Nine Story Studios, James Story avoice. Welcome to the lift, get
ready to take a ride. Hello, I'm Daniel Foy Tech and I thank
(00:41):
you for joining us for a specialepisode of Victoria's Lyft. Today, we're
presenting the fourth of five mini episodesfor Christmas, called a Little Lyft for
the Holidays. Full sized episodes arecoming, but until then, let's join
Victoria for today's tale, Festive Spiritby Jesse Hawk, told by Karim k
and Amber Loverling Nay Collins. Thankyou all of you for being a part
(01:04):
of Victoria's Christmas celebration. Check backtomorrow for our final holiday tale. That
(01:29):
one doesn't open, does it not? What a shame? I do so
enjoy the freshness of night air,especially when snowfall is you. I don't
often see it. I'm afraid you'llbe disappointed. The sky is cleared this
evening. Forgive me, but Idon't recall seeing you check in. No,
(01:55):
I don't suppose you would. I'llbe everywhere at once, now,
can you? You would be surprised? Tell me how did you get in
here? I would quite like toknow that myself. In truth, I'm
not even sure where here is somesort of hotel or similar establishment. Perhaps
(02:15):
if you think I should have checkedin, Yes, well there it is.
Let me see, I know Icame from out there. Oh maybe
I came down the chimney. Tisthe season after all? Yes, sir,
I am not a child. Ihave seen things that could never be
(02:38):
I've watched bodies warp and stones bleed, and the very floorboards we stand on
weep, sub beg. But Ido not believe in Father Christmas, and
I do not believe you came downthe chimney. Who or what are you?
And how did you come to bein this room? You're correct,
(03:00):
of course, and I apologize ahm. Would you give me a hand?
Thank you? Now? I knowyou're not what you appear to be,
and nor am I as you mayhave guessed, And you possess years
(03:23):
beyond the youth you present. Idid not mean to condescend or ridicule.
Yet you are young to me.You are a child to me. No
living creature, I am afraid,is capable of being as old as I
myself am. That sounds lonely,I suppose it does every so often,
(03:51):
though I managed to bring myself downto earth in more ways than one it's
not an exact science mine, andit's always a surprise to see who or
what I turn up as. AndI must say this one is both novel
and one I am particularly fond of. I think and to boot I've even
(04:17):
encountered a friend in yourself. You, Victoria, have made me a little
less lonely this evening, so Imust thank you. Oftentimes I don't meet
a soul on my ventures, andit is a very long gap between trips.
I'm I'm sorry to hear that you'refrom up there. Ah, it's
(04:45):
relative, but you get the gist. Yes, oh, I do so
hope it snows. I never getto see it through the clouds, but
I know it's magical. It isnice to meet someone who is alike myself,
(05:06):
if not the same. This placeis not quite like the rest of
the world, is it, Norindeed are you. I I apologize for
confronting you as I did. Idid not realize you were No apology needed.
(05:28):
I intruded on your domain. Iwould be just as startled should the
same happen to me. You definitelyare not Father Christmas, though of course
not, though for the record,I will neither confirm nor deny his existence.
I can respect that. Thank youany time. I believe you are
(06:00):
starting to fade, my friends,I think you're right, my dear,
Ah, well, such is life. Perhaps I'll be able to return some
day. I would like that.In the meantime, Ah, I know
(06:26):
I will leave something for you toremember me by, to keep you company.
I'm not lonely, quite so,But in any event, could you
keep this form safe until I canreturn to it? I would be so
grateful. Hmm, only if youagree that I commend it. It's in
(06:50):
a bit of a sorry state.It has agreed, then forgive me.
I believe the stars are calling forme. If you should ever want me,
you need only look. Okay,let's look at you one key ear
(07:24):
also could use a bit more stuffing. Oh, good grief, look at
this tail. A third bit ofstitching required, I think. So.
There's a far tweakle in those littleeyes, even without our guest in there.
Yes, there is definitely some potentialhere. Well, mister bear,
(07:46):
I'm too old for toys, butI will make an exception for you as
a favor for a friend. Let'sget you fixed up. Would you look
at that, mister bear? It'sknowing. Thank you to our supporters for
