Questions Only — the Christmas Edition

[countessalmirena]

Let’s try a new word game for the festive season.

The idea is to progress a scene or storyline, using questions only. We can only post one sentence per post, and it must be a question. Hopefully the scene can come to a natural conclusion with a funny ending, after a certain number of posts (let’s say between 10 and 20 questions… as a rough idea).

The person who finishes the scenario can then start the next “round” with a new scenario-starting question, and so on.

I envisage this lasting up to middle of January (hopefully), and then coming to an end as the Christmas season itself will have done.

(We can always start a non-Christmas edition in a new thread if this takes off.)

Please keep the scenarios to a Christmas theme, however vaguely or tenuously.

And we’re off!

Does Santa really give Christmas gifts to the reindeer?

Are battery-powered cameras watching the elves’ every move and timing their little elves’ room breaks and using AI to gauge their efficiency, to the point that the elves find their ears shrinking with the stress?

[mytreechange]

Is facial recognition software being used, or ear recognition software, as I have heard that elves' ears are as individual as fingerprints?

[countessalmirena]

If those ears are uniquely identifiable, does this mean elves wear ear-gloves when committing crimes?

[sandypebbles]

Once gloved up, do crime committed elves suck on sulfur hexafluoride to make their elfish voices deeper?

Would a deep-voiced elf be more intimidating than an ogre on helium?

[twyngwyn]

Is helium the 'trick' Santa uses to get the reindeer to fart, thereby making chimneys a great getaway?

[sandypebbles]

What happens if the fireplace is lit when the reindeer fart down the chimney? 

[twyngwyn]

Would they really cover Santa in soot?

[sandypebbles]

And if so, can you tell where Santa has been by where his sooty foot he put?

And would it make the Christmas tree explode as well as the plum pudding, eggnog, brandy, presents, house elves and wide-screen smart television?
