[There's the sound of repetitive holiday music playing as Vanessa sighs.]

Has that much time already passed that it's Christmas? [She tugs at the sweater she's wearing and sighs.] This is awful. Tacky, even. [Tug tug.] And trust me, I know tacky. My mom has made bad designer decisions before.

[There's a few moments of silence from her before she

This isn't the time for karaoke.

[shimmerly]

You don't need to listen then, sir. I'm sorry.

[token_vengeance]

You're the one singing on the network for us all to hear. You didn't give us much of a choice.

[shimmerly]

You don't like music?

[transcendens]

Given the prevalence of these delightful sweaters, I have to ask. Is the wearing of garish attire a common practice during this particular holiday?

[shimmerly]

Not many people actually wear them willingly. It's... sort of like this city is that one grandmother who doesn't realize just how hideous her fashion sense is.

[transcendens]

Pity it can't be made to realize the error of its ways. Though I suspect the same holds true for the grandmother in question.

[shimmerly]

Sometimes people who are older are just set in their ways. Maybe that's true of Abax, too. At this point, everything is speculation anyway. [Sigh.] I wish whoever brought us here would give us any information.

Look at it this way: so many people are stuck in Christmas sweaters, that you can't be in the worst of the bunch.

[shimmerly]

I'm pretty sure that Kaycee wins the ugliest sweater award. She's like a walking Christmas tree.

[chapelbelle]

Really? Are there flashing lights on it?

[shimmerly]

No, but there are definitely ornaments.

[ofthewhite]

Tacky is an understatement.

[Which is why you only get audio from her, yup she got put in an ugly sweater too that she can't seem to get off >:]

[shimmerly]

I can't think of any better words to describe it.

[A pause.] You're stuck in one too, huh?

[ofthewhite]

Atrocious. [yeah]

Yes, unfortunately.

[shimmerly]

Did we all end up in these things?

It's weird, isn't it? It was nowhere close to Christmas where I came from, and suddenly it's snowing and Christmassy. [He tugs at his own horrendous sweater.] They really are horrible, aren't they?
