watch out

WHO: Santa(??) and you!
WHERE: all around!
WHEN: Christmas Day
WHAT: A new challenger approaches...
WARNINGS: Holiday cheer, maybe coal

[ Are the hotel guests in need of a little more holiday cheer, or are they bah-humbuged out? If they are…then that’s too bad! Because a special visitor is making an appearance on Christmas day. What, you didn’t think Santa would be around on his special day?

He can be found making his way around the hotel, across various floors and hallways, fully suited up, with a bag of gifts slung across his back, and he has one for everyone! The results may vary depending on whether or not Santoru deems you as naughty or nice, but it won’t hurt to see what he has to give you, right…?

Just don’t pull on his beard. It’s definitely super real.

Afterwards, in the hotel lobby he can be found with a tray of peculiar cupcakes, offering them to passersby, as well as any gifts he hasn’t given out yet. ]

Hey-ho-ho! Wanna eat my face? It'll make you 200% jollier and sexier. It's true!


[ Results may vary. ]

[unliminal]

Ah, I see, so you believe in the whole "immaculate conception" thing...

[ He holds the tray of cupcakes out to Nico, a bit more insistently. ]

So, you wanna see what all the hubbub is about? With Christmas, I mean.

[crimsin]

Eh?

[ "immaculate conception"??? help ]

I am given to believe it is similar to how we celebrate the Solstice back home. But go on, regale me. I wish to know where these questionably-decorated cupcakes fit in!

[unliminal]

[ He is the last person who should fill in the gaps, but here he is, regardless... ]

There's usually an offering made to appease Santa-sama by his followers, of cookies and milk, but cupcakes work in a pinch. This time, I've decided to be extra generous and give out my own offerings, as well as gifts for everyone in the hotel!

[ He holds up his free arm, like he is anticipating applause for this magnanimous deed. ]

[crimsin]

Oh, I see! You are like the tooth fairy, but instead of taking teeth and leaving money, you take cookies and leave presents!

[ Just what is the mythology in Nico’s world… ]

[unliminal]

[ They have the Tooth Fairy, but not Santa...you know what, he'll just roll with it. ]

Sure, close enough. So, have you been a good boy this year?

[ Yes, this is important, too. ]

[crimsin]

[ Don’t worry about it. ]

Oh, yes, absolutely. I have been the very model of perfection and not annoying at all!

[ Citation needed. ]

[unliminal]

[ ...Well, he'd be stupid to not take him for his word! ]

Huh. Okey-dokey! That's good enough for me. Here, have one of these, on the house!

[ He reaches into his sack of goodies, handing Nico a neatly wrapped package with a glittery red ribbon. ]

[crimsin]

Oh?

[ A present!! Despite what they talked about, he wasn’t actually expecting to get anything. ]

Why, thank you! May I open it now?

[unliminal]

Sure! I'm not your boss-ho-ho.

[ His Santa-speak could use some work. In any case, Nico will find that his gift is somewhat...heavy, and when he unwraps it, he will find a fluffy weighted blanket, in whatever pattern he would like! ]

[crimsin]

[ Ho-ho??

Sir what did you just call him??? At least he’s nicely distracted by tearing into the present and pulling out a red blanket peppered with white snowflakes. The extra weight is like nothing in his hands, but he does feel that it’s there. ]

Ohhh, I have heard of these. They have extra weight for comfort, oui?

[unliminal]

[ Look, he doesn't know what the ho-ho's are about either, he's just working with what he's given. ]

We what? [ ...anyway ] Yeah, it's supposed to, like, flatten you in bed so you lose all will to fight going to sleep.

[ So he thinks, anyway, he's never actually used one... ]

[crimsin]

No, oui. It means "yes" in my native tongue. I have heard some people here refer to it as French? Perhaps you are familiar.

[ He holds the blanket up, looking a bit skeptical. ]

That is a rather depressing way to think of it, is it not? I quite enjoy sleeping.

[unliminal]

[ So he speaks French, but doesn't call it French...huh. He can't promise he won't make another dumb "we' joke, but noted. ]

In that case, think of it like a warm hug sending you to sleep! By another person who fell asleep on top of you.

[ Is this helping??? ]

[crimsin]

… That is much better! I have a friend who will probably enjoy this blanket a great deal.

[ If he gives Jing Yuan this blanket, we will never see him again. ]

[unliminal]

[ A sharp little frown from under his (total real) beard. ]

Wait, you're already gonna regift my gift? At least wait until I'm not looking!

[crimsin]

I am going to share your gift!! It is different!

[ Calm down Kirkland brand Santa!! ]

[unliminal]

[ Better than Kroger brand, at least... ]

Tch...fine, I guess! When I come to do my post-Christmas inspection in the summer, you better be ready to produce your gift. Otherwise...you'll suffer my wrath.

[crimsin]

I am not opening my door for strange men in fake beards to see if I still have a blanket or not!

[unliminal]

I shave in summer.

[ Ignoring the "fake beard" comment, it's so obviously real?? ]

[crimsin]

[







I’m so sorry but he’s going to reach over to try and tug on that beard. ]

[unliminal]

[ It's an admirable attempt, but one that ultimately goes nowhere, since even as Santa-san, Gojo still has his technique activated, so when Nico's hand is within a few inches of his beard, his hand will simply slow down until it stops moving entirely. ]

Bzzzzzzt! That's a flagrant foul! Straight to the naughty list for you!

[ As he waggles his finger at...

what was this guy's name again ]

[crimsin]

[ This is different? He's going to try and push against that force, for all the good it will do him. ]

Oh, but what is this magic you have?

[ HA. Can't put him on the naughty list if you don't know his name. ]

[unliminal]

[ As he watches Nico's hand, but makes no move to stop him (beyond, you know, the infinity the repels him): ]

It's my Naughtiness Trap Activation Barrier. Anytime someone from the Naughty List tries to attack me, it goes off and keeps me safe.

[ Narrowing his eyes— ]

Naughty-Lister.
