x - 0013 [Christmas Carol]

Dear Santa,
I want Christmas to pass without any crazy and/or embittered ghosts trying to use pop-psychology crap to force my partner and I into a festive murder-suicide pact. That would definitely help. I mean, on one hand it was awesome, because
there were definitely ghosts there and I'm not the only one who saw them, but on the other hand, she shot me.

I want sunflower seeds. That's an easy one.

I want to know the truth. About everything.

I want Scully to show up here, because after the City she'd never think
I was crazy again.

I want my action figure to be cooler next time. Maybe laser eyes? I think laser eyes would be pretty awesome.

I want... well, okay, aside from the ghosts-murder-suicide thing, I'd like this Christmas to be like last Christmas.


I'd normally call it an exercise in futility to write a letter to Santa, but who knows? The fat man in the red suit wouldn't be a huge surprise here. I don't know. I was never the sort to leave milk and cookies out as a kid, and our parents weren't the sort to convince us that we ought to. And... well.

Here's a request that doesn't require magic reindeer or obese men, which might be for the best since we don't have a chimney, anyway: Who can tell me something about this City's mysterious clock, other than the fact that the ticking is a major pain in the ass? Why's it here? What does it do? I'm curious.

He's a creepy, stalker, cookie obsessed asshole.

Yeah, Santa. Do you want a baseball bat?

Mulder, work with me here.

Do you want a fat Fable with no invitation into your home bringing you gifts that might possibly cause you to do something stupidly dangerous against the advice of your best friend?

I'll bring you a baseball bat this week.

It's fully and entirely creepy.

He didn't show his face last year.

Should I throw in a flamethrower, too?

I don't understand the clock, either. It's frustrating--it's the centerpiece of the town, it must have some sort of history.

I do know that apparently there's some superstition it's counting down to the end of the world, but that isn't very helpful.

I'd ordinarily assume this one, if the idea is perpetuated by the locals, but with the nature of this place, it could probably be anywhere.

Yes. The Carousel and the curses, too. I've been intending to go down there and have a look, if just for curiosity's sake, but I doubt I'd find anything new.

[identity profile] unhexed.livejournal.com 2008-12-04 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
That's true.

If you find out anything new, would you mind sharing?

Doesn't milk go bad if you leave it out?

[identity profile] prototipo.livejournal.com 2008-12-05 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
I think I will.
