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!

[ He catches the candy rather casually. ]

Oh-- aggressive aren't we?

[ He chuckled. ][ Rukia you are so being messed with. ]

[dammit_flynn]

That's not the worst thing I've been told, so you're gonna have to try a lot harder than that Santa

[ Yuri replied with a grin on his face and blushing? Dude why the hell are you blushing. ]

You sure about that? What you look like and what you're saying are contradicting, kid.

[damn_juicebox]

Ah yes.

[She coughs politely against her fist as she unfolds her slip of paper to refresh her memory. She doesn't usually want all that much, but as long as the Santa Claus job is in play, there's no harm in requesting a few things.]

A new set of markers, preferably the kind with over twenty different colors. I would also like a sketchpad and a sheet of moustache stencils.

[Gee, what could she possibly want that for.]

Might I request some books as well? I've made a list of the titles and authors.

[It's a boggling assortment. There are cookie recipe books, an illustrated bestiary of the Mysidian continent, "Leather and Silk," "An Intermediate Guide to Summoning," "Scarlet Intoxication,"...the list goes on. Not all of the titles are tame.]

[damn_juicebox]

I prefer to think of it as unerringly efficient. If you have nothing to request, you get a candy cane. Move aside for the next person.

[She gestures with her hand, releasing an aggravated sigh.]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ Just sighing as he rolls his eyes, because you're not even worth a response. B|

AND DIDN'T YOU HEAR HIM? HE'S NOT BLUSHING. can't a guy feel awkward about the realization that he would scare small children??? jeez ]

Hmph... if you know so much about it, why don't you play the role of Santa?

[needsteaplz]

[Ira what did she say about setting people on fire?!]

...

[She scribbles a number on a piece of paper and gives it to him.]

If there's no number, a medium might work.

[acceptedoblivion]

[Look he's done really really well since the last time, honest! Never mind the last time he did it was the ULTIMA WEAPON.]

Got it.

[Sheesh mom, it's not like he's a pervert who'd know already. >_< He leaves with the piece of paper, coming back fifteen minutes later from the costume store after having to explain three times with the cashier that no, it wasn't for his girlfriend or himself. Holding out the bag to her, still not looking at her to at least be somewhat modest. ...He may also be in an elf costume he is far from thrilled to wear. Whoever figured he'd want to show off all the scars on his arms, anyway?]

Here. I can cover for you 'til you get back, Mom.

[needsteaplz]

[There are still somethings she's rather embarrassed about, okay? Gosh, son, do you have to judge her. Seeing him in an elf costume does get a smile and a laugh from her.]

Thanks, Ira. You're a life saver. I'll be quick!

[She runs off to go get re-dressed. A few minutes later, she's in a much better suited costume.]

Sorry for the wait! They didn't start a riot or anything right?

[water_meebo]

[ Mikleo has no idea what it is but he hears it's a camera and it can take pictures. He can't do it on his own, so that makes sense. ]

...I suppose not. It'd be difficult to cater to them and take pictures

[ She does have a point. ]

I'll be relying on you, Selphie.

[water_meebo]

Is it really that traditional? I heard only children are supposed to do that.

[ DON'T YOU DARE CALL HIM A KID EITHER JADE. ]

...

[ how can that even be the meaning of Christmas Jade! ]

[dammit_flynn]

Your mind never changes does it?

[ As if he's going to move. ]

I do have something to request but wouldn't it be more traditional to do the right way?

[damn_juicebox]

Since when did you care about traditions? In fact, I recall you telling me just how adamantly you were against them.

[She folds her arms, squinting suspiciously at Yuri. Why the hell would he want to sit on her lap this badly? He's just teasing.]

Just tell me what you want.

[dammit_flynn]

[ Roll your eyes all you want Vanitas. Yuri won't be backing off :|

YES WELL YOU ARE BAD AT HIDING YOUR EXTREMELY RED FACE SO GET OVER IT. NO ONE'S STOPPING HIM FROM FEELING THAT WAY! ]

I'd gladly do it but it's your shift right now isn't it? C'mon Santa. You gotta read the script right.

[dammit_flynn]

[ Rukia was so funny sometimes. He doesn't get why she sometimes gets embarrassed over these kinds of small things but at the same time Yuri isn't the type to really let himself be bothered by simple platonic gestures. People can think ill of him but well he's Yuri. ]

The other two seem like your typical wants but mustache stencils? When are you giving up on those Shorty?

[ Seriously.... Rukia seriously. ]

Sure.

[ Damn girllll. ]

[damn_juicebox]

Who said they were for you?

[She folds her arms with a grin.]

I employ my artistic talents on more than just one person. Are you jealous~?

[dammit_flynn]

[ Yuri just busts out laughing a little for her statement. ]

Caught red handed huh?

[ He shrugged. ]

I was pulling your leg.

[ He stated as a matter of fact before handing her his list. ]

A scarf for Repede, a large stuffed rabbit for you, a stuffed elephant for Sunshine, and something obnoxious and creative for Flynn.

[damn_juicebox]

[Rukia takes the list, glancing over it as she listens to him. ...There's something wrong with this. She glances up at him, one eyebrow cocked in confusion.]

But what do you want?

[He hasn't asked for anything that he might appreciate. Not even a piece of candy. She sets the lap down on her knee as she peers up at him.]

[umslay]

Lydia, hero of the working class.

[He holds a hand up, indicating he wants a cookie.]

[umslay]

[Ales gives Lucrecia a disturbed look. Didn't the guy in charge think about Tarutaru, Moogles, and Teensies when giving her that outfit?

His eyes are steady on her hem as he backs away slowly.]

[mindofathief]

[He shuffles his feet awkwardly.]

...Do you want me to get a blanket? It can work as a skirt.

[boomchucka]

[Mikleo, do you see this excited grin?

Do you know how much Selphie loves anything related to Winter? Well, Christmas is in Winter and it's her favourite holiday next to Hallowe'en. She gives him a salute which is followed up with a carefully practiced twirl.]

Leave it to me, Santa!

[boomchucka]

[Selphie could have pouted at the refusal of the rocket launcher but she was prepared for the refusal!]

The rocket launcher would be put to the best use in the upcoming fights or taking out those Crystal Monsters. Plus, it makes the most awesome explosions when it lands a critical hit. Just think of the practical uses before saying no.

[As for the tea set...]

Okay, maybe not the most expensive one but a nice one in a reasonable price range would work too. There's these really cute chocobo themed ones that could be put to good use at the house, Santa.

[And for the elephant, Selphie points to the picture she's holding out. The big gray flappy eats, the long trunk, the elegant tusks and the big body.]

This is an elephant! I've only seen them in picture books but they look really awesome. I don't need a real elephant in case you're wondering.

[So Yuri, can you tell that Selphie is really enjoying this yet?]

[umslay]

You too?

[Ales is dressed like the most adorable elf, his usual top hat replaced by a green pointed cap with a bell at the end.]

I used to deal with idiots in my old job, but not fifty a day.

[They are called children, Ales.]

[sullenstallion]

They're all a pain in the ass. We look ridiculous.

[Dylas has bright red paint on his nose. And lights and ornaments hanging from one antler or the other.

But he shifts from one hoof to the other.]

They sure want their picture taken with you a lot, huh.

[Dylas might have antlers, but whoops, he still looks scary. To say children are running to him would be a flat-out lie. His feeling might be a bit hurt.]

[umslay]

[What child wouldn't want a hug from a giant with horns?]

I'm not sure what the point of sitting out here is. Parties and decorations, I get it, but why these lists? [He holds his hands out at the Santa talking to a snot-nosed child on his lap.]

Yes. They do. I'm adorable, that's why. [Said without a hint of pride.]
