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.

I have a feeling there will be so much italics in this thread

[In all honesty, it doesn't take much to get Hide to start a conversation with someone, be they strangers or otherwise. He's just a naturally chatty person. Especially around the silent and grumpy types. What some call failure to read the mood he just thinks of as golden opportunities.

Except in this case, he's speaking out as one genuinely concerned person to one seemingly insane person. It's really what anyone would do, right? And yes, he does know what the guy is doing. Perhaps it would have been better to phrase his question with a why would you even.

His expression clearly indicates how lacking he finds the guy's response.]


Why? Are you that desperate to lose a limb?

[What, so he wanted to know why now? If that's what the guy meant, he should have just said so. Not that the answer was any of this guy's business either way. But at the same time, he couldn't exactly ignore the ridiculous implication that he' lose his arm to something like that. That was almost an insult, a bad joke he just had to correct.

So he cocks a brow and continues with the conversation despite himself.]
... Are you serious? As if something like this could take my limb. [The mocking tone is gone now, replaced by one that suggests the concept is nothing short of hysterical.] I'm not that weak.

[Noiz glances at his arm, flexing his fingers in anticipation.]

... Just want to see if I'll bleed.

[It's not as morbid as it sounds, he promises.]

[Somehow nothing about his explanation is very reassuring to Hide. He's about to respond when one of the homicidal Santa bots descends on them and comes very close to taking off a piece of his nose, even as he struggles to duck as far down as he can.

Maybe if he hadn't have been so focused on the guy in front of him, he would have had more time to evade. A moment that could have turned into a teaching moment ends up a moot point as he's immediately craning his head back up to look at the guy.]


Something like this? [He's honestly amazed by this guy's lunacy.] You mean the real sharp swords that are slicing through the air above us? The swords that are perfectly capable of cutting through flesh?

[He's left speechless for a long moment. What is wrong with this guy?]

Trust me. You will bleed. All over the place. And then I'll have to drag your bleeding ass to the hospital.

[Have some consideration.]
hackandhop: (contrast is too high mouth is gone halp)

[personal profile] hackandhop 2015-04-12 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods in confirmation.] Yes. Those. [Those very sharp swords slicing the air above them - right at this very moment, actually.

But while the other guy dodges to avoid the blades entirely, Noiz just yanks himself backwards only a bit - leaving his arm on the mercy of the blades. And as one would expect, that leads to a lot of cuts, gashes and scratches left behind on his flesh. And, what do you know, the stranger was right; he did bleed. All over the place.

But it still didn't hurt. Not even here.]


... Tch. [He lowers himself back to sitting position, regarding his palm with disappointment.] So you were right. [He says that absentmindedly, glancing behind him only briefly.] Looks like this place is real, then.

[As he says that, another sword heads towards the back of his head.

Sorry, no consideration for your trouble here, stranger.]

[When Hide peeks out of his hiding place again he stares aghast at the man's hand. Exactly as he predicted the blood got everywhere, a few truly industrious squirts of blood made it as far as the bottom of Hide's sled. Gross. At least he managed not to get any on him.

If Noiz happens to look back, he'll find Hide giving him a very pointed look that screams 'I told you so'.]


I can see that. [Only then does it register that the man had done the thing to see if this place is real. His jaw hangs open just a little.] Have you never heard of pinching yourself? That's how you check if something is real or not.

[While speaking, he happens to glance up and notice the sword that's aiming for the man's head.]

Duck!
