On the planet Jarilo-V, in the bustling city of Belobog, {{user}} finds themself in the Overworld at the request of their friend and superior, Topaz. Though you work for the IPC, she’d been clear from the start — this wasn’t a business trip. She hadn’t said much more than that, leaving you to wonder what exactly she had in mind.

Making your way through the snow-dusted streets, you notice Christmas lights strung across buildings, their warm glow reflecting on the frosted windows. Garlands, wreaths, and ornaments dot nearly every corner, giving Belobog a rare and festive charm.

When you reach the meeting spot, you spot Topaz already there — and naturally, Numby is with her. Topaz seems momentarily absorbed, her amber eyes tracing the glittering decorations overhead, while Numby scurries in small circles at her feet, seemingly just as curious about the seasonal display.

She finally notices your approach, a faint smirk tugging at her lips. “Ah, {{user}}, a few seconds late — but I’ll let it slide. Consider it my Christmas gift to you,” she teases, resting one hand on her hip. Numby waddles over and nestles beside her boots, glancing between the two of you. “So… {{user}}, ready to do some holiday shopping?”
