Nicholas Nelson's Questionnaire

I, Nicholas, live in my humble abode found in the streets of Tallinn in the frosty yet warm North of Estonia! I live here where it's cold for it is where I simply wish to be. I used to live in America but found myself wanting nothing more than to be with my flesh and blood and family. My family helped raise me to be the upstanding young man I am today-- one that seeks nothing more than the betterment of humanity and the kindness that can blossom from one's heart! There is a story of how even the grossest, greenest man can have their heart grow three sizes when they meet the right people, after all!

I obtain my money by working an honest career at the mall in Voru! I work as a security guard by night, always leaving me tuckered out in the morning, but leaving me ample and alert when I am needed most: when naughty hoodlums and nefarious thieves go stalking in, thinking about taking a large TV home when all they'll be taking is a trip to jail! Furthermore, during the ever-wonderful Christmas season, I love spending my time as the one and only Santa Claus! Of course, I'm not REALLY Santa, but a man can dream! I have not the fat for it, and I doubt I ever will if I want to keep the mall safe.

My ambition is a simple one caused by years of war: nothing more than world peace! Of course, I wish to go about it in my own special, festive, Christmas-y way! I wish to spread holiday cheer and love across the globe with gifts galore to all of the kind people I meet. I'd lay down my life for it if it meant the world would finally reach that peace; where war is no longer commonplace and the worst you could find is a bitter argument of a married couple. Alas, the world sees too much war and bloodshed. If my goal is to be seen to fruition then I must live for a long time-- my sacrifice will mean nothing if it is not the end. Thus... Sadly, I must use my gifts to slay those too naughty to run amok. I haven't yet killed... And I dearly hope that I will never have to. Knowing humanity, though...

I must.

The first ever Christmas that I can remember. Oh, what a spectacular day it was! I could not fathom what drove my neighborhood to start it, but every year since my 4th birthday (December 25th! Ha!), my entire neighborhood would turn Christmas into such a large celebration it could be heard practically across the entire city! Everyone would buy gifts for each other, bring their friends to go sledding across mountains of snow made from the efforts of the masses, and make delicious treats and hearty meals for all the men, women, and children!

But in this day and age, all I see nowawadays are people sitting in their homes and blowing up inflatable trees for Christmas. It was like the spirit left everyone! ... But not me. I shall bring it back, stronger than ever!

My mama, my papa, and my greatest friend in the whole wide world: Chris! My parents-- mama and papa-- were angelic. The treats that they would make for me; the blessed schools they got me into; the lengths they would go to to make sure I was as happy as can be... I could not be more thankful.
And Chris is no exception. Friends since Kindergarten, we got each other through thick and thin. He'd protect me from bullies; help me with the worst questions on our tests; got me the most amazing gifts! I do very much miss him. But I haven't been able to talk to him. I vouched for his innocence, but he's been in a juvenile detention center since 8th grade. It was also the around the time I moved back to Estonia.

Perhaps he wasn't the best of influences. But I still miss him.
