[Still no mission! But there's a couple things of note. Santa was gone yesterday, but now he's apparently come back to his house. And there might be familiar faces going into the Toy Factory. Other than that, though, there's nothing really different. It may also be of interest that there doesn't seem to be any repercussions for doing nothing yesterday...]

SANTA'S HOUSE

[xmas_fild01]

[Santa's passing some time at home, doing this and that - eating some cookies, checking his lists... Santa things. His door is open, though, if anyone would like to come for a visit. Even Players might see him glancing out the window as they're passing by.]

[hamtartarus]

[ IT'S... SANTA!111!!!1111 While she's not exactly Western the thought of getting free gifts or giving them out to more deserving people is still pretty exiciting for her. Hamuko pops in his doorway, knocking lightly to gather his attention instead of simply strolling in.

It's only polite! ]

[xmas_fild01]

[Santa looks up at the knock and gets to his feet.]

Ho ho ho! Who's there? Well, never mind, come on inside if you like!

[hamtartarus]

Oh! I can?

Thank you! [ She'll make sure to take off her shoes before entering and at the door. No need to get your floor dirty. ]

[xmas_fild01]

Such a polite girl! Welcome, welcome. And Merry Christmas! Have you been good this year?

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji's not going to knock. He's actually not planning to visit with Santa. He just wanted to give Santa a thank you card of his own. He tries to sneak inside and find a place to put it without attracting Santa's attention. But the jolly old man does see everything. Ryoji might be caught soon enough.]

[xmas_fild01]

[Oh, he sees. But he also sees how sneaky Ryoji is trying to be, so he'll humor it for a moment, turning his back and humming a Christmas tune.]

[notsogrimreaper]

[Oh yeah! He's doing great! He's like a secret agent! He tiptoes over to a little cabinet, slips the card onto the desk, and then starts sneaking back out the door. Look, he's almost home free and Santa's still humming!]

[xmas_fild01]

[still humming, but he'll finish with a]

Thanks for dropping by.

[notsogrimreaper]

[C-Caught. Ryoji turns around, laughing nervously.]

I should have known I couldn't sneak past you.

[xmas_fild01]

That's right. You can't surprise Santa! But you can certainly try! Ho ho ho.

[notsogrimreaper]

I wasn't trying to! I just didn't want to interrupt your work. I know it's a busy season, so...

[doudemoe]

[Nothing again today. Minato may be a newb, but the lack of missions was feeling odd to him. He's in deep thought until he passes by a house with a door open. And inside, through the window, is...Santa?

What's he doing with the door open?

Intrigued, Minato steps inside.]

[xmas_fild01]

[So quiet, Minato! Santa has gone back to reading and didn't notice that he came in.

Peek over his shoulder?]

[doudemoe]

[This is the real Santa, right? He peeks over his shoulder to make sure if it is.]

[xmas_fild01]

[He's made a list of people, and he's checking it twice - Hard to tell who's naughty or nice though. The only difference between names is that many are crossed out. "Naughty"... or something else?

Either way, he can't look for long without being noticed.]

My goodness, you startled me! I didn't hear you knock! Ho ho ho.

[and with a snap, the list is rolled up in his hand.]

I take it you've come looking for information on Lutie, hmm?

[doudemoe]

[The word doesn't ring a bell. Not like it'd matter.]

No.
