He sounds like a god to me, most of them can look at the whole world, though they don't do it all the time.

[23wishes]

exactly!! are we dealing with a real god here? i'm getting conflicting answers

and don't think ur getting out of answering my question

[protects_the_small]

Oh was this for me? It was public and all

[23wishes]

of course!!!

do you really think i'd ask everyone here what they wanted?

[protects_the_small]

Only if you could charge them for it

[23wishes]

damn i should have thought of that

UR STILL DODGING THE QUESTION

[monge]

santa IS real

[23wishes]

oh

is he a yokai??

[monge]

[Finally, someone gets it.]

yes
komajiro and i helped him deliver presents before i came here
I got to wear a beard

[23wishes]

[Makes about as much sense as anything else here. Santa confirmed real here and on Riku's world...]

i bet you looked really cute!

[monge]

[Oh...]

i just looked like regular me
but with a beard

[23wishes]

are you gonna be santa again this year?

[monge]

no i do not think so
i was not assigned this year
That's fine these cities are much bigger
i would be so tired

[23wishes]

oh well

i'd like santa a lot more if he were one of my friends

[monge]

...you can make friends with santa!!!

[23wishes]

only if he's really here!

[monge]

why wouldn't he be?/

[resipiscent]

Sora met Santa once.

[23wishes]

i'm not surprised

seems like he knows everyone!

did sora meet him here?

[resipiscent]

Nah
he met him back home, while he was looking for me

I wouldn't be surprised if he knew everyone, though

Ah, Santa is more of an American thing, from what I understand. Christmas is more of a couples holiday in Japan, so you don't really have to get me anything.

[23wishes]

nothing??????

but there has to be something u need!

socks?

[psychofailed]

[This is kind of awkward, but he supposes if she wants to, there's no harm in it.]

I could probably use a new pack of cigarettes soon, I guess.

What about you?

[23wishes]

i'm not buying you something to kill yourself faster

[But, okay, she'll give him a break and answer again a few minutes later]

i don't think i need anything...

[psychofailed]

[Well, on the upside, at least he doesn't...s...ay that he doesn't think he's going to live long enough for that to be an issue....]

A book, then? Maybe something by Stephen King.

[nerdlord why didn't you go with that in the first place]

I could get you some new flowerpots, if you want?

He's real where I'm from, [ said casually as he can. ] And yeah, he does watch you when you sleep—not in a creepy way, though.

[23wishes]

[Oh, good, it's the Doctor! Aerith does an excited wave over the feed.]

That makes three imPort worlds that have a real Santa! Do you know if he's real here, though?

[helpline]

I don't know! Maybe we could hop on up to the North Pole to find out?

[ said like that's something you just can DO. ]

[23wishes]

Are you trying to get me arrested?

[But this is The Doctor so yeah, actually, maybe.]

I'll go AWOL...

[helpline]

Well we'll ask the government first and then go to the North Pole.

[23wishes]

You are kidding, right? It's hard to tell with you.

[Paaaaaaaaaaause.]

Because I'd go if you're serious!

[helpline]

Of course I'm serious! Why wouldn't I be serious?

[ SANTA IS NO LAUGHING MATTER. ]

You'll probably hear a hundred different stories surrounding the myths about Santa Claus. My understanding is that this jolly fellow in red with his magic flying sleigh and reindeer is actually based on the legends of a man named St. Nicholas known as Sinter Klaas among the Dutch, which was shortened from Sint Nikolaas. Sounds conveniently like Santa Claus. He then became mythologized into the jolly elf who travels the world over in one night with his naught and nice list, delivering presents to all good girls and boys.

For parents, Santa Claus is a tool that they use to coerce their children into behaving.

Ho-ho-hooooo!
