(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.]

[Well, that's one way to neaten to pile up... Bond still isn't a big fan of magic, doesn't trust the stuff, no matter who his girlfriend might be.] Mm. I'm sure it'll get used up eventually, magic supplies or not.
doubleoohbaby: (curiosity killed the spy)

It's just easier to agree with her in the long run. [Yup, James may be totally pussy whipped, but he realises it's the smart and hassle free way to live.]

I assume work has been keeping you busy?
centralsgreatest: (sweet)

[personal profile] centralsgreatest 2012-12-31 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank God, there's a load off my mind.

[ He's into Brazilian girls. Shade doesn't qualify. ]

Now I can enjoy the party again.
invoking: commission. (hope.)

[personal profile] invoking 2012-12-31 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He does! And he looks a little pleased that she likes them. ]

I know it's not much. I wanted to say... thank you for everything so far.

[personal profile] bumbumbum 2012-12-31 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I know it will get used up eventually, in between myself, Larsa, Zatanna and Diana. Thank you for this.
viced: (Dubious.)

Like you wouldn't believe. [ He didn't mind the distraction from Zee. He could agree with James, but he might be getting himself into deep shit if she heard him. ]

It's that time of the year, even if it has been blessedly quiet since the Vulcanus shit.

[ The only flash he would wear a sarong for would be Jay, so Wally's safe. ]

Precisely. I would hate to ruin your enjoyment.
doubleoohbaby: (in da snow)

[personal profile] doubleoohbaby 2013-01-01 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Hn. It's nothing. Gets me out of the house for a bit. [Being thanked? Gross, that's like acknowledging he's not always a dick. And Klarion's the last person he expects thanks from.]

Want a go?
onetouch: (❦you don't know where to go)

[personal profile] onetouch 2013-01-01 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I only brought two kinds... no chocolate. [he frowns, which is probably more audible than visible from this far away.] Lemon meringue? Or cookies?
onetouch: (happy go bakey)

[personal profile] onetouch 2013-01-01 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[he chuckles before ducking into the kitchen] Coming right up.
onetouch: (❦in the swing of things)

[personal profile] onetouch 2013-01-01 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Right, of course she will.

[a beat] What are you up to?
onetouch: (at your service)

[personal profile] onetouch 2013-01-01 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
It's traditional.

Jacqueline Christabella Unicornia Raccoonus. The Fifth.

[Poor boy. Z should really post warnings on the door when she invites April places. Or at least leave with her Larsa to protect the innocent. But now it's time for a new marshmallow to be shoved on the stick. Along with a haughty lift of her eyebrow.]

It's the full thing. To whatever you are.
invoking: (WHAT.)

[personal profile] invoking 2013-01-01 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
There's no way that can be a real name!

[ Wally speeds past him into the kitchen. ]

Mind if I watch? Can I help?

[personal profile] bumbumbum 2013-01-01 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't trust it.

[He watched the fruitcake like somebody would watch a tap-dancing cat: something that was odd and completely unexpected, and yet very fascinating.]

[personal profile] bumbumbum 2013-01-01 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Klarion paused. He doubted Zatanna would like him with an axe...which really, was all the more reason to do it.]

I would! [He reached out to take the axe from Bond.]
doubleoohbaby: (sneaky silhouette)

[personal profile] doubleoohbaby 2013-01-01 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I imagine they'll be back eventually. I've been trying to get a feel from them as of late with little luck. Blood elusive bastards. [Which James doesn't seem too annoyed by. Impressed, if anything. He can appreciate some good secrecy.]
doubleoohbaby: (o rly thats interesting)

[personal profile] doubleoohbaby 2013-01-01 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Lemon meringue will do. [Go get, slave.]
doubleoohbaby: (highbrow eyebrow)

[personal profile] doubleoohbaby 2013-01-01 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[James is a firm believer that kids should be allowed to play with sharp and dangerous items. They soon learn what does and doesn't hurt. He sure as hell did when he was younger.]

Here. [He lets the axe slide through his hands until he's gripping right by the head, offering out the worn handle towards Klarion.] Firm grip, it's heavier than you'd think for.

[Oh man.] I'm glad you like them! And just a place off [some street and some store name].
centralsgreatest: (heeey)

[personal profile] centralsgreatest 2013-01-02 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I know where that is! [ He knows where everything is. That happens when you travel as fast as he does. ]

Sweet. I know what I'm doing on the way home.

[Spike intends to do the knock-knock ditch thing, but his timing is off and well-- he turns around, a few yards away from her doorstep.]

Happy Holidays. [There's a half-smoked cigarette hanging out of his mouth, and a real hog waiting for him just beyond her greenery. The world may never know if he stole this one, too, but at least it's not as rickety as the scooter. He looks tired. And when she looks down he placed these on her doorstep.

But he doesn't turn away just yet, hanging there; letting his cigarette burns as he waits to see her reaction, gaze open and ready for rejection.]
