Current Events > A Final Fantasy Tactics Christmas (spoilers)

(+) Yeah! (+)

'Twas the night 'fore Ajoramas and all through the keep
Not a goblin was stirring (thank CT5 Sleep)
Crossbows were hung on the mantel with care
In the hopes Algus' ghost would stay 'way from there

The kiddies were nestled all snug in their packs
Giving Dycedarg a moment to finally relax
Zalbag in jammies, me with a javelin
Waited for morn and the present unravelin'

When outside the window, there arose a commotion
I teleported to check in one breezy motion
The curtains were shut, but I parted them thus
And readied my spear to inspect the fuss

The cloudy sky made a windswept clime
And would give bonuses to ice, Zalbag had chimed
I looked down askance at the ruckus' cause
And exclaimed to my brethren, "It's Santa Claus!"

He had a lone courser of tentacled face
That pulled his sleigh on at astonishing pace
The jolly man readied his crop with a crack
And blows fell upon the squidlarkin's back

As a sword upon broadened shield does veer
When met by an obstacle too thick to be sheared
The sled ground 'gainst the bank, til up on one rail
It shot through the sky like a Bismarkian whale

When right behind me, a burgeoning crowd!
I then realized I'd been narrating aloud
Before I could explain no whale existed
Alma hushed us, and no one resisted

Castle Igros' rooftop was spangled by noise
When Santa slid down the flue, abreast of his toys
The silent crowd clamored like soldiers for hire
Dyce ran to his aid and put out the fire

At long last, we held that man in our sights
Who'd brought joy to this long storied night
His rosy face was besooted, dark like a grue
Other features were like more similes I knew

His wit soon had us in merriment's throes
As he said of our mantel, "I also hang those!"
We all tipped our cups and he opened his bag
In order to brandish all kinds of swag

But the greatest gift was reserved for us all
As we heard a knock from far down the hall
Dyce opened the door and like a holiday carol
Soon exclaimed "It's my eldest brother...Daryl!"

The clan ran forward for teary embrace,
And left the servants to clean up the place
Santa held back and smirked at the scene
Then flew up the chimney with magic unseen

He clicked his reins as a good driver might
And crossed off his list as he took flight
He passed overhead and I seem to recall
Him saying "Merry Ajoramas to each of you all!"
