Get a load of those...
Before you is a magic button which, if pressed, will cause Santa Claus to become real somewhere in the arctic. However, as a magical consequence of this, Count Dracula will also become real somewhere in Romania (indoors). Both will materialize knowing that they exist purely because of your actions.

You have no way of knowing the long term effects of this. Dracula may ignore you, offer to turn you, or eat you out of pique. Vampire apocalypse? Put on the naughty list for summoning a vampire? No way to know! Santa fights Dracula? Santa's Christmas-based nature should give him an edge against the unholy, but Rudolph teaches us that he's powerless by himself against fog and Drac can turn to mist so it's anyone's ball game. Even in the best case scenario where they're both grateful there's no real way to stay on the Nice List while also killing and eating people so "Christmas presents for eternity" isn't an option.

Do you press the button? Can you accept that responsibility?

Literally everyone in the world knows how to kill Dracula so the second he slips up and reveals himself it's gonna be a gold rush to be the guy who killed Dracula. After that it's free presents for everyone.

Drac will either ignore me, be grateful to me, turn me into a dracula, kill me

Overall odds are good

Yeah but also tens of millions of weirdos are going to attempt to castle doctrine Santa; do you want all those friendly fire deaths and accidental claymore detonations on your conscience?
Plus you know Santa's gonna end up in some government lab where they slice bits off until they find where the jolly comes from.
I'd push it.

Yeah I'm pushing that button because it's all about Dracula. Santa is going to die of exposure in the Arctic before anyone even knows he's there. Hopefully Dracula will track me down and end me and then I don't have to be me anymore which is all I've wanted my entire loving miserable life

Pushing that button because now it becomes possible to gently caress both Dracula and Santa and I'd say that the world is a better place for it.

If the government dissected Santa it'd be casus belli for the Catholic church to declare a holy war.

You idiots. There's a panic button underneath the button panel that calls the police and they make 100 Santas and 100 Draculas but they're all in Bulgaria 600 years ago and you don't have to deal with it.

Does Santa have any real "powers" beyond extremely fast travel one night a year? Doesn't really measure up to unleashing vampirism on the earth.

Santa Claus: Delusions of grandeur (yeah sure, visit every house in the world in one night, totally nuts), spies on children year round so as to pass judgement on them, serial trespasser, no respect for patent laws (elves making toys).

Dracula: Evil serial killer.

Why the gently caress would I want to create either of these demonic entities.

sure okay

If Santa gives enough free gifts he might break capitalism so I say its worth a shot

Vampire Santa is theoretically able to visit every house in the world in a single night, but he has to be personally invited into each home.

I'm Dracula.

I'm Pickle Dracula.

lol that's a joke that doesn't make sense to me but I like Draculas so I probably like Pickle Draculas too.

Like a big pickle with fangs that wears a cape and bites people and turns them into cucumbers that eventually get pickled.

I don't give a poo poo about dracula but Santas power is too great. What if he watches youtube and becomes radicalized? If he can put gifts into every house he can also put bombs.

the button pushers are the cowards. the consequences of pushing it are spelled out, clear as a bell. nobody knows what happens if you don't push it.

That becomes pretty problematic for Santa, since vampires can't enter homes unless explicitly invited.
So I assume his performance drops and he loses his job.
