exsilium | 5th Bloom ❁ Video

Hello everyone,

My name is Flora, for those that might not know. It's nice to meet you. [Yeah her posts are tagged as such, but propriety etc etc] I know that there is a lot going on right now, so, if anyone needs anything--fruits, veggies, or other things--we could work out an...exchange perhaps? [She suddenly looks mildly uncomfortable, almost wincing at the word "exchange" in particular, but then she is smiling again, with gentle sincerity] If you don't have anything to offer, please don't worry about it, just try to pay it forward to someone else that might need help, if you can.

Secondly, Christmas is coming up, and other holidays too, it seems? We don't have them where I'm from, and while Christmas, at least, means the world to someone I know, I'm still learning about it, I suppose.

There is something I have been wondering, though?

[Flora's eyes sharpen with intellectual curiosity, and as she cradles her chin between her thumb and forefinger, it's obvious that the next words she's about to utter have been given the utmost, perhaps even reverent, consideration.]

Could someone please tell me more about Santa Claus? He sounds like a really powerful man with his Christmas magic.

[is she joking is she not we just don't know]

Thank you.

[Anyway, she cuts the feed.]

........

Maybe, he's a ghost. I mean. It would explain the repetitive behavior.

Could a ghost have that kind of power, though?

[SHE'S PRETTY SURE HE'S PROBABLY A WIZARD?? MAYBE???]

I guess that's unlikely.

But... why else, then?

Because he just wants to? I am actually really curious about that part, too. I want to know why he decided to start giving presents at all, but just like people celebrate holidays every year, this could maybe be a personal tradition for him.

Ah! That one I do know! He used to be Saint Nicholas who was very well known for secretly giving gifts to those in need.

Maybe he thought his job was unfinished. [She's a bit hung up on this ghost theory.]

If he's a ghost who breaks into people's homes uninvited, wouldn't the Order technically be obligated to exorcise him?

NO!

Absolutely not! No one would take that order!

I mean! He's not HURTING anyone! Why would we! We totally wouldn't.

He is a good one!

[THERE'S ACTUALLY. a little bit of worry in her tone.]

Is there such a thing as a 'good' ghost, though? I mean, the whole reason we exorcise them is because they don't belong in this world, right?

What if he does the things he does because he's trying to capture someone's attention? And anyone who can travel across the entire planet in one night is obviously dangerously powerful.

You--you can't exorcise Santa Claus!

[So horrified at the idea]

And there are good ghosts!

He's probably a wizard anyway!

[SO NO NEED TO TRY AND EXORCISE HIM!]

It's not that ghost are evil — [ assuming that's what the objection was about; he looks genuinely, innocently perplexed by the horror this is inspiring in everyone ] that's poltergeists, usually — but if they're restless, it's for a reason, right? It's not like they want to be trapped in the wrong dimension.

...

I didn't realize wizards were real, though.

[ SELECTIVE SKEPTICISM ]

Ghosts are often restless where you're from? [She ponders that, actually.] I suppose that would male sense in some cases.

[something that doesn't make sense though: what he just said]

But you exorcise ghosts!

EVEN IF HE WAS A GHOST! It's our duty to protect him!

...

Wizard would be pretty amazing though.

CHRONO! LETS CONVINCE THEM HE'S A WIZARD.

I agree!

On all counts!

Think about what Christmas would be like if he wasn't around.

[The HORROR]

Well if it would ruin Christmas...

[ WHATEVER MAKES YOU KIDS HAPPY ]

Besides, if the Order hasn't done it by now, they're probably not going to. So I don't think you have to worry about convincing them.

... I wonder if he's still around in this world.

[Was Santa susceptible to these futuristic bombs?]

Maybe we should try and find out.

[ Indulgently, ] We need to find out more about this new timeline anyway, right? Not just the UE, but the natives, too.

It's not a bad place to start.

[ And if they slam doors in their faces anyway, Chrono can probably think up some elaborate story for why the ghost or myth or whatever-it-is of Santa Clause is definitely still legit. ]

I would think it's universal...It'll be a good conversation starter for around here anyway.

Have you gone out to see anyone yet?

Um, what is this Order, anyway, if I might ask.

[BECAUSE CURIOUS]
