marry christmas: what would happen if santa sudunly appered in drifters hollow .
Thank you, Merry Christmas to you too! Sorry this reply is so late!
There is no concept of Santa Claus or Christmas on Looming Gaia, but if there was, I imagine it would bring a lot of excitement to a quiet village like Drifter's Hollow.
The village kids would of course go nuts. Tomato, Frederick, Cinnamon, Azadora, and even Isaac (especially Isaac...) would stay up all night, trying to meet Santa. Frederick takes this way too far and sets a trap, planning to kidnap Santa and threaten more presents out of him. In the end, all the kids get nice presents...except Frederick, who gets a piece of coal.
As a former burglar, Itchy can't stand the idea of a strange man invading his home at night. He stands watch by the burning fireplace until morning. He succumbs to a 5-minute nap, and when he wakes, there are presents behind him. How did that happen? He is horrified, deciding that Santa Claus is the greatest home invader of all time.
Gwyneth is excited to get a bunch of free stuff, which she plans to sell at her market for big profits. But all she gets is a 5GP gift card...to a store 3 towns over.
Isaac leaves cookies and milk out for Santa. Evan eats them.
Alaine leaves out whisky for him. Glenvar drinks it.
Instead of cookies and milk, Dr. Che and Philippa leave rice cakes, silk milk, and a note explaining that they're concerned about Santa's health.
Lilian writes a note to Santa, asking for world peace...but if he can't give her that, then a dollhouse is fine too.
Lukas pisses on everyone's parade and tells them Santa isn't real. Wakes up on Christmas morning with presents in his house, which he cannot explain.
Elska doesn't trust this stranger sneaking around the Hollow at night. She patrols all day and night until she's exhausted, and accidentally falls asleep on the job. When she wakes up, she finds a brand new axe laying beside her with a bow on it.
That's all I can think of at the moment! If anyone wants to add more ideas, you can send a message or leave them in the comments. :)

"we need the night to see the stars". a whole day exploring together with danish and tin :)
visiting sujata stupa which was build to remember that buddha got offered milk rice shortly before his enlightenment.
also in sujata a very old huge banyan tree.
dungeshwari cave where the buddha stayed for a longer time during his time as an ascetic.
around the cave other structures like houses and temples were build in tibetan style.
and one could lit a light.
along the path to the cave, but also in other places, many people hope to get some food or money or other help from visitors. they don't necessarily have a home, but live there.
continuing to gurpa mountain and slowly slowly step by step walking up together with a lot of little breaks.
enjoying misty views.
a memorial shrine for mahakassapa, an important disciple of the buddha.
prayer flags and a golden stupa on top.
enjoying the time together :)
more flags ;)
and a spontaneous dance moment :)
in the evening visiting tergar monastery with tin. having some real good tibetan thukpa soup!
discovering books on the dharma and a magic woven mandala. talking about how we got on the path and how to nurture the good in human beings.
oh... I just connected the dots. the name "philippa rice" sounded a little familiar when I was watching "is it christmas yet" again, so I opened the linked website and oh actually it's the artist of one of those Instantly Recognizable comics (with the simple clean red and black on white and the couple being quiet and sweet) and also wrote a bunch of children's books and stuff. I get completely different vibes from those two points of reference (neither of them bad obvs) so it completely didn't register to me. I think I've even gotten a book of those comics for arin before. now I feel a little silly about leaving a comment on the video. but I will let it stay there anyway because I meant what I said regardless of who it was made by.
In Season 3, the character 'San' appears several times in the hallucinations Philippa suffers from time sickness. San is bleeding to death with his face covered by a helmet, and Philippa touches San's body and sees the blood on his hand, calling out "San". The identity of the mountain is not revealed until the moment Philippa Giorgio leaves Star Trek: Discovery. She regretted not being able to tell Michael about the mountain, saying that she could have lived in a different way and that opportunity was the mountain, just as she was parting forever with Michael. It appears to be rice cakes for Star Trek: Section 31, which will be produced with Philippa Giorgio as the main character.
Coincidentally, the character 'San' appears in Die Standing[52], an anecdotal novel with Philippa George Woo as the main character. So overseas fans speculate that the mountain Philippa saw as a hallucination is the mountain in the novel. It does not appear directly in Die Standing, but appears briefly in Philippa's dreams and conversations with Leland. San is a man whom Philippa had been close to in his youth, but died early due to something. He was so dear to Philippa that after the death of San, he said that he had no friends with Philippa. Because of his death, it is highly likely that Philippa became a person without blood or tears. A photo taken in the direction of Shinui-gwan.
The school building consists of Sinui Hall (Building A), Devotional Hall (Building B), Creativity Hall (auditorium and gymnasium), Information Science Hall, etc. It is composed of 2nd to 5th floors with the playground as the ground floor. Intelligence officers do not apply.
The building structure stands out in the spirit of Baesanim-ro, which has a mountain in the back and a deungchon-ro in front. When you arrive at the main gate of Daeil High School, there are two uphill roads on both sides, and there is a door that leads directly to the building in the middle. However, when going to school, it is not possible to use the road east of B. Because the food trucks come and go, it seems to be blocked for safety reasons. When you enter the door, there is a staircase to the left to go up to Building B, and the gym is to the right. There are two entrances to the gym, and the remaining one is connected to the basement of Building A. For reference, it was built in the late 1980s, and it was built in the same style as the old building used in Jeongneung-dong.
If you go up the ramp (slope), you will see the entrance stairs to Building A (Sinui Hall), which is used by first and second year liberal arts departments, and Daeil Dormitory, which is used for various activities such as special class self-study or orchestra activities, and Daeil High School's famous barbershop.
The price of the barber shop is 5,000 won, and the barber can even shave you if you want. After a haircut, boil water and wash your hair with warm water. A two-block cut is also possible at the request of the students. It is gone after 2021.
If you turn left in front of the entrance to Building A and walk up the first-floor ramp, you will come to the main entrance of Building A and a playground that many people mistake for a rooftop. If you walk in behind the main entrance of Building A, you will find a separate collection box and a small farm.
The playground is adjacent to Daeil Garden, which is created like a trail by cutting a mountain, and six basketball courts are provided on the urethane floor by half-ding a square playground. It's good for basketball, but when you play soccer, you use a handball goalpost as a goal, and the floor is urethane, so it's not good. In addition, when it rains, it becomes a water park, and when it snows, it becomes a place for body gags. In this case, it is recommended to step on the drainage canal in front of Daeil Garden.
If you cross the playground from Building A, you will find Building B (Consecration Hall), which is used by 2nd and 3rd year science students. Building B has a music room, an art room, a restaurant and a shop. The restaurant is located on the 1st basement floor when the playground is set as the 1st floor, and the store is located on the 2nd basement floor. The store is closed due to the COVID-19 crisis. The line for eating lunch stretches from the stairs in front of the restaurant to the drinking fountain in the playground. It's a bit long. Before the repair work in 2013, there was always water in front of the drinking fountain, which was caused by poor drainage on the roof of Building B due to poor construction. If you go down one level from the restaurant, there is a shop and a door leading to the ramp. This door is used by B-dong students to go to the information center or gym.
...The centaur shook his head and finished, “Ms. Philippa has the same nature he does. She bends over backwards to care for everyone around her, but she does not care for herself. It’s as if the gods made those two for eachother, but now that she is gone, I fear the doctor’s grief will overcome him. He is not caring for himself at all!” He patted a sack of grain on the counter before hefting it onto his equine back. “I am taking this rice to him today. I will cook a big meal and see that he eats it.”
“You’re a good seed, Olof,” Gwyneth told him. She gestured her hand toward a stand on the counter, holding several bouquets of fresh flowers. “Say, while you’re at it, why not bring him one of these? Say it’s from me ‘n Brogan. It’ll brighten his mood, let him know we care.”
Olof smiled and picked up a bouquet, replying, “Good idea, Mrs. Fallbrooke. You are right, it’s such a dark time of year, these pretty flowers will surely lift his spirits.”
Just as he turned to leave, Gwyneth held out her palm and said, “That’ll be ten GP.”
“Ten GP?” Olof cocked his head. “Er, but I thought…?”
“What, you thought this was a charity? I got bills to pay, cowboy. You want to see Che smile or not? Ten GP, take it or leave it.”
Olof looked at her, then back at the flowers in his hand. He let out a little sigh as he reached into his satchel for more gold. Just then, Morbus stepped in front of him and slapped two coins on the counter. “Oh for Gaia’s sake! I’ll pay for it,” she grumbled to Gwyneth, then snatched a second bouquet from the rack. “In fact, give me two, you stingy little miser. You just can’t let a single coin go out of the kindness of your heart, can you?”
“I run a marketplace, ma’am, not a House of Love and Light,” Gwyneth told her, swiping the coins and dropping them in her apron pocket. “Thank you for your patronage! Bye bye now.” She offered a disingenuous grin with a little wave before turning to the next customer in line.
Morbus scoffed and took Olof by his hook-hand, leading him down the road. “Ugh! I’d rather suck a lemon than talk to that woman for one more second! We’ll see how many people bring her flowers when she’s belly-up on her deathbed! Now, a man like Che…” She buried her nose in the bouquet, inhaling deeply. “Ah...he deserves all the beautiful blooms in the world, doesn’t he?”
--Excerpt from "Love Poison"
I love this scene for so many reasons:
Olof's friendship with Che is really sweet.
Gwyneth and Morbus competing for the Biggest Asshole Award(tm).
Morbus actually redeeming herself ever so slightly, even if it's for selfish reasons.
