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 have no idea what I can do. Or anyone else, for that matter. That's the point.

[Which sounds incredibly paranoid (and it's not like he even follows his own advice most of the time), but he has had a pretty awful day. Awful enough that the otherwise amusingly pathetic robot is still just getting on his nerves.]

I suppose. I wouldn't be here if they hadn't forced us to come. [Enjoying his time here hasn't even crossed his mind.]

I was being sarcastic, but sure. [it pretty much IS the point, that since she doesn't know what he can do she couldn't have anticipated the blast, meaning it was definitely not her fault. But the rest of it is more important than the petty squabble anyway.]

So you were basically abducted to here? CERES are even pushier than I thought... are you actually new or are they just grabbing random people?

[because as far as she knew there was some kind of mass delay in arrivals. If people are coming in new, she'll have to keep her eyes peeled for familiar faces.]

[personal profile] tachyonme 2015-03-31 11:14 am (UTC)(link)
Basically. [Grumpily tightens his arms against his chest. That robot really had it coming.]

I'm new. As far as I could tell, there are a lot of us. [And then he frowns at her (again), because he's kind of be assuming she was part of the group, because why else would anyone be here?] How long have you been here?
faestra: (37)

[personal profile] faestra 2015-03-31 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[a lot of them! Yuzu smiles slightly.] That's... kind of a relief.

I've been here for about a month, but the others were saying there was a delay in new arrivals. We went on a search mission and everything.

Anyway you probably don't have to stay here that long, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to. You might be able to find someone you know... At least, there were 4 other people from my world when I showed up, but then other people here say they're the only ones from theirs, so it's hit or miss.

[...That's true. He's been so preoccupied with everything that been thrown at him in the last couple hours, here and at home, that he hadn't even considered that he might not be the only one. At least, not for more than a second or two. But if they could extract him, there's no reason why they couldn't bring in someone else too.

...Although with his luck, it would probably be the one person he'd prefer to never see again and not anyone he'd actually like to have around.
]

I'm not going to get my hopes up.

[So he says, but he's already glancing around for a higher spot to stand on, to get a better view of the whole park..]

...But if any of them are here, they shouldn't be hard to find.
faestra: (d'aww.)

[personal profile] faestra 2015-04-08 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Not too hard to find, even in this big park? Yuzu smiles a bit.]

Oh, yeah? Do your friends tend to make a scene?

[She notices him looking up... so she'll helpfully add]

I saw a ferris wheel over there.

[Of course, Yuzu assumes he knows what that is.]
tachyonme: (pic#8207756)

[personal profile] tachyonme 2015-04-08 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
[He snorts very softly like that's a silly question, still looking around.]

Some of them. [says the biggest drama queen of the lot...

But the mention of a "ferris wheel" just gets Yuzu a blank stare since he has no idea what that is. (And he can't just ask like a normal person.)

faestra: (06)

[personal profile] faestra 2015-04-08 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Yuzu stares back, frowning after a moment. What's with that look? Does he think she's just bringing it up for no reason or something.]

You could use it to get a better view of the park...?
tachyonme: (pic#7472145)

[personal profile] tachyonme 2015-04-08 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, that explains why it had suddenly come up, though not really what it is. And he can easily come up with several possibilities, which doesn't help him much.]

What is it?
faestra: (31)

[personal profile] faestra 2015-04-08 09:09 am (UTC)(link)
Oh- [He doesn't know. She hadn't realized the matter of common knowledge - people being dressed strangely isn't really a good indicator to her of who's from a different kind of world. This is because duelists from Maiami wear whatever their crazy hearts desire. Anyway, the frown disappears as it was a misunderstanding.]

It's one of the rides here! Look. [She'll point across at the very conspicuous, large bright wheel.] The little cars around the side are for passengers to sit in. The top is high enough to see everything below - they're nice!
tachyonme: (pic#8985756)

[personal profile] tachyonme 2015-04-24 10:23 am (UTC)(link)
[He looks across to where she's pointing and nods. It's definitely a wheel, and it does look nice and high at the top, although it's also moving a whole lot. Maybe standing on one of the supports would work better...]

It's a possibility. [Should probably say thank you...but doesn't. Nope, he's just going to start walking in that direction instead, although he does glance at the girl to see if she going to follow or not.]
faestra: (32)

[personal profile] faestra 2015-04-25 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
[She was about to just wish him luck, but the glance makes her wonder if he expects her to come with. Well, if he's new and he needs a guide... Fine, she'll catch up with him.]

Two pairs of eyes are better than one.

[possibly get on a ferris wheel with a strange high strung alien dude? sure why not]
