O Tidings Of Comfort And Joy
Who: Cloud and OPEN
What: Cloud has taken on the Santa Claus Job and is doing his part to spread Christmas Cheer. Side effects of the Job are likely.
When: Throughout the month leading up to the 25. A separate log may or may not be used for the Starlight Celebration itself, we'll see when we get there.
Where: Aqures Ixen, Trano Golsaucia, Christmas Village
Warnings: Personality changes
Given how things have gone for Cloud in the past with some of the special seasonal Jobs, he was a little reluctant to use this one. Mako didn't seem that impressed with it either but this time of year always made him a little grumpy. It was too cold. But after thinking it over Cloud's eyes went back to the letter the moogles sent asking for help, not to mention those sent by the other Heroes getting into the spirit of the season as well.
And so Cloud donned the job before penning his responses, some of which started to show a bit more cheer for the season that he'd normally give. After telling everyone he was planning to help, it was time to put it into action. He asked for the month off from the Chocobo Ranch owner who wasn't thrilled with him taking a break, but this was for a better cause than being a Hero of Light after all.
And so Cloud began his Christmas adventure~
Santa is Coming to Town~
Trano Golsaucia was into the spirit for the sake of the children, so armed with the job Cloud had taken up one of the jobs waiting on lines of kids coming to tell him their Christmas wishes. At first he thought it would be tiring but he found he loved it. Every day of talking with the kids he found himself even more energized than when he started.
As the month went on Cloud also made sure to do some similar stops in Aqures Ixen and of course the Christmas Village itself. Another odd thing that happened as the month went on is that he found his belt getting tighter, no longer needing the pillow after two weeks of this. By this point it also completely slipped his mind that the beard the Job gave him hadn't been taken off in a while and was in fact getting thicker as well.
But he was having fun, and he was happy to see some of his fellow Heroes working with him or even waiting on line to tell him their own wishes.
Letters to Santa
After about two weeks of using the job, Cloud got a wonderful idea. They were encouraging children to send letters to Santa at the village, but wouldn't it be even better if someone was answering them? Nothing huge, just thanking them and encouraging them to be nice children. He couldn't get to all of them of course, but it seemed like a nice thing to do.
He stayed up late into the night at his home in Aqures Ixen or whatever inn room he was using elsewhere, writing replies while eating cookies and cakes. He'd been eating a lot of them lately and he had to push his chair back to make room for his belly.
Here Comes Santa Claus (Wildcard)
When Cloud wasn't busy writing letters or listening to kids he made a point of being out in public, walking around and waving to people or riding around in one of the sleighs that the Christmas Village supplied, pulled by two chocobos decked out in seasonal Starlight barding. He was happy to talk to anyone who wanted to come up and speak to Santa.
However as much as he was getting into this, he felt good about this Job. He knew he was himself and doing this for the sake of the children. He never once slipped the line into thinking he was Santa himself though more and more he thought he might like to be. It just felt good to be giving back to this world after all the problems it was seeing thanks in part to the Heroes.
