[Today Liam is sporting an organic, knit green point hat with a bell at the end.]

Okay guys, I leave to head home in a few hours, so I'll be losing the ears. Go ahead and get the Elf jokes out of your system.

[Liam gestures with open arms, and feigns bracing himself for the impact with a deep breath.]

...Lay it on me.

[disdainfully]

You should video call my granddaughters, I'm sure they would be delighted.

[arrowpoint]

Haha yes well...

[Pause.]

...do you really want me to? I could. As long as people don't figure out I'm numbered. I guess I could be wearing fake ears?

[disdainfully]

That would be an option. [He smiles.] I am sure they will like it. Like you, too.

And not being in the same place, you won't have to worry about them climbing on top of you.

[arrowpoint]

I don't mind kids, they're cute. Yeah, sure, just give me their skype name, and I'll ask them if they've been good and stuff.

[disdainfully]

I will get the information from Inger and send it to your phone.

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Open season on elf jokes? Really?

[arrowpoint]

Yeah, but for today only, dude.

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Fine, fine I'll contain myself to today only.

Just remember, you asked for it.

[arrowpoint]

Do what you gotta do. Consider it a Christmas present.

[goldenflames]

I wouldn't tempt people if I were you. It might leave you elfasperated!

[arrowpoint]

Ha. Ha. Ha... seriously though, if people are going to do it anyway, then I might as well get it over with in one go, you know?

[espigeonage]

I don't suppose there's time to take any elfies?

[julien you've used the 'selfies' pun before]

[arrowpoint]

Very punny.

[...but still, Liam gets out his phone and backs up from the laptop camera to take an "elfie" in front of Julien.]

[espigeonage]

Aww, you're sweet. If you see your uncle give him a smile for me, won't you? There's no pun there, don't worry.

[arrowpoint]

Sure thing. Yeah, he'll be there. Sometimes we'd do holidays at Locke, but... not this year, I guess.

[Small shrug.]

[handwritten]

[wastingtime]

With an opening like that, you won't have to leave the area to lose them. People will talk your ears off as it is.

[weak joke, but he couldn't resist]

[Liam leans over a little to read.]

Congrats, man. You're the first to make an ear joke.

[...but there is an amused upturn of the corner of his mouth.]

[knights_king]

I mean, you're setting yourself up pretty big with that...

[arrowpoint]

Eh, that's okay. I gave permission. Just for today, though. You got anything while the opportunity is good?

[knights_king]

I'm not really good at teasin'. I was the guy who got teased the most.

[He lied. Arthur had like 50 fudge striped christmas cookie jokes in him, but he was trying not to get into it--]

[arrowpoint]

Oh that sucks. I think every kid gets it now and then. Like some kids didn't like the fact that my dad had money. Can't say I was teased the most though.

[onecream_fivesugar]

You want bad elf jokes? Alright, here goes!

What kind of music do elves like?

[arrowpoint]

Uh... Christmas music?

Re: video

[onecream_fivesugar]

No, silly. Wrap music.

[arrowpoint]

[Because video does not convey the W...]

...I don't get it.
