Riddle 013: Spreading That Christmas Cheer [Action]
[Christmas Time is coming! Today, you'll probably find Edward in one of three locations.
A. At the Christmas Village, dressed in his little "Helper Elf" costume and freezing furiously. He does not look at all happy to be there.
B. Wandering through the town, dressed in a warm, green pea-coat, a jade scarf wrapped around his neck, just admiring the winter scenery.
C. Back at home, meticulously setting something up on the dining room table. Once he's finished, he'll call upstairs.]
Slugger? Susan? I'd like it if you could come to the dining room, please. ...Susan, you're free to call upon your Grandfather, too, if you like.

...perhaps I overreacted a bit.

What set you off?
[What makes you tick, Mr. Nigma? What makes you... lose control.]
edit
...I'd never gotten along well with my own father. I did everything I could to impress him and it was never enough. And---well. I'm not your father. I know I'm not.
[Or Susan's husband. Or Death's grandson-in-law. Seriously, why is his house so weird?]
But I figured... I don't know. With enough of an effort, you'd respect me. Everyone in this house would.
[Cue Rodney Dangerfield routine.]

After another moment's hesitation, Slugger bows his head toward the box under his arm...]
Thanks.
no subject
[Perhaps next time he should just get Slugger something he actually wants, instead of projecting all over.]
no subject
That said, he'll just be quietly turning to leave now...]
