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 ❅
YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT THE SANTASTICAL FOREST OF CHRISTMAS WONDERS ❅
PLEASE ENJOY ALL THE RIDES CEO JULIUS VINCERE HAS HAND-PICKED FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT ❅
WE WISH TO BRING YOU MERRY FEELINGS FOR THE HOLIDAY ❅

WHAT? YOU DON'T WANT ONE ❅
BUT I WAS PROGRAMMED TO CONVEY HUGGING AS LOVE THROUGH AFFECTION ❅
PLEASE DON'T RUN ❅
COME BAAAAACK, VISITOR ❅"

//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.

around the carnival!

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-03-30 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
[That sure is a really tall man with a whole lot of hair, dang. He stands pretty much a full foot taller than Kaoru, who almost reconsiders approaching just based on that alone. Tall people are a handful...

Still, after that second of hesitation passes, Kousetsu will find himself with one carnival-goer trailing after him.]


Ah— excuse me, sir!

[Both hands are cupped together as Kaoru approaches, but one is carefully lifted once close enough. Sitting on the opposite palm is what seems to be a hair clip of some sort, with large and ornate beading that sparkles where it catches the light.]

Do you recognize this? I'm trying to find its owner... I found it over by the food stalls.

[He's got enough Rapunzel hair that it seems possible, okay.]
heiwana: (㊉㊃)

[personal profile] heiwana 2015-03-30 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He sure is...something. He stands out like a sore thumb but he doesn't appear to be overly self-conscious about it?! Then again Kousetsu's expressions don't vary much so who even knows. He will stop when the unfamiliar voice calls out to him.

Hm. Well he was a 'sir' but he's never been called out to before so politely, so of course he must respond. However her question is...strange even if he's used to seeing Jiroutachi wearing such manner of ornamentation. He, himself, wasn't as flashy or nearly as dressed up as the oodachi. It did look like something he would wear though. He'll look down with a tilt of his head, curious and otherwise contemplative. ]


No. I'm sorry. I...do not recognize it. [ He's soft spoken at least and otherwise polite. ] Do you...want some assistance in finding its owner?
souredsweet: jackandtink (that's nice dear)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-03-31 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[What a polite guy!! And surprisingly soft spoken for someone so... present. And tall. A very tall presence. Kaoru has to look up a pretty fair distance to actually look at his face, but doesn't seem to mind it, at least. Most people are a good deal taller than this tiniest of punks.]

Ah, there's no need for an apology.

[But it's met with a nod, and Kaoru closes both hands over the decoration again. Presumably to keep it safe. At the suggestion, Kousetsu is offered a friendly smile.]

I appreciate the offer, but I wouldn't wish to trouble you with something like that... You're a newer arrival, correct?
heiwana: (㊉㊂)

[personal profile] heiwana 2015-03-31 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
It is no trouble. Whatever I may help with...I will try to do so. [ He shakes his head as if meaning that you're not troubling him. But at that question he nods before looking around, solemn eyes scanning the crowds for a very apparent person. Alas he doesn't see Souza at all. ]

...I am looking for someone. My brother, Souza.
souredsweet: jackandtink (reassurance)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-03-31 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Souza... Ah! Souza Samonji-san?

[Pretty much instant recognition of the name, at least! It helps that Kousetsu is So Blue and Souza is So Pink that Kaoru immediately makes a bizarre "bright colors" tie-in between the two of them. Hm - who knew swords could have brothers? A pair, maybe? It's strange to think of.]

I haven't seen him here yet, but I met him earlier at the theater. Perhaps we could look together, in that case?
heiwana: (㊆)

[personal profile] heiwana 2015-04-02 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. He is my brother. [ Kousetsu looks around the bustling carnival with clear eyes. His expression unchanging as he nods again. He sure has a way with words, huh? ]

...if you do not mind. The...theater. Where is that? [ He remembers that place specifically because of that one violent movie that he kinda despised. But he won't get into that right now. ]
souredsweet: cupnoodles (super smash bros champ)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-04-02 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[HE SURE DOES, dang what a reticent guy. But he's not quite as abrasive as some of the other reticent guys Kaoru knows, at least...]

Hm? The theater is in the entertainment district, a little past the gaming center where the ViViD booths are. It's one of the largest buildings in the area so it isn't easy to miss. [A beat, and then:] Do you wish to go back?

[Maybe he just really liked the movie he saw......]
heiwana: (㊉㊂)

[personal profile] heiwana 2015-04-03 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh wow, no. He really actually hated it...a lot. His frown is indicative of this. ] If Souza might be there still...then perhaps it would be wise to check.

[ Though those strange beings, robots he assumed they were called, had forced them all on to those weird moving horseless carriages so. Perhaps he was actually here. ] ...I am uncertain as to where to start looking for him.

[ Everything is confusing and bright and loud. He doesn't know where to even start. So he will look down at Karou with a 'please direct him' sort of look. ]
souredsweet: jackandtink (uninspired)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-04-03 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
[It's easy to get that vibe, at least... A sword that disapproves of violence, WHAT A DAY.

But luckily for him, Kaoru is pretty accustomed to how things work in Cerealia by now, and definitely understands the request for direction in his look. With a smile:]


You could certainly check there later, but I would imagine that everyone who classifies as a new arrival is in the park right now just as you are. Combing through this place would be your best bet, and waiting at the gate once we're excused if you haven't found him by then would be a good second. Ah - but I could show you the way around, if you'd like to start your search here.
heiwana: (㊈)

[personal profile] heiwana 2015-04-04 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yes. Kousetsu is probably the only sword in existence that despises fighting. He was strange for that fact, no doubt. But he never particularly minded it himself. He was more at peace doing chores than out on the field, strange for a sword of his caliber, but no less true. He listens with rapt attention nodding in acknowledgement at Kaoru's words. ]

...I would very much appreciate that. And perhaps we may also find the owner of said hairpin. [ Because that's how this all started, isn't it? Hm, well, he will simply follow Kaoru as he is wont to do with Souza. He is very zen in that he is comfortable with just following along and taking in the sights as they come. ]
souredsweet: cupnoodles (take a bow)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-04-04 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Not every sword can be a happy-go-shanky bloodfueled maniac...]

That would work wonderfully, I'd think.

[Kaoru seems equally comfortable with playing the guide here, that said. He'll be led in silence for a while, but eventually a small gesture is made toward some of the twinkling lights of the nearest rides.]

Would you like me to explain a little about this place in the meantime? Granted, I may not be the best tour guide. These things are all a little beyond my time...
heiwana: (㊉㊂)

[personal profile] heiwana 2015-04-04 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Kousetsu is complete opposite. The sword you are speaking of is Yamato no kami yasusada. Okita's sword was quite...bloodthirsty in that way. Kousetsu just never enjoyed it, nor would he deny that. However if he had to he would protect those important to him by fighting in the worst case scenario.

Kousetsu appreciates the silence or however silent a loud bustling carnival can be. When asked he will nod. ]
...yes. It is the same for me.

[ If his garb wasn't telling enough. ] ...I have not seen may of the things displayed here. The Sainwa taught about items in the future, but we were never shown all of them in real life.
souredsweet: jackandtink (thanks shinsengumi and friends!!)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-04-05 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? Even that knowledge would help you.

[Said with a small smile! Kaoru adapted pretty well and was thrown in completely cold. A living sword - and a peaceful one at that - would probably excel at adaptation even more.]

But it can be a little overwhelming, can't it? Even the living arrangements... You've been told of apartments?
heiwana: (㊉㊂)

[personal profile] heiwana 2015-04-06 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
It...has made things less overwhelming. [ Sort of. He's still kinda getting used to all this new fangled technology, which is still over his head but he's trying! ]

Yes. I've been told that Tenka-san and Sousei-san are allowing us to live with them in theirs. [ Sousei was kind enough to tell him and really where ever Souza was Kousetsu would follow. ]

I do not know how big these apartments are though... [ He hopes he doesn't take up too much space. ]
souredsweet: jackandtink (reassurance)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-04-07 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Nodding along as he explains! He's definitely not as lost as some newcomers, at least...]

I see. They're quite the generous young men, aren't they? [THAT TENKA always adopting half of Cerealia...]

The apartments can be quite large, though. Some have up to four bedrooms, I believe... Tenka-san's is roomy, so you shouldn't be cramped even with several living there together.
