Ancat: When you live in this fast paced modern world, you learn to stop asking "how". Sometimes cats get a lot of money, buy army vehicles that they use to wage war against terrorists because they're bored with video games, and then stream the battle online so that everyone can see their noscope abilities. These are the times we live in.

Baru: "...sure, I'll take it I guess."
Carl: That sounds awesome!
And amoral.
But awesome.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Ancat: Well, you can't spell "amoral" without "moral"!
Carl: True...
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Quartz: I must say I do object to the idea of using our friend as a test subject like this >.>
Mercuria: Why not simply get her consent then?
We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)Lisa: Yeah, If she says no, we'll figure something else out. I'm not sure what, but knowing my home it'll involve bribing some weird industrialist to help us or something weird like that.
Quartz: Is there no way around having someone take on the curse to take a look at it?
Mercuria: Can you think of anything?
We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)Lisa: Hmmmm...
...!
Wait, I got it. The curse is obviously in the brain of the person who made it, and we are starting to see the emergence of brain scanning technology.. So theoretically we could-
Ancat: Cut his open his head and sell his brain to a scientist?
Lisa: ...I was going to say tell the authorities about this when we turn him in, but that works too. >.>

Mercuria: They can do that now?
We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)Lisa: Well, it's still in the experimental stages, but yeah. The procedure might take a while, but there's no risk to us.
Mercuria: If there's no risk at all, then yes, I am very in favor of it.
We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)Lisa: -nods- Alright, that settles that.
Carl: No risk to us is the best kind of risky move.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Quartz: ... The idea was to examine the curse to locate the man in the first place >.>;
Lisa: Well, everyone seems pretty opposed to anything that would involve direct contact with the curse, so we have to do something else.
Fortunately, I do have an alternate idea. See, Asagi and Lovisia went to talk to Santa Claus, and they learned some interesting information. Apparently Santacorp has a currently unused magical lab. They originally used it it to create Mother Christmas, the living embodiment of all things Christmas - odd, I know. But it might be useful for our purposes, too.
Quartz: Well, if they do let us use it, I'd say we can get something good out of it

Carl: Would it be possible to make a second Christmas?
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Mercuria:Although that is probably the best idea we have had so far. The construction of spiritual matter on par of a literal spirit of a holiday would likely need specialized arcane engineering. Analysis of what we intend to do would be child's play.
I do hope that creating a second spirit of this scale wouldn't be needed, though, because it would mean quite a lot is going wrong.
-Meanwhile, Asagi...is still standing next to the giant spooky magic hole, staring into its contents- We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)
Carl: So, "if we need to make Christmas II, everything is on fire and we're probably dead anyways". Got it. >.>
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Lisa: ...Hang on a second.
I don't know if we strictly need to recreate the spirit of Christmas in a lab, but it would definitely make things simpler for us. Her just existing might weaken this Grin'ch guy considerably, if I'm up on my holiday lore.
To be honest, I don't know how difficult doing this will be. However, we do have a whole storage house worth of toys, which should in theory provide us with the necessary Christmas cheer. The only other thing g we need is extensive magical knowledge, and between Mercuria and Baru...
I'll leave it up to everyone, but I think you might be stumbled upon something there, Carl.
-Well Asagi, in contrast to the gross, eldritch hellscape the junkyard boys ended up in, the world on the other side of this portal looks pretty slick. Almost like some sort of matrix-esque cyberspace world-

Mercuria: How did he even stuff them inside?
