[TEXT] [LOCKED TO NEW HIRES ONLY]

[bringinghopewithme]

[After doing everything he can to verify he's locked this correctly, i.e. asking Stacia to check if he did it right, Bunny presses forth with testing Lonestar's claims.]

Well I haven't been interrogated or tortured any more than usual. Do we trust this thing or not?

[EDITED The next day comes an additional video message -]

I realized two things. Some of you rightly guessed I lied about stealing keys from Jorgmund. Some of you pointed out Jorgmund might somehow be smart enough not to take obvious bait. Well -

[He holds up one paw, and twirls a keyring around one digit.]

It's not a lie anymore.

It got me into a closet and now we have - [He re-angles the camera to show: a metal hammer, multi-bit screwdrivers with a wide range of interchangeable bits, an adjustable wrench, a tiny screwdriver set for delicate work, and a small soldering iron.]

Anyone thinks they can do something useful with any of this, come see me. I'm keeping them hidden and I'm not telling any of you where until I know for sure who talks too much and who doesn't.

Oh, Santa's real. He sometimes asks some superhero group or other with help delivering toys for that year.

Apparently, my world missed out.

I've beaten up a lot of robbers dressed like Santa though.

Like every Christmas, it's a thing for some reason. They decide robbing a bank needs to be festive.

You'd think they'd at least pick up a little class about it. But no, fake beard, pillow belly, and right to the liquor store.

I guess Easter Bunny costumes are less popular due to the 'breathing in a faux-fur helmet' issue. And peripheral vision.

[stickypete]

Always with a pillow, usually a really bad fake beard hanging down to their neck.

Why can't bank robbers learn to have some class? Better costumes, offering tellers a hot towel after making them hand over the money.

Maybe a mint left on the floor of the empty bank vault.

He exists in mine, too. Haven't done the toy delivery thing, but a friend of mine knew him well enough to invite him to my old team's Christmas party, since they both work a lot that night for somewhat different reasons.

Can confirm the existence of Santa in a non-whimsy world. Also: Krampus. They're both Fae.
