On Christmas Lists and Other Things

[magisterus]

What would you have me ask for, mundane?

I have need of nothing, nor do I know others well enough to ask for them.

[ . . . ]

I am not lacking "Christmas spirit" as you say, and your idea to have me "dress up" for the occasion is foolishness at best.

There are more important matters that require my attention.

Oh now, Yen Sid, there's nothing wrong with getting into the holiday spirit.

[magisterus]

[ PRINCESS, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT'S LIKE IN THIS MUN'S HEADSPACE.... ]

Certainly not.

[ He's not a Grinch. Not really. ]

I simply have no desire to imitate the attire of someone I know exists.

[cursedtosleep]

Might that certain someone be Father Christmas?

[magisterus]

Perhaps.

[ YES. ]

[cursedtosleep]

Is it really so horrible to be compared to someone who makes everyone smile and brings good cheer?

[magisterus]

He is not me, nor am I him.

It is best to leave such things to the professionals.

[ And Father Christmas knows his trade very well. ]

[cursedtosleep]

People know that, Yen Sid, but it is the season to be merry and good cheer. You could at least offer a smile.

[takesyoubytheheart]

I dunno, I think ya'd make a pretty good Santa Claus!

[heh heh heh.]

[magisterus]

[ Mickey. B| ]

Do you.

[ The most unamused face ever. ]

[takesyoubytheheart]

[c'mon, not!dad, grow a funny bone.]

It'd give that beard some good use!

Heh heh... heh...

[magisterus]

[ Just. This face. ]

[takesyoubytheheart]

...

W-well... happy holidays, at least. Even with all yer important duties, ya ought ta be able ta relax and think of all the good things that happened.

[magisterus]

[ ...darn it, Mickey. He softens a bit at that. ]

I've not forgotten.

No matter how far apart we may be, we are connected, always.

[myresponsibility]

I don't know, you look like someone who could pull off a Santa hat.

[magisterus]

[ ... ]

My own works just as well.

[myresponsibility]

I'm just saying. It could be worse. If you have to get into the spirit of the season.

[magisterus]

I would rather leave it to the man himself.

[rrbando_rambo]

So mundane there wants you to dress up?

At least you haven't been pidgeonholed inta bein' the red nosed reindeer.

[magisterus]

So she tells me.

I doubt she'll take it that far.

[rrbando_rambo]

Oh trust me, you don't want to be the reindeer every year.
Bein pidgeonholed means I get to be the one everyone points to and laughs at.

Bein' Santa Claus really isn't so bad. He's sorta got that fatherly way 'bout him. A little bit like you! An' I betcha if you got yer sorcerer's cap there, you've got all sorta a magical powers like him!

[Dale loves Christmas and Santa Claus, so seeing Master Yen Sid touting a bagful of gifts was a right appealing image right about now.]

[heartisabattleground]

[Sora will attempt to stifle a laugh out of respect, Master Yen Sid.]

I don't know if I could ever see you going along with that, Master Yen Sid.

[magisterus]

[ Yes, good. Someone who respects the elderly masters. B| ]

Indeed, you would not.

[onebadapple]

But Yen Sid! Everyone could use a little holiday spirit!

[magisterus]

And all are welcome to it.

[ He's just not going to dress up. He fails to see how this is even an issue. :| ]

[onebadapple]

Someone sounds a little grumpy.

[magisterus]

It has been many years since I have been in a true state of ire.

[ This is his normal mood, okay. ]

[onebadapple]

Now Yen Sid, you may not be in a state of ire, but you aren't showing the Christmas spirit! Even Grumpy can't resist this time of year! The Father Christmas aside, can't you have a little more fun?

[dork_of_keys]

[Yeah, Sora's trying to picture you dressed up for the holiday and the only mental image he's getting is a tall, skinny Santa Claus. He's probably not going to mention that, even if he seems faintly amused when he does speak up. At least he's not laughing. he has more respect than that.]

I'm sure your mun means well, Master Yen Sid.

[magisterus]

[ Sora, you are a good lad. Respect is very important. :| ]

Perhaps.

There are times I wonder given the others whose space I share.

[dork_of_keys]

[He's trying, at least?]

Do I want to know who else is in that head space?

[magisterus]

[ Trying is very important! ]

An odd bunch, I would say.

[ There's a Lion he's pretty chill with, but the others... ]

I believe you'd be most familiar with the Organization member with an eyepatch.

[ Xehanort's lackey. B| ]

[dork_of_keys]

[He knows this.]

Odd isn't necessarily bad.

[Sora's kind of lucky in that regard, then. He gets along with everyone in his mun's head space.]

... Yeah, I know him. Actually seems like he's having fun with Xehanort's plot.

[madcuriosity]

[This is Alice, and she's laughing at you, Yen Sid.]
