Operator: Brr, it looks cold out there. Good thing that ticket you got gives you the chance to do something that'll really warm your cockles: spreading some holiday cheer!

Othinn? Still there?

Come on, this'll be awesome! Just think of all those bluepills in the city who don't have someone to get them something special. Well, they do this year, 'cause that someone is gonna be you! Now, off you go to pick up the presents from our contact, Mackenzie Xenos.

Operator: Mackenzie Xenos should be in there with the goods.

This is going to be the city's best holiday season ever!

Taneka Rodick: I'm just here to warm up for a minute between deliveries. Whew! Sure is blistery out there. It's weird, too... I could swear I keep hearing claps of thunder, even when the sky is clear.

Mackenzie Xenos: Thanks for volunteering. You're gonna put smiles on some faces this year. I've got the presents that you'll be giving out.

Mackenzie Xenos: Have fun!

Operator: All right, I've marked your first delivery point. You'll find Tamica Affleck and Eura Giggleman there. Each of them gets a present.

Huh... I'm reading some nasty-looking snow flurries in your area. I hope you're wearing a hat and gloves out there!

Operator: Are you ready to make someone's year?

Eura Giggleman: Oh no! What is it now?

Eura Giggleman: I hate the holidays!

Tamica Affleck: What do you want? Don't we have enough trouble?

Tamica Affleck: Something for me? Don't tell me, another bill...

Eura Giggleman: You're giving this to me? I, um... Gee, I don't have anything to give you...

Tamica Affleck: This...is for me? I...

Operator: See, this is great, huh?

I'm still picking up some nasty weather around you, so watch out as you make your way to the next stop. You'll find two more people in real need of cheering up!

Operator: Hey, do you supposed this is what they'd call one of those random acts of kindness?

Abel Valle: We'll pull through. It's not like we haven't before. It just gets a little depressing around this time of year, that's all.

Abel Valle: What's this?

Ryoga Whitfield: It's been a tough year. Life likes to throw you a curve sometimes, apparently. At least we're still here.

Ryoga Whitfield: No way. Seriously?

Abel Valle: Well, I'll be-- The little things, huh? Wouldn't you know...

Thank you. And take care.

Ryoga Whitfield: Hey, wow! Talk about unexpected.

Happy holidays? You bet! Same to you!

Operator: Looks like someone sent us a little thank you of their own. I'm gonna upload these two little snowflakes to your inventory, all right? Make sure you've got a couple inventory slots free before you leave that area.

Operator: Now didn't that just give you a warm fuzzy feeling all over?

Oh, hey, I heard there are people near clubs collecting snowflakes like those. You might want to check it out.
