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.

I fear that they don't seem terribly invested in hiding their intentions. At least, to this degree. I suppose I'd have to be blind not to realize.

[ surprise, though.. is that good surprise or bad surprise? perhaps she's watching her figure? he knows something about diets just from being around people for so long, but it's still a slightly strange concept to him. still, she accepts, so he releases it into her fingers with another smile. ] Ah-- don't feel obligated, though. [ just.. so she knows that he won't be offended. ] I'm just endlessly fascinated with food, I suppose. A great deal of it is still very new to me. [ being.. a sword and all.

still, he's happy to try his own piece, expression lighting up with interest and delight. it's doughy and sweet and a bit greasy, but altogether pleasant. he can't imagine eating an entire plate of it like some other people are doing, but it's not bad in small amounts. ]


.. I do think I still like chocolate better.
souredsweet: breadcrusts (bitches get stitches)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-03-29 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
It's one of the only things that they're transparent about, and I still doubt that they would admit to it if asked directly.

[Accompanied by a smile, though it's a bit wry this time. CERES... Can't trust them as far as they can be thrown.

But the reassurance that he won't be offended is met with a nod. The politeness is appreciated, if nothing else!]


There should be no shortage of foods for you to try here, at the very least. With so many different countries and worlds represented, I would bet that you could try something new every day if you wanted. [Things that are probably better than fried dough!! Because Kaoru is a life-hating punk who can't enjoy the good things Cerealia has to offer, like funnel cakes.

Still, after Souza takes a bite, Kaoru follows suit and samples a little piece too.]


Oh— my, the inside is much softer than I expected. It's pleasant, isn't it? A little too sweet for me, but the texture is nice. [A decisive nod! u ok, funnel cake.]

What sort of chocolate have you tried so far?
prehensible: (when he set our broken wings)

[personal profile] prehensible 2015-03-30 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ he breathes out a laugh at that. it's hard to imagine that there are that many kinds of food in the world. humans really are terribly imaginative, it seems. ] I've learned that I enjoy cooking, so it would be nice to try new recipes. I suppose it's a bit strange, a blade taking comfort in domestic chores, but perhaps it comes of being a prize for so long.

[ who knows. he does like keeping busy, though, and he'll take an interest in pretty much any sort of task if it sufficiently keeps his mind off troubling thoughts.

kaoru's comment earns another smile, glad that she doesn't hate it. he has to agree that it's definitely too sweet, but he thinks for him that has less to do with its actual sweetness and more to do with the fact that he still hasn't had many sweet things yet, so he's still adjusting to them. ]


Ah-- [ a blink then. ] Well, saniwa-sama brought little cakes in once for us to try. And Tenka-san introduced me to chocolate covered.. cookies? And there were caramels with chocolate coating them. [ he taps his mouth thoughtfully. ] .. They're quite good in small amounts.

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-03-30 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
You do? [WHAT A COINKYDINK, Kaoru spends Too Much Time in the kitchen, too!] I don't find it strange... Cooking is soothing for many different people, no matter who or what they are, isn't that so? Perhaps we could trade recipes at some point.

[Tag-team cooking between a sword and a demon, what a perfect combo.

But there's a name Kaoru recognizes - and isn't surprised by at all, because Tenka networks at the speed of light without even trying.]


You've met Tenka-san already? [A smile!] He does seem to be fond of sweets... A cookie like that almost sounds too decadent.

["Small amounts" is right... Kaoru doesn't even like certain fruits that are too sugary, something like that would probably spell out death.]
prehensible: (we are just figurines)

[personal profile] prehensible 2015-04-01 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
I'd like that very much. [ he warms at the offer, hands curling together. ] I'm still learning, but I think I'm getting fairly accomplished at it.

[ that kitchen will never be the same.

ah! so she knows tenka, too. goodness, he does talk to a lot of people, doesn't he? ]


I have, yes. My brother and I are staying with him. He and Sousei-san were kind enough to open their home to us, even without claiming us. It was.. very unexpected. [ a beat, though, and he hums out one of his quiet, breathy laughs. ] As for the cookie, I think one would be plenty. But I think it would be a nice treat every now and then.
souredsweet: cupnoodles (THANKS NERD)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-04-01 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
If you would like to try making something together at some point as well, I would also like that. I have a number of friends who enjoy cooking and spending time in the kitchen with them is always enjoyable.

[SO ENJOYABLE being stuck in a small place with multiple people... So, so enjoyable...

But judging by the smile alone, it seems like something Kaoru really is looking forward to!]


Is that so? Tenka-san has always been a very kind person. You can expect more things like that from him during your time there, I'm certain. Ah, but it's a good thing if both you and Soramaru-san are around. You can ensure that he isn't eating a poor diet.

[A diet of dino chicken nuggets and cookies, for example...]
