Heh. In for zeogold.

Day of the Tentacle 2 / D. Volkov / USAUSAUSA!

Thanks.
Something tells me it might just end up being the good ol' U.S. of A. after all. Just look at the hints. The country's flag is not blue and white only, well our is red as well (which another clue says). No yellow star appears, sure, but plenty of white ones do. Could be subtly telling us this is where Santa is.

Using that logic it could be Cuba or Australia as well (Red/White/Blue with non-yellow star(s)).

From prior games his hints tend to be eliminative, and carefully controlling the rate at which the field narrows, rather than cues to a singular answer. But you can always ride a hunch ;)

Aya Brea reporting for duty, dressed for the occasion and armed with MaGog's randomiser.

Christmas is a special season for Aya, for it brings back memories --- memories of Eve. Eve, who had erupted upon an unsuspecting New York City in the winter of 1997, unleashing her mitochondria and raiding sperm banks in her quest to give birth to the Ultimate Santa.

But, as Breja so colourfully put it, enough of the past; there is a task at hand, to put an end to a new nightmare, for neverending nightmares will not do. Needless to say, Eve is once more at the root of it, having duped a pigeon to do her bid, to kidnap Santa for her to harvest his genes, splice them into plasmids and integrate them into bacilli, to form an unstoppable army of big-bellied, bearded, bonneted bacteria. Unless, of course, Aya stops her first.

Yet what of the sack? For, the fate of humanity aside, one must remember that a video game is at stake. Santa's sack --- Eve had dismissively discarded it to a dark corner of her lair, where no sun shines and no bat flaps and no more clues, without even dignifying its content with a cursory glance. And what a pity; for the sack was full of presents aplenty, one for each goglodyte, nicelings and naughtilings alike.

A jar of red chrain for _Slaugh_; an alarm clock for Elmofongo; an apple that has seen better days for BranjoHello; a box of antibiotics for helpo1; a "Touch Me" vinyl in mint condition for XYCat; the 3D game that's not in the sack for seikus... And the list goes on.

But Aya is growing listless. She can no longer just sit around, twiddling her thumbs, and blindly guessing the names of planetariumless villains and wood-and-waterless countries. No, she must do something about it. She must uncover clues, follow them, and find Eve,

Come to think of it, _Slaugh_ seems to know quite a bit about the matter. And he's taking his pretty time revealing new clues, not to say actively dragging his feet. Is he in fact trying to delay us? Is he in fact colluding with Eve, buying her time enough to clone Santa's genes? Aya will soon find out; she will track _Slaugh_ down and make him spill the beans.

Using her faithful purveyor of useful information and cat pictures, Aya found out that:
1) The Slaugh family name was most common in the 1920's in Utah and Pennsylvania
2) Utah is famous for its Mormons and Pennsylvania is famous for its Amish
3) Mennonites are often confused with Amish and Mormons
4) Aya is not easily confused (P NSFW DOWYW)
5) The obvious logical conclusion of these four propositions is that _Slaugh_ lives in Canada

But where in Canada? For Canada is a large place, I think, possibly even larger than Dryfield, Nevada, though probably not as hot. Further investigation revealed that:
1) _Slaugh_ often refers to a place called GOG Manor
2) This clearly means he lives in Manor, Saskatchewan, Canada, which is where Aya is now headed.

The first thing Aya saw when she reached Manor, Saskatchewan was this sign.
