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!

["Nice"... he hadn't really considered it, but it's admittedly just something that he knows that wouldn't involve working too much for the city.

After all, he doesn't think they deserve to have him work for them to that extent. He's definitely not going to give his loyalty or services to a city or a company he doesn't trust.]


... It is not difficult, no.

[...art...director...]

You are not familiar with any of your job suggestions?
faithfulflame: (Rei Downcast)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-30 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[She sort of scowls, looking down at the the ground a bit.]

No. I'm not. The suggestions were a shooting gallery director...which I assume involves guns. I know how to use a bow, but not a gun. Kyūdō is an art, but guns? and I've never worked with art.

[A blush.]

The other suggestion was a swimsuit model. I know what that is, but it feels inappropriate, somehow.
deontology: (XX.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-30 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
[.....ah.

Yeah he can figure that out enough to know that that is pretty inappropriate.]


Do not take any job you find humiliating. They are merely suggestions, not hard rules. You may always find another job.

[A pause.]

If you are not against the others, perhaps give them an attempt to see if they suit. If not, there is undoubtedly some other job you can do that will suit you better.
faithfulflame: (Rei Kimono Pensive)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-30 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[She wouldn't ordinarily be against the idea of wearing a swimsuit and using the fact that people found her attractive to make money. She definitely abused her looks for drinks and favors at home, but she was more in command of herself there.

Here? With the gifts and everything else? She's not. Pictures of her could end up anywhere, and she's not stupid enough to give CERES ammunition to humiliate her further.]


I'll...try the art director, honestly. Guns feel wrong to me somehow. And if you're not averse to it, I could possibly take some kendo lessons. I'm a shodan in...[She pauses, honestly having to think of the name he'd recognize, given his timeline.]...a more modern form of Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu. And a little naginatajutsu, as well. It'd be good for me to stay in shape I think.
deontology: (XIX.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-30 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[He'd approve of that, if he knew her thought process--it's wise, especially when CERES seems to go out of its way to try to humiliate them all.

Regardless, though, he listens intently as she explains her skills. Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu takes him a moment, but he realizes that vaguely he knows of it, even if he's not particularly familiar with it himself. If nothing else, it'll be interesting to learn more about it. As for naginatajutsu, that is exactly what he would expect from a miko.

He nods simply.]


You are always welcome at the dojo. I will assist you as I can, if you are willing to work without complaint.

[But he really doesn't feel the need to test someone like her or even make the pretense of denying her; she's clearly the sort of person who won't be a waste of his time.]

I would be interested in seeing your skills as well.

Of course.

[To both, really. She has no intent to complain about something she’ll be getting herself into. She doesn’t do things she has no interest in, and she doesn’t do anything by half-measures. If she decides to go into kendo, it will be because she wants to, and because it will be useful.]

And I’d be happy to show what I can. I am no teacher, though, so I’d only feel proper sharing the basics.
deontology: (XLIX.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-03-30 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I do not require your teaching. I am simply interested in your capabilities.

[and learning more about arts that he knows very little about. But he already pledged his life to the sword, and he has no interest in deviating from that path--except maybe to learn more onmyōdō, which is already in his blood anyway.

But she speaks confidently. He thinks she probably would be able to give a very good demonstration.]


So that is acceptable. I will give you time to adapt to this place and settle in first; contact me when you are ready.
faithfulflame: (Priestess Proper)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-03-30 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[She flashes a small smile and nods, dipping her head in a proper bow.]

Thank you, Abe-san. I'll make sure to do that soon.
