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!


impheired: to my eye. i punched myself in the face. (sigh ♚ i found out what happened)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-04-05 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, of all the things Kuzuryuu expected to happen after he stormed off, this was not even in the top 100 list of possible outcomes. Run this scenario by hims as many times as you'd like, he never would have guessed that such a seemingly carefree guy could possibly be hiding a nature like this...]

[There's no way Kuzuryuu wouldn't turn around when Tenka's throwing around a word like "halfpint" though. Because his height is kind of a sensitive topic, second only to his babyface. "Shithead", on the other hand, doesn't even faze him. Call him shithead all day, he doesn't care BUT WAS BRINGING HIS HEIGHT INTO THIS REALLY NECESSARY!?!]

[But it's what comes after that that makes him stay put. Because it wasn't until Tenka outright said it that the notion of "hey, this guy cares about Peko, just like me," really and truly clicked. Because that's, sadly, something he's just not used to. Until now, he's been the only one who really cared about her. But she's been here a month now without him and she's clearly made friends and...whatever Tenka is to her. Because something about him seems fundamentally different than Peko's acquaintances that he's run into up to this point. Things are different now, and that's something he's going to have to get used to. Which shouldn't be too hard, seeings how more people caring about Peko is a good thing. Lord knows she needs it, especially people who are actually decent at showing it. Because he'd be the first to admit that he was kind of absolute shit at that. Mostly because he perceived as actions in her best interest or for her happiness were...not always that. Because he's not Peko and he has a hard enough time understanding and fulfilling his own emotional needs, let alone somebody else's. He really and truly thought that pushing her away was the best way to handle their...everything.]


I... That's... [There's a few more of those weird half strangled noises. Is he trying to make words or is he choking, we just don't know. But the longer he goes without managing to string any words together, the more he seems to deflate. Because with everything he just said, Tenka may as well have punched him. And that's enough to knock Kuzuryuu's head back on straight and realize that he really kind of overreacted there. And that realization is enough to make him ashamed and mildly disgusted with himself. Because he's supposed to be a better person than that now and that was so fucking childish, Tenka is 100% right.]

Sorry. [It's a little gruff, but clearly not because he's being insincere or because he's just apologizing to get Tenka to stop yelling. Because he does clearly mean it, so the rough edge to his voice is probably more self-directed than anything. Because, again, damn you Fuyuhiko, you were supposed to have moved past this. Though to be honest, he still thinks Tenka's comment was a little out of line for a first conversation. But that doesn't make his reaction even remotely justified.] That's not the first thing I need to tell her but...I know. Trust me, I'm making a list...of all the things I need to tell her.

[Though it's not going to be until much later tonight that he actually manages but HEY. HE IS AT LEAST TRYING TO MAKE A LIST RIGHT NOW. Even if he's going to kind of flub it when he actually finds her.]
sunshrouded: (☀ you said they were minions of evil)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-04-07 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[When Kuzuryuu starts sputtering and struggling for words, admittedly Tenka isn't the most impressed. He's still bristling with his temper entirely flared. After all, he's cared for his brothers since he was 13 - the instincts to immediately lash out at anyone that could hurt his siblings is strong and ingrained. Yet at the same time, he's got this distant awareness that Kuzuryuu is important to Peko and if they haven't met yet, then he shouldn't lay a hand on the kid. That could just end up making Peko upset in the long run.

Though at least the apology manages to get his shoulders to level out, his posture reading less and less like he's gonna sock Kuzuryuu in the gut (and boy, was he about to). He's still not quite as relaxed or carefree as he was earlier, though. No, his eyes are still serious as he starts to treat the matter with the attention that it probably deserves if Kuzuryuu is taking it so seriously.]


... Apology accepted.

[But that part is easy. Tenka forgives everyone. He crosses his arms then, considering his words here-]

I don't know the entire situation between the two of you. [He'll admit that now.] But I know what Peko's trusted me with and all I'm saying is be aware of the space outside of yourself. I trust that you've got a good heart and you care about her - that's obvious even to an idiot - but showing it is another thing entirely.

Sometimes what you think you need to tell someone and what they need to hear are different things, Kuzuryuu-kun. [He pauses and adds:] Just do me a favor and remember that.

[It still sounds like a lecture to be honest and yeah, he's still intruding in a relationship that isn't his - but there is a distinct effort here not to talk to Kuzuryuu like a child. Like Tenka said, he'll only treat him like one if he acts like it and owning up to a mistake like that? Well, that's already better than Tenka had expected.]
impheired: mouse traps and brownies on my porch? (unsure ♚ just wondering. did you put)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-04-08 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, it definitely comes off as a lecture. And as much as Kuzuryuu hates those, he's willing to swallow the bitter pill without complaint here. Yeah, Tenka doesn't really have the whole background here but if he really does care about Peko then, well, that's enough to make up for that he guesses.]

[Though so help him, Tenka, if you're taking advantage of her or something...]


...right, yeah. I'll remember.

[Okay while it almost sounds like he's blowing him off there, he's really not. That pause is the sound of Kuzuryuu going back and reanalyzing his entire list of "Things I Need To Tell Peko" that he'd assembled up to this point. Because goddammit, you had to go and bring that point up and now he's not sure he's got it right. And their reunion has to go right, it just has to.]

[He's going to overthink everything, thanks Tenka.]

[After a minute though, he seems to come to a realization and gives Tenka a somewhat concerned look.]


...how much did she tell you, exactly?

[This is weird. Like...knowing his name is one thing. But he's not sure how he feels about a stranger knowing some of the less than admirable points of his back story without Kuzuryuu having been the one to share them.]

[Continued over here.]
