_{[ 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. ]}

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..?:

Talk about people seeing red on your wedding day.
_{[ But okay, cool. Sort of like how white is associated with weddings. ]}

Dunno about this place, but it was a pretty big deal back home.
Red, white and green are the typical colors that people wear to be festive. You're supposed to give presents to the people you care about, eat fruitcake, drink eggnog.. and I dunno.

Find people under the mistletoe as some lame way to justify sexual harassment.

[ okay, this makes sense. he can definitely make sense of this. ]

I see. And a lot of people here are also going to be celebrating it, correct? Perhaps I should learn more about this. You have been very helpful, thank you.

It sounds rather nice. Is a lot of the food traditionally meant to be sweet? And how is mistletoe best avoided?

[ buy presents? check. stay away from mistletoe? double check. he's got this christmas thing in the works. ]

It's what I do. Spread cheer, help people out.

_{[ He sounds so.. tired saying stuff like this though, it's hardly believable.
Unless you're this guy, I guess. ]}

Surely, someone around here will end up throwing a Christmas party. You should go to that and get experience.

_{[ does he mean Christmas experience or some other kind of experience? ]}

The actual date to celebrate is the 25th.

That is very kind of you. [ ... rip xiao xingchen. ] Is there something I could do to help out? I
I find myself with a lot of free time here.

So, if I can help in any way... that would be- I would like to.

[ lmao ends up trapped beneath a mistletoe during a christmas party nbd ]

Ah? I will mark down that date. Presents are meant to be given on that date too, yes?

_{[ Why does he want to help out a person that looks so sketchy? ]}

Do you know how to pull a sled?

_{[ Stop. Don't make this a horrible experience for a stranger. ]}

Yeah. Wrap them up real nice with wrapping paper an bows. People love stuff like that.

[ he lives with a "reformed" murderer, sketchy is relative here. ]

No, but I could procure some donkeys or horses if you need them.

Wrapping paper and bows, I see. Thank you. I will be sure to use those for the gifts.

C'mon. I could easily do something like that. What's the fun in not trying?

Who you interested in shopping for?

Could you? I would not want to inconvenience you as I am certain you have a lot of requests.

There is someone here, he is not quite a friend, it is complicated but. All I know so far is that he enjoys sweets. That seems like a small thing to give for such a grand holiday.

Hey, well. Tell your not quite a friend that he has exceptional taste. Sweets isn't a small thing; it is uplifting to the soul. Sweets bring people together. Sweets could even bring universal peace if we would allow it. It's the singular glue that holds friendship together.

Never think lowly of sweets, Blindfold-san.

_{[ Gintoki really likes sweets as well. ]}

You'll be fine.
Get me some while you're at it.

I see. [ friendship level unlocked, xiao xingchen will now die for you! ] You really have put it so poetically I never would have considered that. Guess I must be very careful to pick the right sort of sweets too. Or perhaps he would not mind if I got him a bit of everything.

[ r i p ]

Of course, it is the least I can do after all your help.

All I'm saying that if I were the bastard that ended up with one of everything I'd be so touched I wouldn't even hesitate to make you my sidekick.

.. Or, you know, supporting character.. instead of just a background one at least.

_{[ look being meta gives him the ability to talk like this don't question it.. ]}

I'm a fan of strawberries and chocolate. Just saying.

[ xiao xingchen laughs, look, he has no idea but he finds gintoki funny. ]

One of everything but with a special fondness for strawberries and chocolate, I will be sure to remember that.

Hey, hey, now. You better follow through. I take all of this very seriously if you haven't noticed. No goofing around, buddy. The worst thing you could do is get my hopes high and then crush it.
