A Chaos Carol

## Premise

Animas is fast approaching, but not everyone is feeling the holiday cheer. Perhaps a trip to the Framor Town Animas Market will put a smile on those faces?

## Plot Summary

In the days leading up to Animas, Gille, whom has taken up residence in one of the rooms of Mersel's apartment, has become broody and has not come out the room all day. Mersel calls Bob and Rad over, as he is worried.

When Bob and Rad arrive, Gille is sulking, but he comes out of the room at their request, and when Sandy realises that she should have gotten presents for the others, they all decide to go to the neighbouring town of Framor Town, to an Animas Market that is taking place there. Bob offers to drive.

Before they head out, Gille shares some magic candy with Sandy and Bob, and their voices were hilariously altered for the trip.

As they arrive at the Market, after a short experience with some plastic spiders, Bob, Gille, and Mersel head in one direction as Sandy shoots off in another with Rad on her shoulders. As she looks hurriedly through the market, she approaches a stall with a number of wooden dolls, and accidentally kicks on that was sitting in the show. To her surprise, it squeaks in response, and when she picks it up, it talks to her.

The green painted doll asks Sandy for help, and Sandy agrees. But suddenly, Sandy finds herself to be a little different, and much smaller... looking up at a face that she doesn't recognise. The giant puts her down on the table and runs off. Rad manages to grab her before he's out of range, but the person he was sitting on tossed him off, dropping him into the snow.

Bob, with the others, looks over just in time to see Rad vanish down an alleyway in pursuit.

Bob, Gille, and Mersel run after Rad, and they catch up to him outside a small museum, which is currently ringing a security alarm. Rad holds Sandy up to them, who is distinctly distressed, and after some discussion, head into the museum with intent to catch 'Sandy'.

Once inside, they discover that one of the artefacts, a pink vase, had been stolen by the girl with pink hair and heart eyes, and she had fled out the back door. They give chase, and after following her tracks in the snow, find her in a construction site, handing the vase over to two short, dark grey coloured toons. They also discover a little girl inside a magic circle, who appears to be the one controlling Sandy's body.

The two toons instruct the girl to attack, but before she can do so, Gille charms her. Mersel steps in to charm the two dark toons as well, and Bob takes Sandy up to her body and dispels the magic, returning Sandy back to her body. Under Mersel's charm, the two toons are instructed to hand the artifact over to Bob, who promptly stashes it in his hammerspace.

The charm on them seems to wear off sooner than expected through, and the two demand they get the vase back. When Bob refuses, and Gille taunts them, they call for reinforcements, making some choice remarks that displease everyone immensely. A lanky Frankenalie with blue hair steps out of the shadows, and is instructed to attack. There was something not quite right about him.

He only manages to get one unsuccessful swing in at Bob before he is taken down, a bone-shattering blow from Sandy's lolly pop sending him slamming hard into some construction equipment. The party turned their attention to the other two toons, and look as though they are about to receive the same treatment. However they escape before they can be finished off, using a strange rope item.

The little girl was by the blue haired toon's side, crying her guts out. Rad, Bob, and Mersel head over to the two of them and not only do they heal him slightly, Bob dispels the magic that was controlling him. After some more healing, he finally is able to wake up, and shed some light on the situation: The pair of them had been travelling for over a week when they came across the two dark toons with a cart, who offered them a ride. They had been tired, so they took them up on the offer. But as to what happened after that, he couldn't say.

Gille on the other hand was comforting Sandy, hugging her close.

When police sirens finally sounded in the distance, they headed back to the market. The two introduced themselves as Missy and Chifley Forde. Missy assisted Gille in choosing presents for the others, and Chifley purchased some blind boxes with small magical items inside for each of them, even though Mersel objected.

The party left the Forde kids at the Framor Town train station before heading back to Toon Town, and exchanging gifts before enjoying a large holiday dinner, care of Mersel.
