006 - [Action|Accidental Voice]

[hageshii]

[This is day 2 of Goroh's debt to Hanekoma and three days until Christmas. Once again he's out and about dressed in his Santa costume seen here. He'll be hanging out in the market plaza today and will be in and out of the various stores, mostly to occasionally get out of the cold. If you want to make sure Hanekoma is getting his money's worth, be sure to pester 'Santa Claus' as much as possible.

He may or may not also have a present with him for a certain little girl. At one point his journal will be open long enough for a "HO HO HO!", but he'll be shutting the journal immediately afterward. You'll just have to investigate.]

[Kirimi's often wandering around in the marketplace and she sees you again!]

Santa!

[hageshii]

[Oh look, there she is again. He turns to give her his attention. Hopefully nobody is around to see this...]

Hey there, Kirimi.

Is Santa shopping?

[ action ]

[hageshii]

... something like that.

What is Santa doing then?

[ action ]

[hageshii]

Making one delivery, since I can't do it later. [He reaches into one of the bags he has strapped around his waist and pulls out a small poorly wrapped present. Inside is a hand-carved wooden princess doll. The wood work is exceptional, but the hair and dress on it... leave much to be desired.] A present for you. But you can't open it yet, hear?

[Here's squeal of excitement!] For me?? ... I have to wait?

[greaterdays.livejournal.com]

[guess what Goroh, you're attracting more little girls.]

Are you Santa?

[Briefly, Nanako wonders why she feels like she's seen him recently, though now he looks more normal...]

[hageshii]

[Now if only this worked for the thirty-something female crowd.]

I've got the beard, don't I?

[greaterdays.livejournal.com]

[there's only like two people in Luceti who fit that category.]

Yeah!

[but on the plus side, it does work amazingly well on the demographic you can catch.]

[hageshii]

[Forty-somethings maybe?]

Well there you go. What's your name... little girl?

[greaterdays.livejournal.com]

[I don't think upping the age range will help you here]

Nanako Dojima.

[hageshii]

[Why does no one play middle aged women? Is Goroh gonna have to hit on the twenty-somethings?]

Well... have a Merry Christmas, Nanako.

[And have a Yellow 13 walking past. ...Wait, that guy in the Santa suit looks familiar. He looks to see that no one's around before approaching.]

...I don't suppose that's you, Goroh?

[hageshii]

[Since no one is quite around, he pulls down the beard.]

You caught me.

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

[He'll chuckle, but his tone remains even.]

Didn't take you as the type to get into the Christmas spirit.

[hageshii]

Well you're right. I lost a bet.

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

I see. That's unfortunate. But... there might be a silver lining from all of this.

[hageshii]

Oh yeah? And what's that?

[Hikari's in one of those shops, trying to find some presents on her own.]

Santa?

[action]

[hageshii]

[Oh look, more little Japanese girls.]

That's me.

I didn't know you would be able to get here for Christmas...

[action]

[hageshii]

Must be a Christmas miracle, eh?

[action]

[cherishedlight.livejournal.com]

Mmm hmm!

Oh no! But... you're not stuck here, are you?

[action]

[hageshii]

Nope. I'll be gone before too long.
