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.]

You are imposing your own human view on the matter and accepting it is the standard to which all others must be held. Relationships are not ordinarily considered an emotional outlet for my people. Indeed, Vulcans wish to indulge none.

[ 'Tell me what you need.'
'I need everyone to continue performing admirably.'


Though he does care for Nyota, he wouldn't want to put that on display beyond their private quarters, and even then ...

'I see you making choices that ignore all sense of self-preservation.'
'I do not understand your concerns. I will attempt to alleviate them as circumstances require.'

'I'll join you on the bridge. It's the only time I ever see you anymore.'

'I'm not here to cuddle, Spock.'


He tilts his head at the girl on the screen thoughtfully. ]


May I ask your name?

Normally, you'd be right. But you just admitted she's human too.

Technically, doesn't that mean I might have a better chance of knowing how she might feel about the situation? I mean, if she's supposed to be so understanding of the whole Vulcan thing...shouldn't it go both ways?

[A shrug. Just her opinion. Take it or leave it.]

You may. It's Zatanna.

No, because you do not know her. I cannot compromise the values I have held important since birth, nor would she require it.

[ That's why they work, mostly. A lot of understanding and space on Nyota's side. ]

I am Spock.

Fine. If you say so.

[The whole conversation was becoming increasingly frustrating for her. She couldn't imagine having an entire relationship with someone so...distant. And that was saying something, considering who she was dating. But Dick could be extremely affectionate whenever she managed to capture his attention. Even when he wasn't around, she still had those memories with her to prove that he really did care.]

[And she had always been a physical person in her own right; even her father, cold and proper as he often appeared on the outside, tended to give the warmest hugs.]


Nice to meet you, Spock. I think.

I'm guessing you won't be joining in on our celebration?

[ One wonders why anybody actively tries to date a Vulcan, but there are ... payoffs. Very, very secret payoffs. BANGING SEX. ]

I will not, though I wish you a satisfying evening of celebration.

[TMI TMI]

Thanks.

Though I'm sure it'll be more than just satisfying. I plan to actually have fun.

If you believe it is an inevitable outcome, may you also fulfill your plans.

Well, they're his plans, too--[She teasingly indicates back towards Dick]--you know, in case anybody asks later on.

[Definitely sharing the blame credit on this one.]
