[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?]

Comments

No worries, I died >>;

[justicereigns]

Tch. Sounds like some marines I know. Enforce the rules, but hell if they bother to follow them themselves. [Not that Smoker's exactly one to talk.]

Except that he doesn't break anything to get in. He slips in through chimneys, so by definition, no breaking in.

[weaponry]

Hm. Do as I say, not as I do is a popular way to enforce things.

[ She shrugs. ]

Breaking in is entering a building without the consent on the owner's part, so he is trespassing at the very least. It's not a physical act of breaking something, he just forces his way in.

[justicereigns]

But rarely effective.

Trespassing maybe, but he's not even forcing his way in, and people leave out cookies and milk for him. It's more like waiting for an expected guest who only comes for a very short time.

[weaponry]

Point, but, in this case, I'm pretty sure some people don't want him in their homes since the elves are just not very appealing. I know I don't want him in my home if this is how his underlings act.

[justicereigns]

The elves are a poor representation, just the Malnosso being Christmas angels. [HINT: Angel was not the word he was going for there.]

[weaponry]

In that case, do you think Santa's just going to be a representation of him too? [ She figures but she's not going to make his day even worse and call him out on that. ]
