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 ❅

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.

[Elcia doesn't believe in fair trade of information.... but she nods thoughtfully, imagining that, a sincere smile on her face for the first time. Being from a home like hers, the thought of the sky, and the ocean...well, it's still all pretty new.]

The ocean, huh... I'd like to see that someday. I don't suppose there's one here?

[ Sakura hopes so as well, but there's no need to say it. They both share that outlook, at least for now. ]

We'll just let it swell up for now. Under the right amount of pressure, that kind of enthusiasm will be an unstoppable force when the time does come.

Oh! I see. So you have many colleagues too? [Since he said "our", so she's guessing. Also she can't tell that he's sad, aside from his tone, since his face is so zen. It's expected though, with the news that he received, and how he probably misses home.]

A ferris wheel! Ah yes, it's one of the most easily spotted rides in an amusement park. And one of the most popular, since it's good for all ages, even children. You can get a perfectly good view of the park this way.

Sure. I won't argue that. Let's get out of here.

[Elcia just crosses her arms vaguely, and follows Leia without hesitation. She doesn't have anything in the form of a weapon, so if they really are attacked by some ridiculous monster thing, either Leia will save her or she's screwed.

Not really the sort of situation she wanted to get into first thing, but hey, it's apparently not up to her.

She's a little sour about it, though.]

[...This entire conversation is full of surprises, that's for sure. They'll only be that way for a short period of time? That's news to him, and admittedly, it's a little...

Well, isn't it a little unfortunate?]


... I see. I was unaware that it was temporary.

[A pause. Even so......]

Nonetheless, your sentient nature is still real while you are in this form. For that reason, you should be treated properly as a person who is capable of making decisions.

[You know, Sousei really was just walking by. His arms were crossed as ever neatly behind his back, and he was calm as ever and when there's a sword catapulting into the tree nearby, he

Doesn't even flinch.

Especially when he sees who it is, slowly lifting his gaze to inspect that tree, before it suddenly comes crashing down.

Ah.

He looks down instead.]

For now... We can focus on examining this mysterious place!

[THE ASSHOLE TRAIN BARRELS FULL-SPEED AHEAD...

Kaoru's at least managed to pick the dang thing back up and is holding it out toward him like it might suddenly bite; hesitant, wary, a little frightened-looking, gaze briefly darting toward some of the bots and scattered bot pieces. Just a general air of I don't want to be here right now no sir, basically. Still, an apologetic look is offered since clearly captain stabby here is being hampered by Kaoru's fumbling delicate princess hands.]


I'm sorry, it's just a little- [Shocking, maybe?? SURPRISING? But Kaoru's thoughts are left unfinished as an unchecked bot clips the side of a building on its way over, shedding pieces of metal in a small fun-filled holiday explosion. There's a little yelp from Kaoru, who promptly SHOVES THE KUNAI OVER LIKE TAKE IT, PLEASE, LET ME GET OUT OF THIS MADHOUSE--

And then a pause, and a look of even more surprise which is promptly followed by:]


—Fuuma Koutarou-san?

[THE WRONG ONE which Kaoru figured out before even pretending to recognize his face, but hey! The average person who is coping with a suddenly violent scene would probably not be able to tell the difference that quickly... or so Kaoru assumes. It's artful guessing at its finest, okay.]

[A BUTT. A TRUE BUTT.

Kaoru's smile becomes vaguely apologetic at that.]


If there is, it's beyond the farthest outer barriers of the city. There are many places on this planet that we haven't been able to explore yet because it hasn't been deemed safe enough for us, but perhaps there's an ocean out there somewhere. In here, the closest thing that you'll find are the ponds in the park. They're large, at least...

[For what little good that does. Large enough to use for murder though, probably!]
bewrightback: (larry butz exists)

Or why they took you from the past... [Maybe they prefer their failure to be vintage.]

Wait... what do you mean, Larry?! [Sweatdrop.] Athena's a new layer who works for me. And Maya still exists... She's just busy with her training.

...But, none of this means anything remotely resembling what you think it means!

[Kazoo's fuzzy head and those animal hair ties are going to be the closest Peko ever gets to petting a real fuzzy baby animal and that's just sad.]

You're welcome. It's certainly one of the least savory aspects of this city, though... It's a shame, since it's the only area styled like my home.

[WHY YOU GOTTA DO THAT, CEREAL.]

Everything else is much more futuristic. I believe even people from the twenty-first century find it to be advanced, and that seems to be the most common time that people are drawn from.
souredsweet: jackandtink (uninspired)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-04-03 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
[It's easy to get that vibe, at least... A sword that disapproves of violence, WHAT A DAY.

But luckily for him, Kaoru is pretty accustomed to how things work in Cerealia by now, and definitely understands the request for direction in his look. With a smile:]


You could certainly check there later, but I would imagine that everyone who classifies as a new arrival is in the park right now just as you are. Combing through this place would be your best bet, and waiting at the gate once we're excused if you haven't found him by then would be a good second. Ah - but I could show you the way around, if you'd like to start your search here.
bewrightback: (sheepish)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-04-03 05:56 am (UTC)(link)

H-hey, that's not really true. I'm sure once you get to know me, you see I'm... not that?

A lot like what... a lot like buses? [He rubs at his head sheepishly.] Yeah, I guess you could say I rely on public transportation quite a bit... I don't exactly have a driver's license, after all...

[oh god, Hiro's crying. Hiro's shaking and crying, and wow it hurts Tadashi so much to stand there, watching the pain he caused his brother.

Maybe Hiro didn't specifically say it, but his message is clear enough.

He didn't make it out of the expo.

Part of him honestly isn't surprised. He knew it had been a risk to run in there. He knew it would be dangerous. He remembered vividly the heat from the flames, and then seeing that beam falling--

But he didn't want it to be true. More than anything, he wanted him to be wrong. He wanted to know he got back out to Hiro, got to watch his brother start college, graduate, change the world--

That wasn't an option now.

Sure, he was here, somehow. In some unexplainable way, he was brought here, but he couldn't go back, could he?

But they had now, didn't they? He was here now, alive-- or however close to alive this place really was. Maybe it was a dying dream, some sort of fantasy with his last breath, but he had an opportunity to be there for Hiro again. He wasn't going to waste it.

He can barely keep it together himself. He bites his lip, but doesn't dare to pull away. He holds his brother close, letting him get his emotions out. As hard as it is for him, learning his fate, he makes himself keep it together. He has to be strong, for Hiro. But even as he speaks, his voice is soft and more unsteady than he wants it to be.]


I-- I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Hiro.

[ he's so confused . . . what is your deal, miyamura . . .

makoto just happens to be very tactile, okay!! he doesn't put much stock into spur-of-the-moment contact, as it's just enough to keep his companion from blowing a casket, barely maintaining enough unspooled diffidence to keep his own wits intact as he becomes a front row spectator to santa droid's ubiquitous fall from grace (not half as dramatic as he's making it sound, but whatever). it lands with a graceless thud on asphalt, oozing out fizzling sparks as if they'd induced anaphylactic shock into its hardwired circuits.

a few seconds afterwards, he retracts his clasp with a relieved sigh when they don't automatically bite the dust on premise alone?! that sure was a close one, what with the possibility of mechanized self-combustion all too imminent in these trying, trying times. makoto gives his head an emotionally-compromised shake, shifting his weight back onto his heels. ]


Oh, well, not really? I don't think I understand what you mean.

I don't think it'll attack anyone anytime soon. [ a pause. ] Are you okay? You didn't get hurt, did you?
