003; video; made at about 3 p.m.

 [ See Sora.

See Sora in a Santa hat looking way too cheerful. ]

With Christmas coming next week, don't forget to let Santa know what you want, guys!

[ There's no sign of shame or embarrassment at clearly being too old to believe in Santa and yet apparently doing so. None. ]

And don't forget to leave him a thank you note or something. He's a pretty cool guy. [  He nods, affirming his own answer. ] I actually met him in Christmas Town before.

[ Being half-Disney is magical. ]

-- Hey, Riku! We should have a Christmas party!

[ That last bit is shouted to somewhere off camera as the video ends. ]

[resipiscent]

[He's sitting in a chair playing with his kitten and he looks up as Sora shuts the video off, a feather wand dangling from his fingers. Atoli is hanging off of it, teeth sunk into the feather and hugging it as close to herself as possible, back legs kicking.]

Uh, okay. Who're you gonna invite?

action

[clownshoes]

I was thinking your friends, and then a couple people I've met. Roxas too.

[ he parks himself next to the chair, keeping himself safely out of kitten scratching distance. ]

action

[resipiscent]

Hm. Okay.

[Riku drops the wand, reaching forward to pick the kitten up by her armpits, then depositing her gently onto Sora's shoulder. She seems content with the development.]

Yeah, Roxas and Xion would like that...

[He's sitting back, considering. He's got a lot of people who would probably show up -- so they have to consider just how many people they're expecting, and all that stuff. Riku tilts his head a little, eyes closing so he can think about it.]

Who were you thinking?

action

[clownshoes]

Xion? [ the name clearly doesn't ring a bell.

sora nuzzles the kitten on his shoulder, apparently unbothered by the tiny claws digging in to keep its perch. ]

Hm...Well, I talked to a girl named Max. She seemed pretty nice. And a guy named Sai.

[debauchewy]

Oh? You believe in Santa?

video

[clownshoes]

Of course. I met him in person!

[ and got told he was on the naughty list, oops. ]

video

[debauchewy]

[He met him in person, aww... Well to Hisoka he's not sure he believes that entirely. Children often meet 'santa' in this world after all, but it's hardly the mythical being himself. He just smiles though. He's unsure if this is Sora truly being honest or just naive, the boy seemed a bit more aware in their time together before.]

Did you now? Did you ask him to get you something nice?

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

You met Santa!?

You gotta tell me everything!

[clownshoes]

Yeah! He was pretty nice. We even saw his workshop and the elves!

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

No way! I knew my siblings were wrong about Santa not being real. Wow.

How does he do the chimney thing? Did you ask him? Cause I don't think he'd fit down most of 'em now.

video | id reads "karen starr" (1/2)

[boobwindow]

[ She almost forgot Sora did meet Donald Duck and Goofy, so Santa existing in his universe isn't... nearly as far fetched as it sounds. ]

[boobwindow]

Might be an issue getting in when you live in an apartment.

[clownshoes]

He can find a way! He's Santa!

[mirroredmemory]

What happens if you don't want anything? Does Santa still come then?

[clownshoes]

[mirroredmemory]

Well, I already have everything I need, and there's only one thing I really want and I don't think Santa could get it for me

[superposition]

[kid... aren't you a little old to be believing in santa........ yeah he looks pretty skeptical.]

"Christmas Town," huh? What is that, a theme park?

video;

[clownshoes]

No, it's where Santa lives. You get to it by going through a tree in the forest at Halloween Town.

video;

[superposition]

That still sounds like a theme park.

video;

[oathkeeping]

I'm not sure he's going to make it to this world. Something keeps it separate from the ones we've been to.

video;

[clownshoes]

You mean like the pathways?

video;

[oathkeeping]

Uh-huh. If we can't use them to leave, how can he use them to get here?

[video]

[justimprobable]

[The mention of a town called Christmas piques her interest for a moment, but she brushes it off, smiling at Sora's enthusiasm.]

He is pretty cool, isn't he? I got to ride in his sleigh once, myself.

[video]

[clownshoes]

Really? Man, I should've asked to do that.

[justimprobable]

I'm sure he would have said yes. He's a nice fellow. Helped us save the world, actually.

[There's nothing more fun than telling kids here about her adventures, and seeing their excitement. Because here, they actually believe her.]
