[ 3 ] [Audio - text]

[getoutclaus]

It's your friendly neighbourhood Santa Claus here, guys.

I just wanted to know if anyone wanted to form a team for dealing with any situations that might pop up - I heard there was an attack a while ago on a lab, right? If anybody wanted to, I dunno, prearrange to join up and fight evil and all of that glorious shit in the name of justice.

I already have two team members, so that makes a total of three of us, and I myself am a support Persona user and I've got some real expeirnece in that field.

[Santa rolls a few thoughts about in his head before he continues.

He wonders if Junpei and Snake will be aware that they're already being counted as his teammates, but surely they wont have a problem with that, right?]

All I ask of you is that you give me a few piece of information, yeah? Don't worry 'cause it's nothing intrustive and you can filter, lock, encrypt or encode the fucking shit out of it so long as you tell me at least how to read it.

I'll include the information I need at the end of the post, alright?

[And the audio feed ends there.]

I guess so, but a waste of time is a waste of time no matter what you do with it.

[God dammit Snake this is why nobody went looking for you when you died because of annoying shit like this! Don't pretend to be bothered if you weren't oh my God.]

How're you settling in to a new place, anyway?

[epicbraille]

[ Woah, is Santa showing some concern? Alert the media. Fake concern or not, Snake can't help but smile. ]

Well enough, well enough. I've spent enough time in my apartment that I won't walk into any tables any time soon.

[ He has been going for a walk at least once a day, a little bit further each time, in order to get a feel for the city. ]

The other day I took a trip to the library, as it happens.

[getoutclaus]

I'll take your table off your hands if you want, then you don't have to worry about it.

[Blink blink blink blink...]

This place has Braille books?

[epicbraille]

[ Hand. ]

It does. I was able to pick up a rather hefty book on Egyptian mythology, as it happens.

[ Just a bit of.

Just a bit of...

Light reading! ]

[getoutclaus]

So I guess you get blind demons and shit too, huh? That's interesting.

But why the book on the Egyptians?

[epicbraille]

Demons and blindness aren't mutually exclusive. Shabriri is a demon from Hebrew mythology who blinded those who drank uncovered water. Probably a story made up to stop people doing just that, when you stop and think.

[ The wonderful world of information you didn't ask for, with charming host Snake. ]

I got a book on Egyptian mythology because I'd like to know a little more about my Persona before I have to use it.

[ He laughs a little. ]

I'm sure they'd have 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, if you'd like to do the same.

[getoutclaus]

Ha ha ha you sleigh me.

[Somewhere out there Junpei is jelly as fuck.]

Bu wait; why the fuck would they want to stop people drinking uncovered water? That doesn't even make any sense!

[epicbraille]

[ Snake could launch into a tl;dr rant about the Talmud Bavli and how it warns against drinking uncovered water in case of snake poison followed by death, and about the cultural connections between the Talmud and Shabriri...but instead he'll cut it short and just go with: ]

Because it could be dirty.

[ Duh. ]

[getoutclaus]

Oh... I guess that makes sense.

[He just assumed it would be some kind of sinister reason.]

People did get blinded from drinking dirty water though, didn't they? I mean along with the other stuff that could happen to them.

[epicbraille]

Drinking dirty water is bad for your health, Santa. Don't do anything rash.

[getoutclaus]

What?! I'm not gonna drink dirty water when I've got perfectly clean water in my own room!

[And your room, and Junpei's room probably. Maybe.]

I was just wondering if that's why they said a demon would blind them and people actually believed it or not!

[epicbraille]

It was a different time. People believed all sorts of things back then.

[ People still believe all sorts of things, though, so maybe days gone by isn't a perfect explanation. ]

How about we find a puddle and you take a sip? If a demon shows up to blind you then we'll know for sure.

[getoutclaus]

How about we just ask one of the head honchos of the demons if that's something that they do?

[Which brings an idea to his noodle.]

Maybe we should keep a list of this shit, starting with finding out more about your Persona and then finding a puddle demon.

[epicbraille]

[ Damn it Santa, Snake was just kidding around. Why are they trying to cobble together some kind of compendium of irrelevant knowledge all of a sudden?

Aside from gathering fodder with which to bore Junpei. ]

I'll do the reading while you make the list. Do be sure and check it twice.

[getoutclaus]

Yes dear, don't worry.

[Because it feels good to waste time or something? Right Snake? Right?]

Anything else you want to take care of while we're thinking about this?

[epicbraille]

Halloween is coming up. Do you have a costume?

[ What do you know about tangents? ]

[getoutclaus]

Of course I don't have a costume because I'm not five.

[epicbraille]

[ Snake says nothing about a possible Zero costume Santa might have worn. But he thinks about it. ]

Aren't you going to attend the Halloween masquerade?

[getoutclaus]

[Ha ha good one. He would have had no comeback for that one.]

I dunno, I might.

Are you going to check it out?

[epicbraille]

Maybe. I'd have to pick out a costume, which I suppose goes well with my urgent need to buy new clothes.

[getoutclaus]

Robe just not cutting it for you anymore?

[epicbraille]

It's a little breezy.

[getoutclaus]

Sorry about that, but at least you still have your dignity.

[epicbraille]

Indeed. Thank you for leaving me with that much.

[getoutclaus]

Not a problem, thanks for being such a good sport about the whole thing.

[Cough]

Did Clover help you shop for clothes or did you do it all on your lonesome back home?
