write them has meanings outside of just names, too, so by combining letters we can give a name a special meaning. Like my friend, Usagi Tsukino. The letters in her name, when you write them, mean Rabbit of the Moon, for example.

[A pause.]

Are you from Earth, Oz-kun?

If anything, I'll have to be more on top of my game than usual. [he's got a formidable opponent now, after all.]
sunshied: (Default)

Lily

[personal profile] sunshied 2015-03-30 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hold up... wolf things? And she knows Tenka. But- Excuse him he has to think what to say. He's so confused, but this girl seems really nice?]

He was? Well, I'm glad... if you were here to help cheer him up while I've been gone.

[He feels as if he can be at ease then, knowing that someone was looking out for his brother. Excuse him if he gets on your level, Lily, and crouches down a bit. One thing he's learned about kids - namely Chuutaro - is they don't enjoy feeling like they're not on equal footing. He can relate, of course.]

Ow- [It would help if he hadn't just hurt himself, of course.]

Ah, sorry for asking but... do you know where he is? Or who else is here?

[If both his brothers were here that would be best, so that they weren't all separated.]
sunshied: (Default)

Kaoru

[personal profile] sunshied 2015-03-30 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I- no... I'm really sorry.

[He bows his head a bit, feeling as if it reminds him far too much of when his memory would lapse during his time as the Orochi vessel. Shaking it off, he addresses her next words.]

Kaoru. I'll make sure I remember from now on.

[Yue didn't have a yen to his name back home, being able to afford cotton candy is a luxury. Which is why he looks so cheerful now, probably.]

Okay, let's go!

[Onwards! To victory!!]
sunshied: (5)

Fuuka

[personal profile] sunshied 2015-03-30 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nearly jumps out of his skin when she points a gun to her head, reaching out to stop her from harming herself when-]

Wai- what? Are you alright?

[What was that? And she sounded almost strange when she spoke again.]

Right-!! Uhm, do you want me to go first or you?

[Hang on he's still trying to figure out the thing you just did with the gun and where that other thing came from.]
sunshied: (13)

Sousei

[personal profile] sunshied 2015-03-30 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[He wants to ask more questions, but Sousei is right. Instead, he straightens up a bit more, ignoring the twinge in his ribs.]

I'm ready to go if you are.

[And he's on the alert now, too. If anything jumped out at them he would be ready - sword or no sword. He'd just need to find a bokken to carry around later.]
twomeals: ([oh] 17)

[personal profile] twomeals 2015-03-30 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
It better...?

[What does that mean? He's honestly confused. Also carefully feeling for the chair again. Is it still moving? Is it over here? Gosh, it's dark in here.]
shacklebreaker: (dotards dotards dotards)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-03-30 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I see... [A little while longer than Athena, then.] Athena mentioned you were denied the opportunity to work as a prosecutor here, as I have been.

[He's more than a little disgruntled about being relegated to police grunt work, but what can they do about it...?]

[Well, to be fair Souji kind of acts like a child a lot of the time too, and practically exudes an air of youthful innocence. He's pretty used to people treating him like he's a doted-on protege when he's not being treated like the 1st unit captain.

He laughs a bit ruefully in agreement, placatingly scratching Saizō behind the ears.]


Doesn't seem like it much, does it? I mean, it's not that I'm not used to getting attacked, but it's a little bit rude during a festival and everything. [He sighs, as if deploring the state of proper manners in this new world.] And I guess I don't usually bring my pig into battle either.

California, in the United States.

The year was 2027, if it makes any difference to you.
kicksilver: (002)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-30 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup. [ He nods.] You'd best do that.
kicksilver: (oh my dick in a box girl)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-30 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I really mean it.

What's it gonna take to prove it? [ Said with an arched eyebrow. Let's hear what you've got to say, Milkshakes. ]
littlestbaskerville: --note to self: don't stir the yandere pot (✿ thank you for crying with me.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-03-30 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lily thought the explanation was good but she did remember someone mentioning that people don't always remember being here before.]

I tried! He is always really nice to me and plays with me!

[She's really glad she met Tenka and that she has him around. Well, him and everyone else that she knows from knowing Tenka. Even if she was warned about mister ninja she likes him too.

When he moves to her level she smiles until she hears him and she starts to fret. Did she hurt him more?!]


Eh!? Are you okay? I didn't hurt you did I?

[Fretting a little she looks worried about Sora. Even with the worry she tries to answer him the best she can.]

It's okay...Um, mister ninja and Sousei are here too? They are Ten-nii's friends too.
cordated: (RINSE.)

[personal profile] cordated 2015-03-30 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a lot to take in all at once, if that's what you mean.

[ If nothing else, he's assuaged by the fact that Hubert's indulging him for the ridiculousness that constitutes their current situation. Barring the mandhandling treatment the robots were inclined to bestow on every new arrival, he would've been half-inclined to head on the bus himself, if just to find a way to rationalize. Dropping his chin in his palm, he keeps his gaze pinned on the upholstery with an intense fixation. ]

It doesn't seem real. There must be some other reason! ... It's kind of hard to believe it's all just an elaborate ruse, though.
particularity: (m ✣ cause people)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-30 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[And Hinata will frown slightly at his grimace. He's going to have to have a Talk with you about Komaeda, Kuzuryuu.]

Aa. I want to. [Burn it to the ground, help the others out of there...] But most of all, we gotta get back home. And we'll get back no matter what. The others are still there...
