As the Lost gather together and begin conversation, something odd begins happening. In the background, directly behind Molly, the other three Lost notice a man in a fresh-pressed suit and wearing a gold name tag that declares him an important employee of the local bank. strides purposefully across the food court toward an ATM machine set up to continually provide shoppers with more cash. There he produces a ring of keys and goes through them for a moment before deciding on one.
He uses the key to open the ATM machine and pulls out several large stacks of $20 bills, each approximately four inches thick. Then, without closing the machine he suddenly begins flinging the stacks through the air, into the food court and out over a nearby balcony looking over the lower level of the mall. Money suddenly fills the air in large flutters of dull green. The man begins shouting insanely at the top of his lungs, a manic grin on his face and his bloodshot eyes wide. "Merry Christmas to all! And goodwill to men! You see spirits! You see! I have changed! I have changed! God bless us! Everyone!"
It takes only moments for the crowded food court to erupt in screams and squeals of delight. Nearly as one the entire crowd surges forward, greed in their eyes, scrambling for the money. From below shouts of surprise and joy can be heard as money undoubtedly begins raining down on the frantic shoppers below. Off to one side Erik, Green, and Shin Wei notice a couple mall security guards heading toward the commotion, one of them has already pulled out his radio and is quietly but frantically speaking in to it.
A few people eating their meals look totally confused and shocked, looking around and trying to figure out what in the name of St. Nick just happened.
Those that succeeded on perception notice what's about to happen right before the man throws the money into the air and may react as they will, but almost certainly won't be able to stop him. They also notice the incoming security guards. Molly, like a few others in the food court, doesn't catch on until the chaos has erupted and might have to take a moment to figure out what has happened.
