[Video] / Action // Holiday Cheer?

[justicereigns]

[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?]

[..... 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.

[Video]

[ilyana]

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?

[Video]

[justicereigns]

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.

[Video]

[ilyana]

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 :|]

[Video]

[justicereigns]

[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.

[Video]

[ilyana]

I share an apartment with miss Chun-Li umm... room 26... 6th floor... public housing 3.

...

Only two?

[Video]

[justicereigns]

Maybe four, if you've been extra good.

[Oh. Awesome. The Building with a Whitebeard Flag on the roof. This bodes so well.]

[Video]

[ilyana]

Don't worry! I've been good!

[Four still wasn't much, but at least it was twice as much as she was going to get.]

I... I even saved miss Chun-Li some food for dinner!

[Hey, this is a major accomplishment for her! Her elf has been quite nagging about it really.]

[Video]

[justicereigns]

You normally don't? That seems... naughty.

[Video]

[ilyana]

No... No, Santa please... you must understand...

If I don't eat enough I... I start passing out and going into hunger induced comas!

[Video]

[justicereigns]

What, seriously?

That sounds dangerous. Have you seen a doctor?

[Video]

[ilyana]

Several actually...

They've all told me there's nothing medically wrong with me except... for malnutrition... Apparently I don't even eat enough.

[Video]

[justicereigns]

That's... how much do you eat at a time?

[Video]

[ilyana]

When I cook for myself? Usually... 7 helpings?

[Video]

[justicereigns]

How long between meals?!

[Video]

[ilyana]

Umm... Not counting snacks? ... Or in between meals? ... a few hours?

[Video]

[justicereigns]

That's some crazy metabolism.

[Video]

[ilyana]

Yes... it's been that way as long as I can remember.

[Video]

[justicereigns]

How do you even survive?

[Video]

[ilyana]

... With great difficulty.

[Video]

[justicereigns]

Dancing sugar plum fairies....

[Yeah. His swears are being Holiday-ified.]

That's terrible. I'll see if I can sneak you some extra food for Christmas at least.

[Video]

[ilyana]

[Ilyana will just think he normally censors himself like that, and will get to be pleasantly surprised when she meets Smoker after all this is over.]

Thank you Santa Claus... I'm sorry if I had thought terrible things about you when I first heard of you. It was all just a bit of... miscommunication.

[Video]

[justicereigns]

You thought terrible things when you heard of me?

[Whut.]

[Video]

[ilyana]

Well... I was told you watch people in their sleep... and you keep a list of naughty people... among... other things.

[Video]

[justicereigns]

[Drags a palm down his face and goes up to the rooftop of the building.]

It's so that kids won't cause so much trouble on their parents. Are you sure you still want me to come through the chimney?
