Character: The Master (Doctor Who)
Mun: Ans
Plot specific: N/A

Ah, Christmas. A time for all mankind to huddle together to light candles against the coming darkness, pa rum pa pum pum. A time for feasting and triumph. A time when wishes really do come true.

So what will it be this year, do you think? Naughty or nice?

[immortalvino]

That's a good question, isn't it?

I hope you've been nice. Have you?

[syncopath]

Santa?

Is it really you?

[immortalvino]

You know, I could be! Never thought about it that way, but I guess I'm giving you all the greatest gift you could ever wish for.

So with that in mind, my question's even more important. Have you been naughty or nice?

[syncopath]

Aren't you supposed to have a little list for that?

[immortalvino]

I guess I am, but I think I'll just see how things go.
Frankly, I don't have the time to keep track of a list like that.

[syncopath]

So you plan to keep all of it straight in your head? That's a pity.

[immortalvino]

Well, that's the best way, isn't it?

[bringsthefrost]

Dunno about you but I'm always on the naughty list.

[syncopath]

How proud you must be.

[bringsthefrost]

Being nice gets boring after a while.

[syncopath]

And do you get bored often?

[bringsthefrost]

I'll give you three guesses who turned the third floor hallway into an ice skating rink last week.

[syncopath]

Mildly impressive.

[bringsthefrost]

Mildly? Filch spent days mopping that up.

[syncopath]

Some people actually enjoy ice skating.

[bringsthefrost]

What's the harm in enjoying yourself?

[syncopath]

Oh, I never said anything was wrong with that.

[ihaveanappforthat]

You forgot that it's a time to be merry! Don't be a Scrooge.

My, my, it would be a shame if you got a lump of coal.

[syncopath]

It'd be tacky if we both got the same present, don't you think?

[ihaveanappforthat]

I've been a good boy this year so we couldn't possibly. Right on Santa's Nice List, I am.

[syncopath]

Sixth year and still believes in Santy Claus, tut tut.

[ihaveanappforthat]

Yes, of course I do. A jolly obese man that travels the world via reindeer and a sleigh to hop down chimneys and defeat even the most advanced security systems to deliver toys made in the North Pole to little girls and boys?

Why wouldn't I? It seems rather legit.

[syncopath]

You doth protest too much, cousin.

Are you sure you don't stay up all night waiting for the sound of tiny hooves?

[ihaveanappforthat]

I believe I'd be aware if I did.

Besides, I don't go back home for the holidays and hearing hooves here would be impossible. Are you sure you're not the one too busy listening for them? If you hadn't noticed your own cousin stays at Hogwarts for the holidays, I think I'm a bit disappointed in your observational skills.

[Someone spends them here, with his boo.]

[3potionproblem]

That really depends on what side of the line one stands.

[syncopath]

You do realize lines can be stepped over whenever one wants.

They can be redrawn, too.

[3potionproblem]

I know. I was speaking more in terms of the one judging.

[syncopath]

Oh. Oh, that's good. 5 points for Ravenclaw!

[3potionproblem]

As if points matter to either of us.

[marshall_lee]

Any specific darkness coming in that we should be wary of?

[syncopath]

Peeking at presents is definitely naughty behavior.

[marshall_lee]

Good thing I don't have that temptation going for me since I'm not expecting anyone to get me anything.

[syncopath]

Really? Well, then. You may be surprised, yet.

[marshall_lee]

It's hard to surprise me but hey, that could be fun.
