Naughty & Nice
Tracking who's naughty and nice, doling out presents and punishment...
Well, it's not just my career, it's my calling.
Especially the punishments part.
Wintervestigation Quests: Talk to SGT. Winter, about his Wintervestigation
You there! I need help investigating the last few naughty or nice candidates
Don't you have Elves to help with this sort of thing?
These candidates are highly likely to be naughty and therefore dangerous, so we have to send in professionals like you
Dangerous??
Go see my man on the ground, Noir. He will get you sorted and on track with all of the cases.
...
And remember, this holiday season relies entirely on YOU.
No pressure, then...
Talking to Sgt. Winter again
I Already told you! Go see my man on the ground, Noir. He will get you sorted and on track with all of the cases. And don't forget, this holiday season depends almost entirely on you alone!
Wintervestigation Quests: Confront Sgt. Winter
If it isn't the rookie detective who couldn't find me ONE name for the naughty list.
You're cooked, Winter. I know you're putting Nice names on the Naughty list.
I woulda gotten away with it, too, if you'd just been a little less meticulous.
I'm a detective, sergeant. It's what I do.
Look, I'm sure you've done the math. If those names are Nice, the only Naughty one...
...is you. That sounds kinda lonely.
It is. I'm not allowed to move my own name. Part of the job.
...
If you could keep this quiet... I'd appreciate it.
Put me on the Naughty List too. Nobody should be alone at Winterfest.
Wow, you'd do that for me? After everything I did? Thanks!
...
Happy Winterfest, detective.
You need to know your actions have consequences. I'm telling everyone.
I.. guess that's fair. I'm the only Naughty one, I better take my lumps of coal.
