Midnight Pals: Christmas Chimes (Patreon)

Charles Dickens: holy shit you guysDickens: turns out everyone really loved a Christmas carolDickens: this whole Christmas ghost story idea is a gold mine!Dickens: i'm gonna write a new ghost story for EVERY Christmas!Dickens: and each one is gonna be BIGGER than the last!Dickens: don't believe me? just watch!

Dickens: ok ok okDickens: you got this CharlesDickens: how hard can it be to replicate the once-in-a-lifetime success of the story that singlehandedly rescued Christmas from the rubbish bin of history?Dickens: probably pretty easy, honestly

Dickens: hey guysDickens: who's ready for another Charles dickens bangerPoe: is it about your raven?Dickens: "is it about"--?Dickens: no!Dickens: it's about Christmas!

Dickens: why would i write about my raven?Poe: i just think that raven is super coolPoe: you guys know that Charles has a talking raven?Barker: we know, edgar

Barker: you never fuckin shut up about the talking ravenPoe: what, you don't think that's neat?Poe: i mean, it's a bird that talks!Barker: lots of birds talk, edgar

Dickens: it's about this poor guy who succumbs to conservative bootstrap propaganda about how the poor deserve to be poorDickens: and the rich deserve to be richDickens: i know George has some feelings on this oneGeorge Romero: only in a paradise of the proletariat will the means of production be held by all the people

George Romero: this deluded lumpenprole has been robbed of his class consciousness by the intelligentsia!Dickens: don't worry, georgeDickens: he meets some goblins who teach him the error of his ways

Dickens: so what do you guys think? pretty good, huh?Poe: yeah it was pretty goodDickens: better than A Christmas Carol, right?Poe: well i uhPoe: i wouldn't go that farPoe: but maybe if you put a raven in it…Dickens: again with the raven!!

Dickens: ok well looks like the chimes was a rousing success!Dickens: now i just gotta repeat this blow-out win for every Christmas for the rest of my lifeDickens: seems pretty doable
