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.

Welcome to CEREALIA's latest intro post For your convenience, we have compiled a post detailing what's going on right here and feel free to consult the FAQ if needed. Please leave any lingering questions in the OOC post, and we'll answer them as soon as we can. If this post goes into overflow, we will make a new one to deal with the ever-hated captcha! Worry not!

I GOT GOT BY THE HOVER MENU IGNORE THAT

[Being a chatty shit comes in handy sometimes...!

Though he's probably not as helpful as one might hope. He shakes his head at the first question, lips pursing briefly. It's definitely frustrating, running into a brick wall by way of progress.]


Not that I've heard. A while back there was a gathering for people to share the things they knew, but none of it gave us a lot of insight. And rebellion...

[THAT'S a surprisingly tough question to answer, since Oz doesn't know, but has a pretty good gut feeling that one is on the way or already in the works thanks to the many tinhats around.]

I think people are still holding out hope for negotiation and cooperation right now.
defeets: (» i know a lot about bad decisions)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-28 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Being a chatty shit is very helpful and Jae-ha's really not about to stop Oz at any moment. This is kind of how he gathers information - just by naturally pulling questions and carrying along and not stopping people when they feel like talking.

It seems to be working and Oz has officially won himself a spot on Jae-ha's List of People to Talk To when it comes to things like that.

Though he does raise a brow slowly at that pause before offering a curious smile.]


Do you think that people are still holding out hope? Or is that what you'd personally like to see?

[The pause makes him wonder a bit.]
harepiece: (no can do captain)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-29 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Oz wins the award... What award is this?? HE'S STILL WON IT, THOUGH. No one can stop him from claiming the chattiest person in Cereal throne.

But the answer to that question comes without a pause of any sort, at least.]


Both! [No point in lying there...] I'd prefer it if we could do something without putting anyone here at risk... But that isn't the way things always work, right? There are so many different people here that I'm sure some disagree with being more pacifistic.
defeets: (» talk to the left cause you ain't right)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-30 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Well... Jae-ha just shakes his head at that. No, he understands. It's not unlike Awa. Even if they have problems with how things are, if they battle it out too close to the city then there will definitely be problems to be had. He has no interest in seeing innocent civilians get hurt, as antsy as he is to see change.]

There's nothing wrong with being pacifistic as long as you aren't blind to the problems or the more efficient solutions.

The only thing that matters is making sure that those solutions are more efficient. It seems like we've got quite a diverse group of people here at least. We may as well make sure that the more capable ones are able to handle things on behalf of those who aren't quite so skilled.
harepiece: (you heathens)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-30 09:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Oz has heard a lot of that - more of it than usual lately (for good reason) - so it makes him smile a little more softly. People who warn the pacifistic and optimistic nerds in the group against taking those traits too far are usually pretty well-meaning...

Also potentially reformed serial killers, but hey, what can you do.]


Things seem to be going that way, at least. Even with its flaws, this city isn't so bad when it comes to the people in it.

[EVERYTHING ELSE, ON THE OTHER HAND--]
defeets: (» so many hot guys)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-04-05 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
Well... yes, that does tend to be the case when you fortunately catch a place in the early stages of corruption before the ugliness spreads.

[it almost sounds as though he's familiar with it]
harepiece: (it's been years)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-04-05 09:31 am (UTC)(link)
[HOW VERY ODD--

No, but Oz doesn't seem very surprised to hear that kind of progression of logic either. For such a peppy and optimistic kid, he sure isn't offended by the harsher cruelties of reality. Still...]


I'd like to think that even when the rough times hit, this will be a group that can recover.
defeets: (» talk to the left cause you ain't right)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-04-07 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah, well that much manages to earn a smile from Jae-ha.]

That's optimistic of you.

[Especially considering the fact that they've covered that they know.... very.... little.....

He's curious. Why?]
harepiece: (always cheats at uno)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-04-08 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
