Santa: Hello, young lady. I'm glad you made it - Mother Christmas isn't exactly in good health right now.
So I suppose you two must have some questions for me, yes?
-You successfully jump in the garbage-
-one thing you both notice as you peer through the trash is that the robot dogs appear to be hanging around one particular pile of junk-
-Almost in a protective sort of manner-
-*If Oliver can notice Roy, he gets out his revolver but it looks different
. He aims down at one dog's head then gives Ollie a thumbs up, he's gonna cover Ollie's ass if things go south on the sneak-sneaks.*

Santa: Truthfully? I'm not completely certain. I can tell you this, however. Recently, our security cameras recorded a very suspicious and sinister looking individual tampering with our toys.
-he shows some footage of this fellow
infiltrating Santa corp before the video mysteriously turns to static-
We have given him the code name "The Grin'ch". It is believed that he has cursed our toys with dark magic that allows him to lure and capture anyone who comes into contact with our toys.
-Once you get within a few meters of the doggos-
-one immediately becomes aggressive and opens semi-automatic fire at Oliver with a gun hidden in its mouth-
-It's not so much an entrance, but the back of the building has cracks in it that would imply it might give way if you were to apply enough force-
-Oliver gets shot in the head-
-Strangely, this doesn't seem to hurt him much, and he immediately responds by Stimming, lightspeeding past all the doggos and right into the portal-
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Santa: Twas the night before Christmas, actually. You see, we only found out what happened while we were in the middle of delivering presents the next morning, Unfortunately, by then the damage was already done.
@Lovisia: I didn't believe it either, but... well, frankly I don't have much of a choice but to accept that's what happened.
-Robo doggo is shot in the mouth by Roy-
-Unfortunately, these doggos are made of really tough stuff and this doesn't phase it much-
-However, this distracts all of them to the point that Oliver is able to rush by them and into the portal-
-Now you just have to join up with Oli and get past the robo doggos who are now jumping at you, Roy-
-Kaboom-
-You have made yourself a makeshift door, Baru-
-You manage to get passed the doggos, Roy-
-Not without taking a bit from one, though-
-At any rate, you both end up in the strange dimension the doggos were guarding-
-Which is... what the fresh hell is this
◊?-
-You find yourself in some strange, Cronenburgesque, hellish fleshworld-
-...there's also some Christmas trees, oddly enough-
-
-Oliver barely avoids throwing up by the grace of being physically incapable of doing that-
-Instead he just backs up against a wall and emits a robot screech-
-Meanwhile, back in the junkyard, a man stumbles into the open
◊, waving two extraordinarily weird-looking guns around as he blitzes the dogs with gunfire-
???: Wait, where'd everyone go?
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."

Roy: "Kay."
-*Leaps into a large trash can to hide in.*
