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.

[She... blinks at the response, not entirely sure what to make of that. But he used the word 'comrade,' so she decides it can't be such a bad thing. She should be proud! Happy?

Then again, Leia loves her individuality, so there are some mixed feelings here.]


Hmm, so maybe that's why you wanted to help me.

[Almost a teasing tone, almost.]

Of course, I could have found the exit, too...
omurice: (pic#6267943)

[personal profile] omurice 2015-04-01 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
I assure you that had nothing to do with it!

[Well, there's a little more bite than intended with his words, but he really wanted to emphasize that it was not his intent at all.]

I would have helped regardless.

[So yeah, that teasing tone? He really doesn't catch it. The day in the life of Hubert Oswell. And then... those words...]

Are you saying that my ability to find the exit was inadequate?

[Not realizing that she's saying she was fully capable, but it's Hubert. He sometimes doesn't understand truly what one is trying to say.]
journaler: (✿ i'm dancing right beside you)

1/2

[personal profile] journaler 2015-04-02 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
I-- [Uh.] What?

[His words are sharp. They don't cut deep, but they're cold, and she's kind of taken aback by the reaction. She holds up her hands, staff in all, waving both to say "no."]

Of course not! I wasn't saying that at all.

[How did he even interpret it that way...]

I just meant that I'm not some helpless little girl. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate what you did.
journaler: (✿ there's nothing wrong)

[personal profile] journaler 2015-04-02 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
[... Hah. She hasn't really said it yet, though. She realizes that, so she adds quietly:]

Thanks, Hubert.
omurice: (pic#6267820)

[personal profile] omurice 2015-04-04 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Did she just...? Well that wasn't quite the reaction he was expecting, but it's not a bad thing. Well, the first part he kind of expected, but really...

In an agitated movement he fidgets with the bridge of his glasses, turning away from her to hide a bit of a flustered expression.]


Please, don't mention it. I would have done that for anyone who had gone through that horror with me.
journaler: (✿ last night)

[personal profile] journaler 2015-04-05 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Leia watches him carefully. It's a fine line between defusing the situation and making it worse, and she's glad it ended up being the former. She... actually laughs.

She feels relieved.]


Come on. I say we deserve some kind of reward, and I'm sure we both want to get away from that creepy place.

[She has no idea where they're going, but.]

... We can see if the buses ever came back, too.
omurice: (pic#6138721)

[personal profile] omurice 2015-04-05 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
If our reward is exploring this place further, I will definitely have to pass.

[He's not scared!!! No!! At least he grew up out of wetting his pants. Still, he doesn't want to relive anything that is a horrible as that way. But she does raise a point there...]

Checking to see if the buses came back is a good idea. I must agree with you there.
journaler: (✿ oh)

[personal profile] journaler 2015-04-05 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Too bad, Hubert!! Not that she really wants to explore this place either, beyond checking on the buses and maybe finding some food. She nods then, feeling like they're on the same page as she looks around.]

Hmm.

[Picking the path that seems the least ominous is difficult, but eventually, she takes a few steps and starts to lead them.

Not long after though, she can see one of those robots in the distance approaching. She's defensive at first, stopping for a moment as she palms her staff again, but... when it doesn't do anything, she tilts her head, proceeding cautiously.]


Hey... do you know what's going on at this park?
omurice: (pic#6267963)

[personal profile] omurice 2015-04-06 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Hubert's not really sure what to think of the robots himself. While he thinks they're neat, after their little disastrous run in with that 'fun' house, he's not fully sure if he trusts them. While he doesn't draw his weapons quite yet, he has his hands behind his back when the robot approaches just in case it turns out to be hostile.

When it doesn't, he eases up a little though still ready to do battle if necessary.]


Do you truly believe this thing will actually answer us?

[Call him cynical, but he's never met a robot that could... well that's a lie, he's met plenty if he thinks about it. But the ones here don't really seem all too advanced.

[personal profile] journaler 2015-04-06 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
...

[Leia doesn't answer Hubert, and continues to wait, until finally, the robot holds out what appears to be two snowcones in offering. That's... just about the last thing she expected.

Is she being bribed now?]


At least it's... accommodating?

[She doesn't know what to think of the gesture, but she does know the snowcone looks good. She can't help but take one from it...]
omurice: (pic#6267968)

[personal profile] omurice 2015-04-07 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
I think I will pass.

[He doesn't trust the snowcone being offered to him as the robot tries to shove it at him.]

One hardly knows what affect it will have on us if we choose to ingest it. [Even if the fun house thing hadn't happened, he'd still be distrusting of the robots.]
