The Nightmare Before Christmas

The Dobbs Family is lucky to be alive after a very close call last night, as youngest child Cindy Lou (age 5), unlatched the darkness proofing seals and opened the front door of their Sector 4 home in expectation of Santa’s one-night-early arrival.

Cindy claims she heard sleighbells (which turned out to be a prank played by her older brother) and a ’whinnying’ sound outside, as she demonstrated for the morning news. Thinking the pony she had asked for had arrived, she flung open to door only to be nearly trampled by a night mare.

Christmas tree, curtains, flatscreen television and other downstairs furniture were completely destroyed by the creature’s rampage throughout the house, as the Dobbs family clustered in fear upstairs in their parents’ master bedroom. After surviving the night, the older son Bobby told reporters that all he really wants for Christmas, in addition to a new TV and gaming system, is a holiday in tropical paradise.

“It’d be good for mom,” the nine year old boy proclaimed sagely, “She’s really shaken up after all of this.”

Angela Dobbs, thankful for the survival of her terrified family, thinks a copy of Darwin Watts’ bestselling illustrated children’s book about darkness safety might need a spot saved under the tree tomorrow evening.

[John's behind the camera today, bringing you a live feed of Christmas morning. Except, all the resents are the same. The gifts are a pile of fiftyish, individually wrapped ties.

Not many of them are unwrapped, he kinda got the idea after fifteen.]


Who the fuck sent me fifty ties?!

Merry Christmas everyone!

[It's Christmas Eve, and Alice is as excitable as ever. Well, even more so today, because CHRISTMAS.

Also, apparently even she has a weakness for bad Christmas sweaters. Just soak that sight in.]


So while you're all preparing your presents, or going about your day as normal if you don't celebrate, I've got a little announcement for you all!

New Year's Eve, I'll be hosting an open house party at my shop in Sector 2. Now, even though I'm hosting it there this isn't an affiliated event, so SERO affiliates are more than welcome to attend! Dress code is semi-formal, so if you stop by, dress your best.

[Private to Magneto and Jesse Pinkman]

I'm hoping you'll be able to make it, too.

[Have a sad little smile to damper down all that holiday cheer.]

[Attention, Siren's Port. On this unseasonably warm winter morning, Hitsugaya has a very important announcement to make.]

I hate this city.

[We now return you to your regularly scheduled Christmas cheer.]

[ There's only a brief pause, a breath, before Sam speaks. ]

I've never really been big on Christmas. Few years back, I was accused of being a Grinch, but, uh-- Anyway, I think there's something to be said here. Back home, my brother and I didn't really celebrate. Didn't really get to. I mean, we had some cheap egg nog and a plastic tree in a motel room every so often, but that was about it. I only know a handful of Christmas carols, and I've never been good with presents. I mean, it's tough, right? Finding something annually to really wish a person a good new year. Something that can make them happy.

... Things were different back there. For a lot of us, here, I know. I just-- That I'm spending this year with my family, with some kind of normal life? Even with the stuff that happens in the Port, it's...

[ He scoffs, lightly. ]

... Really kind of a miracle. That's what the holidays are, I guess.

[ Sam pauses, licking his lips. ]

I'm not sure what my point is, so-- Sorry about that. I think, just... things've changed. And I'm glad. So, Merry Christmas, everyone.
