[The Pokegear is on its side, at an awkward angle -- Harley doesn't seem to be aware that it's filming. She's happily dancing around a large, bushy Christmas tree in one corner of the room. Said tree appears to be holding roughly three times its own weight in lights, tinsel, and candy-canes, and Harley's adding more to it. She's singing quietly under her breath; careful listeners might pick out the lyrics.]

[Stan the Poochyena can barely be made out on Harley's bed. He's looking more resigned than usual and gnawing disconsolately on a large candy-cane, a massive red and green bow tied around his neck. A Koffing occasionally floats into view, wearing a Santa hat and apparently okay with that.]

[Harley tops off the tree with a surprisingly-simple star and flops back on the bed, dislodging Stan with a yelp. She picks up the Poochyena, who makes a half-hearted attempt to bite her face off, apparently more out of habit at this point than anything.]

We got a tree, Stanny!

[She's obviously very happy about this. It's been a while since she's been able to have an honest-to-God Christmas tree.]

Whatcha want for Christmas? You been a good dog, so I'm gonna getcha somethin' nice.

Yeah, this was the biggest that'd fit through the doors. Back home there was some that was even bigger, too.

[You have not seen a Christmas tree until you've seen a tree almost as high as the building housing it.]

Wait, y'didn't have Christmas trees back home?

No, we didn't! We had something like it, called a behemoth leaving. Every troll's lusus would bring one and place it in the hive as decoration.

We don't call it Christmas, either! It's called 12th Perigee's Eve.

[This is one of those times where Harley ALMOST understands all the individual words, but stringing them together produces something akin to a large crowd of people saying 'rhubarb' a lot.]

....

Oh, are you one a' the aliens I heard about? ...What's a lusus, is that like an alien version a' Santa Claus?

I guess you could say that! I mean, I was a troll before all of this "turning human" shenanigans happened.

No, stupid! A lusus is a beast-like custodian that takes care of young trolls. I think the human equivalent is called "parents"?

I ain't that stupid. Just cause I never heard of a lucies don't mean I don't know about trolls.

...They live under bridges an' stuff, right?

Luscii! And you've got it all wrong again. Why do you all think we live under bridges? That would just be plain silly. We live in hives.

What, like bees?

[Maybe on her planet, 'troll' is the word for 'bee'?]

An' everyone where I come from knows trolls live under bridges.

[Bees. My god.]

No, not like bees! Like trolls!

Who came up with a stupid idea like that! [ she giggles. ] Bridges don't seem like very comfortable living spaces, don't you think?

I always figured trolls had heating an' stuff underneath 'em.

That all sounds pretty dumb. Are all humans this gillible?
