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.

[ Pearl laughs as well, though a little more earnestly. ] That's very true! Just about anything would be better than going on more rides... safer, too!

[ Jumping out of a plane would be safer than some of these rides, basically. ]

Let's see what we can find! [ Hot chocolate / funnel cake / anything tasty really hunt is a go. ]

Alright! Let's do it!

[ The excitement catches on, and now Leia's determined. She's still all smiles as she starts to lead the way, despite how foreboding the atmosphere has become. ]

My name's Leia, by the way. What's yours?

I don't want to upset them... they seem dangerous. [ With their guns... swords... spectral monstrosities... etc. ]

Really? That's so kind of you! Though I don't want them to try to hurt you for helping me escape or something... [ "Escape" as if they're trapped in prison. A Christmas prison. ]

[Kind...no it's definitely not kind at all don't be ridiculous!! He's not a kind person!!!

But Sousei just shakes his head at that simply, unbothered.]


They cannot harm me. There has been worse than this before, and it was still little threat to me.

If you intend to leave, let's go.

[Edgeworth wasn't going to the fun house in particular, but the sound of a familiar voice - sort of familiar - and the sight of a very familiar getup and hairstyle instantly grab his attention. He whips around, one hand on the hilt of the saber he now carried everywhere he went in good ol' Cerealia - and lowers that hand when all the bells ringing in his head are confirmed by the sight of the young lady before him.

Yes, young lady. No longer eight. He takes in a breath, and his eyes widen. This is not the Pearl Fey he knew, but this is, without a shadow of a doubt, Pearl Fey indeed. From the future, it seems.]


...Pearl?!
spiritpearls: (SMILE ► pleased)

[personal profile] spiritpearls 2015-03-28 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ Pearl turns, surprised. She then ditches what she's doing to bound over to him. ]

Mr Edgeworth! [ She peers at him for a moment, because hm is something different...? Maybe it's just he's missing his glasses. ] I'm so glad you're here, I need your help!
prosecutory: (♙ one life contained)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-03-30 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, he technically is missing his glasses, because he hasn't started to wear them. But the shock of seeing an older Pearl is shaken off because she sounds like she's got something urgent on her mind.]

What is it? Did you arrive here today?
spiritpearls: (SMILE ► penguin)

[personal profile] spiritpearls 2015-03-30 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yep! You didn't? [ She sort of pictured everyone here as being new, but she guesses that wouldn't make a whole lot of sense. ]

I need to you to prosecute this themepark! They advertise themselves as a Christmas park, but some of the rides have monsters! [ Yep, super important and urgent. ]
prosecutory: (♘ and that was when)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-03-30 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Edgeworth shakes his head.]

No. I have been here for a few months now. And sadly, I have no authority to prosecute here.

Oh, that's good! What have you been up to? Asides from this awful themepark, that is.

[ Tell her everything, Athena, Pearl wants to know the happenings of this weird city she's now in. ]

[ She sighs, because she has a lot to cover. It's only been a month since she arrived, but she's definitely done a lot already. ]

Well, right now, I'm working at the cosplay cafe, and at the gym. And when I'm free, I do a lot of painting and drawing. I'm learning how to cook too.

[ oh!! And the most important part of her stay so far— ]

I met this really cool girl named Ryuko, and we ended up staying in the same apartment by accident. I'm sure the two of you will make great friends.

[ continued from here. ]

All of them? I was hoping there was at least one or two that might be safe, after the funhouse and ferris wheel.

[ Which are both in fact awful. ]

Someone should complain to the management! Someone could get seriously hurt around here.
harepiece: (you heathens)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-28 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
Complaining to the management doesn't really do much. [Which is a DANG TRAGEDY, but welcome to Cereal.]

The best that we can do is show up here to warn the new arrivals about the sort of things they may have to deal with. If you want to look at a few more rides, I wouldn't mind coming with you, though!

[Marco gives her a soft grin almost instantly. HOW CUTE.]


So it's a haunted house? Sounds fun, eh? [Fun is not the usual word for "scary and life threatening," oops.]

Want me to check it out for you?
