Awww. The man was sad and clearly breaking up with someone.
Rebound.
He smiled and picked up one of the encouraging toys, a puffy polar bear, that was singing things like "Do it!" and "I believe in you" to them all and turned on his headset so the toy could continue singing into the microphone to help him continue.
"Heeeeeeyyyyy. No. You can do it. The toys believe in you. I believe in you too."

"That's the spirit!" said Santa encouragingly, "Now let's all have a great big hug." And he did, crushing Rep, Melvin, Jordan, Kostya, Caroline, Lucky and Jake into a big bear hug.
Before anyone could genuinely pass out from asphyxiation, the train suddenly ground to a jarring halt, all sorts of toys and candy gremlins running around in panic. Someone had destroyed the rail tracks up front. As they scrambled to fix the problem, immediately cannibalizing some of themselves to create new pieces of licorice patching, there was an eye-searing blue light-
- And Santa was on the ground slightly unconscious, weight half-crushing Melvin and Jordan.
And there was Caelius, wasting no time in tying Santa up with a Runic type of rope, lots and lots of it. He managed enough time to give everyone the glare of extreme hatred when there was the sound of gunshots from above. Swearing even more, the Death lead exited the cabin again, and there were the sounds of scuffling outside.
"I got a great idea!" said Santa, who's beard was beginning to slightly peel off, "you should untie me!"

DMG TO TRAIN: 4 and I have no idea what the total is I'M SORRYAny panic at the thought of ruining Christmas seemed to have begun to melt away - especially when she was abruptly hugged and bombarded with cookies. Delighted, she gave Ember a tight squeeze in return. "Hey! Merry Christmas! Festive! I'm, um..." She wasn't really sure what they were doing, so she pressed the earpiece of her communications and listened. Instead of actual mission information, she was privy to the information of Mark abandoning his plans of blowing up the train, then apparently sobbing. "Ohhh, I want to blow things up. No kidnapping...but...yeah, explosions!" Her eyes lit up at the thought as she now stuffed a handful of the actual train into her mouth, savoring the taste of the icing. "C'mon, I want explosions!" Her attempts to convince Mark were being spoken awkwardly into the headset that she held in her confection-covered hand. There was some muffled sounds as she dropped it to have another of Ember's cookies, offering her appreciation with a smile and an exaggerated yummm. HP: 30/40 JOY: 20

Jake was going to have to make it VERY CLEAR that no one but HIM touched him, but was somewhat thankful once again for Caelius for saving their asses (maybe he should write him a thank-you note).
Jake glared at Santa, trying his goddamn best to fight off this strange feeling of excitement. Perhaps he was excited. To finally be rid of Santa.
"I got a BETTER idea. How about you shut the ******** up," he hissed, glaring menacingly.+ EVERYONE

Rep found himself in the horrible situation of his two idols in a strange situation.
He took a step forward, looking at Cael helplessly, paused and then pouted.
"Guyys. Don't fight." he said. "Boss. Maybe you should untie him. Or ...at least...use...christmas lights or tinsel. Or er...something less horrible."

Jordan was being a little bit squashed. Normally this would have been a source of concern, but as it was he was surprisingly not alarmed. "Little help here," he said, calmly, and attempted to crawl out from under Santa's tied-up bulk.

Nope, the leg was not helping things at all. Though it wasn't as if Gretchen was all that fast to begin with. Understandably. She kept running, trying, and failing, to grab at the handles on the side of the train. ---------------------- Liam had much better luck. He was quick on his feet, relatively agile. It didn't take long to catch up, to throw himself on board, and to make his way through the cabins, towards the sound of voices. "Caroline?" He spotted a vibrant wealth of red curls and made his way over to her. "This place is nuts. There's candy canes everywhere, gnomes," he snorted. "One of them bit me." He gave his left index finger a telling suck before the rather iconic red suit drew his attention to a bond figure on the floor. "Hey, is that...?" Yes. Yes it was. ---------------------- Peyton had also found her way to the majority of the others, and she had wandered up beside Jordan wordlessly, gaze fixated on Santa Claus. "Why is he all tied up?"

Melvin was waiting in for Mr. Stand-By-Me before the train shook and Santa went to become the Temple of Doom Boulder and landing on top of him. The giant Christmas Bulb of red was heavy and Melvin was left winded and in pain once more, gritting his teeth as he tried to shove the heavy mass off his non-consenting body.
Luckily, Caelius came in his pristine, immaculately dressed way and bound up - Santa of all people.
What a horrible Christmas. :c

Santa gave Jordan a wink, and from this angle it was painfully obvious who he really was.

4 DAMAGE DONE TO TRAIN (same, IDK mass total neutral 10? Maybe?)
Melody considered summoning Whisper to attack the train for just a moment when it dawned on her that again THIS TRAIN WAS MADE OF GINGERBREAD. Cael didn't say how to stop it, just to do so. So she smeared the fist full of snow across a bit of the icing covered doorway and took a great big bite out of it. Strawberries!
It was then the train decided to come to a screeching halt, sending her through a gingerbread wall with her mouth still full.
JOY - 10

Lawrence hadn't gotten on the train and had made no effort to run after it either, because running meant effort, possibly sweating and maybe messing up his hair. Instead he wandered along at his own pace, sometimes stopping to poke a bit of wreckage with a toe but for the most part feeling wholly justified in not actually being on the train at all.
It was quiet and peaceful and he found on the whole he liked it here.

Will she make it?
Yes she will!
Gretchen finally managed to grab a hold of the train with one last, all-out leap of faith, and she rather gratefully pulled herself up and in, breath coming in pants.
Now she just had to find everyone else.

Both Melody and Peyton, if they strained hard enough, could see the Death lead fighting what looked like a really thin Santa with no beard and glasses wielding dual guns. It was a brief fight and said Santa fell off the train with a loud thump, bleeding from one arm, landing right next to them.
"Deal with him," yelled the Death lead, for what passed as a yell these days. He didn't bother explaining what that meant before he disappeared, leaving them with the cargo.

Tiny toys and candy pieces were slowly but very steadily gnawing at the rope tying the Santa in the conductor's booth up. It probably wouldn't take too long for them to free him if left unchecked. OOC If you want to attack the toys freeing santa, they have a total of 30 HP BUT you gain +5 ADDITIONAL joy every time you attack

Melvin also attempted to get out from under Santa, reaching out for anything and then sighing as he laid there.
Looking over, he noticed how Santa was looking at Jordan.
Everyone was getting action and he wasn't. He wanted a cozy fireplace with someone - not THIS!
Pressing his hands on the ground, he tried to heave himself up and Santa OFF!
