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.]

I'm not really sure. My mood can be a bit fickle like that.

But feel free to keep trying. I'll let you know when you're getting warm.
shorttempered: ([Mark] So bored....)

Oh come on, you have to give me something to work with here...

Well...you could start by stopping by for a bit.

I plan on it, once I figure out what exactly Dick wants from me. I think he wants me to tape a leaf and something resembling a berry to a stick and call it holly.

Word of advice? Just do what he says. He's way too into the whole Christmas Spirit thing right now to be trolling you.
shorttempered: ([Mark] You mean...)

Oh I'm taking him seriously. I'm just starting to doubt he has ever seen holly before, even in pictures.
backwordscompatible: (proud)

Does that really matter?

[personal profile] shorttempered 2013-12-26 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, because he's making me seriously confused.
backwordscompatible: (Considering)

Well...maybe I can help. I do believe in the expression great minds think alike, after all.

What part about him is so confusing to you?
shorttempered: ([Mark] Not gonna happen)

[personal profile] shorttempered 2013-12-27 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Just... how have you never seen Holly before? It's everywhere at Christmas!
backwordscompatible: (THIS much)

[She shrugged]

Maybe not so much in the world he comes from? You never know what weird difference there could be.
shorttempered: ([Mark] Oh you know... stuff)

I guess... I just sort of assumed most of the Earth holidays were universal. They seemed to be, at any rate.
backwordscompatible: (he wanted to party okay)

The holidays themselves might be, but not so much the details.

Either that, or he's purposely messing with you.
shorttempered: ([Mark] Furrowed brow)

Really? Now I'm curious to know the differences...

I wouldn't put that past anyone, either.
