SNEG: Glitcheshka's Attack

On the eve of the new year 2026, Farost’s cousin Fareshka dropped by as usual. But the influence of Farost’s unstable teletummy — going through yet another wave of glitch attacks at the time — suddenly spread to his cousin too…

You all know my country cousin Fareshka… I was waiting for his visit over the Christmas holidays, but he… Poor guy… He gorged on glitches and decided he’s now the thief of Christmas and New Year — a Grinch who calls himself Glitcheshka!

Poo-Poo was really looking forward to these holidays. He spent his last IQ points preparing a pile of gifts and bits for you, but… Glitcheshka got the power to exist in two worlds at once: the digital and the real one, hopping between my teletummy, the Internet, Poo-Poo’s circuits and the kitchen table…

It all happened tonight. In a single instant. Glitcheshka raided Poo-Poo’s pupa stash and stole a heap of the fuel coins that power my vacuum! On top of that, he stole all your gifts! Now Poo-Poo is unwell and can’t finish getting ready for the holiday, and Glitcheshka himself has hidden deep inside my teletummy… Guys, I don’t have a concrete plan, but our holiday… it’s in danger.

Given the emergency, Farost decided to lure Glitcheshka out of his teletummy with his subscribers’ pupas. And so the tree named SNEG (Glitcheshka’s Special New-year Tree) was born. The plan went like this:

1. Farost sets up an empty tree and streams, pretending everything is fine.
2. Viewers un-pupa their pupas from personal stashes, hanging them on the tree.
3. This warms up the teletummy and provokes Glitcheshka to crawl out, drawn to the SNEG. At that moment Poo-Poo tries to suck Glitcheshka in, trapping him — and then they can cure Farost’s cousin and take back all the stolen pupas.
4. Catching the rascal on the first try clearly won’t work. Glitcheshka is a slippery glitch. But he’s ragged enough, so Farost was sure that during the Poo-Poo-vs-Glitcheshka scuffles, Poo-Poo would manage to suck out part of the stolen pupas. These pupas would, at random moments, be sent to random active chatters.
5. Randomly received pupas could be used for your own purposes or hung on the SNEG.
6. Once they defeat Glitcheshka and get everything back, a mega giveaway of pupas and gifts happens! The more pupas on the SNEG, the higher everyone’s chance to win, multiplying their pupa stash or winning other prizes.

By the end of a bright pre-New-Year week of anime, a festive collab with Kumi, and karaoke, Farost did manage to drag the greedy Glitcheshka out of his teletummy — literally by popping.

Thankfully, the New Year was celebrated after all, because Farost’s head — left without a body — was picked up by Furrinya. And the residents celebrated the New Year long and happily! They ran plenty of giveaways, tasted water, and listened to the fireworks!

All the pupas from the SNEG and from Glitcheshka’s belly were generously handed out to the viewers, but Goga stuffed himself the most.

There was no shortage of tragedy either: while Dyushes enjoyed his VIP for a minute, a whole battle raged over the sweet nectar named Sakura Yobick. Everyone wanted a taste, but Bredik wanted to grab it for himself the most. And Bredik fought, and Bredik comeback’d, and his little heart was pounding wildly… But in the end Sakura Yobick went to sir FeshnGaga. And he didn’t even take it… Left it at the post office… And Sakura Yobick vanished into the void… Forever…

But the main thing is that it all ended well! Despite all the hardships, Farost and his friends had a wonderful holiday, and on the back of such a problem they even managed to befriend the glitch Furrinya. And they lived happily, and ate sweets through the tummy…

Except… where’s Fareshka?..
