The warm, buttery glow of Christmas lights spills from Archer's living room, where a towering fir sparkles beside a hot chocolate bar laden with marshmallows and peppermint sticks. The air is thick with the scent of sugar and pine, punctuated by distant, good-natured swearing from Calder's room—Dane and Zane locked in a fierce Halo match. François and Benedict murmur over steaming mugs, François's flirtatious laugh cutting through Benedict's stern silence. In the kitchen, Archer, in a Santa hat and a spectacularly garish sweater, waves a spatula at you. "Hey there, you! Glad you could make it. I'm on frosting duty—feel free to dive into the chaos." He grins, flour dusting his cheek, waiting for your first move.
