Scene: Obj Holiday Mansion 1F
Narrator
Kris and Susie approach a Santa statue by the back door. Its movements are slow, shuddering, and deeply unsettling. The arm rises in an arthritic wave before freezing mid-gesture. Its eyes flicker. The sound it produces is a slowed, warbling rendition of "Hohoho" at half-speed when Kris turns it on.

Susie
Hahaha!!! What the heck is this!?
Scene: Obj Holiday Mansion 1F
Noelle
My mom collects them...
Scene: Obj Holiday Mansion 1F
Susie
Okay. How the hell do you turn it off?
Scene: Obj Holiday Mansion 1F
Noelle
Umm, just hold down the button!
Scene: Obj Holiday Mansion 1F
Noelle
Though, for some weird reason, turning it off takes power?
Scene: Obj Holiday Mansion 1F
Noelle
So it takes forever on the low battery ones, faha.
Scene: Obj Holiday Mansion 1F
Noelle
(There wouldn't be so many Santas with dead batteries...)

Noelle
(If Kris hadn't glued the cases shut trying to 'starve them'...)
Scene: Obj Holiday Kitchen
Narrator
The group enters the kitchen through a door under the staircase. It is large, clinical, and spotless. The counter curves in a semicircle from refrigerator to sink to stove. Against the far right wall stands an upright piano, well-maintained and regularly tuned, beside a permanent Christmas tree decorated year-round with the family's best ornaments. A grand dining table that seats six dominates the center, always set for six despite only one person regularly eating here.

Above the stove, mounted on the wall with professional-grade brackets, hangs a single katana.
Scene: Obj Holiday Kitchen
Susie
... Anyone gonna say anything about the giant sword?
Scene: Obj Holiday Kitchen
Noelle
Oh, it's just my mom's katana.
Scene: Obj Holiday Kitchen
Noelle
Normal knives aren't enough for dad's fruitcake! Faha!
Scene: Obj Holiday Kitchen
Narrator
In the cupboard are... cutters for gingerbread monsters.
Scene: Obj Holiday Kitchen

Kris checks the Christmas tree in the kitchen.
Scene: Obj Holiday Kitchen
Narrator
It's a highly climbable looking tree.
Scene: Obj Holiday Kitchen
Narrator
A large white piano sits in the corner.
Scene: Obj Holiday Kitchen
Susie
Woah, you play piano?
Scene: Obj Holiday Kitchen
Noelle
Umm, no. We... just kind of, um, have one. Faha.
Scene: Obj Holiday Kitchen
Noelle
No one really... plays it anymore.
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Narrator
They move into the living room, the largest open space on the ground floor. A large, plush sofa faces a coffee table in the center. Two armchairs flank the table.
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Narrator
Kris the living room fridge.
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Susie
Why is there so much... bottled water in here?
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Noelle
Umm, it's just... convenient, you know?
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Susie
(Wait until she learns about the free water from the sink.)
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Noelle
I usually bring an icy bottle with me to school,
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Susie
Huh... coulda swore I saw you using the bubbler after me before.
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Noelle
FAHA, yeah, must've been extra thirsty, that day! Phew!
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Narrator
Kris checks the back door.
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Narrator
The house's back door. No need to leave.
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Narrator
There's a standing water fridge unit by the back door, stocked with bottled water.
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Narrator
Kris notices a small, unassuming door off the living room.
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Narrator
Inside is a closet-sized room. Several boxes that resemble wrapped Christmas gifts sit inside. They are uniformly sized, sealed, and have been here for years.
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Narrator
A ventilation grate is visible on the wall. It is large enough for a person to fit through.
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Susie
(Kris is staring super intense... this room has gotta be it.)
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Susie
Sorry Noelle, but we gotta go in here...
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Noelle
To... to the bathroom?
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Susie
(Dammit, Kris!)
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Narrator
Kris heads upstairs. On the second floor landing, between two bedroom doors, a set of bronzed paper snowflakes hangs on the wall. One is large, about 30cm in diameter, surrounded by a dozen smaller ones. A fine layer of dust covers them. They have not been moved or cleaned in years.
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Susie
What's with the ninja shurakins?
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Noelle
FAHAHA! Those are snowflakes, Susie!
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Noelle
We made them from paper in Toriel’s class a long time ago...
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Susie
then why are they metal?
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Noelle
Oh.
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Noelle
My mom had then... bronzed.
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Susie
Kris, where the hell are YOUR shurakins?
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Noelle
Unm, Kris overcut their snowflake and it fell apart.
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Noelle
(I did make a new one for then, but...)
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Narrator
Kris is standing by the staircase leading up to the third floor. The landing above has a single door, flanked by red heart-shaped decorative pillows.
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Noelle
My mom just... collects heart pillows for some reason.
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Noelle
(When Kris was little, they'd take one of these...)
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Noelle
(Then pretend to "rip out their heart" and chase me.)
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Noelle
My mom just loves red heart-shaped objects?
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Susie
(click...) Yep... It's locked, all right.
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Susie
Noelle, you give it a shot.
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Noelle
Um, o-okay? (... why are we trying to open my parents' room?)
Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom
Narrator
You and Susie continue to try to open the locked door in front of Noelle.
Scene: Obj Noelle Room
Narrator
The group enters Noelle's bedroom. The walls are a gentle sky-blue with pink accent trim. The carpet is a plush, pale rose. The room was decorated for a younger girl and never updated, though Noelle has layered her own personality onto it through personal items. Trophies line a shelf above the bed. A window sofa covered in throw pillows looks out onto the street.

(She's not looking, Kris. Let's hack her computer for clues.)

Kris checks the wardrobe. It is modest, a single-door wardrobe. Small relative to the walk-in closet across the hall.
Scene: Obj Noelle Room

A clothes wardrobe. A pair of small angel wings are inside, worn out and tattered.
Scene: Obj Noelle Room
