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 ❅

//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.

[HIDE... No... She's not equipped to be his friendly neighborhood, ghoul babysitter for this evening. That's Kaneki's job??? Oh, man. His reaction throws her off so much, because she didn't expect him to be this whiny over it.]

H-Haa...? [How much has he been eating, that the vendors are cutting him off?!] Nagachika-san, how much food have you bought?

[Is he going to burn a hole in her hard-earned cash...]
scaryintuition: ([touka])

[personal profile] scaryintuition 2015-03-29 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[The very fact that he has to stop and think about all the food he's burned through should be her first clue.]

I've only had ten hot dogs, two pizzas, five ice cream cones, and three cotton candies.

[He looks at her as if this is perfectly normal behavior.]

You have to help me Touka-chan.

[Yeaaaaaahhhhhh, no. No, dude. She's going to have to agree with the vendors on this one. She may not be human, but she sure as heck knows eating that amount of food can't be healthy. Don't humans get sick from this?]

You're serious. [She's so gobsmacked. Like, HOW.] If you've had that much, shouldn't that be enough? You must be stuffed by now.
scaryintuition: (pic#8956453)

[personal profile] scaryintuition 2015-03-29 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[His expression has a remarkable resemblance to a wounded puppy. Why doesn't anyone understand that he can't stop eating right now? It's not enough. His stomach is still urging him to eat more and more.]

It's not enough. [His tone is very firm, followed by a loud growl from his stomach to underscore his point.]
ukakus: ( official art: manga ) (088)

[personal profile] ukakus 2015-03-31 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well. That sound gets her to s l o w l y raise both eyebrows at him, because there's no way someone could still be hungry after eating that ridiculous amount of food. She wonders if this could be considered binge-eating—except she's pretty sure stomachs don't usually growl in that case.

This is weird.]


...I'll buy you a hot dog and [uh] a drink, but you're paying me back. Even if you get sick, I expect every last credit back.

[Please let this be enough............]

[personal profile] scaryintuition 2015-04-02 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[His mouth breaks into a huge grin and he nods excitedly. He's so happy he looks like he might even go in for a hug. Prepare yourself Touka.

Whether the hug is a success or failure, he's going to latch onto one of her arms and begin tugging her towards one of the vendor carts. About half way there he's hit with a strong smell. Blood.

While they happen to be only a few feet away from the roller coaster, where bruised and bleeding people are quickly making their exits, the smell wouldn't have usually been able to bother him.

He comes to sudden halt, his face scrunching up.]


Ugh. Do you smell that?
ukakus: ( official art: manga ) (064)

[personal profile] ukakus 2015-04-03 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's too busy being weirded out by all of this, so the hug is a success, even if she's tense as hell during it. He's lucky he isn't Kaneki, because invading her personal space alone is grounds for a good punch in the shoulder. Alas, he's a squishy human being as far as she's concerned, so he's spared from any bruised arms or broken bones. It's truly a Christmas miracle........

That said, the scent of blood hits her hard as soon as they're near the roller coaster, but she's sure it shouldn't be that strong a scent to a human. This is exactly why she's a teeny bit surprised when he looks so bothered by it.]


...Smell what, exactly? [Haha... No heightened senses over here. But she does throw a wary glance at the people exiting the roller coaster. She may or may not have already gotten on there, so that "wary glance" may actually be more of a glare.] Do you smell something odd, Nagachika-san?

[His instincts, of course, are completely spot-on. Not only is she surprised, but she's completely and utterly confused. Aogiri? Teaming up with Tsukiyama? A raid on someone's lab? It's all nonsense to her. He might as well have been speaking gibberish, for what it's worth. He probably won't even have to turn and see the expression on her face to know what she's thinking, because she falters in her step for a moment as soon as she finishes hearing him.]

...What? [She's thrown off. No—beyond thrown off, and her steps get a little quicker. She sticks a little closer to him because she's not sure if she heard that right, or if this is some stupid elaborate joke.] What the hell are you going on about...? Acting like I should know all of this? Of course I don't remember anything about that!

[Because it didn't happen. Strange events like that couldn't have happened, if she didn't remember them... Right? Well, no. She knows that isn't true. She's been here long enough to know that, but that doesn't mean she has to accept it.]
dimidiampura: (▷ Endless but nearing a stop.)

[personal profile] dimidiampura 2015-03-30 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ Initially, confusing her was not his intention but when he gets that kind of reaction, it confirms what's been on his mind and Kaneki hesitates visibly. Had something in her code been tampered with when CERES 'brought' her here before him? The thought isn't a nice one by any means so he attempts to push it aside to focus on the damage he's already done.

Once they're out, Kaneki turns to face her with a bit of sadness in his eyes that he's unable to hide from showing as he regards her. ]


I'm... not sure why it is that you don't remember, but... all of that happened after Banjou came to Anteiku that day. There's more to it but... I can try and explain it all when we're not in this park if you'd like.

[ Part of him half expects her to get mad at him or something, his mind piecing together from what she said into what she must remember last. Mainly that since she mentioned Banjou or didn't even remotely remember anything he said, it must have been around the time the man came to the shop looking for Rize, but before Ayato and Yamori came and everything changed for him.

He still remembers that day, too. Making quite an impression in managing to knock out Banjou with such little, unintentional effort which had really made him surprised back then. Now, the man and him had become acquaintances since then and a world of events had occurred inbetween then and now that seemed so long ago. ]
ukakus: ( official art: manga ) (021)

[personal profile] ukakus 2015-04-02 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[If she'd like? He's an idiot. A total, complete fucking idiot. The way that's phrased does little to calm her down, but it sure as hell does a lot to piss her off. She cannot believe he's phrasing that like this is something optional. Like her learning what in the world he's talking about is something she can skip on if she feels like it. Like this information isn't even necessary.

Her hands are balled into fists at her side, and it's not easy to miss the way she clenches her jaw for a moment. This is stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid and annoying as all hell. If she weren't trying so hard to keep her cool, she would have punched him in the face already. The urge is pretty strong, honestly.]


Idiot. [All but hissing that word out. He doesn't get to talk to her like that, not even if he's like this.] Once we're out of this park, you're telling me everything you know. And don't you dare leave anything out, you dumbass.
dimidiampura: (▷ So I could do it on my own.)

[personal profile] dimidiampura 2015-04-03 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ In his mind he figured he was just being nice as usual, but when he gets that kind of reaction it's more than a little surprising. Making Kaneki really and entirely realize how out of touch he'd been with her and the huge difference it made with what she remembered and what he did. Yes, he realized that it was going to likely make her mad but everything else still stood and it had been enough to earn a genuinely surprised look from him.

She was trying so hard, wasn't she?

A part of him wonders that if he was better at faking happy smiles and been able to act like the 'old' him when he met with her again, if she would have been less irritated and mad at him. He's ridiculously broken and distanced from everyone he knew; a bad decision on his part but at the time he really figured that was the best for everyone even if now it seemed more of a selfish decision that hurt him and the others around him in the process. ]


Understood. [ A pause lingers and there's something almost like exhaustion that shows on his face afterward. ] I know if I even remotely tried to lie or leave even the smallest thing out, you'd probably hit me.

[ A memory flashes across his mind and it brings a faint, but almost genuine smile as his expression seems to soften. This was definitely why she'd hit him that last time back home, her words back then ringing through his head firmly. Perhaps maybe... he could try and fix things, somehow. ]

...ah... perhaps I really am an idiot for thinking that way, before. It's... not just my world but... ours that this is about.
ukakus: ( official art: manga ) (057)

[personal profile] ukakus 2015-04-04 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[At this point, she's so irritated by all of this that anything he says is likely to further piss her off. Even if he suddenly started acting like the "old" Kaneki—knowing her? That would only serve to offend her. Nobody said her temper was rational, after all. Being thrown into incomprehensible situations like this one just makes it worse.]

Haa... [Who even says understood these days? What is she, his drill sergeant? She keeps the commentary to herself, though, and opts to cross her arms and scoff.] Damn right I am. I'll beat the hell out of you, got it?

[She's... pretty sure he got it. But saying this sort of thing feels normal, and as someone who sorely needs normalcy right now, she takes it. Too bad "normal" for her involves insulting remarks.]

Right. So if you understand that much... stop screwing around.
dimidiampura: (▷ Remembering who I had been.)

[personal profile] dimidiampura 2015-04-08 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ Her idea of normalcy ties in to nostalgia for him to when there'd been happiness and everyone at Anteiku had been alright. This was a nice feeling, lighting a strange warmth in him he thought he'd lost previously before arriving here. As despite the threat of what happened in the funhouse not long ago, it wasn't the same kind of danger as he'd been experiencing at home and he never thought he would ever get - or deserve - to talk to Touka again like this.

Quietly Kaneki then nodded to show that he really did get it; her point had gotten across in it's own way loud and clear. She had a tendency to not muddle her intentions and this was likely a bit much to register all at once in such a short time plus his unusual appearance and words that left her confused after already going through the things in this park like before. ]


I won't be able to stop right away but... I will try not to.

[ Touka was entirely free to believe him or not, but he was being as sincere as he would ever be, a touch more life and energy in his eyes compared to what they'd been when he reunited with her initially. No, things would never be completely fixed but it didn't mean he wouldn't try to somewhat attempt to make things right again. ]

I'd... like us to have a talk over coffee sometime once we're out of here, Touka. You've probably spent some time here before me and can tell me more about it, but that's only if you're not busy.

[ Now all that remained was for him to try and get into the routine of how to do all of this without her hitting him but it wasn't just magically going to be the same so easily. Not without a lot of work. ]

[She should probably keep a calendar just so she can keep track of this sort of stuff, but as she doesn't, she has to think for a second or two before giving him an answer. This is why calendars don't become obsolete once there are no exams or assignments to stress over, kids.]

I've been here for a month, give or take a week. [She... thinks........ Maybe it's better if she doesn't keep track of the days, just so she doesn't end up getting frustrated.] You'll meet others who have been here for a longer time than I have, though.

So this really has been going on a while, huh? [He had wondered. He had recognized that not everyone had just arrived pretty quickly, but he had honestly been curious as to how long some people had been there. At least a couple months, so that's something. It's more than he was told by CERES, anyway.]

Has there been any progress? With reviving any worlds?

[he just wants to know. Again, CERES wasn't exactly forthcoming with information during the powerpoint. All he knew were the basics, and even then, he didn't know if he trusted that. They said they were trying to save everything, so now he's curious: had they? Besides those there, had they really accomplished anything?]
ukakus: ( official art: manga ) (038)

[personal profile] ukakus 2015-04-04 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Progress? [Yeahhhhhh... This is one of those times where she can't help but to scoff. "Progress" is just about the opposite of what has happened here. They're completely stuck as far as she's concerned. It's only been a little over a month, but she already feels like she's wasting away with all of CERES' bs.]

Like hell there has been. The last time I heard anything about getting our worlds back was when I arrived. [Which explains her reaction. Bad news for him, if he was expecting anything other than this.] I haven't heard anything about that since.
