Video; In which cold weather is clearly the best!

[Everyone gets to see two familiar faces this time, with a couple of twists. Dick (the elder) is sitting down in the chair, wearing a bright red coat with white trim, a hat of the same color, and of course, a beard to match the whole thing. It’s pulled down, though, so you can see his face. And his wonderful assistant, Zatanna, is standing behind him, dressed up like the most beautiful elf there is. They’re both looking pretty happy about this.]

It’s getting cold out! And what does cold mean? Holiday fun, of course. So I, and my amazing elf assistant here, have decided that Santa Claus needs to come to the turtle. [See what he did there? See it? Okay, good.]

And so it is with pleasure that we let everyone know-- [He gets cut off as Zatanna leans forward, and he looks up at her.]

[The fifteen-year-old elf bends down until she's level with his ear, covering her mouth so she could whisper something secretively to him.]

Really?

[She nods, and offers a playful wink.] Trust me. I know a guy who knows the guy personally.

[Dick looks back at the screen, and his voice drops into a perfect, heavy Russian accent.] Is this better?

[She practically has to bite her tongue to keep from bursting out laughing. Impressive. She should've known.] It'll do.

[Dick grins.] I’d like to invite everyone to come over to the Wood sector, where we have a little holiday party going on.

[He stops, laughing and shaking his head. He has to drop the Russian accent.] Okay, I can’t keep that one up, but I tried! Anyway, we’ve got a small thing going on in a café in the Wood sector, with some cakes and gingerbread-ish things, and some hot drinks. And what would Santa be without his...

[He holds up a huge, red velvet-like bag.] Bag, yes! And it is filled with little odds and ends, so there are presents for all!

[Dick sets the bag down, and pulls the beard back up with a grin.] And to all, a good... day? Yeah, that still works. To all, a good day! Remember, café in the Wood sector, we’ll be here awhile!

[ooc: Action is absolutely welcome.]

[physically wincing at the video. wow. this is...wow.]

Can you promise me I won't die of a social meltdown if I go?

[He isn't sure if he should laugh or cry or just burry his hands into his face but just wow.]

[Now here's an unmasked face she doesn't immediately recognize. Which was a shame, because there were so many welcome to the family jokes that would gone uncracked. For now.]

If I say 'yes', will you come?

[He can't handle being in an extended family of people below age 60...]

I might be more reassured.
backwordscompatible: (he wanted to party okay)

[Does it help if he thinks of the fact that she and Dick are technically both over 60 by his time?]

Very enthusiastic.

We might even get a smile out of you yet.

[It doesn't help at all no. It's actually super creepy.]

I'd call myself a Scrooge, but I'm not nearly rich enough to back it up. Or old or delusional.

Yeah I know - it's the miracle of makeup.

[He can give it to Bruce........ok no he won't do that, out of fear of being hit with it.]

First sign of a wrinkle, and I know who I'm coming to. You'd make a fortune sharing your secret with the Turtle.

Sorry, not for sale. I intend to look good while all of you get old and pruned up.

I think it's an accomplishment being so consistently horrible that a fat guy goes through the effort to put coal in a sock for me.

...Joni Mitchell. Right.

[Who the hell is Joni Mitchell. He feels like he should come with a warning sign "won't understand references from before 2030".]

Well, you figured out my holiday plan so if the secret's out I'll think about swinging by. As long as you don't start singing Christmas songs or anything.

[Almost all music is now autotune and dubstep. Good luck.]

Free food and my ears will be spared. ...Are you going to be wearing that getup all day though?

[It's weird to see a somewhat older (not crazy old, but just the right amount) and cheerful Dick Grayson, there doesn't need to be anymore weird added on.]

Killer. [The enthusiasm in his voice is striking in how dead it is.] Fine, I'll come, but I'm not looking at you dressed like that. No offense dude.

[Don't worry Dick, you have. Just not for another...few decades, judging from appearance.]

Name's Terry. And I'll pass on the blindfold - I can take the pain.

[Despite words, Terry's tone is noticeably a little more upbeat. He isn't a total stick in the mud after all.]

[Man, seeing Dick Grayson smile just ups the discomfort factor. His face doesn't betray anything to match his thoughts, but to think...]

I'll take that plate of cookies off your hands, if Santa is willing to part with his midnight snack.

Ten minutes. [He repeats to himself, feigning a speculative tone.] Those are minutes I will never have again, but for cookies it'll be worth the sacrifice. Not too crowded over there for one more?
