[It's just about sunset and someone's nowhere close to home, having lost track of time and splashing around in the slush covered streets, procrastinating on his studies. He's had a great day pretending to be a zombie and is out trying to familiarize the puppy with a walking route, since he's settling into the responsibilities of having a pet.]So

He doesn't watch us sleep!

[A pause. Maybe it wouldn't matter if she could or not, but-]

...It'd be nice if we could talk to people from home, though.

There's a song that says he does. And apparently he knows how we've been through the year.

That'd be nice, I think. I'm pretty sure everyone here is at least missing someone.

[quackery]

I've never heard a song like that!

What about you?

[escapedpandora]

Really? I keep hearing songs about him in stores! 'He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake' and all that. That just sounds like of creepy to me. If it's true, I'm not going to be sleeping on Christmas Eve.

Am I missing someone? I figured everyone was.

But if you don't sleep, you'll be really tired on Christmas! That's no fun.

I mean- tell me about them!

But maybe I can caught the guy stalking everyone. Or save him from Light... I don't think she'd take to someone sneaking into the house after dark. At all.

The people I miss...? [Now he looks a bit closed off.] People from my world. How about you?

That song must be wrong, I'm sure he's nice!

Well, of course... Mytho, and Fakir, and Rue, and- Edel. And Mr. Cat and Pike and Lilie!

video; c-catch, not caught. ^^;;

[escapedpandora]

Well, he must be nice enough to give presents, right? But it's still kind of creepy. And who decides who's good and who's not? If you did some bad things for good reasons, does that count?

...You don't have most of your friends with you here?

video; no problem! ♥

[quackery]

I think... Maybe it was fine if it was for a good reason. But it depends on what the thing you did was!

None of them.

Just a thought-- I mean, it's kinda hard for one person to decide whether someone's good or bad, right? What if they're something in the middle? Maybe they did something really bad but felt bad for it? Just examples.

[That makes him pause. He'd adjusted so well to this place because there had been others here before him.] Do you have someone making sure you're okay, then?

I think if Santa wasn't sure, he would give them something anyway.

Oh, yeah! I have a roommate.

[escapedpandora]

Then there's be a way to trick him!

...I don't know, it just sounds... silly, I guess the word would be? Like a really silly story.

Oh, that's good at least.

video;

[quackery]

No, 'cause he knows if you're tricking him! It isn't silly.

I guess so.

[escapedpandora]

No one can know everything, though. If they did, I don't think that knowledge would be spent to give toys to. It'd be better to use it for... I don't know, catching criminals?

video;

[quackery]

The police can catch criminals! It's important for people to have something to look forward to.

[escapedpandora]

I guess so. It just seems like it should be the other way around, you know? Might be more efficient.
