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.

[ Is Sousei's hair ever out of place, though? ]

Yes, some of the encounters have been more... annoying than life-threatening.

[ A pause, and then she elaborates. It's not the most dignified of stories but maybe he'll appreciate it regardless or, at least, will commiserate. (Maybe he'll laugh. That'd be nice, making him laugh. Pyrrha doubts it, oddly enough.) ]

Another lonely trash can tried to follow me out of a fun house and knocked me into the person in front of me. I think it felt abandoned.

[In one chapter out of 29.

But he definitely doesn't laugh; in fact, he looks as lineface as ever, and it's hard to say if he's doing anything but take her story completely seriously (he is. taking it solely seriously, but the image is a little amusing.)]


I see. You appear to attract these sorts of robots.

[for...some reason...]

You do not need to humor them, though.

[ Well, she is a walking magnet. Suddenly, Pyrrha feels sufficiently relieved she never fought against Torchwick's giant mecha alongside Team RWBY. ]

Oh, I usually don't.

[ They're still there, though. Annoying! ]

I do my best to send them away and hope they don't bother anyone else.

[There are some things he doesn't understand yet about her......

But after a considering pause, he just nods at that. So long as she tries and seems to be fine, he doesn't feel the need to interfere.]


Have you settled in well enough in this place?

[in the short period of time you were here between movie theaters and getting shoved on a bus...]

Yeah, it's pretty easy once you learn the basics.

[ Like so many things occasionally trying to kill you.

Since he asked, she’ll elaborate tinily. Nothing too revealing, however; he likely doesn’t wish to know the ins and outs of her new life here. ]


My friend Jaune is living with me. [ You remember him, right? He works as an accidental stripper and slobbered all over you like a puppy with a glandular disorder... ] It’ll probably be easier to make the rent if both of us chip in. Neither of us have ever really been on our own before.

[ From her parents, to schooling in Mistral, to Beacon... Complete self-sufficiency is new, even to her. Even if she tries her best not to show it. ]
deontology: (XX.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-30 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[.... Jaune........ Ah yes he remembers that name. Slowly, he nods. He doesn't think...Jaune will be very helpful when it comes to learning how to handle living on their own, somehow.

Just a hunch.]


... I see. You are sensible. It will not be difficult.

[He's got some faith in her.

.. ... ... okay but--]


Jaune. Blond, wields a sword? [For a vague definition of "wields".]
reuser: (46)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-31 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Her expression brightens tinily but her tone is a bit more knowing, with no small amount of what did he do? mixed in. ]

Yeah, that’s him.
deontology: (LXX.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-31 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[...hm. Interesting. He doesn't miss the change in her expression--or in her tone.

But all he has to say is--]


I have met him.

[But his tone is perfectly calm and stoic as ever, so it's hard to say just how badly that meeting went (pretty badly).]
reuser: (17)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-03-31 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Pyrrha draws in a breath (quite a feat in a corset that is possibly made of bone armor) before putting it all on the line - ]

I hope it was a... pleasant encounter!

[ From the upward pitch in her tone, it's clear that Pyrrha doubts it. ]
deontology: (I.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-04-01 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
[......yeah. Yeah, he can tell that she doubts it, and she's right. But nonetheless, he has no interest in dragging Jaune's name through the mud in any way. What happened between them will stay between them, even though it's Pyrrha.]

He was overeager to learn. Do you train with him?
reuser: (15)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-04-02 09:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ Without hesitating, Pyrrha nods, sharp and certain. ] Yeah. When I first met him, he was a bit behind the rest of us.

[ That's speaking mildly. From Pyrrha's wording, one can assume that "train with him" is a kind substitute for building up his combat skills from a fair bit of foundation and a lot of eager determination. She's teaching as much as anything. ]

He tries his best, though, and has improved significantly since we first started. -- He gets better every day.

[ That said - from a purely challenging stand point? Sparring with him is still a little boring. She does it because Jaune, and she'd do anything to help him, but it hardly gives her a chance to exercise her skills. Most of the time, she's going at half-speed, using her weapons for only one purpose when they can serve multiple simultaneously.

(Mental Note™: find new sparring partners in Cerealia.) ]

[... That's Jaune at "has improved significantly". He doesn't wince, but it's only because he's a little too composed for that sort of thing. He must really have been hopeless before Pyrrha got her hands on him. Nonetheless... he understands, in a way. He saw Jaune's eagerness for himself.

He's cheeky, and a bit of a disaster, but he's not hopeless.]


I see. [And Pyrrha holds herself in a different manner to Jaune--in the way of a warrior.] You do not get proper practice in that way, however.

[It's a statement of fact; he doesn't have to ask to know that much. He'll get back to Jaune--for now, this is shifting to be about Pyrrha.]
reuser: (46)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-04-04 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ It feels a disservice to her partner to admit aloud, but - yes. Sousei is absolutely right, and Pyrrha suspects it’s half-written on her face before she even opens her mouth to confirm or deny. ]

It can move a bit slow for me.
deontology: (XXI.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-04-04 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[He.......doesn't want to....offer...

No, that's not true. He does want to offer. He wants to offer to someone who has clearly proven herself to be the sort of stand-up, hard-working person he tends to prefer. She's not cheeky, she's not sassy, she's obedient but strong and willing to think for herself.

... Jaune is going to come with her, isn't he.

He's going to end up with two ducklings like this.]


... That is not enough, then. It is well and good to help him improve, but you must also test your limits to continue improving as well.

I will test them for you, should you be willing. [they can practice--and Sousei is confident enough in his own fighting to know he can teach her things.

why is he signing up for this, he's not even sure anymore.]
reuser: (45)

[personal profile] reuser 2015-04-09 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Happily, with a glad twinge to her smile, Pyrrha draws herself up. She rarely stands anything less than completely straight to begin with, so the change is near imperceptible, but a thing born of pride regardless. ]

I’d be honoured to have your help.

[ END SCENE. ]
