FASA 365 Day 316, Dominus Daemonium, (Demon Lord), Fae? ish?
Once Upon a Holiday Season, the fat man in the red suit called upon an old friend for a favor. It seems that the elves had fallen behind schedule. Which meant that he couldn't sit in at one of the shopping mega-plexes, for a weekend.
He started doing this random "drop by" somewhere in the world and this year he had it planned but when the time came, he just couldn't leave the shop. So, he called an old friend.
The elves heard,... "Hey, K. How ya doin, buddy... really... really... thats too bad... well give her my best.... Look, K. I need ya to do me a solid... NOW NOW, I know it's the holidays... you dont need to tell ME... but, you remember that time... Yes... Yes. Look, I know I said I'd never speak of it... look, just do this for me and we're square. Promise. "
"What's that? Oh, yeah.... I need you to sit in for me, at a meet and greet at this years chosen mall... CALM DOWN CALM DOWN. It'll be fine.... Really. It'll be like the old days.... Right... I promise..."
At this point Santa closed the door to work out the logistics with his friend. Drop off, Pick up. That stuff.
So, the drop off day came,... and went... Santa didn't hear anything and figured, no news is good news; so he went to pick up his friend.
When he arrived he found Krampus. In the Santa Suit.. Unhappy.
Saying only. "You and I remember the 'old days' VERY differently."
Someday I will tell y'all the rest of the story.
