He loved this time of year.
He hated the cold.
Sora stood amongst the busy players rushing too and fro through the city, half smiling, half shivering in the artificial snow. Despite the fact that the Core wasn't outside, the majority of the staff agreed that the Core was the safest place to hold this event and as such was coated with a fake blanket of white.
Unlike other occasions, Sora's holiday uniform called for a change of color in his baggy shorts, going from a black color to a bright red, the yellow belts shifting to a black color. His shirt remained normal, but his vest turned a red similar to his pants, with white fluff around the edges of the sleeves and waist area. Topping this off was a Santa Claus hat atop his head, though the white fluff did little to help warm the administrator up at all.
The only thing Sora had hoped for was another member of the administration to show up soon, he hated being out in this weather, and he either needed someone to take his spot, urgently.

There was a sound of metal footsteps crunching through the fake snow in the Nintendo Administrator made her way through it. Despite the armor she wore, it was easy to see that she was angry. It was also easy to see why.
"If I find the person who altered the color scheme, they are dead," she growled as she stalked up to Sora. The outer plating on the arms and legs of her armor, as well as the lower torso and pauldrons, were a festive green color, and added to the rest of the armor's red color... someone must've thought it funny to give her armor Christmas colors.

Sora huffed as he noted the angry look in the admin's eyes through her visor as she approached him.
"Don't complain. At least you have full body armor." Immediately after this, Sora let out a loud sneeze before huddling his arms together in an effortless attempt to gain even the smallest amount of warmth.

"Bless you. Have you tried lighting something on fire, Sora?" Samus asked, her voice softening a bit at the boy's plight. "Shouldn't be too hard for you." Looking around, Samus peered across the bustling streets with her Scan Visor. She ignored all of the moving players and NPCs, instead looking for an inanimate object. "Maybe if there's a trash can or something..."

Kite walked in, instead of holiday colored clothes, he chose rather to have a santa hat,"Woah there Samus, looks like Saint Nick can hack the naughty A.I.s that choose not to be festive."
He was trying very hard to contain himself. While he didn't do it, he had a damn good idea of who did.

"Samus, do you remember the last time I tried setting something on fire for that purpose...?" For a moment Sora shuddered at the 3-7 people caught up in the accidental burst of flame, but brushed that from his memory.
"...I'll pass on that idea."

Even as Sora replied, the arm cannon on glowed orange before opening up, the barrel lengthening forward as a dark red glow emanated from the opened section. Aiming the weapon at Kite, she said, "Oh look, Sora, something we can set of fire so you can keep warm."

"I dare you to try it, You'll be on the ground in seconds before you can even fire," Kite said in a somewhat sarcastic, somewhat arrogant tone.

From a rooftop, nearly two stories up, Scept began to cackle uncontrollably. To a random NPC who had peered up curiously he said, "Lesser of two evils, eh? However, I must say, Samus. That suit of yours is quite festive. Either that or your a tree hugger. Whichever it is, you've gone up a step in my book, one more if you fry hotshot here. Get it? Hot shot?" Scept began into a state of almost giggles now, and toppled over his glass of half drained, pure eggnog.

"Take it from me Scept, you should be thankful I haven't beaten the hell out of you. By the way, do remember a certain virus report that you couldn't write because you were going to be 'out of town'. I don't think Gahm would like to hear about that very much."

Scept's smile faded, turning to a cold look of frustration and anger. In a very quiet tone, he spoke, "Kite, you should know very well I never leave the system. That is to say if your stupid brain ever figured out that it had a job to do, not threaten random players that you could slaughter them if you chose to."
Scept stood up on the rooftop, panting with rage, "Do your damned job, Kite, and leave the people who suffer from the system's controller's mistakes!" Scept spat at the ground around Kite's feet and picked up the remaining eggnog, swallowing its contents. With another look of pure loathing, Scept spoke, "There's no meaning behind your words anyways, you wouldn't attack me if I stole half your equipment."
Tossing the cup his eggnog had been in into a dumpster, Scept turned his back on Kite, Sora, and Samus.

"I must say I find it humorous that you switched to the defensive that quickly." Kite said as he picked up a glass of red wine, "Also, arguing with someone higher up than you is sort of like shaking your fist at God. No one is there, and if there was, he wouldn't be listening, and if he was listening, all you would be doing is pissing him off. If you really want to bring my homocidal tendencies out, I guess we could just take a look at yours lately too."
Kite took a rather large swig of the wine,"Damn, I was hoping for a decent Merlot."

Samus shook her head in exasperation. "Kite, give it a rest. The kid's already left."

Kite's palm pilot suddenly went off,"Oh hell no..."
He read the following PM aloud, To all staff currently attending the Christmas Party:
A virus has been released that targets any players wearing Christmas colors. The virus will attack these accounts and cause any user control to be cut off to create a host body for the virus to reproduce. The virus has been spotted just outside the haven and must be stopped. The only current known weakness is colors and objects pertaining to holidasys besides Christmas.
Here's hoping you have enough Menorahs to fend it off, Angel commander Leo-el
"Wow, we're pretty much fuckscrewed..."
