While moving through the different areas, I came across what appeared to be a mass evacuation. Cars clogged the streets, and some people were fleeing their vehicles and climbing over fences to reach shopping centers.

It's called christmas shopping, kid.

Who brought the holiday to that world, if not the emissary of X-mas himself? I must investigate!

[damn_juicebox]

Perhaps I should as well. This sounds more serious than I originally knew.
