[LOOK EVERYONE! It's Santa! OMG I KNOW THAT GUY!!!!]

[Wait. What is he doing in Luceti? And why is he smoking two cigars? Surely that is setting a very bad example for the kids! And dang, don't those scars look a little familiar? Along with the scowling face? Why yes! It's Smoker! Back from his kidnapping! He clears his throat gruffly and... wait for it.... wait for it....]

[Why yes! That is Smoker, dressed as Santa, caroling. It's a holiday miracle!]

Have a holly jolly Christmas....

[He sounds like someone just killed his pet. Dear god, that's about as far from "holly jolly as you can get!]

It's the best time of the year.
I don't care if there'll be snow.
I just want a rum and beer.

[... Um. We're experiencing some technical difficulties, as a green little elf hand stops the journal transmission. After a few seconds he comes back and TRIES to be a little more cheerful...ish.]

Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street... [He twitches. Can he do it? Can he keep up this masquerade of holiday spirits and Santa Claus holly jolly warmth?!]
Say hello to --

No. That's it. I'm done. Keep your damn rum cookies you tyrant! I'm out of here.

[And he storms out, shutting off his journal to take it with him.

[Action:]

[If anyone wants to find him, he's skipping teaching lessons today and just bumming around the bar instead. Still stuck in his Santa costume. It doesn't come off. And thus his immense frustration. Besides Chun-Li already mentioned covering them so fuck it. Time for booze. Also, if no one stops him, he'll be lighting up his cigars with a cigar menorah. Yes. A cigar menorah. Too bad no matter how he tries he can't seem to pry the cigars out of there. Oh... and he does try. At least they keep smoking and smelling vaguely pine like! Awww how festive.]

God damn it! These cigars don't even taste like cigars! I might as well just be eating candy canes!! [Gives up and stubs them out, slumping his head into the bar. Being Smoker is suffering. Not to mention... what the hell is in that sack he's got anyway?]

[Facepalm.]

Don't encourage whatever powers might be listening.

[Paranoid Smoker much?]

Why not? I think you'd make a stellar decoration.

[Grin grin!]

I don't want to be one!

[SCOWLS FOREVER!]

[Wow. He patted his head, just like the stories! And Aang eagerly accepts the candy canes, but he gives the second one to his elf, who just uses it like an actual cane. The elf gives Smoker a nod but keeps eying him warily. Hoping he doesn't besmirch the Santa name.]

Thank you so much! So you're really gonna bring us all presents?

[Slow nod.]

Well, I'll try for all the good kids. The good adults usually remember to give each other presents at least. I guess if any of them were innocent enough.

Most of the adults here seem innocent. But what if they're kids at heart?

Then I'm sure they're still on my list and deserving on presents too.

Where do you keep it and how do you find paper big enough? Do you really visit every world, and how do you know there aren't any that you're missing? Can you and your deer breathe anywhere?

...

[Don't mind her, she's just going to stare intently for a bit.]

Are you Santa Claus?

Reindeer. Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen. They have antlers, because they're flying reindeer.

Yes, we get everywhere even underwater and space. But I have to use help. Except for the smokestacks. [Mildly proud because fuck it, at least there's something he can tell the truth about.] I can just handle the smoke on my own.

And I have advanced technology that lets me slow down time around me so I can get everywhere, and I have a lot of elves to help. [Points at the elf.] They help me keep track of the worlds and people. The list is shrunk, just like the magic bag shrinks down really big presents so I can carry them all.

[He wants to ask how old she is, but he can't tell... /SIGH.]

If you think so.

... That's not terribly convincing Mr. Claus.

Look kid, Santa is kind of a faith deal.

If you don't believe in him, I've got better things to do than convince you otherwise.

You want a candy cane?

[Ilyana claps her hands in delight at the offer of a candy cane]

Yes please! You must be Santa, because you knew exactly what I wanted!

[Ilyana... you always want food :| It ain't that hard to figure out.]

[..... Okay Smoker is genuinely stunned. She wanted a candy cane? Well whatever. His bag really only has candy canes.]

Okay, come outside I guess. I'll give you a couple.

Oh... I guess coming down the chimney is something you reserve for just Christmas day huh... okay I'll be right down.

... How many do you have anyways?

I could come down the chimney if you want, but it'll take longer. I'm only allowed to slow down time on Christmas. [VERY DRY ANSWER.]

[And he looks at the bag and shrugs.]

Several.

Would you please? I've been quite eager to see what it's like to have Santa come down the Chimney.

[She also doesn't want to mention that she's afraid of passing out on the stairs again :(]

Do you... have any plans to give them out to everybody?

[Ilyana... even you will get sick if you eat that many candy canes :|]

We'll see. Maybe the guys upstairs will oblige.

Have you found your elf yet?

[ Guess who totally falls for a disguise like that, no matter how unsubtle it is. Yeah. This girl here, despite already being eighteen.. she seems rather excited too - in her own usual blank way - and she even smiles as she walks up to him while he's still outside. ]

.. Ah, Santa.. you really came.

[As Smoker named the deer, the elf counts on his fingers to amke sure. And he listens attentively, giving a reluctant nod at the end. While Aang is just getting more and more overjoyed by listening to it.]

Wow, that's amazing! I never even heard of you in my world, before. Does that mean you gave us presents without us noticing? Or... [He frowns slightly.] Does that mean we're not nice?

You just got presents without knowing and probably attributed them to something else. After all, I knew your name, right?

Oh. Joy to me.

Yes. Unfortunately. He was the one who suggested singing might get me out of this stupid suit. He was wrong.

[Sighs. The hell building does this girl even live in?] Fine, but I don't have my maps with me, so you'll have to remind me which house is yours, sorry.

And yes. Two for everyone.

[Oh Kotomi... he can't. He just pats her head with a gloved hand just like in the stories.]

Of course Kotomi-chan, I wouldn't miss it for anything. I'm glad to see you're being a good girl as always.
