...So. This Christmas thing -

If we're to believe the stories we're being fed here - and, well, at least the nuclear war part seems like it's a fact... - then this means the North Pole was affected too, right?

Does that mean -

- it can't. Santa Claus isn't dead, is he? It's one thing if you believe he's not real, but if you claim that he died,

What are you talking about? Who is that... err.. Santa Clause? And why would you be worried if he is dead or not?

[Sorry. Another one that doesn't even know Christmas, at all]

voice

[heavendivided]

[Figures!]

...Santa Claus. You know, the guy that actually delivers the presents to kids on Christmas...? There's no Christmas without Santa, and no Santa without Christmas.

voice

[tank_top_lover]

Should I know him?

I've never gotten any presents while I was young... does that mean he is one of these rich people that only give presents to other rich people?

[He so totally doesn't like rich people.]

voice

[heavendivided]

Um - no. It's...he actually has a workshop up at the North Pole - that's where he lives, too. He makes and delivers all the presents on his own...with a little help from his elves.

voice

[tank_top_lover]

North Pole? Where is that?

[A snort.]

And how is he able to deliver presents to everyone? Or does he have an Entelexeia like Ba'ul?

voice

[heavendivided]

Geographically? The nothernmost point of the earth. It's pretty cold up there. And uh - never heard of Entele--something, but he delivers presents in a flying sleigh, pulled by his reindeer.

voice

[tank_top_lover]

Sounds like this iceland we had to go through, not very nice... why would someone want to live there?

Flying sleigh? Rein...deer? Uh... Maybe I shouldn't be surprised... we do fly in a ship with Ba'uls help. What's a rein..deer?

voice

[heavendivided]

...I'm not sure, actually. Maybe because it's quiet there...? And not many people would go there, I believe. Pretty sure he doesn't mind the cold.

An animal. Sorta like...a normal deer.

voice

[tank_top_lover]

Quiet. Well, I don't think so. We had lots and lots of snowstorms while going through there and a monster that tried to attack us and preferable eat us as well.

I see. What's a deer?

[Too bad they don't have 'normal'-animals where he is from. You know, at least not normal for you.]

voice

[heavendivided]

...Doesn't sound very pleasant.

...Okay. What kind of animals DO you know? Horses? You know what a horse is, right?

voice

[tank_top_lover]

It wasn't, especially if someone thinks it's fun to make sorbet in the middle of a snowy field.

[He shudderes at the remembrance how cold he was inside and out.]

Horse? Can you eat that, or what are you doing with it?

[Too bad their 'horses' have other names, even though I used horse once because I couldn't find the name of the real ones. Argh.]

voice

[heavendivided]

Sorbet... [THAT actually sounds delicious - wait.]

Well, you can. That's pretty much frowned upon, though, I think. Mostly they're pack animals. You ride on them. ... Deer are a little like that, only smaller and with antlers.

voice

[tank_top_lover]

Yeah. Not preferable in the cold, but it was good. [And he can cook really good too and make delicious sorbet.]

Ah. I see. So a little like our quiettas, the animals the knights ride on?

[The look something like this only brown.]

So they have something on their head, like horns? And they can even fly?

voice

[heavendivided]

Never heard of quiettas, so I couldn't tell you. But knights used to ride on horses.

Exactly. And only Santa's reindeer can fly, as far as I know.

voice

[tank_top_lover]

Knights always seem to ride on something it seems. So they had horses in your world instead?

Ah! So they are as intelligent as the Entelexeia? Like Ba'ul? He could fly too and communicate with Judy.

voice

[heavendivided]

Yeah, horses -

...You lost me at Entelex, kid.
