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.

Hm?

[It takes his brain a minute to catch up to the fact that someone is addressing him. He had come to ride the Ferris Wheel to clear his mind, he hadn't actually expected anyone to notice him.

But he doesn't mind, not really. Anyways, he knows he doesn't need to let his mind linger on all the terrible things he's learned.

It's just not as easy to put on a brave face as he'd like

He tries to smile as he nods to her, only managing a weak one. It's something, at least?]


Yeah, I'm fine. [he's well aware that was not the least bit convincing, so he adds:] Don't worry about me.

adulting \o/!

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-04-04 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
Wha--

[Arm in arm is not how he pictured he'd be going to throw anything away. He stumbles over his first step, but is able to keep up after that. They must look so ridiculous that he can't help but laugh to himself as they go.]

Right, I can't argue with that logic, especially when you're so determined! I appreciate not having to do this alone, too.

[personal profile] hoasen 2015-04-04 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Perhaps you will run into someone you know here. [He might not know where they are now, but they could turn up. Also if he tells her his worries, she would tell him about how her time with her colleagues are messed up too.

Meanwhile, she's wondering if he just is playing it safe (and will end up a secret daredevil), or that he just really prefers peaceful rides. No matter, he will find out what kind he is. She nods and starts a little way towards the ferris wheel.]


Of course, come with me, I will take you there. [Dammit Cerealia, ruining first experiences. This is the worst amusement park ever, will never recommend.]

I'll be sure to give those a try, then. Thanks for your help. [he's still a little disappointed, but to be completely honest, he would've been more surprised if the hotdogs weren't mystery meat. Oh well. But speaking of sweets...]

Actually-- what's the chance you've found some halfway decent gummy bears? My brother's a big fan of those, he'll be disappointed if I don't at least try to find some for him.
sugarcoats: (038)

[personal profile] sugarcoats 2015-04-04 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Sniffling a bit, but nodding.]

I'm calm, I'm alright. I got a little worked up there, but I did mean it.
souredsweet: mewtube (open the blinds)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-04-04 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
Guilds? [The word is clearly foreign to this baffled punklet.]

Are they organizations that fight these monsters?
hatsoff: (don't believe me)

andrAIa

[personal profile] hatsoff 2015-04-04 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? [He doesn't sound surprised, but more amused than anything. She looks like the type that could handle herself.] I'm glad there's someone that can, at least.

[...okay so he totally could too. He had taken karate for too many years not to. But he didn't exactly advertise it for reasons.]

Tadashi Hamada. It's nice to meet you, AndrAIa.
souredsweet: mewtube (bluebird)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-04-04 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, the twenty-first century is far away from me. In my home, the year is still 1864.

[Which Kaoru is clearly used to explaining since there's not even a pause in that extrapolation...]
souredsweet: breadcrusts (bitches get stitches)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-04-04 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
Unimpressive? Many here seem impressed by the technology, if nothing else, or being able to see the stars from the perspective of an alien planet.

[Even if they're the aliens here WHATEVER... IT'S ALL RELATIVE. But Kaoru's expression only shows a mild sort of surprise which implies that one or both of those things are impressive to this punk. It's not true, of course... Even modern conveniences of the greatest use just get a lukewarm "okay" from Kaoru Nagumo.]
souredsweet: cupnoodles (take a bow)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-04-04 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Not every sword can be a happy-go-shanky bloodfueled maniac...]

That would work wonderfully, I'd think.

[Kaoru seems equally comfortable with playing the guide here, that said. He'll be led in silence for a while, but eventually a small gesture is made toward some of the twinkling lights of the nearest rides.]

Would you like me to explain a little about this place in the meantime? Granted, I may not be the best tour guide. These things are all a little beyond my time...
hatsoff: (lol ok)

[personal profile] hatsoff 2015-04-04 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
[It's...a nice thought, at least. Maybe it doesn't help immediately, but he does hope this gets easier. For his sake, and Hiro's.

But he nods, glad for the distraction from what he's dealing with.]


We do. Almost reminds me of home, a little. [Which is not exactly helpful in the moment, but he won't deny he likes it. He misses San Fransokyo already. This isn't a substitute, not at all, but he could get used to it. He didn't have much of a choice, either way, did he?]
souredsweet: breadcrusts (telltale)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-04-04 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Escape was so close.]

Since Sannomiya-san is new to the city, please feel free to ask me anything about it that you wish to. I don't have the answers to everything, but I've been here since the first group was pulled in, so I at least know the location of places and the best ways to get around.

[And where the caramel apple stands are, apparently.]
prosecutory: (♖ I'm talking loud; not saying much)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-04-04 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
[At first, Edgeworth looks taken aback. He raises an eyebrow, and then frowns.]

Of course not.

[The term isn't "filled". Less is more, after all. Plus, he doesn't have enough money to completely burgundy-ify and frill-ify his place.]
prosecutory: (♘ people couldn't believe)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-04-04 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
Are there any other creatures that may be specific only to your world?
prosecutory: (♙ these are my words)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-04-04 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
Very well...how many people from our world have you encountered?
hatsoff: (just watch)

[personal profile] hatsoff 2015-04-04 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
So this really has been going on a while, huh? [He had wondered. He had recognized that not everyone had just arrived pretty quickly, but he had honestly been curious as to how long some people had been there. At least a couple months, so that's something. It's more than he was told by CERES, anyway.]

Has there been any progress? With reviving any worlds?

[he just wants to know. Again, CERES wasn't exactly forthcoming with information during the powerpoint. All he knew were the basics, and even then, he didn't know if he trusted that. They said they were trying to save everything, so now he's curious: had they? Besides those there, had they really accomplished anything?]
hatsoff: (just watch)

[personal profile] hatsoff 2015-04-04 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
I'm almost afraid to ask, but-- what do you mean? ["things that affect people" is pretty cryptic. Does she mean illness? He's honestly not sure, but if it's something medically related, he's finding himself pretty glad Baymax got dragged here with Hiro.]

That's... Honestly? It's a relief to hear. I hope I can see them all again.

[Since...well, since going back home to them isn't an option. But before he can continue, he pauses, the hissing sound catching his attention.]

Do you hear that?

[The second he asks, the car suddenly stops suddenly, making him frown. That couldn't be good.]
hatsoff: (hallelujah)

[personal profile] hatsoff 2015-04-04 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
[she really has given up on it, hasn't she? But her comment makes him smirk. He's glad to see Star Wars is a universal thing.]

So I take it you don't want me to let you know if I come across more, Jedi-master?

[if she can toss around nerd quotes, so can he.]

[personal profile] tachyonme 2015-04-04 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Doesn't that sound appealing. Mizael scrunches up his nose and peers up through the branches to try and judge for himself whether it's worth it...but it's not like any of the other options are any better.

So after a moment, he teleports up to sit on a nearby branch so he can frown at the decorations properly.
]

At least it isn't one of those rides.
kicksilver: (so just sit down and listen)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-04-04 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
No worries. I can tell you're a good guy, anyway.

[ LOOK HOW NICE THIS JERK IS BEING. ]

[personal profile] braider 2015-04-04 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
[She'd honestly be more surprised if he said he did know what they were.]

They're my favorite breed of dragon, but... I might be a bit biased. [Given. She has one and all. Yeah, she's totally biased.

At his last comment, Stormfly opened her eyes, nudging Astrid gently and affectionately. The viking smiled, giving him a nod in response.]


We've...been through a lot together, that's for sure.

[And while she hated this mess she was in, she couldn't be more relieved that she at least had Stormfly by her side.]
braider: (pic#8916081)

[personal profile] braider 2015-04-04 09:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Stormfly chirps softly at his response, then proceeds to go back to grooming herself.

Astrid smiles, and while she doesn't exactly understand the honorific, she still gets his point.]


We are, yeah. Is it that obvious?

[She knows it is. She's probably sticking out like a sore thumb, what with a dragon and a very poor reaction to all things modern. The fact that, while she's trying to be friendly, she's still rather on edge, probably doesn't help either.]

I don't want anything bad to happen to us while we're here.

If something unexpected comes up you can talk to me.

[ Apparently not.

Pyrrha strangles back an unhappy sigh, eyes settling on the clearing at the base of the tree. It is, quite mercifully, robot (and trash receptacle!) free. ]


Let's try over here.
reuser: (46)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-04-04 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ It feels a disservice to her partner to admit aloud, but - yes. Sousei is absolutely right, and Pyrrha suspects it’s half-written on her face before she even opens her mouth to confirm or deny. ]

It can move a bit slow for me.
