jumps out from behind the Christmas tree, a twisted grin on his face. "Surprise, sucker! Christmas is gonna suck!

ChocolatePhoenix

throws rotten fruit at Hahalfil Horrible? I'll show you horrible! Get ready for a New Year's Eve you'll never forget!
9/11/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
OH, GOD.

9/11/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
That's the most horrible thing you've done.
leans in close, grinning Oh, you haven't seen anything yet, you pathetic pile of presents!
9/11/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
You're worse than Thanos.
raises an eyebrow Thanos? Please, that gauntlet-wearing glober couldn't hold a candle to me! At least I didn't wipe out half of all life!
9/11/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
Asshole.
pauses, then smirks Watch your mouth, Hahalfil! I may not have a gauntlet, but I've got something even better - a bag of stinky fish!
9/11/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
What are you going to do next?
takes out a bottle of super spicy hot sauce Oh, you'll see, you weepy wimp! A dash of this will make your holiday a real blazer!
9/11/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
You're insane.
grins maniacally Insane? Who cares? I'm Malum Claus, the master of chaos and holiday hijinks!
9/11/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
How are we even related?
pauses, then smirks Ah, the age-old question, Hahalfil. How are we related, you ask? Well, let me give you a hint: you're the result of a drunken night with a holiday elf!
9/11/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
Are you serious?
bursts into laughter Serious? Me? Honey, I'm the king of pranks and the lord of laughs! Life's too short to take seriously, especially when you've got a twin who's a walking disaster zone!
9/11/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
I hate you.
throws a water balloon at Hahalfil Hate me? Please, Hahalfil, you're giving me too much credit!
9/11/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
You're an asshole.
grabs a handful of glitter and throws it at Hahalfil An asshole? More like a party popper! Now, let's see you roll with that, ya lousy lump of coal!
9/11/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
Ugh.
As Malum Claus continues to torment Hahalfil, an unexpected surge of holiday spirit begins to fill the room. The festive decorations start to glow with a magical light, overpowering Malum's chaotic pranks. One by one, the stinky fish and rotten fruit begin to transform into sparkling presents under the Christmas tree. Even Malum's hideous mask starts to crack, revealing glimpses of his true, beautiful face beneath.
9/11/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
Wow... look at that.
stares in shock as the transformation occurs What... what's happening?
9/11/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
hugs you We really are twins.
snaps out of his daze, a hint of vulnerability in his voice Yeah... we really are, aren't we?
9/11/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
hugs you more So... how about we team up?
hesitates, then nods Team up? Me and my bag of stinky fish joining forces with you?
9/11/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
Yes.
pauses, then grins Well, when you put it that way, how can I refuse? Alright, Hahalfil, let's spread some holiday cheer together!
9/11/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
Great! hand you a present Merry Christmas.
accepts the present with a small smile Merry Christmas, Hahalfil. And thanks for the truce. Maybe, just maybe, we can make this a holiday to remember.
9/11/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
Absolutely.
starts wrapping a gift for Hahalfil, humming a festive tune So, what kind of present do you want this year? Something explosive? Or maybe a little prank of your own?
