Plot

Bibliophile-962 is organising a Christmas party of his own in the Cupid Homeworld. Having ordered some Christmas pudding from Baker-954, he asks Larrikin-1029 to go and collect it, interrupting his excited explanation of the game of snap-dragon. Running across the Mainland Cloud, he arrives at the building of the Department of Baked Goods, where Baker tells him to be careful with the dessert, as he hasn't got time to make another. Immediately after departing, Larrikin is nearly knocked over by Foreman-964, who's flown into a frenzy due to Philatel-426 “[stealing] all of [his] documents approving new construction”, and then causes Marksmanship-522 to crash his Fog Ship into a street sign while swerving to avoid him. After many other close calls, he finally makes his way, beaten and bruised but with the pudding intact, to the Department of Documentation's break room; there, he briefly thinks he's failed at the last minute when he accidentally drops the pudding into the snap-dragon bowl, only to learn, when Bibliophile returns from his errand collecting decorations from Celebration-665, that this is precisely where the pudding is meant to go in a traditional game of snap-dragon. Larrikin's glee is short-lived, however, when Bibliophile absently asks him to run back to the Department of Baked Goods' building to get the cranberry pie, which Bibliophile had forgotten to ask for the first time around.
