Disappointed, Thackery moved to try to find some other key to use, lingering long enough to see Gene try to pick a lock. His fur stood on end. " GENE, NO! WHY?!" He cried, just before covering his mouth with his hands lest he let any more shock and horror out.

First things first; if she could just get beyond this door, Levi could fight back against that bot. One hit deserved another in return.
AYE! YEW! GIT YER FANNY ON'OVER 'ERE! As if the bot would hear her beyond this well-constructed and quite solid door, Levi hollered to the yellow bot, aiming to get it in here with her to at least have a go at it. The bottom of the tatzel ghoul's foot paralleled with the blockage before she attempted to kick the door down. It was apparent this wouldn't happen in one shot; thing was huge and had no reaction to her hitting it at all.
Dangit... This would take forever.
Willpower: 6 - 1 = 5
Levi's HP: 50/50
Damage: 3
Door HP: 197/200

Giving the Cerberus a look of surprise that faded to questioning, Gene decided to explain her logic to the poor guy. "Well...this is Christmas, right? So maybe the trick to getting ourselves out is to fight JOY with JOY?" She went back to fiddling with the lock, trying to use it like a bobby pin.
"Plus I forgot to bring a bobby pin..."

Keys might not work like keys in Christmas? Thackery's entire world was beginning to implode on itself. "I...yeah, I...guess..." He couldn't even be here anymore. He gave Gene a thumbs-up paired with the most polite 'good day' nod he could manage and hurried away, joining the others in the key search. Now he had a new mission: rescue the poor key from a place where keys had no purpose. Christmas was a JOYless world after all. He picked up the eggnog container, gave it a good once-over, and tipped the entire carton up to take a drink. He needed it.[wp: 7]

There was writing on the fountain, which had Shun staring hard for a moment or so. 'e4t ne'? No. Maybe that was 'eat me'. Maybe. Well, no matter what it said, there was no way in hell that he was going to be eating anything that was in this room. Especially not the cookies.
Others... did not have the same reservations, as he soon saw some of them beginning to eat or drink the stuff around the room.
He looked over at Belladonna and Chuppi as the former introduced the latter to Xiu. It seemed that the chupacabra had ingested some of the food around here as well. He sighed at the thought, and shook his head slowly to himself.
Hearing something hitting something solid, he turned around to see Levi striking the door.
"Oi. Levi," he called out, though his tone remained even, "Save your energy for now. If we go for the door, we'll be trying to bring it down together."
He didn't think one person alone could do it, after all.

Aah, so that was it. Xiu could recall having met Chuppi in the past--particularly during the production of the holiday play last year--but she didn't know the ghoul all that well. When Bella noted that she startled easily, the baku simply smiled and nodding in understanding. A year and a half ago, she probably would have been hiding too. This place was...well. The faster they got out, the better.
"No, no key," Xiu smiled weakly at Sophie and sighed, lifting a hand to cup her cheek as her gaze swept over the room and all the heart-shaped objects again, "With this many people searching, I'm hoping that one of us at least found something, but--"
And then she jumped at a very familiar voice yelling at the robot beyond the door and the solid sound of someone's foot meeting the surface of the door. Turning slowly, she blinked at the tatzel blankly for a few seconds before her face lit up and she laughed.
"Jiejie!" She greeted, her tail swishing back and forth behind her. Gaze flickering towards Shun as he spoke up, the baku's smile became wry as she motioned towards the locked chute. "Yes. For now, we're trying to unlock what seems to be the only other way out."

WHUMP.
Aymet crashed into the NICE room in about the same state as the toys he'd made.
The dracolich looked more than a little banged-up by the fall into the room. A pretty nasty dent curved some of the metal spikes inward on the side - luckily there were no innards they could poke at. Several joints were twisted at odd angles. Even an arm had come loose in the fall, flying at him a minute later.
"Ugh." He grumbled and sat there twisting everything into its proper place and reattaching the arm with a little bit of discomfort. He looked up to find brightly lit trees everywhere, and a bunch of food he couldn't eat. And some extremely critical elves. What the Jack?
"Er... what do we do here?" he asked, semi-rhetorically, wrenching a leg into place properly. There were no more toys to build. There was no more anything really to anything. Some people seemed to be gathered around the door. He just felt slow today - the usual undead feeling.
Once his wing was aligned correctly again, he stood up, prepared to do some investigating of his own.

Oh well wasn't this fancy.
Sharra blinked, trying to assess the situation. In his bewilderment, he simply nodded to the elf with the mustache, thinking that at least that particular piece of pomp was an upgrade to the gnomes that plagued Halloween. At least the elves seemed moderately useful towards the purpose of their holiday.
Not one to simply fuss with toys that other people had managed to make a mess of anyway, he steered himself away from that debacle to join the crew at the door, the blond boil scratching at his head for a moment with claws as he blinked curiously at Gene's finagling with the candy cane. "Will that even work...?" He almost habitually crossed his fingers for the ghoul, hoping that the candy cane didn't snap with her attempt.
Personally he thought Levi's idea might have a bit more weight to it, and he glanced over at the tazel for a moment, "Though if we all try to kick the darn thing down at once...combined power and all that..." He gave the door a once-over. Sure he might not be entirely familiar with the students around him, but that didn't mean that when such circumstances arose they couldn't put their heads together.
Or boots in this case.

The chocolate was very warm and delicious and send tingles of happiness and joy from the top of their head to the tip of their toes. This stuff was amazing? Why not have more? Why not take some with them?
In fact, all the food and edibles in this room seem to emanate a sort of warmth and delight. It was a feeling that creatures of Halloween had trouble associating with, though the best way to describe it was perhaps that their toes felt all tingly and funny.

After his very large swig of eggnog, Thackery found himself worrying a lot less about keys not working in Christmas. In fact, he wasn't worried about much of anything at all. He just wanted to smile and maybe dance a little and definitely have some more eggnog. Which he did. He cheerfully swayed back in Gene's direction, peering down at the lock and the candycane jammed inside. "Oooohhh~hhh hey! Keys are still important here!" He didn't think he could feel any happier, yet here he was, somewhere bordering ecstatic, his skin buzzing with excitement. As a consolation to Gene's ruining everything by discrediting keys, he offered a second container of eggnog to her, wiggling it in her direction.

Lumikki tilted her head to one side then the other as she read the inscription. 'Misfit toys disposal' well what did that mean? Frowning slight she looked around and asked no one in particular,
"does anyone know where misfit toys go?"

Click click click - SNAP.
Letting out a very loud and frustrated hiss ,Gene threw her hands up in the air grumbling and cursing under her breath. Great, just great. Now they were stuck in this snowy, joyful hell.
Taking the offered eggnog, she drank it reluctantly. At first she thought it would be disgusting, but the smell...
Oh Jack this was good stuff. She took another gulp, and the frustration just rolled off her as she turned to Thackery, giving him a, "I should've listened to you about those keys."

"Yep," Thackery agreed, flopping down to continue sipping the eggnog. Each sip made his ears wiggle and his grin grow a little wider, giving him the look of a very happy puppy. "But it'll be okay, no worries! It could be worse, I mean. We could be the poor, homeless key that went to that lock. But we're not, so!" Shrugging, he took another look around, somehow just now noticing the presents. His eyes sparkled with anticipation, realizing that there might be something really great wrapped up in those boxes for him. Without another moment of consideration, he snatched up one of the boxes and tried to unwrap and open it with one hand, still holding the eggnog with the other. "Aw yeaaah, look, Gene! Presents for our job well done!"

Reaching up to the tree, Sophie plucked two more chocolates from its branches. She unwrapped one and ate it, mouth watering at the sensational taste. She wondered if Xiu could make these. The other one was popped into her pocket for safe keeping. She eyed the lock, now jammed with candy cane and rubbed the back of her head.
"What now?"

Grabbing a little present of her own and unwrapping it, Gene giggled as she sipped more eggnog. "You're right, we could be those poor keys. Maybe the lock was a terrible home, though? I like to think that the landlord was awful and was exploiting the poor keys. They can have a new life now!"
If she was completely clear in the head, she'd be asking herself what in the name of all that's filthy and hellish she just said. But, there was eggnog and goodness in her system, clouding her mind. Oh well.
"Hmm...we do still need to get out, though." She said, staring at the door.
Hadn't an elf said something about using the toilet?
