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 ❅

//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.

souredsweet: jackandtink (thanks shinsengumi and friends!!)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-03-30 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Kaoru looks DISPLEASED the entire time the reindeer is looking at him... But it's in a vague sort of "why is this happening to me" way rather than anything actually annoyed. Why.]

Thank you. [SIGHING in relief when she stops moving the dumb deer head around and then traipsing after her... Kaoru sticks a little to the side and slightly behind her but keeps pace, only slowing once in mild surprise when she tries to strike up a conversation like they're going to be friends or something gosh.]

Oh— please excuse me rudeness. My name is Kaoru Nagumo. [A brief nod follows, since a bow would be too inelegant without stopping.] May I ask for yours?
aerialassault: (uncool -- do not want)

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-03-30 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Well-- no, but this is just dumb!
aerialassault: (combat -- wanna play)

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-03-30 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Cliff releases the kid and falls into a defensive stance, fists ready to fly at the first sign of trouble.]

Alright, kid. Show us what you've got.
impheired: on me 'cause i got an abrasive personality and am a lil ugly, but that's ok 'cause those are my best qualities. (happy ♚ no one ever has a crush)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-30 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[...was that a compliment or an insult, he's not sure.]

He was a Chin. [Possibly an unexpected answer? You'd think a yakuza heir might have something a little more intimidating than that.] But my family keeps Tosas and Akitas too.

[There we go, there's the bigger, more aggressive dogs you'd expect to see in conjunction with such a violent family. AND THEN THERE'S FUYUHIKO...WITH HIS FLUFFY LITTLE LAP DOG...]

aerialassault: (neutral -- cutting to the chase)

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-03-30 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Here. Or, well, anywhere in this place. It'll help us feel better, even if it does nothing else.
aerialassault: (thinking -- so that's it)

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-03-30 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's not even something to joke about here.

[He relaxed his stance, and rested his hands on his hips, and quirked an eyebrow at the stranger.]

Would you believe I met a couple of folks who've never enjoyed a hot shower without needing to light a fire first?
souredsweet: jackandtink (reassurance)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-03-30 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
You do? [WHAT A COINKYDINK, Kaoru spends Too Much Time in the kitchen, too!] I don't find it strange... Cooking is soothing for many different people, no matter who or what they are, isn't that so? Perhaps we could trade recipes at some point.

[Tag-team cooking between a sword and a demon, what a perfect combo.

But there's a name Kaoru recognizes - and isn't surprised by at all, because Tenka networks at the speed of light without even trying.]


You've met Tenka-san already? [A smile!] He does seem to be fond of sweets... A cookie like that almost sounds too decadent.

["Small amounts" is right... Kaoru doesn't even like certain fruits that are too sugary, something like that would probably spell out death.]
psycholawgy: (zoinks!)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-30 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe if you dressed up more like a magician, then I wouldn't be so surprised.

[ USE YOUR HEAD KAITO, JEEZ. ]
hamham: when you're drunk because there is a bug in the shower. (13)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-30 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Gundam seems mildly surprised by the first answer, shooting Kuzuryuu A Look at first.]

A Chin? For someone like you to make a pact with a Chin...did you care for him yourself?

[Don't take this the wrong way. He's not judging you in any way right now.]

Were these Tosas and Akitas only the animals kept by your family, or did you form a bond with one of them as well?
aerialassault: (confident -- whatev)

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-03-30 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
A hot bath. One that you don't need to ask anyone to heat up the water for.

[Cliff grinned. Out of all of the things he could have mentioned, there was something to be said about the simple pleasures in life. He spent a little too much time in a place without the basic luxuries in recent months, and he truly missed this one.]
carptricks: (bout rock n roll)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-30 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
[I'M OFF DUTY]

What's wrong with what I'm wearing now?
deontology: (LII.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-30 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Then we are even. I have never sparred against a sword.

[And he's pleased as well that Souza agreed. He appreciates all sorts of tests of his ability, after all.

...and then the rest has him grinding to a stop. Why do people keep SAYING THINGS LIKE THAT.]


... Regardless. [he...can't respond to that. He...just clears his throat and moves onwards.] You would have had Tenka. He will not allow anyone to be lost.

[that's...the Kumou way after all.]
faithfulflame: (Rei Faithful)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-30 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[That...Rei frowns and sinks down into the seat next to Yosuke. She's not really wanting to think about any of that, either, but with the elephant in the room addressed and the maddeningly slow ride happening, she does the only thing she can think to do.

Her hand reaches up and comes to rest on his shoulder, giving it a squeeze. It's what her friends would do. It's what any decent person would do, try and inspire hope.]


Yosuke-kun. We'll save them. That's why we're here.
sunshied: (7)

Tenka

[personal profile] sunshied 2015-03-30 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
[AND SQUIRMING BECAUSE NO WAY ARE YOU CARRYING HIM IF YOU'RE GONNA PICK ON HIM. Jerk.]

I can walk just fine-!!

[Huff huff he's so mad. How could you compare him to someone Chuutaro's age!]
faithfulflame: (Priestess Smiling)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-30 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
[That doesn't really make it less weird, she's right. But fine.

Rei takes a stance, opening her arms a bit for the robot.]


Let's hope that's what it wants. If not...
impheired: mouse traps and brownies on my porch? (unsure ♚ just wondering. did you put)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-30 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
Well yeah, of course I did. [Does he look like a neglectful/abusive pet owner to you???] And uh...I guess that depends on your definition of bond? I mean they liked me well enough and I helped take care of them, but they weren't just mine, you know what I mean? They were family animals.

[He means family in the sense of like...his blood family, not his syndicate family. Mom, dad, sister, y'know, that whole biz.]
faithfulflame: (Rei Blink)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-30 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm hoping that it does happen. Of course.

[A beat, and she takes a long moment to think that out.]

That...okay, I can understand that.

[A pause, because she's also realized something else.]

What's your name, anyway? Mine is Rei.
sunshied: (10)

Oona

[personal profile] sunshied 2015-03-30 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... strange? No I guess not, since he's the type who picks up little kids off the street to play with them. It just surprised me, I guess.

[And he can't help but beam more readily when she asserts how important family is. To them their family is everything. To him, he'd be lost if something ever happened to Tenka for real. He thought it had been real and he didn't ever want that to happen again.]

That's right. And if Aniki has decided to make you part of our family, I guess I should say 'welcome', right?
idealistic: to be a deer in headlights (【GAME】so this is what it's like;)

[personal profile] idealistic 2015-03-30 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ well maybe if you weren't so impatient he would be able to tell you gosh!!! ]

There might be a lock in here. If I can find it, I can probably pick at it and get us outta here!
faithfulflame: (Rei Downcast)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-30 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[She sort of scowls, looking down at the the ground a bit.]

No. I'm not. The suggestions were a shooting gallery director...which I assume involves guns. I know how to use a bow, but not a gun. Kyūdō is an art, but guns? and I've never worked with art.

[A blush.]

The other suggestion was a swimsuit model. I know what that is, but it feels inappropriate, somehow.
hamham: when you're drunk because there is a bug in the shower. (19)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-30 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Of course Gundam will come and visit. And he nods, following after his classmate.]

That is an acceptable arrangement, though to allow these daemons into your home is foolish in and of itself. The dangers it could pose to you are innumerable if you cannot appease them!

[As if being summoned, four fuzzy little faces poke out of Gundam's scarf, peering around before taking their places on his shoulders and looking at Hinata with an almost judging expression. Well, except Jum-P, who can only be so judging when he's asleep.

Can you appease them, Mr. Protag? Is this something you believe yourself capable of doing?

He'll pass on the caramel but candied apples don't sound to bad...then again nothing else really sounds all that bad either.]
andimfine: (✓ 2)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-30 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
This is going to be tricky, but if anyone can find the truth behind CERES, it's us. [ He had a very similar conversation with Athena, and he had hope even then. Knowing that Blackquill is here to aid only adds to the determination. ]
impheired: but then you got greedy and decided to eat it all (talk ♚ you decided to have a pasta fight)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-03-30 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
...I don't think you'll have to worry about something like that happening.

[MOST, IF NOT ALL, OF HIS FAMILY IS LIKELY DEAD, THANKS FOR REMINDING HIM. He's not sure CERES would bother bringing in backups of people who are already dead. Or if they even can.]

Seriously though, just stick to Kuzuryuu, will you? Please?

[Look he said the magic word even. How can you say no when he does that? Also when he drops all the snark.]
hamham: There is no way anyone will know that it was me. (I left the party with a kitten.)

[personal profile] hamham 2015-03-30 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
[That's not what he meant. He meant was it you or your mom or something who took care of it. Basically did you do the dirty work or did you reap the effort of others.

He gives a hearty cackle, crossing his arms and sitting up a little straighter.]


It seems I have misjudged you, mortal! To have held a pact with a creature as noble and cute as the Chin, taking this responsibility on as your own, is an impressive feat...even without the power you took from Pandemonium itself, your essence level is clearly nothing to scoff at!
notsosolo: (Default)

[personal profile] notsosolo 2015-03-30 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Quick, but not quite quick enough. He raises his hand to his head, establishing that it's just a small nick. Nothing urgent.]

Oh I'm going to get an earful.
