[Dictated]

 [If anyone should happen to be in the lobby tonight, they might be in time to see a cloud of soot suddenly coming out of it. If that person also happens to still believe in a certain jolly gift-giver, it would be hard to miss the gigantic white-bearded man in red who had also come into the room through the chimney.  He climbs to his feet and dusts himself off while grumbling in a heavy Russian accent.]

I tell elves to clean chimney.  And do they do it?  No!  Dingle is going back on cookie duty, I am thinking.

And what is this?  [He waves the open journal around irritably, not knowing it was carrying his every word to those who could hear and writing down every word he spoke.]  Who leaves books just lying around?]

[He turns and takes in his new surroundings.]

...Wrong chimney?

Bah, there is no time for this!  It is only nine months left!


[ooc: Just to clarify, North can only be seen if you believe in him.  If a non-believer is in the lobby all they would see is an unexplainable puff of soot. His comments can be read on the journals if your character doesn't believe.]

You have got to be kidding me!

[rightjollyoldelf]

Why do you make no sense? There are no goats here.

[no_ghost]

I don't think it's me not making sense here, Bunky. There's no goats, but you see elves? ... Right!

[rightjollyoldelf]

Not right now. Elves are still at Pole.

[no_ghost]

Making gifts for all the good little boys and girls?

[rightjollyoldelf]

Exactly! Though elves do not make gifts. Yetis in charge.

[no_ghost]

Yetis? As in the Abominable Snowman? Seriously? Bunky, I think someone spiked your eggnog!

[rightjollyoldelf]

What is wrong with yeti? Are excellent toymakers and guards.

[no_ghost]

Guards I can see, but everyone knows that it's the elves who make the toys!

[rightjollyoldelf]

Hah! We only let them believe that. Make elves very happy.

[no_ghost]

... [Peter is stunned into silence]

[rightjollyoldelf]

But is secret! Do not tell elves. Unhappy elves is something no on enjoys.

[no_ghost]

Bunky, let me give you my card. I'm a licensed psychologist. You can be the cornerstone to my practice!

[rightjollyoldelf]

Is not necessary. Psychologist is not needed.

[no_ghost]

I think that's a matter of perception!

[rightjollyoldelf]

No, is not matter of deception. Is not needed.

[no_ghost]

Next thing your going to tell me is that the Frosty the Snowman and Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer are real too!

[rightjollyoldelf]

Why would they not be? Rudolph is excellent lead reindeer. But is on vacation right now.

[no_ghost]

Reindeers get vacation?! [Peter stops his surprise short.] Nope, sorry bunky, I ain't buying it.

[rightjollyoldelf]

Why not?

Am not surprised. You are adult, yes? It is children who believe.
