WHO: The Batfamily, and friends of the Batfamily! WHERE: Cass and Charlie's house. WHEN: Christmas Eve WARNINGS: None! SUMMARY: It's Christmas, so that means another Bat-get-together. FORMAT: whatever you want
[Your Santa hat is nothing compared to Cass's horrible Christmas sweater! She'd found it among some of the stuff Steph had left behind, and it's truly a sight to behold: bright red, with Rudolf on the front and some kind of sparkly fake-jewel for his nose. And all kinds of glitter to simulate snow.]
[ Somehow fashion disasters tend to go hand in hand with holidays in this family. He'll make room for her on the sofa without even really glancing at what's she's wearing. ]
[Cass will plop down next to him, feeling a little worn out from all the festivities anyway. All this socializing was waaaay harder than fighting, in her opinion.]
Yeah. Good old wholesome family values. [ He's grinning when he says it. The socializing's been pretty great for him, momentary downtime notwithstanding. ]
[ Well there’s a sudden proximity he wasn’t expecting. He grabs for the present pretty much on instinct, then works at not tensing while he turns it over and looks for a tag. ]
Am I gonna want to hear the end of this story or is that my cue to bow out?
[ Not that he really has plans to either way. He turns the gift over again and then shakes it a little dubiously. Really, what. ]
[ Bomb-in-a-box would be a little subtle for Jason's style. Whatever reason he has for being here, it isn't that.
He tears the paper off and holds the tube socks up at eye level. ...Welp. ] For me?
[ Don't mind him, he'll just... toe off the too-formal shoes he's wearing, and then those ugly, pea green, argyle socks. Off goes the plastic wrap, and on go a brand new, clean, white set. ]

That kid... wants a gun for Christmas?

There's a point though, I swear. You'll like it.

Oh, and also Jason's taking a seat on the couch, totally taking up more room than is strictly necessary.]
I think this movie was playing when I went to sleep last night.

There's no story. And it's a gift. Generally you open those.
[Granted it's a terrible gift, but uhh.]

You shouldn't have.

[There's an utterly flat expression on Jason's face, so if he's joking or lying it'll be a little hard to tell.]

Who's the girl?

[That's all the information Dick will be getting for now.]
