By the clock.

[they weren't gayly hanging out in the hot springs unlike some people]

[fleshedout]

[PUTS HANDS TOGETHER IN FRONT OF FACE IN 🙏 GESTURE]

[SIGHS]

Clarte, please explain. From the beginning. What happened?

[georeject]

Hold on, I should report to Vin my findings...

[give them a sec as they use their phone.]

Anyway, not much, really.

[fleshedout]

[she feels like she's losing her MIND. IN A STAGE WHISPER]

Wasn't VIN THERE WITH YOU.

[georeject]

Oh, she had no idea what it was either.

[this christmas-themed result was truly incomprehensible to these two people who don't have christmas]

[fleshedout]

...



[looks at the ceiling]

It's a jacket belonging to Santa Claus.

[georeject]

[they look at aymeric.]

I didn't know you two were from the same place...?

i'm just determined to use my shitpost icons this entire thread

[fleshedout]

...What? No? We're not?

i support you

[georeject]

... Well, he said it was for a celebration in his world, and you're saying it belongs to someone from yours...

[fleshedout]

Maybe Christmas is a thing even in other worlds? I...suppose?

[georeject]

... Hm. Well, this has been an interesting discovery.

[texts vin some more]

[fleshedout]

...

Did anything else happen besides the. Jacket.

[georeject]

Red and white striped hands appeared on the clock and span rapidly for a bit?

[fleshedout]

And then the jacket appeared?

[disestablishment]

Mayhap shedding light on "Santa" would help?

[fleshedout]

He's a saint, but in the holiday, people see him as a man who delivers gifts to children all over the world on a special day.

[The gist of it.]

[georeject]

Ah, then would you know the meaning behind the "hos", Hot Pants?

[yeah they're saying it like hoes]

1/2

[fleshedout]

[yeah clarte she knows the hoes. she's swarming in hoes. she gets more hoes than you can even imagine before breakfast and then she keeps getting hoes 24/7 to the point where it makes itsuki cries because he's getting negative amount of hoes she's getting, of COURSE she knows the meaning of hoes]

2/2

[fleshedout]

...It's what he says.

"Ho ho ho". That's what. Santa says.

[georeject]

[they nod.]

I see. You really are a fountain of knowledge. Thank you, Hot Pants.

[fleshedout]

...You're welcome.

[please get the years of her life back from this conversation]

Is that what you heard? The "hos"?

[disestablishment]

I see. What a quaint tale.

[ Wait a minute— ]

... This aligns with Starlight Celebration, but he's known as Saint of Nymeia for he carries the wishes for presents from children to Nymeia herself.

[fleshedout]

...Huh.

[She...looks pensive?]

Is that tied to a religion, or is it just its own thing?

[disestablishment]

If my memory serves me well, the holiday originated from the early days of the Dragonsong War.

[ OOCly, Dragonsong starts playing. ]

Thousands upon thousands of children were left orphaned, forcing them to endure the Coerthas cold. However, each night, a number of Ishgardian Knights offered them shelter in their barracks, in spite of such kindness being forbidden by the knights' charter. The knights would hide the children underneath their uniform—red jackets.

As time passed and the war raged on, this kind act would be forgotten... Until a few orphans saved by the knights seek to rekindle the warmth they received. On the coldest nights of each year, they paid them tribute by donning familiar scarlet dress and bringing gifts to children of the realm.

With this, they shared the happiness they received that one starlit night years ago.

[ that isn't what she asked ]

[fleshedout]

That's a nice story, actually.
