27th Spark || [Video/Action]
[The Pokegear is turned on, and the first thing you see is a full body shot of Minnie, dressed up like a Christmas Elf. She sounds positively cheery, holding the Pokegear up and gesturing in dancing motions.]
Happy Holidays, everyone! Have I got a special treat for you! It just so happens that a good friend of mine arrived in Goldenrod for a little while. He won’t be here long, but he wants to wish you all a very merry Christmas. Can you guess who?
[She then turns the gear around to show Santa, sitting in a decorated area of the Goldenrod Department store. Judging from the lumps around this Santa's midsection, the unfortunate fellow's had some pillows stuffed into the outfit. Even as Minnie continues recording, "Santa" fidgets and attempts to smooth the lumps out so they aren't as obvious. When he opens his mouth, out comes an...obviously faked deep voice that might sound familiar to some people.]
Ho, ho, ho!
[Minnie jumps into the frame, all excited.]
That’s right, good old Santa Claus is here to listen to your wishes! I’ve come to Goldenrod just for today to be his little helper. Come one, come all, and tell him if you’ve been naughty or nice! You know why?
["Santa" actually groans this time. Does he really have to?]
...You...better watch out. You better not cry. You better not pout. I’m telling you why.
["Santa" gets redder and redder as he continues singing, finally sliding down in his chair, in embarrassment.]
Santa Claus is here in towwwn!
[Private Video to his close friends sent out later:]
I already mentioned it to some of you, but forming a group to keep an eye on Team Rocket would be a good idea. Let's not get caught off guard like we did on the magnet train. Oh, if you know anyone who might want to join, just send them my way.
[Private Video to Marona:]
I wanted to talk to you about something. Are you busy?
(ooc: Merlin and Minnie will be answering tags separately. If you want to respond to the Team Rocket message, assume your character can see it if he's mentioned it to them already, or if they've spoken more than just a few times. Or if I've given you the okay. Additionally, Minnie will return to Saffron near the end of the day.)
