Cookies!

The buildings were made out of cookies!

Mr. Bubbles observed that it was strange that cookie-buildings managed to stay warm but Alluka was more enthused about nibbling and trying to figure out what to wear.

What went with cookies?

Other than everything, obviously.

Demon Marcus is Open!

Sparkle had been more than a little bit out of it since last weekend, but it occurred to him today that it had been a while since he'd checked in on any of his employees. And given how last weekend had gone...

Well, now that he was upright and pretending to be a functional human being again, he was making his way in to the Demon Marcus and seeking out his littlest diva. And if he had a pair of hot chocolates in hand, hey, you needed something to rinse down that gingerbread with, right?

"Knock knock! Anybody home?"

She was never going to turn down chocolate...

"I'm here! I'm here!" she said, waving her, well. Her boa at him from the counter. "We're having a gingerbread party!"

... don't look too hard at the door leading to the back room, Sparkle.

"The whole island looks like it's having a gingerbread party today," Sparkle laughed, lifting one of the drinks toward her in a pseudo wave. "Pretty awesome, huh? Did you save me any?"

Doors were overrated anyhow. Just so long as she wasn't taking apart a load-bearing wall or something, Sparkle was cool with this.

"I can share," she said, beaming. "Or, or there's more of the door."

He could have his own giant piece of door if he really wanted.

Mmmm, delicious door.

"You know, I think I will totally help myself to some door," Sparkle laughed. "But I'm going to need someone who can help me with this extra hot chocolate, if I do. Two was enough for me before the gingerbread, but it's gonna be way too much after, you know?"

She giggled.

"I think I have room for hot chocolate," she said hopefully.

"Room for hot chocolate and extra whipped cream?"

Sparkle had to be absolutely sure, okay?

“I always have room for that,” she assured him earnestly.

It was true. Alluka’s sweets capacity was quite… large.

"Well then," Sparkle made a big show of holding out the cup to her with a little flourish, "it's all yours, kiddo."

And it was one of the big ones, too!

“Thank you! Thank you!” she squealed, taking the hot chocolate delightedly. “Are you having the same? Did I do okay, taking it from the inside door? I thought, maybe, that if I took from the other door it would get cold so… so I didn’t.”

That had been right, right?

"You're welcome," Sparkle replied, smiling warmly. Aw, kid. You were his favourite kid. "And yeah, you did good. I'd rather have you taking from a door that doesn't do anything than something that keeps the cold out, or the ceiling from falling on us. Anyway, I bet that door is delicious."

He grinned, made sure he wasn't about to sit on anything important, and then hiked his butt up onto the counter.

"So, how're you doing today, Alluka?"

Alluka set down her hot chocolate and busied herself with getting Sparkle a plate of cookie-door. She’d managed to get it broken down in to pieces that were easy enough to pick up and eat by now, which made it easier. She set the plate down by him.

“I’m okay,” she said, all big, earnest eyes. She was usually okay, admittedly. “The island’s been doing fun stuff, and I like that.”

Sparkle gave her a little smile as he reached for one of the more manageable pieces of door.

"Fun stuff, huh? I've missed some of that, I think. Wasn't feeling so well after last weekend." You know. For reasons. "What was your favourite fun thing so far?"

“I didn’t like the funny drink that came out of the taps,” she said thoughtfully. “But everything else has been fun. Can I favourite them all?”

Sparkle almost choked on his hot chocolate. Oh, shit, he'd forgotten about the mulled crap from the taps. Which was kind of sad, because it had been a pain in the ass to cook around, and all.

"Sure," he said, wiping a dribble of rogue chocolate from his chin. "I think 'them all' is a pretty good answer. Getting excited for Christmas, then?"
