The Santa Claus Meme

[melodiesmods]

Your character is Santa Claus!! Maybe they've taken on the job in a mall. Maybe they've found a Santa Claus outfit and forgot to read the hidden clause before putting it on. Whatever the reason, there is no escaping your duty as the official Santa Claus. Besides the kids assaulting you 24/7, you also have to deal with Heroes of Light and rumor has it they're worse than the kids.

1. Post a starter: you are Santa Claus! Try to be kind to the Heroes of Light coming to you with their lists.
2. Comment in other characters's threads: they're Santa Claus and you're the one who gets to pester them!
3. Profit!

[ This whole thing still looks and sounds entirely wrong. I mean the tone... the air. He's not buying it. ]

...

[ Serious contemplation here. ]

As long as it doesn't involve me having to sit anywhere strange...

[ He'll give you a list... but he's not sitting on the lap. Still looks wrong. ]

[water_meebo]

M-Morn-- why are you dressed like that?

[ NO SERIOUSLY WHY? ]

[dammit_flynn]

Neither do I so I can't help ya there.

[ He shrugs while holding his slip of paper. He finds the whole thing rather humorous. ]

Now what's the fun in that?

[dammit_flynn]

[ Well that escalated really quickly. Yuri just raised a brow at her underneath his fake ass white beard. ]

What do you want kiddo?

[ And he's seriously going to start this yeah he is. ]

[damn_juicebox]

You won't fit on my lap, you're too heavy. Hand it over, or you're only getting coal in your stocking.

[Her hand stays extended, the unamused expression still settled upon her face.]

[boomchucka]

[Selphie beams at Mikleo. She knows how Christmas works and she can give him info.

Whether it's true or not, is up to him.]

Because every good Santa needs an adorable elf.

[dammit_flynn]

[ The elf isn't having her push the list onto him. Instead, it ushers her to move forward and well do as she pleases?

Yuri just grinned underneath the Santa facade, because this whole this is rather entertaining. ]

C'mon I don't bite.

[ He's pretty sure she's got a sincere list too but he's going to have to get it from her specifically. ]

[dammit_flynn]

[ Yet, another one that doesn't seem to be bothered by the whole idea. Fine, if she wants to be lifted up, he casually does so. You are now sitting on his lap, Rukia. How does that feel for starters? ]

I'm afraid Santa can't be completely traditional. You'll have to bear with it.

[worstintheworld]

...Very well. But I ask that we keep this arrangement formal and respectful.

[In other words, no laps will be involved in this transaction. She steps past the velvet ropes to stand before Yuri-in-a-beard, holding out her list to him. Take it.]

[dammit_flynn]

You're a strong woman. I'm pretty sure you can handle it.

[ He chuckled. No-- Rukia he's not really going to do it but he's going to make sure you believe he wants to. ]

Christmas Spirit Shorty... and well it wouldn't be the first time I'm getting coal in my stocking.

[ AKA it would be typical if he did know what this sorry holiday is like. ]

[boomchucka]

[Yes, incredibly sad. So sad that he'll never know what to do with himself again.]

So why should I sit on Santa's knee when he's giving me a shit eating grin?

[Also, Selphie's eighteen but that's neither here nor there.]

[damn_juicebox]

[Wrong. It feels wrong. Nothing about this situation is in any way correct. How can he be so calm about it?]

...Now what?

[water_meebo]

[ Well he read a ton of stuff on it so he's pretty sure he's got it but why is she an elf ???? ]

I didn't think they'd allow something like this to happen but alright.

[damn_juicebox]

If that's what you desire, so be it.

[She fishes a candy cane out of the bowl and flicks it at him.]

Merry Christmas. Next!

[boomchucka]

[Of course it escalated quickly. Were you expecting anything less from your plucky housemate, Yuri?]

Well, Santa...

[She pulls out a small, but deadly list.]

I want a rocket launcher, the newest tea set from the most elusive artisan on Crystallis for Cuppa Kupo and --

[She produces a picture of an elephant.]

I would like to know where the elephant that I asked for as a kid is. You owe me an elephant, Santa. So where's my elephant?

[jadethenecromancer]

[...........Ah.

He didn't expect her to actually go for it.

Jade's maintaining a careful poker face while Rukia's settling into his lap. This would be easy to laugh off if it weren't for his muddled feelings about... well, her. As it is, her bright red face has him half-embarrassed, half-pleased.

Not that he'll ever admit to liking this a bit more than he should.]

Oh, how adorable~ And have you been a good girl this year?

[Just because they're both flustered doesn't mean he's missing the chance to be terrible.]

[boomchucka]

[Selphie points to the camera on the tripod.]

Well, unless you know how to use a camera, I don't think you'll be able to take pictures of the adorable little kids who will come to sit on your knee and ask you for a million Chocobo's for Christmas.

[damn_juicebox]

[It's not fair. He's better at hiding this than she is, and he has a beard too.]

I've fulfilled my duties.

[She slants a little glare at him. It's not adorable! ...Well Chappy is adorable, yes, but he's mocking her.]

And I've come to the aid of a certain someone who relentlessly insists on foolish behaviors because he believes he can handle too many issues on his own.

[jadethenecromancer]

Sitting on Santa's knee is the point of this whole business, you know. Why even make a list otherwise?

[Truly this is the true meaning of Christmas.]

[needsteaplz]

[How she got talked into doing this, we'll never know. The outfit's more fanservice-y than she'd like it. ]


....

[jadethenecromancer]

Language, young lady. I see someone's landed herself on the naughty list this year!

[Compared to Jade's 70-something Earth years? Eighteen is nowhere near old enough to escape scolding.

He snaps his fingers. There's a strained 'kupo' above them, and a lump of coal is carefully placed on top of Selphie's head.

It was supposed to be dropped on her head from higher above, but thankfully Rosepuff is less inclined to cause unnecessary pain than Jade is.]

[boomchucka]

I'm a mercenary? This is pretty tame compared to some of the things I've heard back home at Garden.

[And then there's a lump of coal on Selphie's head. She takes the lump and holds it tightly.

You're taking this seriously, aren't you Jade?]

Thank you, Santa. I'm looking forward to next years lump so I can figure out how to make a diamond.

[And here's where Selphie smiles sweetly.]

[jadethenecromancer]

[The beard is quite useful. Especially now, when it's concealing the fondness sneaking into his smile.]

That someone sounds like quite the handful, indeed. Although I suppose he's a lucky one as well.

[...Wait, no! Backtrack! They're not going to have one of those moments in this ridiculous situation. He has to lay it on thick now...]

In any case, I think you've more than earned your cute little present! Ho ho ho. And what do we say to Santa now?

[mindofathief]

[Between Santa-the-Hero-of-Light and the blatant fanservice, Duster is getting an entirely wrong idea of Christmas.]

You're supposed to talk to kids wearing that? [Gently guestures at the outfit. He's trying his best not to look at anywhere else other than Saori's face.]

[Someone's been roped into being Santa. At least he's been persuaded to leave the gun at home. Ophelia's nearby in an elf-costume, beaming.]
