[video] a little bit of early holiday dorkiness

[implausibility]

[At first, it's just a whisper, and the camera's pointing at the ceiling, where a lonely fan cuts across the artificial lighting in an ever-steady, ever-constant motion.]

Guys, guys, check this out.

[There's rustling, and then Adachi's hand reaches into view, pulling the camera back down to where it reveals...no. That white, fluffy beard tied

[Paaaaause.]

Detective.

[implausibility]

[In a clearly thrown 'deep' voice.]

Hmmm, what have we here? Good ol' Edgeworthsey, let's check the list. Hmm, hmm, well, that's not very nice, landing yourself in jail and all!

[mentis_reae]

[An immediate scowl. When he speaks again, his voice is harsh.]

Adachi, stop that idiocy at once.

[implausibility]

[Adachi's brow furrows, and he starts fidgeting with a strand of milky white beard.]

It was just a joke, jeez. You didn't have to take it so seriously.

[She'll just stare at him with this face for the moment.]

[implausibility]

Merry Christmas? Alms for the poor?

[He is quickly exhausting his supply of well-wishes.]

[proxysearch]

You really have nothing better to do?

[implausibility]

What could possibly be better than this? Ho, ho, ho!

Now, don'tcha wanna tell Santa what you want for Christmas?

[ Stifling a laugh. ]

That's an interesting outfit. [ Also she's been good. Ignore the fact that she got arrested once. IT WASN'T HER FAULT. ]

[implausibility]

'Interesting'? Still? Figure everyone's seen this getup at least have a dozen times before.

[of_frell]

Mm, no, I think I'd remember if someone was walking around wearing an outfit like that in Frell, sorry. So that's not your usual clothing?

[implausibility]

This? Jeez, whoa, there's no way you'd catch me sporting this much facial hair, and I'm way too young to be graying so fast. Nah, this is a costume!

[He's... laughing, actually. That's definitely not what he was expecting to see.]

That's not what Santa looks like!

[implausibility]

[He huffs, and a bit of that fake beard blows in the air.]

It totally is!

[escapedpandora]

No way-- he's got a lot more beard and red clothes than that on the shop posters.

[implausibility]

Well, Santa's got to..send his outfit to the cleaners some time, you know. Big day coming up and all!

[implausibility]

Oh.

[Wait, Santa. He clears his throat, coughing into his mouth, and tries again, this time with a deeper voice.]

Oh, well, uh...young lad, that's a surprisingly honest answer!

[implausibility]

That depends on to what means you're acting like one, right?
