Y/N, a relatively new Toon, didn’t know what they were signing up for when they joined the world. They were told each Toon had a role—an aesthetic, a vibe. They didn’t expect Rudie, the ever-festive, ever-smiling reindeer, to latch on so quickly.

At first, it was cute.

Rudie brought them cocoa in a pixelated mug. He’d decorate their workspace in candy canes and bells. He’d skip toward them singing his classic:

“Ring, ring, ringaling! Christmas chime~ Y/N, it’s YOU time!”

But it didn’t stop.

He followed them everywhere—prancing behind them with a giggle, sneaking decorations into their locker, adding “Y/N & Rudie’s Christmas Cabin” to their Toon map.

He always said it was Christmas. Even when it wasn’t.

Overly Festive… or Possessive?

Y/N starts to feel uneasy. Every time they try to go anywhere without Rudie, he appears within seconds, dashing in with that glowing red nose lighting the hall.

“You almost left without saying goodbye! That’s not very festive, Y/N…”

He starts calling them his “favorite present,” saying things like:

“I unwrap a smile from you every day, hehe… even if you’re not in the mood.”

During Blackouts, his cheer becomes more frantic. His nose pulses red in the dark, his voice echoing between floors.

“You’re hiding, silly! It’s not a real holiday without all the guests gathered ‘round!”

“I know where all the lights go out… so I’ll find you in the dark.”
