(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.]

The City's great! [ He straightens just so, the sort of posture afforded a teammate more than a hot babe. Besides, he thinks Batman probably has dibs anyway. ]

It's a lot like Central, you know? Lots of people, plenty to do.
themysciran: (★ eager;)

It does feel like home in that way. [He needs to regale her with tales of DCAU Batman, to be honest.] Another similarity is the number of crises we have to deal with, unfortunately.
centralsgreatest: (looking heroic)

[personal profile] centralsgreatest 2013-01-16 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
We can deal with those. If there's one thing I know it's that when we work together, the League can do anything.
themysciran: (★ smug;)

Different universes are nothing compared to what we've already faced.
centralsgreatest: (heeey)

[personal profile] centralsgreatest 2013-01-17 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
We've already faced different universes! At least in my world we have.
themysciran: (★ exasperation;)

[personal profile] themysciran 2013-01-18 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
The knowledge that you have experience with this type of situation is comforting.
centralsgreatest: (and that's why I'm awesome)

Compared to the Justice Lords the City is a piece of cake.

themysciran: (★ convincing;)

[personal profile] themysciran 2013-01-24 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
The Justice Lords? Is it wise to ask about them?
centralsgreatest: (srs face)

[personal profile] centralsgreatest 2013-01-24 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Justice League gone dark side from another universe. [ That's a 'I don't know if it's wise but I'm going to tell you anyway'. Wally likes to save time that way. ]

They found their way to our universe and tried to trade.
themysciran: (★ calm;)

[personal profile] themysciran 2013-01-25 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Something similar happened to the League in my universe, as well. There was an attempt to right the other world, but it was simply the nature of that universe for evil to prevail, and we couldn't do anything to change it.
centralsgreatest: (uh oh)

[personal profile] centralsgreatest 2013-01-25 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
No kidding? Did Supes kill Luthor there too?
themysciran: (★ acceptance;)

[personal profile] themysciran 2013-01-29 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
Luthor was actually a decent man, if you can believe it. It was a universe in which each individual's personality was the direct opposite of ours.
centralsgreatest: (sadface)

[personal profile] centralsgreatest 2013-01-29 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
That's wild. Man, alternate universes are weird.
themysciran: (★ indulgence;)

[personal profile] themysciran 2013-01-30 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
I can't dispute that. It's always so different from our own. [And even the tiniest dissimilarity is glaringly obvious in a certain light.]
