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.

Welcome to CEREALIA's latest intro post For your convenience, we have compiled a post detailing what's going on right here and feel free to consult the FAQ if needed. Please leave any lingering questions in the OOC post, and we'll answer them as soon as we can. If this post goes into overflow, we will make a new one to deal with the ever-hated captcha! Worry not!


aerialassault: (uncool -- not sure)

[Cliff would have been defending him-- you always defend the Symbologist, even if you don't understand exactly how their power works. That just what you do when you pair up with someone.

He smashed another snarling beast aside and spared a glance back at Yosuke when he noted the light fading.]


How're you holdin' up?

[Please don't pass out on him-- he wasn't carrying any items that would be helpful in that regard when he was pulled in.]
punchesyu: (i think he got punched in the gut)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-04-01 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Hurry-! [Is all he manages. It's taking everything he has and then some to keep the magic going.]

[The vortex dwindles down even more, and they threaten to dissipate completely.]
aerialassault: (serious -- that's suspicious)

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-04-02 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Yosuke didn't sound good-- Cliff bashed his fists into any enemies that threatened to come their way, teeth gritted. He didn't dare leave the kid's side.]

There's a ton of 'em!

[And, the last time, they were gone before the two had a chance to process. What was going to happen this time?]
punchesyu: (oh noooo he got tha booty)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-04-02 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
[It's been seven, maybe eight minutes of constant effort. And now, he can't anymore. The magic completely fades, as does Susano-o. Yosuke collapses, breathing harder than he's probably ever before, and their light source disappears. Howls of delight are cast across the fun house, and he can only look up in horror.

They're going to die, and he couldn't believe this was how he was going to go out.

And then the lights snap back on.]


What...? [And then just stays on the ground wishing he could just go home. Please.]
aerialassault: (uncool -- tch!)

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-04-05 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
['Shit,' was Cliff's only thought when the power of the strange technique faded and the light went out. They were screwed. They were beyond screwed, but he was going to be damned if he just up and--

The line of thought careened to a halt when the lights came back on and the world looked like nothing strange had happened. It was unnerving, and it was starting to piss Cliff off.]


...Too freaky, [he managed finally, with a disgruntled snort, before rushing over to Yosuke. He didn't know what sort of power the strange being relied upon, but he's seen (and felt) the effects of what happens when Symbologists over-exert themselves. If this technique was anything similar, then Yosuke was going to be in pretty poor shape.]

--Hey, Yosuke. [Cliff's tone was calm but concerned when he knelt by Yosuke's side.] You okay? Can you stand?
punchesyu: (why him a story in 100 parts)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-04-05 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't wanna stand...

[He whines from lying on the floor, face down. He's tired, that was almost too much. It hurt to do that, and he'd never had to do that before. Taking hits was bad enough when just physically fighting with his persona, but this was a new different level of exertion that he didn't know existed.]

Tell me that was just a dream, dude...
aerialassault: (thinking -- arms crossed like a boss)

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-04-05 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Aah. I'm wishing it was.

[Cliff shook his head-- there was no such luck as all that being a dream if more than one person remembered it. He wouldn't care about the monsters so much if there were at least a sign of the fight...but, the fact that everything resets after each encounter was starting to stick in his craw.]

Let's get outta here, kid. I'll carry ya too, if you want.
punchesyu: (his fucking life part 2)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-04-05 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I got it. [He says as he forces himself up. Not a pleasant experience, and he waves a bit, but he gets himself up on his feet.]

Where's the exit, I don't wanna stay in here any longer than we have to. I don't think I could take another freaky surprise like that.
aerialassault: (standing tall)

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-04-05 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cliff watches the kid with a close eye when he wavers upon standing, making a note to find a way to better equip him later on, once they both had better access to supplies.]

You and me both. [He stretched out his arms and shoulders with an audible crack. The last few days, this one included, had been wicked tense on him.] If we retrace our steps, we should get out with no problem. But, I'm kinda hoping to find a back door before we hit that point.
punchesyu: (trying to pass the blame off yep)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-04-05 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a funhouse, there's gotta be an exit. They couldn't of screwed this place up that much. [He complains, but it's still a possibility he didn't want to imagine.]

Let's keep going before I collapse. I'm totally going to need a nice long, hot shower after this...
aerialassault: (confident -- whatev)

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-04-05 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Hah, no kidding.

[Cliff didn't want to imagine the possibility that they were stuck in this stupid exhibit. They'd find a way out, one way or the other.]

Fortunately, we're in a world where those exist, [he said, starting off in the direction they had come from.] There's lots of worlds that don't have that convenience-- and, lemme tell you, they're as much the opposite of 'convenient' that you can imagine.
punchesyu: (where is that stupid bear)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-04-06 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Man, and I thought we'd be the ones way far behind in the technology area. Guess I was wrong. [Said with a little effort, but it's easier now that he isn't beating up his body and just walking.]

It would totally suck not to have electricity or something.
aerialassault: (confident -- you gotta deal)

[personal profile] aerialassault 2015-04-07 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
People get by. They might be a little dirtier and things might be a little less convenient, but people get on just fine without electricity.

[He kept a watchful eye on Yosuke as they moved, but covered his concern with a brief smile.]

That said, I prefer being a world with electricity. It's so much nicer.
punchesyu: (where is that stupid bear)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-04-08 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
No kidding. How would you listen to music whenever you want?

[As evidenced by the headphones around his neck.]

I'd be such a drag. I'd get bored out of my skull.
