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!

They're... sort of like monsters, physical manifestations of negative and malevolent emotions. They prey on humans and devour our minds, turning us into shadows as well or putting us in a vegetative state.
masakados: (you make me feel so jaded)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-04-05 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Manifestations... huh.]

I think I get it. Sounds different from demons, but the going after humans part is the same. [He shakes his head.]
verified: (we raise it up)

[personal profile] verified 2015-04-05 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ she nods; though she doesn't know about his demons, they don't sound very good.

but man, this got depressing.
]

It was difficult and it took us a while, but we were able to eradicate the Dark Hour and Tartarus. Things should be back to normal now.

[ not without some loss though. she thinks about shinji, still in the hospital, before shaking her head with a wry smile. ]

We were all about to head home, but then I was brought here.
masakados: (to lecture to us in monotone)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-04-05 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[It did get a little depressing--

Naoki's expression eases slightly (he can be relieved for others, who were able to accomplish their goals, despite having just met), and he smiles sympathetically at her.]
What a sense of timing these CERES guys have, huh?

I was about to head off to... what'll probably end up being my most important fight.
verified: (this offering)

[personal profile] verified 2015-04-05 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I think they could be a little better, I think.

[ you know. just a little. but ah, that sounds serious. fuuka's smile softens into something more sympathetic, something she hopes is reassuring. she knows what it's like, going into a fight you might not return from, but doing it anyway because it's what you believe in. because it's the only option you have left. ]

I know we just met, but regardless of the outcome, I know you'll do your best. And you'll have the support of everyone here -- even if you have to go into it alone, the bonds you make will always stay with you and support you.

[ there's a small pause as she clears her throat (that probably sounds awkward), but she forges on anyway. ]

So... I really believe that you'll be okay, no matter what happens.

masakados: don't take (what do you want to believe?)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-04-05 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[Everyone here... is very different from what he's familiar with. Even after just meeting him, they can say things like that, or give off feelings he wouldn't have expected. Naoki gives her a smile that probably looks bemused, like he's touched but he doesn't know exactly what to do about it.

Alone is how he's always gone into things. But he never thought about bonds. He just didn't have that many before, though it's gradually started to change here.]


Thanks, Fuuka. [Is just saying that much okay?]

I've gotta do my best back there. That's why I have to get back... and the rest of us, too. We'll figure out a way back.
verified: (to make you feel my love)

[personal profile] verified 2015-04-06 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know we'll figure something out.

[ it's a little embarrassing, maybe she was being too presumptuous? but he did help her earlier and she wants to help him too, even if they may not be from the same world. ]

And you will too, once you get back! Even if we may not remember each other or what we've said when we return home, I know we'll still be cheering each other on.
masakados: (can't contain me)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-04-06 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
[You're too sweet for this or any world, Fuuka--]

Then, we'll call it a promise.

[He reaches over to give her shoulder a gentle, companionable pat.] But before we get out of here and back home, we've still got to deal with this amusement park.
verified: (we raise it up)

[personal profile] verified 2015-04-06 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ shhhh just accept it, naoki. the flush on her cheeks flares up a little when he pats her shoulder, despite her efforts to play it cool. look, it isn't every day she gets shoulder pats from half-naked tattooed boys okay. this is embarrassing, she's so embarrassing, everything is embarrassing. ]

Y-Yes, it's a promise!

[ anyway. her smile turns sheepish and she sighs a little. ]

You know, I think I've had enough excitement for one day. What about you?
masakados: (to the you who is leaving me?)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-04-06 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[No it's okay he has a shirt and sweater on today--]

I'm usually more for excitement, but... yeah, I gotta agree with you. This isn't my idea of fun.

[He shakes his head, a hand resting on his hip as he gives the amusement park around them a flat stare. It only softens when it drifts back to her.] Let's get outta here, huh?
