(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.]

[Look, it's not his fault that everybody in Limbo Town is blue. Looking at the sprinkles, Klarion frowned. He then looked across the table at the icing. Gesturing towards the icing, he levitated the green towards him. This one would be wearing green pants.]

I don't sing.

And Zatanna makes it thrice.

I am being agreeable! [So indignant at the mere suggestion that he's not.]
doubleoohbaby: (old dog new tricks)

[personal profile] doubleoohbaby 2013-01-06 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
She does get rather excitable at this time of year. Can't be helped, I suppose. Best to just bear with it.
doubleoohbaby: (microscopic admiration)

[personal profile] doubleoohbaby 2013-01-06 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Sigh! Shoving the axe aside for the moment.] Darling, we'll do whatever you want to this holiday. I want you to be happy.
invoking: commission. (songs of your symmetry.)

[ He could never act on "urges" like that. He's too shy and too well, self-conscious and carried very little self-worth. Dalia's the closest he might have gotten... but... she did try to murder him after.

So yeah.

But Zee's approval makes him smile a little. ]


I'm glad.

A mage, yes? (he pauses for a moment before looking back at the gingerbread version of her before switching colors.) An Imperial Mage would do you well.

(he does give her quite the serious look.) Those seeking your hand will always have objection.

I respectfully decline.

(It's a little too quickly said before he practically shoves it back at her.)

By all means.

[Oh. It's that time already is it?]

Look, whatever I say now won't make any difference. You hear what you want to hear too bloody often. [Another sip of coffee and then putting it on the pile of already split wood before reaching for his axe and going in for another swing and slice.] I'd love to go somewhere with you after the holidays.

[personal profile] bumbumbum 2013-01-06 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Or hide. [Klarion piped up, looking over at Bond. After all, that was what they were doing.]

[personal profile] bumbumbum 2013-01-06 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes please! [Oh yay, hot chocolate. Grinning, he starts to work on another cookie. It isn't obvious at first what this one is: it's using a lot of black and white and generally looks kind of blobby.]
onetouch: (this tea is posioned)

LMAO KLARION

[personal profile] onetouch 2013-01-06 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Woman's... [His lips drew into a thin line. He wasn't offended so much as. Okay he was a little offended.] You can wait in the other room, then.
doubleoohbaby: (that's what SHE said)

[personal profile] doubleoohbaby 2013-01-06 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Now now. We're not hiding. We're being useful. [This kid still had so much to learn :|]

SORRY. :C

[personal profile] bumbumbum 2013-01-06 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Klarion's face fell. Waiting in the other room = no food!] No, no I can stay in here.

[personal profile] bumbumbum 2013-01-06 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Aaah, I get it. Because we're doing something slightly useful, we have claim to say that we're being useful.
onetouch: (chuck | baking up some good times)

[personal profile] onetouch 2013-01-06 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[He raises an eyebrow.] You speak dog, now?

[Ned doesn't believe the other man for an instant, but he just points back to the pantry.] Could you get the cinnamon?
onetouch: (from across the room)

[personal profile] onetouch 2013-01-06 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[He laughed, once. Not a genuine sound.] At least you're honest.
onetouch: (❦in the swing of things)

[personal profile] onetouch 2013-01-06 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[He blinks, a few times. Then tries to keep any condescension out of his tone when he says,] It's a bit more complicated than that.
onetouch: (you don't say)

[personal profile] onetouch 2013-01-06 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course. [He frowns.] How have you been?
onetouch: (chuck | amid the chaos)

[personal profile] onetouch 2013-01-06 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[He snorts, humorlessly.] It's good to hope, but it's better to be certain.
onetouch: (ball your fist)

[personal profile] onetouch 2013-01-06 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Then you won't mind grabbing some flour and rolling out the dough. [He's pushing Klarion by the shoulders into the counter, gently, there's a rolling pin and a batch of dough, pre-made for him to roll out and stamp into gingerpeople. or gingerdogs.]
