tushanshu | 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.]

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.

[Bruce does not need any more weapons, tyvm.]

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

[Oh if only Zatanna knew how true that statement is...]

Now that's just cruel.

I am a regular on the naughty list, just for the record.

And so proud of this fact, too.

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.

How do you know he's actually fat?

Going by some of the stories I've heard, it's mostly muscle.

How do you know it's mostly muscle?

[Who died and made you the Santa expert Zee??]

Oh, you know. I know a guy who knows the guy, and I've heard stories.

Wow, that sure sounds reliable to me. [A small laugh.] I won't fight you on it. A muscle jock Santa is a pretty funny image.

Tell me about it.

I kind of wish he could be here in person, just so I could see him for myself.

Hey, he'd make a believer out of me for sure.

Really? No epic denial even in the face of overwhelmingly muscular proof?

There's hope for you yet.

It's the rule of cool. I can't deny it even if I wanted to and I definitely don't.

Doesn't the fact that you're actually abiding by rules sort of negate the 'cool' part?

Hey, following the rules can be cool some of the time. This is a rare one percent exception. Just deal with it.

But what if I'm feeling rebellious and don't want to?

[Now she's just being a brat for the sake of being a brat.]

[zatanna pls]

Who said it was a debatable option?

[You please]

Who said it wasn't?

Well now you're just being stubborn. Which is the point I take it.

It's like you know me already.

Half a point for you.

Only a half? Now I'm feeling insulted.

The day is young. You want that other half? Earn it.

Hm...nah, I'll pass. Half a point is better than nothing - I'm not an overachiever.
