rightjollyoldelf [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.]
