Everyone?

Please be careful of this Santa person! He's a horrible, mean man that comes and kidnaps young children in the night and forces them to work in his shop like slaves! You have to refuse anything he gives you! Please!

I just -- I want everyone to be safe, it's been so awful around here...

[A tiny, tiny voice.]

F-Flynn? If you -- if you could maybe come see me...that'd be nice.

[Please don't be gone...]

You'll...help me look?

[Flynn can't be gone. He can't.]

I'm...I'm not mad at you, Kevas.

lol

[70ftandcounting]

Oh! That's...that's a wonderful idea!

I'm really sure you have. In my world-

[Wasn't that weird to say.]

In the place where I came from, Santa is a good man who spreads Christmas cheer and good will to men all around the world. He doesn't enslave children or do anything horrible like that.

My parents told me that things like clovers and horse shoes and feathers can ward of evil. Maybe you could get something like that and keep it with you.

[drinkuntilidie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'll help you look.

[It's better than sitting in his room, although he'll probably still keep his distance from her.]

That doesn't mean it wasn't wrong.

[70ftandcounting]

Okay...I'll meet you somewhere.

[You can't hide from Rapunzel hugs, Kevas.]

You made a mistake. It's okay.

[70ftandcounting]

Oh! What a wonderful idea! Will you help me look?`

[icnfly.livejournal.com]

No problem. I can get you feathers pretty quickly, and the stable probably has horse shoes, but I'm not sure about clovers.

*No idea if they're allowed to take horse shoes either, but...that doesn't seem that important right now.*

Are you sure? Bartimaeus says he's a nefarious tyrant who enslaves children -- and he will come for you in the dark, while you're sleeping!

[drinkuntilidie.livejournal.com]

[Doesn't mean he can't try.]

It might be better if I searched on my own. I'm still not feeling...well.

[He really doesn't want to snap at her again.]

[70ftandcounting]

[You'll never escape.]

...Oh.

[She sounds SO DISAPPOINTED.]

Okay.

[70ftandcounting]

Okay...I'll see if I can find some for both of us! Want to meet somewhere in the middle?

[icnfly.livejournal.com]

Are you in the barracks right now? We could meet somewhere in them, since I am.

[70ftandcounting]

I am, yes!

[icnfly.livejournal.com]

You want to meet by the exit? Um, the one on the green's side?

[drinkuntilidie.livejournal.com]

[Oh by the Loa don't be like that Rapunzel. You're making his heart hurt.]

I don't want to do something I regret and you be the one to suffer for it.

[needsnobottle]

Not big on commercial holidays where you're from, huh?

[70ftandcounting]

I...I understand.

[She doesn't, now really. But she won't push.]

[70ftandcounting]

Okay! I'll be there in just a moment!

[drinkuntilidie.livejournal.com]

[He feels like he just kicked a puppy, although with the way the past few weeks have gone he wouldn't be surprised if he did.]

I'll make it up to you little one, I promise. Just give me some time.

[icnfly.livejournal.com]

Oh! I'm Jacob, by the way.

*And he shall be hanging out inside, near the exit, and preening a wing.*

[idkmybffcyclops]

Nothing's gonna happen to you either, okay?

[Cause Santa isn't real. But even if he is (because you never know in this hellhole) he's not gonna bother her.]

[Audio]

[lightwithin]

Rapunzel, that doesn't sound right...

A friend of mine met Santa.

[If Santa was bad, Sora would know.

Wouldn't he?

Maybe... He wouldn't. Sora was kind of dense.]

[audio]

[the-brokenhorn.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm sure. I think Bartimaeus might have been kidding. It sounds like he was playing a mean joke on you.

[audio] threadjack!

Trying to slander the voice of truth around here, I see. How many candy canes is the fat, jolly man paying you to do his dirty work?
