Fourth Shooting Star - voice;

Hey, there's something I've been wondering for a while now. Some people here use words like "kun" and uh... "san" at the end of people's names, but what does it mean? Is it like saying mister or miss? It's something I never heard before I came here, not even in other worlds.

[Hmm. There's something else he's curious about, too. Prior to the draft, people were talking about Christmas, so...]

By the way, isn't Christmas coming up pretty soon? I wonder if Santa's gonna make it here. If he can travel to all the worlds in one night, then I'm sure it's possible, but what if the barrier gets in the way? Has he ever been here before?

Sure, Ventus. And I'm the king of Radiant Garden.

Got any other made-up stories taking up space in that tiny head of yours? I'll be sure to beat them out of you next time.

I've seen talking mice, fairies, and aliens. Compared to them, is something like Santa really that impossible?

[voice]

[vanityunbcoming.livejournal.com]

You tell me. Why would one old guy visit every kid's home in every world one day of the year, distributing presents, and get no personal gain from it what-so-ever?

[voice]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Why does he have to gain anything from it? Maybe he just likes to make people happy. Besides, Christmas is about giving, not getting.

[voice]

[vanityunbcoming.livejournal.com]

Yet, you're the one who gets all the presents. Awfully convenient, huh?

[voice]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Even if I didn't get any presents, I wouldn't be sad. They're nice to have, but I could still have a good Christmas just by being with my friends.

[A beat.]

I bet you're just mad because Santa gives you coal.

If Santa actually existed, then maybe.

[voice]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Just admit it. You've probably got a big pile of coal by now!

[voice]

[vanityunbcoming.livejournal.com]

Enough to set your house on fire, if I wanted to.

[voice]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Hey! Why would you do something like that?

[voice]

[vanityunbcoming.livejournal.com]

Because I felt like it.

By the way, how's your 'pet rabbit' these days?

[voice]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

[...ouch.]

Actually, I haven't seen him for a while. Not since the experiment ended.

[voice]

[vanityunbcoming.livejournal.com]

That's too bad. I'm sure he made it out alright, though.

[voice]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

I just wonder if he was actually a rabbit. I don't think it's normal for them to have yellow eyes.

[voice]

[vanityunbcoming.livejournal.com]

Hard to tell, considering the experiments.

[voice]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It feels like just about anything could happen.

[voice]

[vanityunbcoming.livejournal.com]

Anything can in a place like this.

[voice]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

It's kinda crazy when you think about it. I bet in a place like this, it really could rain cats and dogs.

[voice]

[vanityunbcoming.livejournal.com]

Or people really could be living on borrowed time.

[voice]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Or pigs could fly!

[...wait. Is he really having this discussion with Vanitas?]
