Day 253 - [Video]

[coolerthansora]

Does anyone know if Santa comes here? I don't know what I'm supposed to get anyone...

[Filtered from Naminé]
Anyway, I had something more important to ask. I'm gonna need help with Naminé's birthday party, at the end of the month. Um, like with decorations and stuff? [This is totally the face of someone who knows what he's doing.]

Rin, d'you think you could help me with a cake?

I'm sure the locals will come up with something for that. ...I'm in the same boat, however. Some people are rather difficult to shop for.

_{[A beat.]}

Is Miss Naminé your girlfriend?

The locals? [How could the locals help Santa? Roxas shakes his head.] I've never shopped for anyone before.

[...what. Where did that question come from? Roxas looks more baffled than embarrassed.]

N-no... I mean, she's a friend... who's a girl... [If that's what you meant?]

Yes--Ah, actually I believe they had someone standing in for him by the ice rink. It's not the Santa Claus people seem to be familiar with, but it's something for the younger ones at least. _{[He shrugs slightly.]} It's not too hard. ...Usually. <sub>[Because Vanitas srsly.

Shhh, just let him tease a little. He means no real harm by it, considering Vanitas shared some details about something else.]</sub>

Relax, relax. I'm only giving you a hard time, Roxas.

The lobster guy? He doesn't look anything like Santa. [A pause as that occurs to him.] You're- getting something for Vanitas?

Oh... [He hasn't been teased about a girlfriend before.]

Just think of it as their own little flair to the holiday. _{[And then a harmless smile.]} Why wouldn't I?

_{[There's a first time for everything!]} You sound disappointed there.

[coolerthansora]

I dunno. ... I was thinking about it, too.

Disappointed? [He shakes his head.] People just don't usually say stuff like that.

[fulmination]

It couldn't hurt.

Ah--I suppose you got me there.

[coolerthansora]

If I can think of something, I guess.

He seems rather partial to sweets if that helps any. Lord knows I've been buying enough to keep restocking the cupboards and pantry for him.

filtered

[coolerthansora]

Huh. Wouldn't've figured he had that much of a sweet tooth.

[fulmination]

It's been six months and I'm still learning new things about him.

filtered

[coolerthansora]

That doesn't surprise me.

[fulmination]

Just go with your gut instinct if you do get him something.

_{[A beat. He should probably ask while he's here, too...]}

Is there anything you might like? I'll be doing some shopping for the people I've gotten to know since I arrived in the next few days.

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas blinks.]

Me? But- we're not friends.

filtered

[fulmination]

It's the thought that counts, isn't it?

filtered

[coolerthansora]

What thought is that...?

filtered

[fulmination]

...You don't celebrate holidays much, do you?

I didn't remember about Christmas last year.
