[[CS-NA]] ends up at the [[Interdimensional Soda Jerkery]], where he orders a root-beer float from [[Soda jerk (The Winter Quests)|the soda jerk]] without much idea of how a being like himself might consume it. He bumps into an uncharacteristically depressed [[Alistair Neezley]]. With CS-NA getting it across that he's looking for ways to learn more about [[Christmas]], the two head back to the Tavern together in Neezley's Void Ship, as Neelzey knows the staff are setting up the Tavern's annual party. On the way, when Neezley explains that he's feeling down because he has come to realise that his acquaintances at the [[Interdimensional Tavern]] don't like him and find his tall tales annoying, CS-NA decides to let him tell ''him'' one of his stories without interruption, which successfully cheers him up. Neezley also suggests that CS-NA start tapping Morse code as a way to communicate more precisely than with his visual holograms. At the Tavern, [[Tpxszum]] and [[SERIAL CODE 000000234]] reassure Neelzey that they do like him, and, indeed, have a [[Christmas]] gift picked out for him. Looking back over these events, CS-NA, as he moves on to the next random destination, decides that this has taught him about one key “element of holiday joy”: kindness. | [[CS-NA]] ends up at the [[Interdimensional Soda Jerkery]], where he orders a root-beer float from [[Soda jerk (The Winter Quests)|the soda jerk]] without much idea of how a being like himself might consume it.

====Chapter 7==== | |||
After [[Pythagoras-858]] jumps after [[Juliet-178]] into the [[Troll]]'s cave, the three of them somehow end up teleporting to the [[Interdimensional Tavern]], where they are greeted by [[Tpxszum]], whom Juliet greets as an old friend. As introductions continue, the Troll gives his name as [[Tero Trollgarsson]], and Juliet explains how she transported him, Pythe and herself to the Tavern: using a flawed, experimental [[Dematerialisation Engine]] similar to the one [[Doctor Sigma]] gave [[CS-NA]], which she filched from Sigma's lab. When Tpxszum asks if they'd like to order anything, they find themselves invited to a table by a [[Odin|mysterious old man]]. | |||
