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...]

[Wha...]

Pardon?

Short a pair of ears today? I asked what your purchase price was. Santa pays well, I hear.

[audio]

[likesfootnotes]

Well, not everyone. There are people that deserve that kind of fate.

[Magicians could be left out of the loop, though they tend to be the most in on the trickery.]

C-commercial?

[What?]

[Audio]

[70ftandcounting]

Mine, too! That's why I'm so worried.

[70ftandcounting]

O-okay, Kevas. I trust you.

[70ftandcounting]

Oh! I'm so sorry - I'm Rapunzel! It's nice to meet you.

[Heading that way! And...what on earth...]

[needsnobottle]

You know, corporate. All about selling people things and whatnot.

Though I guess some people still view it as a religious holiday.

If...if yore sure...

Do you think it's safe to sleep?

[audio]

[70ftandcounting]

Ummm....s-sure...?

[WHAT?]

[Tammy gets the feeling they're having something of a failure to communicate here.]

Let me guess: got your Christmas information from a djinn?

[audio]

[the-brokenhorn.livejournal.com]

I don't really understand what you're saying.

[audio]

[70ftandcounting]

Oh! I - I think so.

*Yeah, maybe he should have said something about the whole wings and tail and not really human thing.
Jacob looks up and folds his wings in as she nears.*

Rapunzel?

[audio]

[needsnobottle]

Yeah, I figured. Friendly advice: you can only believe about every fifth word he says, and that's only if the word is an indefinite or definite article.

Everything else is pretty much him just pulling your leg and telling you that it was the OTHER guy doing it.

[audio]

[70ftandcounting]

B-but...

[Frowning.]

He...he said...

[70ftandcounting]

Y-yes. That's me.

[She comes up to him, eyes wide as she...stares. She's trying not to, but...well.

Come on. This is new.]

[audio]

[needsnobottle]

Yeah he says a lot. He likes the sound of his own voice. Or the shape of his own words. Mostly he likes yanking chains.

*He smiles and turns towards her, offering her a single feather. Its about as long as his hand.*

I told you I could get you feathers.

*He doesn't seem to mind the staring, at least not right now.*

I guess I should have mentioned why, though. Sorry.

[audio]

[70ftandcounting]

But he said people would try and change my mind...

[70ftandcounting]

Wow!

[She takes it, holding it out in front of her and giving it a wave.]

It's so pretty!

[icnfly.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

*He does try to keep his feathers nice and shiney.*

Shall we try the stables for a spare horse shoe?

[audio]

[needsnobottle]

Tricky ass, innit he?

[Can you hear her shrugging?]

I mean, you can believe me if you want or not, but if you don't know him any better than you know me, why put more weight on his words just 'cause they came first?

[audio]

[likesfootnotes]

Playing ignorant won't save you. Santa's clearly given you some sort of inspiration to defend his "good" name and I want to know what it is.

Or should I outright offer to double it?

[Not that he could or would intend to pay.]

[audio]

[the-brokenhorn.livejournal.com]

I-I think you've got the wrong idea about who Santa is.
