Voice; Fiddlesticks 24, early-ish morning. (slightly backdated)
Colour me curious, but what are winter festivals or holidays like on your world? Back home, today would be Shiwasu 10, or Tōji -longest night and the start of winter. It's also my birthday, but that's not the important thing; it's not a big number anyway. I don't know what Alola does for Tōji, so I'll tell you what my hometown did.
[The longer she talks, the more homesick she sounds. It likely doesn't help that today's her birthday, but well. Small detail's Eva's willing to overlook.] Masara had the rural traditions of feasting, food making, drinking, games dancing, battles. You know, the normal for a coastal town.
No snowball fights though; we'd have to go to the mountains for that and we never went in the lead up to Tōji because that was bad luck. But, we did have something better: Fire jumping under the stars to bring good luck. You'd start at dusk with it low, little more than a small coal pit so even kids could jump it with supervision, and work up to a boosted jump over a half-drum of flames, though they'd only let the adults do that one.
The day I turned twenty I did so many times mum had to drag me away from it by the ear, but - worth it. So worth it...

/sorry for the slow
[She cocks her head in confusion.]
Who's Santa Claus? Is she related to Christmas?
no worries, life happens
See, once a year he goes all around the world delivering toys to good kids.

[The more pressing thing though-]
How does he do it in one night?

Magic reindeer! They can fly super faster.

Reindeer? What's that?

[ Which she mimics by putting her hands on her head, for 'horns'. ]
no subject
[.... Nope. Still not ringing any kind of bell.]
Do you mind drawing it?
no subject
[ The good news is that it doesn't take Della long to draw one up.
The bad news is that Della sucks at drawing, so if anything, it just looks MORE CONFUSING. ]
no subject
Oh! so... sorta like an odoshishi, then?
[She means stantler.]
no subject
But I'm gunna say yes!
