The stage was supposed to close a half hour ago. The lights are hot. The set needs to be put away, a task that you must do once this is all over. But no one wants to crush the dreams of hopeful children. It's not so bad. There's a few kids left. The elf outfit isn't so uncomfortable. It's mostly just the shoes. They're killing you. They're slightly too narrow on both ends which are squishing your feet. One would think that big clog like shoes would be big enough. Whatever. The joy on the children's excited faces are worth it. Plus you gotta supervise Santa.
Jiraiya totally didn't seem the type, right? Volunteering his whole day to be Santa. Why you aren't sure. He volunteered you to be his elf helper the whole day. It hasn't been so bad. You mostly just check on him and his well-being.
He's dressed to the nines. The white trimmed red suit stuffed with a pillow for fake chub. The false beard that covered up over half his face. The hat that covered the rest. His jolly laugh he converted to the iconic ho-ho-ho sound. He hasn't broken character once. Poor man must be boiling in that cheap costume, but he's a trooper. He hasn't even slumped over in the grand red throne like chair once despite the hours of being in it. Most men would have caved.
He's leaned in close to listen to a little girl's wish. Once she finished he gave a jolly laugh and a promise that so long as she stays good, she'll get what she wants. You do the subtle hand off to give him a candy cane so he can give it to her, but you lean in closer to be by his ear.
"How you doing?" You whisper.
"Fine." Was his ever so quiet reply. He took the candy from you and handed it to the girl. "Happy Holidays!" He said to her before sending her off.
"Do you need water?" You whisper again.
"I can hold on. There's only a couple of kids left."
You pat his shoulder in a gesture of understanding. Jiraiya simply nods before inviting the next child up. He has on a big smile as he lifts the kid up to sit on his lap and invites them to tell him what they want for Christmas. This one was a bit more shy, but quietly gave in and told him.
Jiraiya has had a good run today. Only one very young kid that broke down into tears in his arms with their mother sitting on the armrest beside him. The mother did her best to console her child and the panic was practically palatable as Jiraiya fears upset children the most. It was the closest Jiraiya got to breaking the facade of Santa. Thankfully you were there to grip his arm as a reminder to get through it in a single piece.
"Candy cane, Miss Elf!" Your Santa orders with his hand out to take one.
"Of course, Santa." You say with a smile. You hand one over.
"Merry Christmas!"
The kid accepted the treat before leaping off of Santa to run to their awaiting parents. Okay. One more. The anticipation to get this last kid over and done with was building. So close to shutting this operation down. It goes by smoothly. Santa listens dutifully to the child's wish before you hand off the final candy cane. Their mother was quick to collect her child and thanked Santa for staying late.
"All in a days work! Merry Christmas!" Jiraiya bids them farewell in his jolly ole Saint Nick voice while waving. Once the door to the little pretend house was shut, he sighed so loudly it was clear exactly how he felt.
"Long day, Mister Claus?" You ask.
"That's one way to put it."
He pulls off the cap and pulls down the beard to take in the first real deep breath he's taken in hours. Those false whiskers can be suffocating! The moustache has been shoved up against his nostrils and tickling his lips the whole day. It took so much willpower to not rip it off in front of children who still believe in magic and unicorns. With lead heavy arms he pulls open the jacket of the costume to free the heat he's been sweltering in. The round pillow that he had shoved under his coat was thrown across the room.
