Lex wasn't even interested in researching Insanity - he was done with all the fog and crazy blues and weird feelings of paranoia. The boss, however, thought differently. He was to stop studying medicine and Norse and go check out some portals that had been popping up in the haunted house, like every other Hunter was at the moment. With a roll of his eyes and a grudge in his step, the tall man made his way into the house.
Once he was in, the weird stuff happened. A flash of light, a feeling like he was being picked up by the seat of his pants and thrown, and suddenly there was lots of noise. Cars, people, pigeons, bikes - all the sounds of a city.
Oh, and there was screaming. A scream the man completely recognized.
"Ami!?"

The tall man had to admit, Ami's dress was rather...gaudy. A mess of green and red, interspersed with randomly placed white stripes. Like a three year old had attempted to make a Christmas zebra. He smirked a little, before the man began hassling her. He was about to pull out Regal, when he realized that his mind space was vacant again, and that the ballpoint pen was gone.
He patted his pockets just to make sure, and found something he would rather not have. His pants and shoes matched Ami's dress...and he had a loud green shirt on, with an equally loud candy cane striped vest, adorned with fur. And on his head? The silliest of elf hats, complete with a little bell.
"Oh dear God in heav-" He was cut off, much like Ami, and dragged into the store, being told to do his damn job already you lazy wretch.

"I'm doin' fine. What're you sellin'?"
Ami looked down at the little reindeer in her hand. It was so sad looking. Truthfully, she wanted to take one back to the hunter base, but that was out of the question. "Ah I-I'm here to promote Sappy the Sad Reindeer!" she spat out. How she knew that name was beyond the point. This was embarrassing, and the man kept looking at her like he was going to eat her. It was uncomfortable.
Yet at the same time, if she didn't entertain him, she'd be fired. Above all else, Ami knew she DID NOT want to be fired. "You're doin' a fine job at that, can I take one?"
Ami handed him the reindeer, almost sad that it had to go to such a creepy man. New York was filled with these types, so she was used to it, but it didn't make it any less weird. "Enjoy your day~" she said.
The man winked and said, "Oh, I will," before stalking off to prey on some other girl in a bright, short-skirted outfit.
Worst day was the worst.

Bam, she was on the hook. Lex smirked as he piqued an eyebrow, letting his eyes twinkle a bit. Line.
"Well, he's quite interested in you too. You can take him home, given you spend twenty dollars in the store. Not a bad value, hm? He's worth plenty more." His voice was like smooth red velvet, followed by a long sip of fair trade coffee. All the expressions he made were right, and she was completely caught. Now just to reel her in.
"Oh, I'm sure it won't be hard to spend twenty dollars here." Her own voice was rather husky, almost panting. Definitely single, and very very desperate. Not that the two had anything to do with each other - he'd known plenty of single women who weren't desperate, and plenty of married women who were. The two weren't synonymous, but when they were in the same person? Magic.

"Momma, I want candy canes. They don't have candy canes here." The woman's son was tugging on the hem of her dress, big green eyes pleading for some candy. He was right - this store didn't have candy canes. Who the hell didn't have damn candy canes during the holiday season? This stupid store, apparently.
"Sorry bud. Maybe an elf will come tonight with candy canes, and you can eat them tomorrow?" A wink at the mother, who caught the meaning. Oh yes, this was good. All very very good.
"Tommy, come now, let's get some fancy chocolates for mommy so you can get the cute reindeer."
"But candy canes, momma."
"The elf will come tonight, sweety."
"But I want them now."
"Tomorrow, sweety. And they'll be the very best kind."
"THE BLUE KIND?" The child was screeching in pleasure.
"Yes, honey, the blue kind."
Message received, job done. Hells yeah.

This man in the trench coat that was buying a little barbie doll was great. Really freaking great. He was so great, in fact, that Lex slipped a box of truffles into his paper sack, and gave him the biggest smile ever, and a loud and extremely cheerful "MERRY CHRISTMAS! I LOVE YOU!" And then he hugged the man, who actually took it quite well and shrugged it off, mumbling something about creepy drunken elves.
Drunk off what? Holiday spirit? Because if that was the answer, then yes sir dee doo da he was as drunk as a skunk off holiday spirit. So drunk, in fact, he could drink a whole carton of eggnog.
"AMI! AMI OH MY GOD! LET'S GET SOME EGGNOG AFTER WORK OKAY? I LOVE EGGNOG, AND I LOVE YOU! MERRY CHRISTMAS!"
