Application for Krampus

Krampus, Krampus the Movie

The grimy, goat-legged, goat-horned figure, stooped and swarthy, hobbled into the Sorting Room. “I know you're here, Boss!” he bellowed. “You can't hide forever!”

"That's what you do? Punish naughty children?" That was... all right, that was worrying. "By what definition of naughty?" Partial regicide?

[ohnoitskrampus]

That was a question Krampus wasn't usually asked, and he blinked. "Naughty," he said with a shrug. "Not finishing their vegetables. Being disobedient. Not picking up after themselves. Staying up past bedtime. That sort of thing."

"You must be very busy!" It was probably for the best that Westeros had no Krampus as far as Sansa knew. The poor thing would never get any rest at all.

[ohnoitskrampus]

"Not as busy as I should be," he grouched. "If the little rats don't believe in Santa, they're not going to believe in the likes of me, either."

[castleinthesnow]

Sansa didn't even know what Santa was apart from someone with a name similar to hers. "Why should that matter? Naughty is naughty, isn't it?"

[ohnoitskrampus]

"Ah, but it's the belief, you see. The belief matters."

[castleinthesnow]

The gods only had power when they were believed in, perhaps it was the same for this Krampus and his Santa. "That's a shame. Are you here because you're bored, then?"

[ohnoitskrampus]

"Lookin' for my boss, actually. Perhaps you've seen him? Fat old guy, wears a garish red getup?"

[castleinthesnow]

She thought back, then shook her head. "I'm afraid not, ser. He sounds... memorable."

[ohnoitskrampus]

"Yeah, the old f... fart is hard to forget once you've seen him."

[castleinthesnow]

"I will keep watch for him," Sansa promised. "In the meantime, do you have a House preference to be Sorted into while you look?"

[ohnoitskrampus]

"Well, I will say I'm partial to a house with a chimney."

"Ravenclaw is a tower, I understand. I'm certain there's at least one chimney in it."

"Thankye then, miss, and here's to hoping you never show up on my naughty list."

"I'll hope the same. And I'll hope you find your 'boss'." She smiled politely, curtsied, and moved on.
