( VIDEO / ACTION. ) | DEC.4TH | PEOPLE WHO SAY SANTA DOESN'T EXIST ACTUALLY WANT TO BELIEVE IN HIM

[naturallywavy]

<sub>[ For those of you who may have spoted Gintoki at the charity event, they might recognize a handmade booth on the feed. Only.. it's been slightly altered. Instead of KISSING BOOTH and etc, it's been painted over with something that might be more offensive.. depending on who you are. The booth reads:

COME MEET SATAN CLAUS
15🌑️ FOR PHOTO
30🌑️ FOR WISH LIST

To boot, he's in some festive attire and looks like the most lethargic Santa Claus ever. ]</sub>

Yo, yo, yo.

_{[ isn't it.. ho ho ho.. ]}

It's that time of year and I'm open for business. Come pay me a visit for a small fee. I know what it's like to want something so badly and not get it— it's like seeing Fri*za's final form and being awfully disappointed, so don't let that happen to you.
_{[ it's not very small fee at all.. he's really awful at being in character.]}

Fill out your wish list.
You never know. If you've been good, you might just get what you want. I'm a busy man, so hurry it up, morons.

_{[ He turns his location on, and for those who actually meet him, here's a wish list to fill out. He'll be ready to transfer currency before you take a sheet: ]}

HAVE YOU BEEN GOOD THIS YEAR? ANSWER YES OR NO:
NO, SERIOUSLY. HAVE YOU BEEN GOOD AT ALL OR JUST A PAIN IN THE ASS?:
WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR THE HOLIDAY? KEEP IT CHEAP:
NAME SOMEONE SPECIAL TO SPREAD HOLIDAY CHEER TOWARDS, SOMEONE WHO NEEDS IT:
YOU'VE HEARD OF ELF ON THE SHELF, BUT HAVE YOU HEARD OF..?:

Isn't that just you? Mr. Gin ...

Do you work for the mall or something now?

[naturallywavy]

It's not Mr. Gin, it's Sakata-claus. Yo, yo, yo.

_{[ Holy shit. That sounded familar for some reason but Gintoki isn't even going to venture why. ]}

I'm an entrepreneur. I wouldn't stoop as low as to working for a capitalist cesspool known as a mall.
... But around this time of year, I'm the real deal, the jolly guy in red.

Believe it.

_{[ Josuke just got dattebayo'd. ]}

[shadowonthe]

I'm afraid I'm terribly confused, from outfit to exactly what's being exchanged here.


But I'm interested.

[ Heeeee would be. ]

[naturallywavy]

Are you? Do confusing things typically interest you? Hey, that can be dangerous, you know. I'm sorry.

_{[ why is he.. apologizing.. ]}

What is it you're interested in the most? Start from the top.

[video; un: oniichan]

[immature]

If we visit you, are we guaranteed a gift?

[naturallywavy]

_{[ Oh, it's Osomatsu-kun again. ]}

I mean, if you've been good, then yeah.
Isn't that what Satan does?
Ah, sorry, Santa.

is this LITERALLY the same kissing booth

also is the "satan" thing intentional? because i'm pretty sure i can sue

[naturallywavy]

oh

welcome back

you sue me and i'll sue you for suing
how about that

[ringlette]

I believe you have spelt "Santa" wrong! [ Priorities! ]

Besides that, I am overjoyed to see someone already getting into the Christmas spirit! I do believe there are people who are in need of presents more than me, so I will not participate, but I can advertise you around in my cafe and among my close circle of friends.

[ She's got many... many fans in Prisma... ]

1/2

[naturallywavy]

_{[ A client! Well, maybe a client! She sounds like a business owner, so charm her and reel her in!
Anyway, he ignores the first thing she's pointed out because he doesn't care. ]}

Ah-haa, well. What better way to advertise than to book a meet & greet at your cafe, right? Maybe a candlelight dinner?

[naturallywavy]

_{[ Crap, don't try to charm her that much!! ]}

Aaa-haa, I mean.
A meet and greet includes candles. For the atmosphere.
And I demand a dinner for compensation.

_{[ Now you're sounding too demanding! Get a grip, Gin-san! ]}

[bought]

I've filled out your form, Mr. Satan.

HAVE YOU BEEN GOOD THIS YEAR? ANSWER YES OR NO: I think so.
NO, SERIOUSLY. HAVE YOU BEEN GOOD AT ALL OR JUST A PAIN IN THE ASS?: I've been good!
WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR THE HOLIDAY? KEEP IT CHEAP: I'd like Master Naofumi to make some good sales. That's not really a material wish, I hope that's okay.
NAME SOMEONE SPECIAL TO SPREAD HOLIDAY CHEER TOWARDS, SOMEONE WHO NEEDS IT: Master Naofumi.
YOU'VE HEARD OF ELF ON THE SHELF, BUT HAVE YOU HEARD OF..?: I haven't heard of any elves on shelves.

[naturallywavy]

_{[ Don't mind him, he looks surprised someone actually come through, but he holds out his device to have currency transferred to him. ]}

Easy.
Pay up, first.

Then I'll look at it.

[bratworth]

There is a spelling error on your sign.

( Blunt and to the point. )

[naturallywavy]

Ah, what is this.. some kind of disgusting stain on my screen. Maybe I should try and wipe it off.

_{[ scrub scrub.. ]}

Nope. Still there. It looks like... something really pretentious.

_{[ I'm sorry he's like this. ]}

[mingyues]

That outfit is...
very red. Pardon me for asking but is this holiday business related to what exactly? Your marriage?

[naturallywavy]

_{[ marriage........ what. ]}

I've been loyal and faithful to my wife, Bulma Claus, for some time now.
Thousands of years. 'Cause I'm magic.

Do you seriously not know what Christmas is?

[angelshot]

satan claus huh
thats like one step below a mall santa so sounds like a pretty good fit for you

[naturallywavy]

blondie-san... naughty list
qualifications weren't met for you to be on the good list this year

reason being
not busty enough

_{[ Aaaaand they're back at it again.
also why does he sound so serious about this? ]}

[Video]

[sheisthewind]

I'm not convinced of your ability to grant wishes.

checked your permissions but lmk if anything i do isn't okay!

[naturallywavy]

_{[ Wow, she's certainly a blast from the past. Not the Kagura he would really like to see, but still. By now, he's pretty desensitized to seeing characters he recognizes, so he'll act natural. ]}

Wanna tell me why you think that?

[offshoots]

Satan, huh? It's about time someone used the right name.

[naturallywavy]

thanks

interested in making a wish?

video

[tactically]

Putting aside the obviously dubious nature of your booth, isn't it a bit odd for Santa to be asking for money?

[Actually... truthfully, it's not like he really knows that much about Christmas. He hasn't experienced it himself, and his knowledge of things isn't as thorough as it could be, given the fragile state of the world at the moment. So while he looks and sounds skeptical, he's actually kind of curious about what's going on here, too.]

[naturallywavy]

As if someone with straight golden hair would know anything about Santa-san.

_{[ wait what... ]}

It's not weird at all. You ever throw money in a fountain and make a wish? Yeah, it's like that, buddy.

text | un: kishibe

[penpoint]

Ah, our first knock-off Santa Claus. How long will you be out there?

[naturallywavy]

_{[ Kishibe. Why does that name look familiar? ]}

however long it takes
i don’t sleep
you know
seeing people when they’re sleeping
knowing when they’re awake

etc

[Ace honestly needed a little amusement today. This is amazing. He wonders if anyone's actually been lured in by this stunt. It's hardly the most believable attempt at a get rich quick scheme he's come across. Satan Claus here isn't fooling Ace with his wish list nonsense.

Not that Ace wouldn't fork over the currency without fuss if Luffy was even vaguely interested in something like this. But that's another issue.]

Has anyone actually fallen for this, Satan?
