(no subject)

WHO: Sort of open. This is for of Themyscira-Zatara Family & friends.
WHERE: Diana and Zee's place and elsewhere.
WHEN: Throughout December.
WARNINGS: Enough of them.
SUMMARY: Cute winter holiday stuff. Please specify in the subject line if your threads are open or closed (and if they are closed, to which people).
FORMAT: Whatever you feel like.


[Come December first, Zatanna's already done a number on the house. Mostly in that she has finally relinquished her death-grip on the spooky Halloween mansion that it had been for Halloween (that had morphed into Thankschilling Day).

By the eighth, she has given up on normalcy and forced snow upon the house itself and the front and backyards; it is natural and cold and wet to the touch. More importantly, it's clean. It doesn't melt much or get sloshy and muddy. The forest she'd created for Halloween remains, though not overgrown. The air is sweet with the smell of pine, but not thickly so. She's cleared it out a little, made it easier to navigate. There is now plenty of room for building snow people and snow forts, in addition to the occasional snowball fight.

The inside of the house no longer (quite as) spooky. The fireplace in the living room seems to permanently be full of logs and remains lit even when no one is home. Halfway through the month, a pine tree also appears, growing through some dimensional wormhole so it remains real without having to cut one down. The dining room has a warm glow from candles and wall sconces and the kitchen seems to always have some wonderful smell wafting from it.

There is a fat orange Persian walking around, dressed as a reindeer. It doesn't seem perturbed by its costume and appears quite content, although trying to curl up and sleep almost anywhere in between desired pettings. Hermes has become more mellowed out since Halloween (and much larger, too) and only wears antlers on his head. Teekl and Gabranth declined to join the festivities.

This holiday season is going to be good. Or, hopefully at least much better than last year's.]

Wow. Cold shoulder.

[April's voice goes up into the 'oooh you're so cure yes you are' tone that people get around animals as she turns her attention back to digby.]

He's just jealous I don't want two of him. Yes.

They were sacrificed. To the presents gods.

[Said so solemnly, as she watches the drink flare on the fire.]

Santa is for kids.
viced: (Fuck me)

[personal profile] viced 2012-12-30 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah, that's good. [ He sat, but god was he uncomfortable. What he was doing was going through the motions, doing the things "friends" were supposed to do, but that didn't mean he knew really what to say. Maybe if he didn't try and express interest, Zee wouldn't try and text him when she had a problem, but the problem was that he did care, even if he didn't know how to exactly express it like normal people did. ]

Anyway, they're good again? That last fight was pretty fucking bad, Zee.
viced: (Yeah and no sugar)

[personal profile] viced 2012-12-30 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh don't worry, I don't plan on being alone. [ He smiles, encouraging. Honestly, he plans on working it through. Why waste the time when he has serious projects he needs to focus on? ]
foreshadower: Tony Harris. (Thought)

[personal profile] foreshadower 2012-12-30 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps she understands that some things merely are what they are, but that doesn't make me any less fascinating.

[ He does think quite highly of himself. ]
centralsgreatest: (what)

[personal profile] centralsgreatest 2012-12-30 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"Fascinated" isn't really what I look for in a girl.
foreshadower: (These moving pictures...)

[personal profile] foreshadower 2012-12-30 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps I'll bring along one of my dishes. Although it's a shame you wouldn't get to enjoy my stargazy pie. [ He waved a hand, his face still locked in a flirty quirk. ]

I can tell you, if there are gentleman out there who do not appreciate it, then perhaps they don't understand quite what they're missing out on, hm?
foreshadower: (Enjoy it)

[personal profile] foreshadower 2012-12-30 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I think that what I look for and what you look for must be wholly different, Flash.

Even so, I'm sure you've noticed that we are not dating, yes? There's nothing wrong with a little healthy flirting.
onetouch: (all | these my peeps y'all)

[personal profile] onetouch 2012-12-31 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Good. [He nodded decisively, and that was done.

Then he glances up the stairs, sighing a bit.]
Where do you think she could be?
centralsgreatest: (dude)

[personal profile] centralsgreatest 2012-12-31 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
You sure Zee knows that?
invoking: (bsod.)

[personal profile] invoking 2012-12-31 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Who are you? [ Zatanna nor Diana didn't mention anyone who might be... unruly?? IS THIS UNRULY? SHE'S SO STRANGE... ]
foreshadower: Tony Harris. (Grim)

[personal profile] foreshadower 2012-12-31 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
I'm absolutely positive, boy. I don't need to mislead any youths into my clutches.

[ For the first time, he almost looked disgusted. Could anyone blame him? That was kind of filthy, even for him. ]
centralsgreatest: (srs face)

[personal profile] centralsgreatest 2012-12-31 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah. That's what they all say.

[ He waves it off, but he does seem mostly convinced.

He just cares about his friends, is all. ]
foreshadower: (Hi Jay c:)

[personal profile] foreshadower 2012-12-31 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Honestly, if I needed to do that, would I be wasting precious time speaking with you? There are women to win, after all!

[ He's back to his light, joking attitude, the quirk of his lips apparent even now. ]
viced: (Mayoral)

[personal profile] viced 2012-12-31 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Who, Zee? Fuck if I know. I figure she's cooking, or maybe saying hi to someone else. She could be anywhere, honestly. She'll show up.
centralsgreatest: (heeey)

[personal profile] centralsgreatest 2012-12-31 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
And here I thought you were flirting with me. Shows what I know.
ecphrasis: citadel_icons @ IJ (classy.)

[personal profile] ecphrasis 2012-12-31 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
[No don't he'll only encourage her.]

You think so? I wasn't sure what other people would like so I just got my favorites...
centralsgreatest: (sweet)

[personal profile] centralsgreatest 2012-12-31 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
They're awesome! [ He shoves another into his mouth. He's incorrigible. ]

Which grocery store did you get 'em at? I may pick some up on my way home.
themysciran: (★ bright;)

[personal profile] themysciran 2012-12-31 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry about it.

[She clasps her hands in delight when she sees the flowers. She's familiar with their meaning, and Diana is touched that Gil took the time to get some that had a message.] Oh, they're lovely. I'll just go put them in water.

[She starts walking to the kitchen, assuming that he would follow her into the room.]
foreshadower: (Well pardon moi)

[personal profile] foreshadower 2012-12-31 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Now, now. Don't think too highly of yourself there, Flash. I can assure you, if I were, you would be certain of it.

[ But he wouldn't. He may have been bffs with Oscar Wilde, but that's not his thang. ]
doubleoohbaby: (born to run)

[personal profile] doubleoohbaby 2012-12-31 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[He circles like a true predator, finishing off one damn big snowball that looks to be several crushed together to make a super one. Making sure it's packed tight enough not to fall apart, but loose enough to cause ultimate chaos, he then goes for the kill, darting in close range to try and dunk it straight for her head, opening himself up to hits.]
doubleoohbaby: (grab your coat you've pulled)

[personal profile] doubleoohbaby 2012-12-31 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, can't it be both. I rather like the idea of an open fire, tucked away in a log cabin with bear rugs and a hot pool. [At least he knows what he wants in life.]
doubleoohbaby: (yo bro have a heinie)

[personal profile] doubleoohbaby 2012-12-31 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I think this witch might be alright. [He decides, voice low to keep with the whole conspiracy feel.]

Just don't anger her or she'll curse you.
doubleoohbaby: (in da snow)

[personal profile] doubleoohbaby 2012-12-31 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Han. Han, would it be better if Bond got topless so you could look at his manly muscles while he chops wood? He knows you're just here to eye him up.] Hello, Captain. Zee force you over here for a bit of Christmas cheer?
doubleoohbaby: (packing the heavy guns)

[personal profile] doubleoohbaby 2012-12-31 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
No. [Called back before another swing and chop. Being alone is pretty awesome. Still, this is the season to be jolly, so he hears, so maybe being sociable won't kill him...] Could do with some pie though.
