Welcome to Gaia! ::

A small hybrid child clung to his ogre father's ripped jeans, trying not to get lost in the sea of people that surrounded them. His blue skinned father had the look of a man who hadn't slept in weeks, his hair disheveled and his jacket ratty and his face still stubbled from the lack of shaving. Christmas has hard for both Coffee Shop Owners and Creatures of the Fae. Andy, was, unfortunately, both. Still, despite the lack of sleep and sensory overload that comes with the Mall, Andy was determined to get his son a picture with Santa.

"Next!" Called the pock-marked teenager in the elf costume. Soon the hybrid child and the Ogre were front of the line, and Andy got a good look at the poor sap playing Santa. He seemed just as perky as any one else would be in his position, and seemed pretty young for the part...Oh, yes, the fact that he was green was pretty eyebrow raising as well. However, to the young Churchill, this was the coolest thing ever.

"H-Hello, Santa." The gluttony boy said to the green skinned Santa as he sat on his knee.

"ILLLLLY! ILY! ILY! ILY! SANTAAA!" Seth squealed, flailing his hands and pointing excitedly at the set-up within the heart of the mall from his sister’s shoulders. For once in his young life, the sloth spawn was practically bouncing off the walls at the very sight of the popular red-suited man and snow scene, completely the opposite of his usual demeanor. Thankfully his tail was wrapped firmly around Ilyrosa’s middle and his other hand gripping hers so as to not fall to the floor and be stepped on. A good thing she was so tall, it made her shoulders a perfect perch to see over everyone.

“Seth, I can see that. No need to make me go deaf, although I do suppose it’s my fault for letting you eat so many sweets,” Ily replied coolly, not bothering to snap at him for simply being excited at meeting a guy in a costume. As they neared, several familiar sights came into view for the older wrath spawn, specifically the massive ogre and younger wrath-blooded spawn. “Hm, looks like we’re not the only ones here. Isn’t that-“

“Church is here! Ily-,“ Ily laughed, placing a hand across her brother’s mouth. “Seth, hush. You can say hi to him when he’s done talking with Santa. No need to make me go deaf,” she giggled and was, for once, glad Seth’s shouting voice was closer to the volume of what people normally spoke at. At least he hadn’t requested to walk yet, since his height and naga form was perfect for being accidentally stepped on. “And give me that candy cane; you don’t need any more sugar.”

"Um...Ch-Churchill." the gluttony boy said, still in shock and awe at the fact he was this close to Santa. He was just as amazing as he thought he would be!...Though Church had no idea that Santa was green and looked younger than his dad.

"Um...Well, I'd really like a new coloring book if that wouldn't be too much of a problem...A-Also my Dad really needs a new espresso machine since his other one is a lot of bad words I'm not allowed to use. Please?" Church asked. Churchill was wondering if he should offer some thing in return, since Santa did a lot.

Was this kid serious? No kid was that good. Dane thought as Churchill told him all he wanted was a coloring book and something for his dad.
"Ho ho ho, I'm sure I can bring you and your daddy what you want for Christmas, is that all that you want Churchill?" The green Santa said ruffling the boys hair a grabbing a candy cane out of his sack next to his chair for him.

Churchill nodded shyly, beaming. He of course wouldn't mind if Santa brought him another puzzle or two, but he really wanted another coloring book more than any thing. He couldn't believe that Santa ruffled his hair! Then gave him a candy cane! This was the best Christmas ever!

Ilyrosa's height didn't bother him so much as all of her colors. They reminded him of his sister, and that instantly brought down her coolness levels. Roman instinctively stepped back when Seth was placed on the ground. He was clingy. Roman didn't do clingy.

"Huh?" He looked back up at Ily. "Yeah, and I think it's my turn." He gave her a curt wave before walking up to Santa. When one of the elves reached for him to put him on Santa's lap, Roman growled and the elf was more than happy to scamper away once the deed was done.

In the meantime, Charlotte turned her attention to Seth. She bent down to his level, arms wrapping around her knees. "Well aren't you just precious. I like your tail. It's very cool."
