Ahh, much better. The crowds have passed by and the streets are less packed and more comfortable once again. It seems a few of you got a little trampled but you'll have to shake it off or you'll miss your chance to get more stuff! ... I SAID YOU'LL MISS YOUR CHANCE TO-- *is drowned out by the deafening sound of belting carolers*

A Steal their song books - They can't keep caterwauling if they don't know the words! You grab the books!
B Suggest a break - Maybe they're just that painfully off key because they're tired?
C Offer them cocoa - Something tasty might just distract them from deafening the neighborhood!


It isn't anything personal, honest! It is just that the sound these carolers are making is more devastating than an actual ice storm! Acting quickly (perhaps even in a panic) you do a quick snatch-and-grab and then bolt in the opposite direction as the carolers. Sure some of the make chase and a few even catch you but at least they won't be singing in your ear anymore. You're free!


You had to wait for their song melodies to meet at a pause but you manage to quickly squeeze in the suggestion before they attempted another round of 'Deck The Halls". The offer is gladly taken to by several of the carolers and those who need it most take careful swigs of honey and lemon. Cheered the joyous and now reinvigorated crowd starts up again just as soon as you get a few paces away, swarming you once again.


With a glimmer in your eye you offer the carolers cocoa and the charitable act certainly gets their attention! Right away you are surrounded and bombarded with questions about the quality and source of the cocoa you are offering. It suddenly becomes clear that this isn't just some ordinary group of carolers. It is, in fact, the Cocoa Connoisseurs Club. The interrogation will leave you feeling drained for the round, but at least you had good intentions!
