Who: North Dakota and you!!
Where: Goldenrod Department Store
When: 2-6pm in November, Thurs-Sat, and 2-8pm Thurs-Sat December 1-24
Summary: North has gotten a job as a Department Store Santa, which in poke-world means a fair share of actual children and Poke-children of all shapes and a fair range of sizes (luckily he is a very large Santa).
Rating: G, for the kiddies
Log:

It turns out that prosthetic beards are very scratchy, especially when they have to be fire-resistant in case somebody plops a Charmander in his lap. In fact, he muses, his Santa suit is starting to feel more like armor than his actual armor did. One of the Delibird helpers is holding onto a water bottle for him, which he takes appreciatively when the bird offers it, repaying its kindness with a scritch to the feathers with one of his gloved hands.

Honestly, being fallen asleep on is not the worst thing that's happened to North today, nor is this the first time that he's been fallen asleep on. He just keeps his hold on Chiaki so that she doesn't slide off of his lap, but lets her sleep.

Telepathic voices will never stop startling him, but he's stopped reacting a while ago.

"Ahh, a spinny top, hm? Hmm hm hm. A good toy, very sturdy. Santa will just have to see what he can do about that. But you have to be good, and behave for your trainer."

Kaze seems pleased by Santa North's answer, nodding his head quickly. Chihiro steps a little closer and puts a hand on Chiaki's head, who is- at this point- completely knocked out.

"They're both very good Pokemon. I don't think I ever have to worry about trouble out of them."

"Ho ho ho!" Santa North laughs with magnanimous jollity, although not so much that he startles the sleeping Chiaki. "Then of course I should hope to see both your names on my Nice List!"

"Mhm! And I'm sure these two hop so as well...right?" He asks the Abra pair. Kaze responds, at least, by leaning over to hug Santa North's torso. He seems a little too shy by all of the sudden praise to say anything else, but the movement of her fellow Abra causes Chiaki to stir.

...and once she's realized she missed something, she just slowly nods a little in agreement to whatever it was that was said.
