The sleigh is still there.

The boars are still there.

The smell is tisll there, and will probably be there long after they've gone.

The skeleton is still dressed in red, he's still there.

Have you been a good boy / girl / being this year?

[ooc: I am also running around, so will be equally slow, BUT!!!]

"YOU AGAIN." Oh smack- Lock Shock and Barrel, fresh from the freezing lake after playing with Old Lace.

"Didn't you come here last year, Skeleton Sandy Claws?" Coulda sworn ya did.

[no_justice]

I did,, he confirms. I just came from last year.

[give_us_candy]

"Why didn't you stay?" It's a legitimate question.

[no_justice]

Because the Hogfather only comes on Hogswatch.

It's a valid answer.

"So you're a Sandy-Skeleton-Hogs-Claws-Watch-Father?" Lock peers up at the HogFather with beady little black and yellow eyes.

"The deal is we get toys, right?"

[no_justice]

If you've been good boys and gi...

No, wait. Death peers down at them Haven't I done you already tonight?

[give_us_candy]

"No." And like they'd say yes if he did. "We saw you last year- and you didn't give us anything." Or he did and they forgot.

Either way- GIVE IT UP BONES.

Those blue eyes blink out briefly and he leans forward.

Were you not good boys and girl?

[give_us_candy]

Shock is usually the only one who can answer this with a straight face.

"Yep." Behind her, hiding behind masks and hands, are two giggling freak children.

"Sure." *SNERK* "AHAHAHA." "SHUT UP YOU TWO DON'T YOU WANT PRESENTS."

[no_justice]

So why didn't I give you presents?

[give_us_candy]

"Because-" Okay, this really shouldn't be taking Shock this long to think up a good lie.

[no_justice]

I remember giving you presents already, Death says.
