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)

PLEASE DON'T RUN ❅
COME BAAAAACK, VISITOR ❅"

//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.

It sounds more like a snake--

[ BUT YOU KILL THAT CUSHION, SHIHO!! ]
good_ideas: (oh god || Hang in there Minamoto!)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2015-03-28 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a snake ghost?!

[Why didn't this snake just....die normally? What kind of unfinished business could the ghost of a snake even have?!]

What do you want, you freak of a ghost!!

[Because being a ghost meant you could automatically understand human language, right.]
immobileyes: (Did that hamster just talk?)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2015-03-29 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
You can talk to ghosts??

[ SHIHO YOU'RE SO COOL IN THIS ALARMING SITUATION WHERE THE SEAT WON'T SHUT UP-- ]
good_ideas: (geez || TMI)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2015-03-30 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Shiho belatedly realises that she cannot, in fact, talk to ghosts.]

Well! No! But I don't have a better idea!!

[Help, Mary! Or Kaoru! Or Minamoto! Or anyone!!

Shiho feels like crying, holding onto Mary tighter because at least Mary wasn't a ghost. The seat bucks underneath her and when she gets out of here she's going to bulldoze this stupid Ferris wheel and then set the remains on fire before building it up and bulldozing it again till she felt better.]
immobileyes: (You're really tiny and it's AWKWARD)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2015-03-30 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... Wow, Shiho, tell the Ferris Wheel how you really feel.

But Mary's still clinging like a fluffy-haired barnacle, and that's... when the light returns, and the seat is just that.

INNOCUOUS. ]


... W-what now?
good_ideas: (geez || when I figure this out...)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2015-03-30 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Shiho has to blink as the light returns and her eyes adjust. It sure...looked like there was nothing wrong now.

She doesn't believe it though and frees one hand, placing it against the wall. And again, nothing. Except for the memory of her scared senseless but she was sure no one else would see that. Especially not because she was planning on destroying this stupid Ferris wheel.]


I don't know. But everything's normal again.

[She was just as confused, as the Ferris wheel slowly starts to move again, continuing the rest of the arc.]

This doesn't make any sense.
immobileyes: (The prelude to a concussion)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2015-03-31 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Is that how ghosts act? I've only sort of met one, and it was a lot... louder. And scary.

[ Not that this wasn't sort of alarming. ]
good_ideas: (geez || This takes me back)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2015-04-01 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
It's how they act in movies. [The ones she was dragged/tricked into watching.]

And in those creepy shows about haunted places. I've never met one in real life.

[Because she would have freaked out and destroyed the world by now if that were the case.]
immobileyes: (There's the man who touched me)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2015-04-01 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
You're lucky. I wouldn't want to watch things about them, either.
good_ideas: (geez || This takes me back)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2015-04-01 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Right? I can't believe that people actually enjoy watching stuff like that.

[How do they even go to sleep at night? Or wander the dark hallways that led to the bathroom by themselves? Shiho shudders as she tries to imagine it.]
immobileyes: (I'm trying to save your life asshole)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2015-04-02 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
People can be weird.

[ A truer statement has never been spoken. ]
good_ideas: (geez || just when it was getting good)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2015-04-02 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
That's true.

[They could be, and Shiho knew this because she'd read quite a lot of them.

The Ferris Wheel starts to slow as they near the ground.]
]
immobileyes: (Fuck him up!)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2015-04-03 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
Ah-- I think we can get off soon!

[ THANK THE LORD. ]
good_ideas: (geez || when I figure this out...)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2015-04-03 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shiho isn't as thankful as Mary is, mostly because psychometers are as a whole extremely distrustful and petty. She'll believe they can actually get off once both of them touch solid ground again.]

Looks like it. When we get down, you get off first, okay?
immobileyes: (Not equipped to handle life)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2015-04-04 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
... We can't get off at the same time?

[ what do you mean she can't cling to Shiho like a life preserver-- ]
good_ideas: (neutral || just stating the facts)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2015-04-04 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[That surprises her, and for a moment Shiho says nothing before she smiles as reassuringly as she can.]

I'll be okay if they try anything else, so I want to make sure you're safe first.

[And a smaller part of it was that she didn't want anyone behind her, just in case. She didn't have anything against Mary (especially as the girl seemed genuine from the bit she'd been able to read) but she'd learned long ago that it was always better safe than sorry.]
immobileyes: (Let's look at the door)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2015-04-05 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
A... all right. [ She'll just trust in her words-- and once it's safe to hop down, she'll slowly release Shiho and jump off.

GOD BLESS SOLID GROUND RIGHT NOW. ]
good_ideas: (geez || when I figure this out...)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2015-04-05 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shiho watches to make sure Mary is safe before she hops off, too.

Thank goodness that was over. She turns to watch the Ferris wheel resume its regular movements, and imagines how great it'll look as a pile of rubble. Some day, you useless Ferris wheel.

She gives Mary a smile.]


You okay?
immobileyes: (You're really tiny and it's AWKWARD)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2015-04-06 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
I... think I miss rollercoasters.

[ Much less alarming. ]
good_ideas: (neutral || just stating the facts)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2015-04-07 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[There's no way for her to comfort anyone without resorting to touching them with her hand...so instead she does the next best thing which is to try to catch Mary's eye with hers, keeping her voice kind.]

I think it might have been worse if we were on a rollercoaster. Those things move fast, you know?
immobileyes: The following shall be known as I will never use bloopers as keywords again (That's the end)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2015-04-07 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
I-I know... [ And she slowly meets Shiho's eyes. ] But I like that. It's fun.

Then again, if there were snake ghosts there...
good_ideas: (geez || This takes me back)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2015-04-07 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Welp, time to stay away from the rollercoasters too.]

Well...Th-They couldn't put snake ghosts on a rollercoaster anyway. They're too fast.

Snakes are slow.
immobileyes: (What's a siscon?)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2015-04-08 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
That's true... but I'm glad you were here for this one.
good_ideas: (happy || with my friends)
