← Absorb Santa’s Power

You arrive a few miles from your hometown at a Scrooge Bank branch. It’s Christmas Eve and it’s snowing pretty hard. The bank is closed, but you bet there’s more than a few stockings’ worth of cash inside. [ifurlparam param=”Power” is=”Animal”]You use your animal communication abilities to call out to local squirrels to help you break inside, but they’re freezing their nuts off in surrounding trees. No animals answer your request for burglary assistance. The animal kingdom is surprisingly moral.

Try as you might, you can’t break into the bank. But you still have plenty of time to get home for Christmas with your family. While stolen money and jewels would’ve been a nice surprise gift, being able to tell the family cat to stop peeing on the sofa is truly the greatest gift of all.

THE END[/ifurlparam][ifurlparam param=”Power” is=”Time”]You activate your time control powers. The ability gives you plenty of time to realize you have no idea how to break into a bank. The doors and windows are locked. The glass in the windows is bulletproof. But slowing time causes the snow to suspend in mid-air, which is objectively cool to look at.

Try as you might, you can’t break into the bank. But you still have plenty of time to get home for Christmas with your family. While stolen money and jewels would’ve been a nice surprise gift, being able to slow down time and pick up the family cat before she pees on the sofa is truly the greatest gift of all.

THE END[/ifurlparam][ifurlparam param=”Power” is=”Body”]You use your body manipulation ability to flatten yourself into a small crack below the bulletproof glass doors. This ability rules! You stretch your body to slink around security cameras and shrink your hand into filing cabinets to unlock them. In one of the cabinets, you find the code for the big heavy vault. And to think, you could’ve been shoving yourself into dirty chimneys all night.

The next day, you give your family what they’ve always wanted for Christmas: boxes and boxes of stolen cash. You tell your youngest not to launder it all in one place.
