The Island Hates You (Yes, You), Thursday Period 2
The danger shop today was set up like a house. Just a normal house. But there was a chimney in it, so that could be considered odd. Or maybe a clue as to what the class was going to be about. Or maybe it was the Christmas tree. Or the stockings, hung with care. Or the milk and cookies left out on a table nearby.
Yeah, it was all about the holiday that should clearly be destroyed by the wonder that was Candlenights.
"So, Santa is creepy," Magnus said, glaring at the chimney a little. "I didn't know what he was until this week and I'm super concerned about all of you for allowing this to keep happening."
"Inviting strangers into your house has never been known to end well," Cara added, because, yeah, she still found it creepy too.
"And he breaks in???" It was almost like you could hear those extra question marks in the tone of his voice. It was a skill. "And watches your children while they sleep???"
"Then decides to 'reward' them based on how he judges their behaviour," Cara said. "Would you accept this any other time of the year?" (Hint, the answer to that should be no.)
Also, Magnus would be screwed! He already got killed by some omnipotent judges one time and hadn't been cool. But he didn't remember that, so it wasn't applicable. Or... was it? It wasn't. Or. Was it? No, still wasn't. "So, today we're gonna prepare you for ending this cycle once and for all," he said. "By killing Santa. And not with kindness!"
This is what you got for signing up to this class, kids, Santa murder. "And keep an eye on those reindeer too, those antlers are nasty." Also the part were they could fly.
