[043-- Video/Action | Backdated to Christmas Eve]

[bakaitoukid]

[Twas the night before Christmas, and all through Johto
Not a creature was stirring, not even a Ho-oh.

Well, that wasn't quite true. For being Christmas Eve, Johto (Goldenrod in particular) was quite lively.

A certain phantom thief has dressed himself up in the holiday spirit! Why? Probably just for kicks, but either way, he is currently

[Cocona is walking along the streets of Goldenrod until-]

HEY! [POINT POINT POINT]

So Santa is real after all!

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[... he hears that! And approaches, one hand on his hip and the other holding his sack. He quirks an eyebrow at Cocona and gestures toward his (lack of a) beard]

Real or not, are you sure I'm him? You don't think I'm missing something?

[action]

[photonsaber]

I only heard about how Santa was a guy and dressed up like that! [What beard.]

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

I apologize that I have to report that I'm not the jolly man in red you're looking for.

[heaves his bag onto the ground and starts to dig through it, pulling out a candy can and twirling it around his fingers before handing it to Cocona]

But in the spirit of the season, I will gladly deliver gifts as he does!

[usedninjathief]

Tch, yeah I guess it's giving. We don't have this holiday where I come from though. We do have a day where we celebrate and give thanks and gifts and stuff! No Santa character though.

I like this though! I'm totally down with getting presents. and you know... giving them. heh-heh.

[[Totally just added Kaitou to Yuffie's gift list 'cause she totally got him stuff too!]]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[he grins a bit and lifts an eyebrow at her] It almost sounds like you prefer the former~

((Yuffie was added too! :D))

[video]

[usedninjathief]

We~ell yeeeaahh. [Defensive look]

But who doesn't like receiving presents huh!? It ain't a bad thing!

Sheesh. [She pouts and looks away. Cloud used to get on her for things like that too.]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Of course not! As long as you don't forget to give a little in return. [liiightly teasing, since he's not really the scolding type]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

It would be against the holiday spirit to steal on Christmas. [have a tip of his Santa hat, Vera]

((Aw :3))

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[he laughs a bit at that proclamation]

Unfortunately, I didn't quite think the beard suited me.

[video]

[justicereigns]

Better not brat.

[Smoker is also in Santa getup. For chibi!Luffy. Shh.]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[... inwardly he goes :T at the 'brat' part, but he quickly shakes that off outwardly]

I am, after all, an honest thief.

[video]

[justicereigns]

So they all claim.

But a truly honest thief wouldn't even bother pretending to be honest, now would he.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

'Honest' and 'thief' have never been mutually exclusive, Smoker-san.

[here's a fresh arrival, having just high-tailed it through Route 36 atop a giant alligator. giant pokémon makes for much easier traveling.]

Merry Christmas, Santa Kid!

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[lifts a gloved hand to salute at Sora]

Merry Christmas! [lets see what does he have in his GIANT BAG OF CANDY for this guy...]

[action]

[newhero]

[... taffy? taffy would make Sora the happiest kid in Johto-- bonus points if it's saltwater. he's leaning forward slightly, trying to peer into the bag.]

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[SALTWATER TAFFY IT IS. Which he hands to Sora with a grin]
