//event011.EXE 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 ❅ COME GIVE SNOWTRON 5000 A HUG ❅ 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 [ xxxx ] 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 [ xxxx ] 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 [ xxxx ] 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 [ xxxx ] 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 [ whyo'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 continuation; feel free to tag in!

[compossible]

[From here!]

natalia.

[compossible]

I'd say I can take care of myself, but...

[She spreads her arms out to display that bloody dress in its full glory, offering a wry smile.]

Well, I do okay, until you pit my poor, weaponless self against a bunch of people with pointy objects.

[poised]

[Full.... gory glory. Jeeze. Natalia frowns, though at the very least she doesn't wince. Well, at least that manages to confirm her suspicions.]

That's horrendous! Why on earth would they want to hurt you so?

hyoubu.

[compossible]

I was in the process of it, probably.

[As far as she's concerned, it's...really not a big deal. Sometimes, people die. This time, she was that person--ah well. She does have a few regrets, but...

You know, you do what you can with the life that's given to you, and in some ways, it's amazing she made it this far.]

Who are you, anyway? You're not a normal person, right?

[espersions]

[ He turns and looks at her. She seems, from her manner, remarkably unconcerned about her own death, but that might just be shock.

Her question catches him a little off-guard, however. ]

I —

No. I'm not a Normal. I'm Hyoubu Kyousuke, and I'm an esper.

[ A little pause, and then: ]

You're not a Normal person either.

inaba.

[compossible]

You make a good point. But with less screentime, you'll get paid less too.

[the struggle.

anyway--]

It's not one of the jobs I was offered, so I'm assuming we're not actually on a movie set.

[dereban]

Nnngh. That is true, but money isn't everything.

[At least, that's what she'd like to think.]

Ah, no. This isn't a movie set. It seems to be a new carnival. A really crappy one, but new.

elsa.

[compossible]

My operator brought me back--well, after he dumped me into another time entirely without warning.

[rude ass

But she tilts her head at Elsa then.]

I'm a Time Negotiator--or I was. Traveling through time was my day job. I guess it doesn't really apply here, though.

[shivered]

Operator?

[That's a curious term there. What does that mean exactly? But oh so time travel really is everyday for her?

Elsa blinks.]

OH! So you really are used to different worlds then. That's really amazing. Was it a dangerous thing, traveling time like that?

yosuke.

[compossible]

[Sorry, Yosuke........ she does glance down at that trail of blood, and then she frowns.]

It's not very polite to bring up a girl's blood trail, you know.

ok this is the actual tag lolol

[punchesyu]

[He gestures down towards the blood.]

What the hell??? That's not normal, you know! Girls don't just go around leaving a bunch of blood all over the place! That's really freaky, dude!

kaoru.

[compossible]

[She may or may not fall into both of those categories...but poor, long-suffering Kaoru. Elcia inspects him for a moment before nodding.]

But you're here with me right now. So now if we get into some sort of avoidable danger, you'll be caught up in it too. Doesn't that bother you?

... Or do you think it'll be easily avoidable for someone like you?

[souredsweet]

[Kaoru is the most long-suffering demon in all the land in this moment, honestly. He's worked long and hard for this crown...

BUT THAT WORDING sure does have him on his guard. The expression present is one of clear confusion - an unspoken "what do you mean?" - but it isn't actually voiced yet. Instead:]

Danger isn't easily avoidable for anyone here, miss.

mary.

[compossible]

[WILL DO ready for the lesson of your life, Mary...]

You're adorable, right? You've got those big eyes and that precious face of yours. If you up the amount of tears and sadness on your face before you got all cold and scary, you'll be even more terrifying.

[immobileyes]

[ Adorable... precious?? THIS IS HARD ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH???? ]

I'm not really trying to be scary, though...

nam soon.

[compossible]

[It's rough for you to be normal and not an anime, isn't it..... Elcia nods thoughtfully, mulling that over.]

And yet you're still here...

I commend you for your adaptation to the weird and bizarre, and also the hidden depths that you must have to still be alive.

[unpresidential]

I can't die just because things are weird.

[he may not know what the hell he wants to do with his life, but he knows for sure he can't give up.]

It's weird because it's real... [it's not like he hasn't heard of most of these concepts, but they're usually just in anime and movies and stuff!]

zero.

[compossible]

...Well. That's not what I meant, but you're not wrong.

[probably. Despite everything, Elcia doesn't do a lot of killing, but she doesn't much care if someone does.]

You make it sound like that sort of thing happens to you a lot.

[blacksong]

Way too fucking much. [HEAVY SIGHING, who knew anyone could be so talkative when they were fighting for their life.] Consider yourself lucky if it hasn't happened to you.

nice.

[compossible]

[......... are you really

But she just looks him over for a bit before nodding and dismissing him.]

Oh, I see. You're lazy.

[aha.]

im crying

[topscores]

[......wow]

I call it people watching, but most people would call it being lazy.

[At least he's self aware about what other people would say...but he doesn't really care what other people think!!! Well ok he cares about what two people think but they're not here so yolo]

malia.

[compossible]

That's what I said.

[Don't mind if she does, it's delicious and sugary and she still shivers thinking about Pedoe.]

It gets worse when you realize he had 444 children.

[scenting]

[ malia gives a firm shake of her head. nope. ]

Now you're just lying.

[ she sees you eating her dough. she'll sigh and give her the whole plate, they can just get more instead. ]

heung soo.

[compossible]

[what if she wants to spread weird rumors that he likes to wear dresses--]

You're pretty enough for it.

[But it's just a tossed out comment AND MOVING ON. She waves a hand at the...everything around them...]

I was not really sure where you could find a clothing store in a place like this. The singing reindeer couldn't tell me the way either.

[said so...dryly...]

[unathletic]

[ DENIED...

But wait, what. Are we just going to let that pretty comment slide?! What is up with this girl. What is up with girls in general is a question that Heung Soo still thinks about a whole lot and will never be able to answer, but what is up with this particular chick... ]

Yah. [ At least it's not as intense of a yah!!!! as it could be, but still, sit down, Elcia.. ] Do you think it's surprising they won't tell you the way when you look and act like that?

[ Don't make Mom Soo teach you manners. ]
