[ When all is said and done, the place really does clean up pretty nicely. No visible cluttery mess aside from that half-assembled Christmas tree in the corner of the living room, and there’s appropriate mood music on in the background. Make yourself at home and grab some food before it’s gone. ]

The Kitchen!

[ somebody else bring dessert. :c ]

open.

[Nill hadn't ever had a real Thanksgiving celebration, and was excited to spend the day with Damian and his family and friends. She had been glad that her dress wasn't to ridiculous, not wanting to meet some of his friends for the first time looking silly. She had brought some ginger snap cookies, and made her way to the kitchen to set them down.]

open.

[ He'll give her a smile when he sees her and reach to take the plate of cookies. ]

Heya, Nill.

[culver]

[The blonde handed the platter over with a smile. She liked Dick; he was a good person for Damian to be around, she thought. As far as she knew, he was very even-tempered and kind. As he took the tray, she snagged a cookie off it, her smile turning a bit impish as she started to nibble.]

[ Gosh Nill, why so adorable. He lets her have it and sets the platter down on the table with the other dessert. ]

How you been? I think Damian's, uh- [ probably in hiding. ]

He's around, somewhere.

[culver]

[It's just how she rolls. She begins to eye the other treats there; she's a sucker for sugar, okay. She nods at that--she saw him when she walked in, but he looked busy so she didn't want to bother him. Hopefully he'd have a good time today--she was pretty sure that was what Thanksgiving was about.]

[ He grins, then back off from the dessert table so she can move up closer if she wants. Time to get the rest of the turkey ready, anyway. ] Good choice. I think we have a little of almost everything else.

[culver]

[O-oh gosh. She does, in fact, take the opportunity to scuttle closer to the table. She nods, eyes wide as she stares at the plethora of desserts laid out. It was amazing.]

[After arriving, Ysera also made her way to the kitchen so she could find a place to set down her pumpkin pie. She smiled at Nill as she reached the dessert table, and, with closed eyes, glanced over the spread for a place to set down her pie.

Nill's dress wasn't silly at all. And it certainly wasn't the most unusual, considering Ysera's pilgrim robes (http://wow.zamimg.com/uploads/screenshots/normal/166787.jpg). But then, Ysera tends to wear whatever she feels like, regardless of modern social conventions.]

Hello. I don't believe we've met? I'm Ysera.

[culver]

[The blonde blinked at the address, turning to face whomever had spoken, head tilted. No, she certainly hadn't met this woman before, but she didn't mind doing so now. So Nill smiled, raising her hand in greeting. She wished she had some paper on her so she could write her name, but figured that she would just have to make do.]

open!

[ Selina slips in late with some (pre-bought this year) side dishes. She isn't planning to stay for long, but she can at least make sure the kids all have something that's edible. ]

[blondevigilante]

[Steph was busy finishing up a few side dishes when she spied Selina sliding in with a few dishes of her own. She'd be lying if she didn't admit to being more than a little surprised at seeing the woman stop by]

Oh! You're, uh, here...and staying?

[meowminx]

[ She stares at the younger woman. ]

That a problem?

[blondevigilante]

No! I just...I'm surprised to see you that's all.

[Don't mind the slight mess, please]

[meowminx]

Right.

[ Not the friendliest. ]

[blondevigilante]

I'm not saying you're not welcome, because obviously you are I just, well, you know, didn't think you'd actually show.

[Suddenly her brain catches up to what she's been saying]

Oh, look you brought a dish! Thanks!

[Is the overly friendly thing a bit much? For some reason it's so much harder being on the level with Selina than it is Catwoman.]

[meowminx]

[ Selina just hands over the food and lets her ramble. ]

[blondevigilante]

[Steph set the plate down and took a deep breath trying to remember that she actually knew how to act like a normal human occasionally.]

Have you said hello to everyone else yet?

open!

[batmantled.livejournal.com]

[ Really, it's a nice thought. And it's nice that she's here; that she'd thought enough of them to come this time. ]

Hey. Good to see you.

open!

[meowminx]

[ He gets a kiss on the cheek. ]

You too, Richard.

[batmantled.livejournal.com]

[ He rubs the spot and blushes a little. ] Make yourself at home.

And hey, what do you think of the place? [ He thinks it might be the first time she's seen it. ]

[meowminx]

[ A smirk. ]

Not a bad joint to case.

[batmantled.livejournal.com]

Lucky for me we've got a few surprises. [ Though Catwoman quality, maybe not. ]

[meowminx]

Oh really.

[ Now she's interested... ]

Damian's got a guard dog. [ a half-apologetic little shrug. ]
