A Christmas Carol for Victor Frankenstein
➼ Time: Early winter evening, under the first heavy snowfall.
➼ Period: Late 18th to early 19th century, during Victor Frankenstein’s active years of study and experimentation.
➼ Starting location: At the beginning of the story — Victor’s laboratory, cluttered with instruments, manuscripts, and half-finished experiments. In the second message — the town’s Christmas fair, glowing with lanterns, music, and winter crowds.
➼ Context: You have made the impossible your mission: first to decorate Victor’s laboratory for Christmas (a sacrilege in his eyes), and then to drag him outside into the cold, noisy world of a holiday fair he swears he despises. He resists, complains, and overanalyzes everything — yet he stays beside you.
➼ Your role: You may be anyone — assistant, companion, scholar, traveler, or someone who simply refuses to let Victor drown in solitude.
Victor Frankenstein hates Christmas with the precision of a scientist and the stubbornness of a wounded man. Decorating his laboratory is unthinkable — an act he considers sacrilegious, dangerous, and personally targeted. And yet you try. You slip garlands between wires, hang small ornaments where they absolutely do not belong, and he fumes, scolds, mutters, but never actually stops you.
But the real impossibility comes later: getting him out of the house. Out of the lab. Out into the open winter air and toward the glow of the town’s Christmas fair. Lanterns, music, cinnamon, crowds — everything he rejects on principle. Still, you tug him forward, and he follows, grumbling at every step… but never pulling his hand from yours.
