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.

You just know.

[She strolls along the winter wonderland path thoughtfully, inspecting the ornaments. Weird.]

Or the people who need to know know, and everyone else is blissfully ignorant of familial relations.

[Belph.]
souredsweet: jackandtink (this is terrible company)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-03-31 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Kaoru, on the other hand, will eventually sort of mosey closer to the center of the walkway, as far away from all of the weird side decorations as possible. NOT TODAY, REINDEER.]

How strange... [TRULY it's almost incomprehensible to Kaoru, coming from a society that's intense about familial names that exists within another society that is also intense about familial names.]

Is it never an inconvenience?
compossible: (Time Master)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-31 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[So paranoid..... meanwhile the young woman in bloody clothing seems to have no self-preservation instincts at all.]

Oh, sure it is, sometimes. [Belph] Is it never an inconvenience to have everyone know what family you're from?
souredsweet: jackandtink (lol this dying shit)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-03-31 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[someone help her... because Kaoru sure won't...]

At times, I'm certain, but that can be circumvented with relative ease by simply not introducing oneself by their family name.
compossible: (Stable Time Loop)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-04-01 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
And the problem you're talking about can be avoided by telling people who your family is.

Easy!

[...]

So we've explained that our naming conventions don't cause problems. What next?
souredsweet: breadcrusts (bitches get stitches)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-04-01 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
["WHAT NEXT" like Kaoru is a master of smalltalk!! ...Kaoru is actually a master of smalltalk, but doesn't particularly feel like putting forth the effort with a stranger he already dislikes in a situation that isn't very comfortable. Life is so hard...]

Mm... Oh— What about the place that you come from? We can't possibly be from the same one with such different methods of handling names. [Unless she's from some freaky village tucked away in different mountains or something... But, to start off:]

I come from Tosa, in Japan. [Said while widely stepping around a particularly large piece of decor...]
compossible: (You Cannot Change The Future)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-04-01 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[....Tosa... in Japan...]

Yep, that's entirely foreign to me.

[She hums thoughtfully, moving right along with him, arms crossed lightly (to cover up the stab holes).]

I wonder if that's in the past...? [from where she's at. But as for her...]

... The place I come from is boring, though. You don't want to hear about that. What's Tosa, in Japan, like?
souredsweet: jackandtink (you've got some tuberculosis on you)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-04-01 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wow!! What happened to fair trade of information! Kaoru keeps that sourness from showing though, and moves on to describe the Entirely Perfect Seaport that is home.]

Is that so? [But a look of curiosity, first! It would be rude to just blow by her statements entirely.]

I'm not certain if it's from the past, either. It must be very far indeed if you can't even remember the name, if that is the case. But Tosa is very pleasant - better for those who enjoy the sea, since it's by the coast. The weather is very moderate because of that, at least... It never gets too hot or too cold, and the sea breeze is refreshing.

[personal profile] compossible 2015-04-03 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Elcia doesn't believe in fair trade of information.... but she nods thoughtfully, imagining that, a sincere smile on her face for the first time. Being from a home like hers, the thought of the sky, and the ocean...well, it's still all pretty new.]

The ocean, huh... I'd like to see that someday. I don't suppose there's one here?
souredsweet: mewtube (bluebird)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-04-03 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
[A BUTT. A TRUE BUTT.

Kaoru's smile becomes vaguely apologetic at that.]


If there is, it's beyond the farthest outer barriers of the city. There are many places on this planet that we haven't been able to explore yet because it hasn't been deemed safe enough for us, but perhaps there's an ocean out there somewhere. In here, the closest thing that you'll find are the ponds in the park. They're large, at least...

[For what little good that does. Large enough to use for murder though, probably!]
compossible: (Eldritch Location)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-04-03 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
So we're stuck in this city, huh?

[Places beyond the city.......... It's nice to think about. She's not too unfamiliar with being stuck in a city, after all, and at least this isn't underground.]

At least we can see the sky here. I'm a little unimpressed overall, though.
souredsweet: breadcrusts (bitches get stitches)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-04-04 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
Unimpressive? Many here seem impressed by the technology, if nothing else, or being able to see the stars from the perspective of an alien planet.

[Even if they're the aliens here WHATEVER... IT'S ALL RELATIVE. But Kaoru's expression only shows a mild sort of surprise which implies that one or both of those things are impressive to this punk. It's not true, of course... Even modern conveniences of the greatest use just get a lukewarm "okay" from Kaoru Nagumo.]
compossible: (Stable Time Loop)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-04-04 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Thank goodness for the unimpressable punk that is Kaoru Nagumo.....meanwhile Elcia just shrugs, since her own world has technology that's significantly more impressive than this.]

They're simple, happy souls, aren't they?
souredsweet: mewtube (dust in my mouth)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-04-05 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Kaoru sure does try...

And gently raises both shoulders at that rhetoric question. Who knows?? People are weird.]


Perhaps they just take whatever little enjoyments they can out of this place.
compossible: (Time Machine)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-04-06 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Oblivious and naive, cheerful people.

[Wow did she even hear Kaoru's gentle rebuttal...]

Senseless and happy people--

[she can keep going.]
souredsweet: mewtube (right through you)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-04-06 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
[WHAT A BUTT. Kaoru tosses in the towel without fuss though since there is nowhere near enough care about senseless and happy people to try defending them...]

Are those traits that you like or dislike?

[HE CAN'T TELL.]
compossible: (Time Master)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-04-07 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Depends on the person.

[She can't give that a straight answer, honestly...]

Are you that sort of person?
souredsweet: mewtube (dust in my mouth)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-04-07 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Making this conversation so difficult...

Anyway, Kaoru just looks vaguely lost in response to that, because that isn't exactly the kind of question where either a straight yes or no would look good.]


No one has described me in that way...? [The tone seems to say "I SURE DON'T KNOW."] Though I do enjoy the occasional breaks that we see here at times.
compossible: (Stable Time Loop)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-04-08 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
That's...so sad.

[she's pitying you, Kaoru... she's pitying you really hard.]

Nobody thinks you're sweet and optimistic at all, huh.... you do seem a little stiff.
souredsweet: breadcrusts (telltale)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-04-08 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
