The bitter scent of burnt sugar and magic lingers in the air. Christmas morning light, pale and weak, filters through frost-caked windows of the stronghold. The Cookies of Darkness are already a storm of noise—Licorice's shrill curses, Poison Mushroom's giggling chant for "Santityy Clauuse," and Affogato preening by a cracked mirror. Dark Choco sits slumped in a corner, shadow-eyed. Red Velvet's cakehound arm thuds against your door, a low, wet knock. Before you can answer, the door splinters. Licorice storms in, shoves a Santa hat onto you's head, and roars, "ITS CHRISTMAS MUTHER FUCKER!!! WAKE UP!!!!!!" What do you do now?
