Has anyone gotten to meet Santa Claus before?

I wonder about that every year. I always go to his photoshoots back home, but I'm never allowed to see him. I write him letters too, but I couldn't get presents because I didn't deserve them. I've seen other kids with photos, though, and they get what they wish for, so...

But he must be real, right? So many people believe in him. It would be so crazy if he wasn't!

So... Has anyone met him? Can you tell me if he's nice?

I have when I was a child. And yes, he's very nice. He read a Christmas book with me.

I haven't met him more than once, though. He's usually very busy, I think.

[She really means it. She's a teenaged girl who believes.]

[maskedsmile]

[Obviously, Yoshiya is too.]

Really? Maybe that's why he doesn't have time to deal with me. I must be low on his list!

[innocent_royal]

I highly doubt that. I would suggest going to whatever Christmas party that is being held this month you can manage to go to and you may see him.

That's how I met him.

[maskedsmile]

A party...? Wouldn't I need an invite...

I've never been to a Christmas party.

[She had just arrived into this strange new land an hour or so ago. She had used the device because there was just so much going on at the time she didn't even think about it.

But now she had her bearings a bit and with a bit of fiddling around with the device, she finally managed to get it to work. So with a small sigh of relief, she was happy.]

Finally. I managed to turn it on. [She had seen the others feed and she couldn't help but wonder... who was Santa?]

This might sound silly but... I've... never heard of someone with that name before? [Are they an adventurer of some kind.] Is that bad that I don't know?

[maskedsmile]

No one's told you about Santa before, miss?

He's a nice old man who gives people presents at the end of the year. But only if they've been really good!

[alchemistofalanya]

No, but I just arrived here, so I don't really know anything.

[A nice old man who gives people presents... That seems very... She didn't know the word for what she was thinking right now.]

Is there a reason he does that? Or is he just a very nice person?

[maskedsmile]

Oh! Well... Welcome to Genessia, miss. My name is Yoshiya, and if you need anything then I'd be really happy to help.

But uh. For a reason... I'm not sure, actually. I think he's just very kind. I'm envious. Being so kind is such a wonderful thing, don't you think?

I haven't met him personally. I think Cupid mentioned him on the network a while ago.

[maskedsmile]

That's right, Cupid was a dog! I was surprised!

Do you think Santa is a dog too?

[nrgsvr]

I don't think he is.

I'm sure he would be fluffy if he was.

[maskedsmile]

Probably, huh? So he could stay warm in the winter snow!

I wonder what he'll be like... If I might get to meet him, maybe I should have a present for him ready.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

[aww]

I have never met him, but I've heard that he's quite the kind and jolly fellow. He's supposed to be very sweet and caring towards everyone he encounters.

[maskedsmile]

Wow, really? I would love to meet him, but maybe that would ruin the mystery? There's probably some power in never getting to meet him, but still knowing he exists!

[chambermusicandtenpins]

I imagine so! And I imagine he appreciates it -- after all, there are so many people to bring gifts to in all the world, it must be difficult to be able to meet them all.

[maskedsmile]

I'm sure that it must be. Maybe that's why I've never met him.

He would probably like my sisters. When Santa Claus couldn't bring me presents, my sisters pretended to be him and brought some instead. They were like Santa helpers!

[bigbadrose]

Yes.

Well, Father Christmas.

Well... it's a long story.

What makes you think you don't deserve presents?

[maskedsmile]

They're different...?

Oh, and because I'm... [He bites his tongue. "Yoshiya" isn't supposed to be a Curse Kami. He doesn't want to be associated with his real self, so,] I'm a rotten kid. I tell a lot of lies.

[bigbadrose]

Not really.

Yeah? [Wry grin.] I dunno, the brattiest of brats usually don't know they're being rotten.

Maybe try cutting back as much as you can and Santa will reward the improvements and effort?

I've met one so named, though I've my doubts as to his authenticity. He did, to do him credit, grace me with a very warm and handsomely red coat.

[i.e. probably not real like most things, but that's a sad subject.]

But, ah, not to worry! Even very rotten children indeed got presents of not insignificant value. I wouldn't count yourself out just yet. What sort of presents do you like, anyway?

[maskedsmile]

Really? Congratulations on the coat! Do you still have it? Is it warm?

[Ted's strange response does earn a confused look from the Curse Kami. He shakes his head slowly, still processing it.] I've never gotten anything, but... If I could. Hm...

I think I would want a CD of whales singing.

[youfool]

Thank you! See for yourself.

[His eyes veer to the side as his hand plunges into his bag, pulling out a festively red sleeve. Producing the whole thing requires some dexterity, but eventually he has it on with an air of quiet content.]

"Superlatively", for an answer. I've nearly forgotten how arm.

Hah, that shouldn't be too hard. I happen to know of a whaleshark who can, presumably, sing. Would that do? Any preference for lyrics?

[hotheadwarmheart]

Course Santa Claus is real! I've never met him myself, but some friends of mine did. They saved him and his workshop from monsters too.

Though who said you didn't deserve presents?

[maskedsmile]

Oh, Lea! Is that true? Your friends must be heroes!

[Yoshiya is a touch envious. He's always wanted to be the hero-type, but that's hard when your claim to fame is cursing people.]

Well... I've never gotten any. Probably not Santa Claus' fault, though. I didn't have a house to bring them to.

[hotheadwarmheart]

Yeah, they kinda are. But don't tell them I said that; wouldn't want it to go to their heads.

And not getting presents before doesn't mean you don't deserve them, it just means that Santa's been falling down on the job. And if he's not gonna take care of it, I will. You're officially invited over to my place for Christmas, and you're definitely getting presents this year.
