[Al's outside, dressed in a modified version of his cloak - it looks padded, and the hood, though it's down, is lined with fur. There are snowflakes in his eyelashes and he's got a warm scarf wrapped around his neck. His cheeks are pink with cold, but he's grinning ( Read more... )

The hot springs would be great in this weather. Sitting back and watching the snowflakes fall...

And that would be Santa Claus. Do you want the short version or the long version of who he is?

bloodseal_soul December 2 2008, 06:51:05 UTC

Mmmn, yeah. And they melt right before they touch the hot water, too... but it's really magical.

Santa Claus...? I'd love the long version, whatever you can tell me.

Even better if you have someone to share the moment with too.

He has a few names--Santa Claus, Kris Kringle, Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas--and there are a few different origin stories as well, the one I remember off the top of my head being he was a Christian saint who generously gave gifts to the poor.

However, modern interpretations of Santa have him as a jolly old man who lives at the North Pole with his wife, Mrs. Claus, and their elf helpers. They spent all year making toys and checking a list of all the children to see who has been good and who has been bad. All the good kids get toys and the bad kids get a lump of coal. He also has magical reindeer that can fly and they're in charge of pulling his sled (his transportation method of choice). On Christmas Eve, he sets out at night and flies around the world, stopping at every house and leaving Christmas gifts under the Christmas tree so when the children wake up Christmas morning, they'll have their presents.

Mmmn. Ed doesn't 'get' the significance of stuff like that so much... who knows, maybe somebody will want to watch it with me.

Wow... that's a beautiful story. Is it true in your world? I mean, reindeer can't fly, right? And all around the world in one night - he must be really fast, or something.

Wait, he comes into your house and leaves gifts? And how does he know who's good and who's bad?

....That guy looks like a really old pedophile. He looks scary, like he's gonna eat me or something.

[Voice;] bloodseal_soul December 2 2008, 06:50:10 UTC

... pedophile?

[Voice;] braided_genius December 2 2008, 06:51:23 UTC

...You don't know what a pedophile is, Al?!

[Voice;] I'M DYING. bloodseal_soul December 2 2008, 06:53:40 UTC

I know what a pedophile is. How do you figure? He doesn't look really scary...

Oh, the hot springs are almost done?! All right! I'm so excited!

Man Al, you've been busy lately, huh?

...wait, you don't know about Santa?

[Voice] bloodseal_soul December 2 2008, 06:56:14 UTC

Almost, give it another week! The snow will make it easier to haul stuff around on a sled, too!

Heh, I'm always busy~

... no? What's Santa?

[Voice] notamonkeygirl December 2 2008, 07:00:07 UTC

Oh yeah, that'll be so cool! If you need any extra help, you know who to call!

Don't work yourself to death, hear me? Or I'll bring you back myself and force you to take a break!

The tale is, Santa Claus is this guy who lives up in the North Pole and makes gifts for the good children and gives it to them on December 25th, and he rides around the world on his sleigh pulled by flying reindeer. It's mostly a kid's tale, but still--Santa's a huge symbol for Christmas!

[Voice] bloodseal_soul December 2 2008, 07:07:09 UTC

Always. Don't give me all the credit though, there are a whole lot of people helping with this. When it's done it'll be so worth it.

Ffff, I know my limits and I haven't pushed them! I'm just so excited, I'm getting all the work out of the way so I can go exploring all the shops. The whole city is filled them, and all kinds of decorations.

Really? Woah... how does he get the gifts to the kids?

You're not allowed to freeze to death out there.

bloodseal_soul December 2 2008, 06:54:20 UTC

Pfffffft, this coming from you?

avenging_raven December 2 2008, 06:56:41 UTC

Shush, do not question me.

bloodseal_soul December 2 2008, 06:58:17 UTC

Speaking of which, I have a scarf. It's dark blue and it doesn't have puffs on the ends.

You will wear it.

[chuckle] Al, that's Santa! Don't you know?! He's the one that's gets you presents if you're good. ...[snrrrrk]

ANYWAY, Automail, huh... that sounds really interesting. Also, I think I'm gonna drop by the clinic for some of those warm clothes you were talking about. [brr]

[Voice] No, just... 15 bloodseal_soul December 2 2008, 07:21:39 UTC

How does he know if I'm good or not though? I mean... is he a stalker...?

No problem, go for it!

[Voice] throws_gun December 2 2008, 07:27:32 UTC

...Well, he does see you when you're sleeping and know when you're awake. But as far as I know he hasn't tried anything weird on Alt, so don't worry about it. If he did, there would be no more Santa Claus.

[Voice] bloodseal_soul December 2 2008, 07:48:46 UTC

... wah?! Really? That's really creepy...

Maybe I'll keep an eye out, just in case.
