[ 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. ]

Uh huh. D, did I ever tell you what happened to my dog?

[She tosses the turkey to 'Praetorian'.]

[xuffasch]

You were too incompetent to own it?

[foreverbouncing]

How do you think I learned I can't bounce with people? Or...living things.

[She gives him a glare.]

Make him go away.

[xuffasch]

You could just go away.

[foreverbouncing]

Not gonna.

[xuffasch]

I'm programming you out of the security codes next time.

[foreverbouncing]

...Because that will keep me out how?

[xuffasch]

Because once you're in, the system will know to attack.

[foreverbouncing]

Aw. That's so cute.

Won't work. But it's cute.

[xuffasch]

You overestimate yourself.

[foreverbouncing]

Pff, no I don't.

I went in and out of the clocktower dozens of times before Babs even knew I was there. If her security system couldn't see me, what possibly chance does your rinky-dink little one have?

[xuffasch]

_{( in a very mature fashion, damian just leaps to kick her in the side. hard. )}

This was bound to happen eventually, wasn't it?

[foreverbouncing]

[Despite the bickering, Charlie wasn't expecting that and takes the kick, hard, stumbling back a step before she vanishes in a flare.]

[And reappears behind him, turning the kick right at his butt.]

DUDE!

pretty much

[xuffasch]

_{( damian tumbles away but lands on his feet, then dives in for a punch. )}

You deserve it, Misfit.

At least they waited till after dinner.

[foreverbouncing]

It's not my fault-

[Charlie might have seemed like a spaz, but she had been trained by Babs and Helena and Zinda to fight. She blocks his punch with her forearm, shoving his arms upward and then vanishing to reappear next to him, spinning a kick at his chest.]

-that you're a freaky little rugbat siccing your DOG on people!

they are nothing if not considerate

[xuffasch]

_{( the teleporting catches him off guard for a moment, but he's small and fast so he ducks down and aims for her legs, trying to tip her balance and knock her off her feet. )}

You are not allowed to come into my house and insult me. Or eat my food. Or be here at at all.

They are models of party decorum, in fact.

[foreverbouncing]

[Charlie goes down hard, hitting the floor with a grunt, catching herself on her arm and hand. She rolls away and then comes up, propelling herself by her hands to kick out as his chest.]

It's not your house. You're like, five, you can't own anything!

model children any family would love to have

[xuffasch]

_{( he's already flipping back onto the couch, and using it as a spring board to tackle her to the ground. )}

You don't know anything. I built this place, you absolute idiot.

[foreverbouncing]

Oh I'm so impress-

[She cut off when he talked her, catching him even as she was falling backwards, using his weight to try and hurl him up past her.]

[xuffasch]

_{( he ends up flying past her a bit, turning in midair so that he lands on his feet but is shaken a little all the same. in a matter of moments he's diving back towards her, aiming a kick for her knees. )}

[foreverbouncing]

[Charlie was just getting to her feet when Damian slammed into her again and she once again went down hard, grabbing at him as she went and then letting out a startled cry of pain as she failed to catch herself and smacked her head into the floor.]

[xuffasch]

_{( he stands over her, triumphant. )}

Don't even try that again. Or I will take you down in a similarly humiliating fashion.

[foreverbouncing]

[Unfortunately for Damian, Charlie heals fast even without bouncing, so she's okay a moment later...and he's standing over her...so she just lashes up at his crotch with her leg.]

Shut UP!
