DEAR FATHER WINTER,

they say you're not really real, but if that's the case, then who are we writing this letter for?

for this year, i kinda want the latest playstation and a million dollars on my bank account. maybe give me real documentation too so i'm not an illegal immigrant anymore!

the obliquity of sending a letter whose recipient is but an illusion to cater to the dreams of the children is such an inane act to be partaking in a moment of celebration tha-

alcohol that tastes good! i want to be able to drink lots! i dont like the ones here cause they taste like ASS!

i dont know wat i want to be hones.

SINCERELY YOURS,
PRIAM CONRAD

FATHER WINTER

NORTH POLE H0H 0H0

HOENN

Dear Father Winter,

I hope this letter finds you well.

I know not the extent of your omniscience, but I would like to begin by telling you how difficult this year has been for me.

It has been a long year, a tiresome year. Some might say I have a great deal of privilege, but that is merely an Illusion. While I may have resources, all of the money in the world could not save me from the prison that is my mind. I am in constant, endless agony. A day doesn't go by where I don't regret my insistence on continuing to live.

This letter feels a bit like an Obliquity, sharing with a stranger what I dare not say to even my closest friends. However I feel like it would be best to be honest with you. I feel compelled to be honest. Every day for the past several months I have stared into the mirror and wondered--what the fuck am I doing? What am I living for? What do I WANT!? 

Everything seems so hollow, so pointless. Is this all I can attain? What a joke. If this is all I'm capable of I might as well throw myself from the top floor of my power plant. I would be just as productive.

I have Dreams of doing so, and I cry when I awaken as I realize another day waits for me. I've lost my purpose--my drive--my meaning. 

Please father winter, grant me purpose again. That is a hefty request I'm sure, but it is all I want. It is all I will ever want. A reason to be.

Or get me a gift card or something, I dunno. 

That's enough from me, I wish you the best.

Best regards, Oscar Clayton

SPOILER: Click to show

dreams, illusion, obliquity are scrabbled to the side of the letter, each underlined at least 3 times

okay, here's how it is. i promised the kiddos back home that if they write to you then i would too and i don't really want to start the new year with amara throwing totodile tears at me over video call.

so. hi.

do i get 2 prizes because i helped solve the crossword for skyler dross? i think it's only fair i get hers.

she's passed out on the couch with that cat now. y'know moments like this they both could fool a guy into thinking they're cute and sweet all cuddled up together. but then you get close and you get hissed at and scratched to remind you they're still a pain in the ass. (i'll let you guess which one i'm talking about.)

anyway i love that idiot.

sky.

not the cat.

oh yeah we're supposed to be writing what we want for xmas or something right? i think i've done kinda alright on my own this year so i guess my wish is that i just want more of this.

more of her. i want to see more. experience more. live more. discover more.

spend more time with friends like Razz Kingsman. not Martín del Mar tho, i've seen enough of him lately.

and that my family will be well. mamma finally started a new job. i hope she's happy and sticks with this one. 10th times the charm yknow.

next year i wanna spend the holidays with them. think a year is long enough to prepare sky for being under the same roof as 5 brats?

ps. you're welcome about the cookies. Zac Ramsay was the last person who ate sky's cooking (as far as i know) and i haven't seen him lately. i really hope he isn't in a medical induced coma from a rogue egg sandwich... that would be a hell of a way for a fugger to go

better make his survival my last wish, huh?

happy holidays,

angelo vestri

dreams, illusion, obliquity

You rip a Sawsbuck sticker that's holding a snow themed envelope shut, and pull out a matching themed slip of paper with small, neat handwriting. At the bottom of the letter, most immediately, you notice a doodle of a Lapras holding an oversized gift card in its mouth. Along with this comes a folded up crossword puzzle that's been lazily filled in.


Dear Father Winter,

Hi~! It's Mint! I don't think you can give me anything that I really want, unfortunately. It's nothing physical or tangible, just far off dreams. I probably should put the effort to accomplishing that myself, right?

It's hard to think of anything you could give me. But I guess maybe if you could check up on @artemis and make sure he's ok. I think we got into a fight, and well, we're not best friends anymore. If by some weird chance you can do weird, magical things just make sure he doesn't get sick. Same goes for my siblings. Especially Vitalia, she's always struggled in that way. Silvano as well! I'm not exactly sure his disposition but he's a little kid now and I want him to stay healthy. Ok, maybe I want you to send something nice to my siblings as well actually. It doesn't have to be extravagant but I think they'd all like something nice. Especially Cosima, she was always easy to please. Fiore as well. Amaretta and Alonso tried to hide it, but they always got a little soft whenever you have them something handmade. And Seraphina...well I'm not sure but you probably know her better than I do, right?


Is that too much? If it is just give me a Lapras. I've been been traveling a lot and I want to give my Wailmer a break. I've heard Lapras enjoy giving rides to people. A Lapras with a 500$ grocery store gift card. Ok, ok. I'm done. But I gave you options! Truthfully, I'm under no illusions that anything will really come of this other than a letter. That's ok though.

P.S. Your crossword puzzle is super hard. I had to look up what obliquity meant. It took me forever to figure it out.

DEAR FATHER CHRISTMAS,

hi! it's me, jessie. or jessica. i don't know which name you would know me by while you write your list. you know, i really hope i'm on the nice list this year. i try to be nice to everyone i encounter, even the occasional sleezy and gross patron we got in the club.

sorry. i ramble sometimes. but then again, if you see everything, you knew that already.

what do i want for christmas? well, i guess i don't want much. i'm pretty content. i would like the usual new makeup. some good eyeshadows, a new lipstick or two. there's a cute blush that's out too that i'd like to try, and some gold eyeliner that i think i could use for work.

but really, what i want more than anything is to be happy with NIKO MANNER in verdanturf.

you see, not too long ago, we both told each other we liked each other. he's still taking some time getting used to a relationship, you know. i don't know if he's ever had one with a single person... or one before period. but i like him a lot. and more than anything, i would love to just keep things the way they are. he makes me happy. he makes me feel pretty and perfect.

i think i love him

above, the paper is slightly wrinkled, and there's scratch marks trying to cover up what jessie wrote in pen

i hope that the verdanturf guys and girls all don't have to worry about a lot of things. that there's enough money and smooth sailing jobs to go around for everyone. the kids all looked so happy in the snow, and i want all of them to be like that.

oh. i hope virgil roach's bar gets situated. i know we had talked about it before, and i hope he's doing well with it now. he's a good guy.

i wish URIAH BLACK and my siblings get everything they want for christmas. i miss seeing them a lot, especially uri. maybe i'll visit him soon.

i guess GABRIEL BLACK should have a merry christmas too? though i suppose that's up to your discretion.

okay. that's all i got. thanks, father christmas.

merry christmas!

Dear Father Winter,

I know it's been a few years since I last wrote to you. I guess time just flies, huh? But I'm so sorry for neglecting our correspondence! I hope you've been doing well during the past few years

This is the part where I'm supposed to make a list of wishes, right? But to be honest, there's not much I would like for myself. Perhaps it's a matter of obliquity that has me writing to you...either way, I hope at least that my letter finds you in good health and happiness. What I wish for more than anything, Father Winter, is for those that I care about to be safe and happy and well during this season. I admit that I don't have a full grasp on the strife that affects this region, but I hope that those I care for will be safe.

And I hope for your happiness most of all, Father Winter! You've spent your life fulfilling the dreams of children, and I think you deserve to have your wishes fulfilled as well. What is it that you want most of all? I'll do my best to make it come true, if only you let me know.

Will you allow me to be selfish for a moment? I wish...

Selfishly...ack! To be honest, I'd love to thank Cresselia for all she's done for me. I know the lunar wing my father gave me was just a replica, an illusion of the real thing. Even so, she helped stave off so many nightmares as a child. Isn't that worthy of some thanks? I don't need to meet her, and I'm pretty sure I'm unworthy anyways. I just want her to know I'm thankful more than anything else.

But most of all, I still wish for your wishes to be fulfilled, and the wishes of those I care about. And, um...well, if my love life goes well this year...I wouldn't hate that either.

Ack! I really am being too selfish this year. Please take care, Father Winter, and please make sure to save any of my desires for the bottom of the pile!

Sending you all my love and kisses,
Luka Chêne

FATHER WINTER will send replies soon.
