[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.]

[OBLIVIOUS FRIENDLY BANTER]

Well, I'll leave that up to your judgement.

(because that's a good idea.)

I dunno, Earth's gotta impress me.

What does it take to impress you, then?

Maybe not keeping us hostage and banning us from countries, for a start.

Those are certainly points against Earth, but we're trying to right things. Perhaps I'll work even harder now to reverse that law, so you won't have such a terrible opinion of the planet.

... And you have that sort of sway? (he's hesitant because that never ever works in his favor.)

Not quite. [At least, in this particular universe.] But I don't mind a little challenge.

Y'know what? We got a deal. (it'll never happen, right?)

[it totally could.]

In the meantime, perhaps I should visit you -- simply to see what you have up there that's far superior to what Earth has to offer.

You know what? When you want to come up, you let me know. There's so much that's better. (it's a pity really, that han can't see it because he's stuck in Earth's orbit.)

Oh, I've been. There was a point when space was almost a second home to me. [A beat.] But it has been a while since I've flown up there.

Come up some time, I'll show you around. (and maybe his ship.

his actual ship.)
