[ open ] as cuddly as a cactus, as charming as an eel

Date & Time: December 24th (backdated), sometime in the morning onwards
Location: The Museum of Old and New Art
Characters: An assortment of current residents of the creepy castle
Summary: Ill-timed maintenance, i.e. The Unintentional Ruin Of Christmas
Warnings: None!

Though it had taken some elbow grease and a certain level of penguin bloodshed, the castle has been a veritable haven of heat and light for the last couple of weeks, what with the presence of a surprisingly robust (and reasonably intact) geothermal power generator brought online. The snowy days have passed in relative calm since, though once or twice the more attentive may have caught the odd tremor in the ground (faint, perhaps no more than the rumble of a passing vehicle or heavy machine).

And so, when the occupants of the castle wake up this morning to find their breath misting in the air of their respective rooms, they might find it perhaps mildly disconcerting.

There's a helpful message on the network, should one turn to their tablet for answers:

To the residents of the MONA and associated premises:

Due to technical issues with the geothermal system, and for the safety of all residents, it has proven necessary to put all operations on hold for the next 24-48 hours. Efforts are being made to restore them in the shortest time possible.

Space heaters and portable lights are available in the main hall.

Sincerest apologies for the inconvenience.

[ Xerxes Break chooses this moment to exit the bathroom, now dressed in his purple snowsuit. He actually makes it look good, probably because he's so thin, the puffiness of the suit make him look more normal-sized. He is zipping it up at the throat and giving his wet hair a good shake (which certain persons in the room might see in slow-motion anime style, water droplets flying).

At which point, he hears the commotion, and comes to the conclusion that either:

1. Having once had a taste of forbidden fruit, Kevin is now insatiable.
2. Some other shenanigans have transpired.

He makes the appropriate probability calculation, and cries: ]
