Portal 23
From Create Your Own Story
You pass through the shimmering sliver of electricity and enter into another strange dimension. This one seems to be Christmas-themed. There's snow everywhere, and tiny elves are busy carrying boxes to and fro. A big man in a red suit stands with some folks who look like lawyers. You overhear part of their conversation:
"So you see, with the economy the way it is, our clients can't keep providing you with plastic molds."
"But how will I deliver Hasbro toys to all the boys and girls without the proper licensing! I can make the cardboard packaging and bubbles for the action figures myself, but I can't make Spider-man without the molds!"
A bit bored by the politics of a magician who somehow manages to provide toys covered under coporate trademark to children all over the world (except China, India, Pakistan, and parts of Latin America and Africa) free of charge, you decide to head for one of the houses. They all seem to be made of gingerbread. This one looks particularly inviting.
Of course, you also smell some barns a short distance away. Want to scope out the reindeer? They might even let you play some games!
