It's a bit cold to be rummaging through trash bins, don't you think?

When it's warmer they usually smell.

[time_shattered]

That's true, I suppose. What are you looking for?

[off_beet]

Bottlecaps, mostly. They're a little different than the ones from home, but I suspect they'll offer nearly as much protection.

[time_shattered]

That's it? You could have simply asked for some.

[off_beet]

I wanted it to be something of a surprise.

[time_shattered]

Seems like an odd surprise. I'm not sure what "protection" bottlecaps could provide.

[off_beet]

Most good surprises are odd, I find.

...I'm not entirely certain either, though I imagine since corks are good protection against Nargles, perhaps these will be helpful against Santa.

[time_shattered]

That may be a small comfort to some, perhaps. Though, I can't say I understand your logic.

[off_beet]

Oh, I will be happy to explain it to you!

I have, based upon evidence gathered from experience, come up with a hypothesis.

[time_shattered]

[Shrugs] Fine, I'll listen.

[off_beet]

Bottlecaps are similar to corks, and this Santa seems to be very much like Nargles.

[time_shattered]

I don't know what a Nargle is.

[off_beet]

You should be very happy for that.

[time_shattered]

If they're anything like this sadistic version of Father Christmas, then I suppose I am.

[off_beet]

...I fear this Santa Claus is much worse than Nargles. Nargles are only acting as Nargles do, and he acts as something other than what he represents entirely.
