Santa gets mugged and joins the Scrap Pile

Despite seeing the pictures, when Carrot Boy retold his winter-time adventures in Pocket D to Citrus Shocker, she suspected he was on drugs-- as it is well known that members of Hunger Strike are a little on the new-agey, hippy side of reality as is. He described giant bipedal reindeer and evil snow men hanging outside of a lair of nay-do-good elves called the Red caps. And not to mention some sort of connection with Father Time and Baby New Year. Figuring that perhaps the little guy had seen the Rudolph the Red Nose New Year's Special a few too many times, She asked her supergroup's up and coming star Starbryte to check out what was going on.

Starbryte went to Pocket D and confirmed that there was indeed a "winter zone" where yodeling and mountain horns sounding along the lengths of a continuous ski slope. And standing in a toga at one of the up-stairs' bar was an old guy calling himself Father Time. Starbryte was not too surprised to see an older version of Jean Claude Van Damme, with a white full beard, not wearing much else except his underwear walk in. He was accompanied by the slightly better-dressed heroine, Sparina, and identified himself as Santa Claus. He asked for Starbryte's help in obtaining his work uniform from whomever had mugged him the night before. And so Mugged Santa joined the ranks of the Scrap Pile.
