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.

[ He nods at that sentiment. Kousetsu may hate fighting but he would protect those he cherishes and cares deeply for. His master, Itabeoka Kousetsusai had at least shown that much in their time spent together. Only fight when absolutely necessary was his way. Protect those important to you, for their time together should be cherished in the present. ]

...I don't enjoy fighting. But if it is you, or Tenka-san, I would be willing to protect you. [ As a sword...and a friend he supposed. Strange to think that but they were becoming increasingly familiar in terms of helping him and Souza. It was only right to call them as such. ]

This I am certain of and can promise. [ He is willing protect by means of violence as a last resort. ]

We do not require your protection.

[It isn't that he doesn't appreciate the offer, because he does; he knows that it's a very huge, important offer. He just doesn't want to make Kousetsu do it--especially after stating that he doesn't enjoy fighting.]

If you do not wish to fight, then you will not have to here, except in entirely unavoidable circumstances. [he can't promise it will never happen, but--]

Tenka and I will be able to handle the rest.

[they'll protect the swords--he sees no issue with that.]

But it is...our purpose. [ Perhaps not here entirely, without a master or someone to use them. But in the end they were blades meant for battle. But still those words are quite touching to a sword who hated violence above all else.

He was made to fight because there was no other choice. But here...could he truly not need to do it? It was a strange concept to accept for him. Regardless of what was spoken, war was something that required all manners of help. His aversion to fighting was no excuse to stay off the front lines. So he accepted the fact that he had to do it even if he hated it. So he looks a bit...unsure on what to say. He does nod his head in thanks though. ]


...I do not know how to thank you. It's not very customary to hear such things. I have always been made to fight...regardless of my feelings on the matter. [ That's just the truth of it all, really. ]

["It is our purpose", he says, and Sousei's eyes slowly slide shut in response. It isn't the first time he's heard that from one of them, but there were always other things happening t the time that prevented him from really listening. But now...

He can't accept that.

His purpose, as a child of the Abe family, had been to be Orochi bait, and then die when his purpose was finished. He had had no other purpose. The thought of someone living by a single purpose that they believe was given to them honestly leaves a bitter taste in his mouth.

He doesn't care if they're swords given life. They're people nonetheless, clearly with preferences and beliefs. It's enough.]


Living by someone else's purpose is unnecessary. [It's said simply, and honestly, he knows it's not easy. He knows when you're given a purpose and you believe all your life that that is what it is, then you stick to it, because it's frightening when there's nothing else.

But he also knows that it's dangerous to cling to a purpose that does not allow you to live your life. So he's blunt, but....this is something that he has experienced for himself, and is something very important to him in the end.]


You do not have a master here. That means you may choose what you make of your life here. If you do not wish to fight--then do not fight.

[And...back home as well, he thinks, but that's probably enough bluntness for now, especially because he's aware he's basically lecturing a sword that is hundreds of years old, ah.

Well.

He doesn't take any of it back.]
heiwana: (㊉㊃)

[personal profile] heiwana 2015-04-07 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
...it is all we have ever done. So it's very...difficult to do otherwise.

[ Of course as an object and a tool they hardly had any say towards what they could and could not do. But Sousei brings up valid points and he nods in earnest understanding. ]

...yes you are right. [ He doesn't mind the lecture. Kousetsu is one of those swords that listens to everyone's thoughts and feelings and takes them as they are. Sousei is far more understanding than he would have thought, though. ]

It will be hard but that is...the purpose of acclimating. [ He will definitely do his best to, well, live his life how he wanted to. Strange as it may be to think. Without a master he feels listless and lost, but it's only the first day here. Perhaps things will change and perhaps he'll get used to being like this. ]
deontology: (XIX.)

[personal profile] deontology 2015-04-07 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[He's satisfied with that, honestly; if Kousetsu is willing to make the effort, Sousei isn't going to harp on the topic. In fact, he shifts to continue to walk then, serious topic apparently now closed.

... Though after a momentary pause, he does add, if softly--]


Simply remember that you are more than the purpose you have been given.

[They are all so much more than what people think they are meant for.

...and with that, he shakes his head, properly changing the topic.]


Have you seen your brother already?
