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.

[THE FLATTEST OF EXPRESSIONS >:'( and after he went through all that trouble to locate a cardboard box and a marker too!1]

Just because ghosts don't deter you doesn't mean they aren't gonna deter someone else. And if you think you can do so much better-- [with a scoff, Kaito leans against he wall, arms folded over his torso] -- then how would you put it?
flamberge: (mentor {when a man loves a woman})

[personal profile] flamberge 2015-03-29 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[don't scoff at him for saying what everyone is thinking! it's an act of kindness!! just with an asshole twist. and kratos continues displaying this kindness by flatly offering a suggestion.]

'Warning: this attraction is malfunctioning and may result in death' gets the point across effectively enough.

[see? way less crazy sounding and it took less than a second to think of!]
Edited 2015-03-29 03:42 (UTC)
carptricks: (And it's magic)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-29 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[that elicits a scoff from Kaito]

Booooring. Way too clinical. Where's your sense of imagination?

[not everyone has the same dramatic flair you do Kaito]
flamberge: (thespian {brb jumping out this window})

[personal profile] flamberge 2015-03-31 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[bah. imagination is for 5 year olds. and kratos is beginning to think he's talking to one.]

Isn't the goal to warn people of danger as opposed to displaying your childish sense of creativity?
carptricks: (From ten thousand lightning bugs)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-31 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[maturity is not what kaito strives for, it is true]

Duh, but that doesn't mean I have to be clinical about it. Especially if I get the point across just fine this way.

What d'you have against people referring to monsters as ghosts, anyway?
flamberge: (angel {i am not amused})

[personal profile] flamberge 2015-04-03 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Aside from ghosts shattering credibility, you have no idea whether or not those were ghosts, or even monsters, to begin with.

[logical thought!! not creative, but hard to argue!]
carptricks: (If my dreams get real bizarre)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-04-03 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[another eyebrow quirk from Kaito]

It doesn't shatter credibility, even if I don't actually know what was actually in there. Even people who don't believe in ghosts or monsters can understand the gist of what is says.

[jabs his marker at the sign]

As long as people understand "it's dangerous," it's fine!
flamberge: (thespian {well. damn.})

[personal profile] flamberge 2015-04-05 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Have you considered people thinking your sign is part of the attraction and it drawing them in as opposed to keeping them away?

[JUST SAYING. ghosts sound fun and just part of the show!]
carptricks: (Cause I feel like)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-04-06 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Right, because a handmade sign talking about ghosts posted in front of a Christmas-themed funhouse is definitely part of the attraction.

[SO MUCH SARCASM. but with an unintelligible grumble, he rips the sign from the wall, flips it over, and starts writing on it again]

Some people are so hard to please. . .
flamberge: (angel {i am not amused})

[personal profile] flamberge 2015-04-09 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Not all worlds have the same holidays so people can and do end up believing so.

[said in the most grumpy I AM NOT IMPRESSED BY THAT SARCASM tone. he also hears that grumble but makes no comment. what a little brat. 8|]
carptricks: (Cause your favorite shade)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-04-09 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[LITTLE BRAT INDEED]

Are you always this grumpy?

[doesn't look up from his sign as he continues to scrawl something on top of it]
flamberge: (thespian {oh please})

[personal profile] flamberge 2015-04-12 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
The fact you dislike logical reasoning does not make those who use it grumpy.

[the answer is yes, kaito, he is always this grumpy.]
carptricks: (From ten thousand lightning bugs)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-04-12 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
So.

That's a yes.

[yeah he's not letting that one slide]

And I don't dislike logical reasoning. It has it's place in the world.
flamberge: (angel {i am not amused})

[personal profile] flamberge 2015-04-12 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
[kratos sighs, forever in denial about his own grumpiness.]

Just not where it could actually be useful.
carptricks: (Cause your favorite shade)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-04-12 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
[it's okay kaito will take any chance he can get to remind him]

Ooooi. Don't make assumptions. My first sign was perfectly logical.

[just a little more embellished than kratos's version]
flamberge: (thespian {well. damn.})

[personal profile] flamberge 2015-04-12 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh please do! it'll make kratos so very happy, i'm sure.]

You find jumping to paranormal conclusions logical?

[he'd hate to see what kaito's definition of illogical is if that's the case.]
carptricks: (and I should have known)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-04-12 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[HEAVES A SIGH. and lifts a hand to rub irately at his temples]

It's not about the fact I used the word "ghost" to describe. . . [he lifts a hand and gestures towards the funhouse] Whatever it was that attacked me in there. They could be ghosts, they could be people in masks, they could be robots, they could be monsters-- who the heck knows?

It's the fact that I put up a warning at all and is this even that important anymore? I'm changing the stupid sign, anyway.

[clearly his annoyance had reached a peak]
flamberge: (thespian {oh please})

[personal profile] flamberge 2015-04-14 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
[make that two annoyances have reached a peak. kratos is just as done, sighing at that last bit of commentary. has nothing he said been heard or has it just been ignored?]

As I've said before, a poor attempt is the same as no attempt.

[with that happy note, kratos turns to walk off. the kid IS changing the sign, hopefully to something less idiotic, and that's enough.]
carptricks: (when I walk alone)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-04-14 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
It's just a sign, anyway!

[like a MATURE INDIVIDUAL Kaito sticks his tongue out at Kratos as he leaves, and then flips the sign over and leans it against the wall]
