The jolly man in red is sitting in an armchair, with a large sack, wearing his outfit.

He has a sign on his table.

YES I AM FATHER CHRISTMAS
COME AND TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

It saves time, you know?

Hey, here's a familiar face.

"Hi. Um... what if what I want is for someone else?"

[father_chris]

"Go on ahead." Father Christmas says. So long as their player doesn't mind.

[a_mere_child]

Alyx settles into the seat opposite Father Christmas. "There's a young woman I met here named Ellen Park," she begins. "She lost her father earlier this year, and is just having a really rough time in general..."

[father_chris]

"Poor lass." Father Christmas says. "What do you reckon she'd like?"

[shoeless_ed]

Ed has been watching Father Christmas from under a nearby table for some time now. She's not sure what to make of him.

[father_chris]

Father Christmas waves at her.

[shoeless_ed]

Ed, discovered, clambers out from under the table. "Ed has a question."

[father_chris]

"Who's Ed?" Father Christmas asks.

Enzo isn't sure whether to stare, laugh, facepalm, or just shrug.

"Father Christmas... that's the same as Santa Claus, right?"

[father_chris]

"Yes." Father Christmas says, smiling. "What's your name?"

[a1enzo]

"Enzo Matrix. Oh, man, Dani's dad is gonna love this..."

[father_chris]

"Nice to meet you Enzo. What would you like for Christmas?"

[realmrsreynolds]

Uh. Wow.

"Hello, sir," Sallie offers, looking very confused indeed about the whole 'Father Christmas' routine. "I've been told to come see you, actually."

[father_chris]

"Hello there." Father Christmas says, smiling and pulling out the chair next to him for her.

She's a little big to have sitting on his knee.

"And what would you like for Christmas, young lady?"

[realmrsreynolds]

"Oh, this ain't about me, actually."

Sallie digs into one of the pockets of her apron and pulls out a sheaf of different kinds of paper, tied up in a rough semblance of a bow.

"I was wondering if you'd be able to deliver these to folk. I dug them out of the Lost and Found box, and I was thinking that you might be able to have some more luck than I've had at finding the people who need 'em most."

[father_chris]

Father Christmas takes the papers, and looks at them.

"Depends if they're on my patch." he says, looking through them. "They're all from here and to people from here?"

This could take a bit of sorting. Right before Christmas, too.

[ooc: Are these present requests to FC, or just letters that were never picked up at the bar?]
