2.5; initially audio

[binarysky]

So I have kind of a problem. Well, maybe not a big problem...worse things have happened.

[His voice sounds louder and then quieter as he speaks, the result of pacing across the room as his communicator sits on the desk.]

Something happened to me and it changed a few things about me. And now I'm not sure what to do.

[The audio feed abruptly switches to video, but a shadow obscures the camera for a moment until the cat's paw (for that is what the shadow is) pulls away to reveal a little gray kitten, looking intently into the camera.

It seems that Roxas has been turned into a cat! Could some foul magic have done this? Another curse?]

Riku! Get off of that!

[...or not. He sweeps the kitten away and picks up the communicator, looking exasperated.]

I told you, buttons aren't toys...uh, anyway. My problem is I don't know much about Christmas. This thing that happened made me think I'd celebrated it before, but I haven't. I know everyone here is from a lot of different places, and it's not a big deal to all of you, but I want to get it right.

What are the most important parts of it? [He's going to take notes.]

I just want to make sure it's a good Christmas for my friend.

Theennnn it's snow, cake and presents, yeah! And a tree and a story, I guess.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

I can get a cake and presents...maybe I could try a blizzard spell for snow. I don't know any stories, though.

[aettir.livejournal.com]

—whoa, there's a spell for that? You know a spell for that? You're an alien, stick to science!

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

It's pretty basic magic where I'm from.

[aettir.livejournal.com]

So—you could get the weather to do whatever you want? Whenever?

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

Huh? No way. That sounds crazy.

[aettir.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, that's crazy.

[aettir.livejournal.com]

You don't have to do magic for that, it's just one of those things! The story's something else anyway—you heard of Santa?

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. He lives in Christmas Town.

[aettir.livejournal.com]

Something like that! You're supposed to send a letter to him so's he knows what addresses to go to at midnight.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

You think he'll come here if people write to him? He could get stuck like everyone else.

[ What, no, he doesn't want to explain this part! Come on. ]

[aettir.livejournal.com]

Hey, uh—you remember what I just said about the story, right...?

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

Yeah...

[aettir.livejournal.com]

Thaaaat's kinda all it is.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

No, Santa's a real person. Sora met him. I was...there. Kind of.

[aettir.livejournal.com]

Had a lot of elves and toys, right? Did you get a picture?

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

Yeah. And no. I wasn't...really in control at the time.
