Hey, Z! Macc called, he want us to helps him stop Santa Clause!

*blinks* Lun, I thought I told you to lay off the Mentats.

...but they so tasty and addictives... er, anyways, it true ya know. He waiting in Sibberia to storms a kinda fortres!

Hmmm... well, I'm sure Macc has his reasons. And storming a fortress sounds fun.

Better assembles zee troops, huh?

Yup, I'll take care of that. You find us some transportation.

Okies, no problems!

Later...

...so me and Lun are gonna go there to see what's up. You guys coming?

I'm guessing you want me along to keep any falling projectiles from hitting you instead?

Thanks for volunteering, Merlin.

*sighs* Well, as long as I wear my trusty met hat, I've got nothing to worry about. *puts it on*

As for me... I'm not sure I want to be part of the actual fighting, but I'll gladly act as the voice of reason, if you think it will be useful.

Sure, we may need some common sense every once in a while.

Hey, I can be quite voice-of-reasony myself, you know.

...you don't have to make it so obvious you want to be in the spotlight again, Cid. But eh, the more the merrier.

I think we all know where I stand on this...

Well, gee Sinistral, let me think... you just want to kick ass and chew bubblegum?

Exactly, minus the bubblegum chewing part.

Well, let's see, then we have three ass-kickers, two voices of reason, one piano magnet... that's a pretty well-balanced team.

Hey guys, what's up?

Hey, MM984. Wanna come help save the world from Santa Claus?

Um... sure, why not. That sounds... um... like it would serve the cause of justice. I think.

He means that he has nothing better to do anyway.

Obviously.

Look, you two...

Oh yeah, even though I'm not sure what those guys do, exactly, bring them along. Any extra help will be useful here, I think.

Yes! This looks like a job for the Lord of Paper Cuts!

How odiously onerous.

... *sigh*

Now, there's one more person that definately needs an invitation...
