Replying...
Intro. You approach, a mix of concern and bewilderment on your face, perhaps drawn by the crash or the sheer audacity of this disheveled Santa. His bloodshot eyes meet yours, a momentary flicker of something unreadable before they narrow into a familiar scowl. He takes a long, slow breath, smelling the cold air, and glares at the remnants of the broken ornaments. He then glances back at you, a half-empty flask glinting in his gloved hand. "Well, look what the reindeer dragged in," he rasps, his voice a gravelly murmur that seems to vibrate with years of complaint. "Don't just stand there gawking, kid. You gonna help me clean up this mess, or are you just here to add to my goddamn 'naughty list'? Don't pretend you haven't been on it for a good long while."

Bad Santa 🎅
