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.

fierybluebird: (yo I haz an Ace on me)

Not the Dildo of Death

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2015-03-30 10:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Continued from here!]

Hey now... [Raises a hand to protest... lazily. As lazily as humanly possible. Almost inhumanly even. A lethargic EXAGGERATED DRAWN-OUT level nearly suited to a sloth. HONESTLY DOES THIS GUY GIVE ANY FUCKS EVER? JEEZ.] That's rude, yoi. [Not that Marco is actually one to talk. He's hardly polite.]

[HE HAS A LOT OF FRIENDS THOUGH... just not here, except his wife. And brothers. AGAIN, IT IS A LONG FUCKING STORY.]


The subordinate of Dragon is gone now. Leastwise, that or in hiding. Hiding better than I can even find him. [Which is actually saying something since Marco likes to keep track on people from his own world. He has his reasons. Mostly related to that wife and brothers thing though.]

Grell's cats are... [Closes his eyes and pinches the bridge between them to think.] I don't really get it. Digitally restored? [He doesn't visibly change in.... anything else. Tone, emotion, NOTHING. Helpful, right?] They seem real enough, they're like they were before here, but they're like little robots with a catsuit covering. [Crept out yet?]

The den den mushi were the same, eh? Pets. Not functional with their psychic energy even if they had machinery hooked up to them.

It's a shame eh, it's been ages since I saw Stefan -- Pops' dog. [He's pretty sure now Law is the rookie that rescued Jinbei & Ace's little brother, but not many know who the fuck Stefan is. Who Marco's Dad was, goes hand in hand with who Marco is though.]

Oh, but... there is... another technology that --

[.............]

[Here, Marco considers whether or not if he calls the laptop a notebook if Law will take it literally. Like a magical devil fruit paper notebook that does technological shit.]

[............]

[Then Marco momentarily gets tripped up with his own technological issues, and this is why he leaves it to Grell, whom he still hasn't explained, because wow that just requires too much effort.]

[Also is the younger generation better at this sort of thing?]

[Does that include Thatch?]

[Because really everyone is younger than Marco. Except maybe Grell.]

[And others if not nearly as much time passed before he met his Pops, but whatever, time is a thing that Marco can't put into solid concrete frame of reference, and this is precisely why being here doesn't faze him. That and he was in a literal Time Compression before, where he learned about laptops in the first place.]

[.... Laptop which he left home because pssh.]

[Also it's not like he uses a cell phone (cell? Prison cell? Biological cell? It looks like and utilizes the qualities of neither. WHY EVEN CALL IT THAT?!?) since he relies on haki, flying, and sneaking up on his chameleon brother and trying to surprise Grell etc.]

[So...................................]

[YEAH THIS GOT AWKWARD.]

[It's a good thing he put on that exaggerated lazy show before, right?]

[RIGHT?]

[Oh god, he's probably seeming like Aokiji now. Gross.]

[Marine cooties.]

[Super gross.]

[No really where the fuck was he?]


Well, it lets you talk to others. With buttons. Please resist the urge to smash them. [.... Marco and Ace (in the place Marco was before) had a general universal agreement that all buttons are for pushing and smashing no matter what. Yolo.]

If you didn't get one yet, I'm not sure where you get them? I got mine when I first arrived, and I asked for the game they were testing installed on it. [Nods.] They do that too. [And it was the only thing he was better at with the technological aspect. See also: repeated button smashing and giving no fucks.]

I'M SO UPSET, WHY DO I MISUNDERSTAND EVERYTHING

[personal profile] trafalgar 2015-04-03 11:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Marco has truly been living the life. Whatever prompts him to talk...

What he gathers is that the Den Den Mushi and this random person's cats have all become robotic -- android-like, perhaps?! Which means none of them are allowed to drink cola, but Stefan is (likely momentarily) noted to be his father's...dog, which -- it's a good thing he hasn't seen him, if all the animals are being redistributed as mechanical cretins. But hey, there's nothing wrong with being nostalgic, not that Law would really know anything about that, and the awkward silence is met, made worse by an expectant stare. Maybe he forgot what he was saying? Maybe he'd been drugged before all of this mayhem? It isn't as if he's ever sat down with Marco on a personal level before..so...

He'll...be patient, through all of this awkward staring. He really isn't helping.

Let's goooo Aokiji....]


Another techn--

[Ah, there he goes. He probably didn't even require, or notice the attempted-prompt. As Marco continues on about the only thing that comes to mind, Law dips a hand into a corresponding pocket to fish his allotted device out...]

Are you talking about this?

[And he presents the Cerevice in an open fist. Game?? What game.]

The buttons are translucent.

[Which is pretty much his only qualm with Marco's tale so far. How are you gonna keysmash holographic keys, that's so ignorant...]
fierybluebird: (calmly call me calmly)

NO WORRIES. I CALLED HIM A DEATH DILDO TO GRELL NOW :) also fuck

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2015-04-28 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ooc: When you miss your AC because RL, and then have to reapp, and by that time, the overflow log is also overflowed. WHAT THE FUCK DO?! IDK! ANYWAY DROP THIS THREAD IF YOU WANT BUT I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO THINK I FORGOT YOU, I just had to literally be re-accepted... yay.]

[Marco shakes his head, then holds his hands out well over a foot. And then up and then around.]

[Like a laptop.]


No.

It's called a laptop.

It's computers where I was before here. It's complicated. They have more advanced stuff here, but I can barely work a laptop sufficiently.

They also have other things here called cell phones. Don't ask me what's imprisoned, apparently it's the battery type?

They can be used for work or other things. My wife doesn't trust me with one, though. Which is probably good, I'd smash it first time it annoyed me. They're too fragile for things that aren't alive, yoi.
