Wonder Girl has posed:
You'd have to be in Orlando to see any more princesses all in once spot. Though Upstate New York doesn't have as many rollercoasters and theme rides. Those princesses may or may not be as comfy as at least Cassie is on a couch. But then she can get away with jeans and a dorky Christmas Sweater in Wonder-Chick stylings. There's people actually designing these things. Most of the proceeds go to charity.

On the big scree, despite it being a little past Christmas now, the greatest Christmas Movie Ever is on screen.

The time honored classic that is Die Hard. playing. A bowl of popcorn with an unhealthy amount of butter melted over it.

Starfire has posed:
     Kori is also here.. In a Big T-Shirt .. nothing else but a T-shirt is progress for her! She's also floating as she's watching the movie along with the others and has a floating disk with her bowl of popcorn on it.. cause she floats a lot, so Cyborg made her a floating disk.. she loves it a lot!

     She Looks down at Cassie." I must ask.. where are all the heroes while this is going on? "

Raven has posed:
Being a princess of demons didn't exactly mark Rachel as the most upbeat of princesses. Her hair down, her usual hoodie around her shoulders and a distinct lack of any christmas or new years decoration on her form, Raven floated her own way down to the couch, mug in hand and settling down wordlessly.

She was here, she was present and watching the movie with the others...an attempt was being made.

Wonder Girl has posed:
That is a good question posed by Kori. This movie is really old now. Well over forty years. "Was anyone even active as a hero in the nineteen eighties? Though even now, were still can't be everywhere at once. This is LA too and everyone tends towards New York or Metropolis.

With Raven plunking down with the other princesses, Cassie offers some of her own popcorn. Between her and Kori's floating bowl there is a whole lot.

On screeen McClane just threw a body at Powell's car on street level and took a shot at it.

"Welcome to the party, Pal!"

Starfire has posed:
     Kori knows her bestie, so she just floats down, gives a little hip bump and a big smile at her, and then floats back up . She knows to let raven adjust for a bit before you hit her with the hugs and stuff.

     " I don't know. I wasn't on this planet back then," she says honestly, trying to think, " But I know we have lots of La heroes. Is there not booster gold in LA? I heard he's the right kind of vain for that place.

Raven has posed:
"A lot happens in the world at once," Raven points out from where she sits, sipping her mug and actually proving she wasn't mute while she claims a scoop of popcorn. "That's why there's still police, SWAT teams...we can't be everywhere Star. Maybe it's just one of those?"

A shrug, having apparently pointed out reality in a fiction movie, she returns to her drink. Still, the fact she hadn't brought a book with her was a heck of a concession

Wonder Girl has posed:
There's a chuckle from Cassie and she snacks on greasy corn soaked in butter. Thankfully her divine heritage kicked in at the right time so she gets to enjoy all the benefits of a horrible diet. She finsishes most of her own mouthful and adds. Though not everything was swallowed.

"Hell, back then, none of us existed. Immortality doesn't go in reverse. I think. I gotta check if I have stupid ass time powers I gotta watch for. Bad enough I need my lasso so we don't get thunderstorms outside.

She does go on on point though. "A cat in a tree doesn't need a Kryptonian to rescue it after all. Lot more goes on at that level we don't even get a look in."

Starfire has posed:
     Blinks and floats upside down " Wait were not supposed to help cats out of trees? " She frowns " But robin said no matter what job we do.. anything to help fellow people is worth doing.. no matter how big or small "

Raven has posed:
"We should," Raven offers in her own dry tone, another sip taken. "But if Doomsday is rampaging downtown, we can let someone else save the cat while we deal with the rampaging super monster."

Back towards Cassie and she shrugs her hoodie-clad shoulders. "Yeah. Imagine having to constantly keep your powers in check carefully..."

Was that a joke? Well...as close as Raven could come.

Wonder Girl has posed:
"Not gonna lie. If it's Doomsday. Maybe we should go find more cats." It's healthy to know your limits. "We can cheerlead from the sidelines. Nothing cowardly there when it's that guy. If I went up on him. He'd probably just drag me along by my lasso like a big mastiff or something" she mimics the being dragged, or at least her arm being yanked.

"Alas Ray, our powers are bullshit. When our dads are allfathers. Who knows what the crap we can do but don't know yet? And all they gonna give is is a shrug and an 'Ehh, you'll figure it out."

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r Blinks and thinks " I would still fight " She thinks for a moment " I agree with cassie.. I think our butts would be meat grindings " she nods as if she said the saying correctly .. " He is world ending force.. that is not something many can take on alone "

Raven has posed:
Truer words never spoken, Raven's purple painted lips actually tug up to a small smile in agreement, a murmered shrug before she looks back to Koriand'r. "My point stands though. Besides," she lifts a hand to point towards the screen. "Apparently a normal guy with a machine gun does fine in this situation. It's like Robin...but with less hair and more swearing and bullets."

Wonder Girl has posed:
The blonde nods her head. "Totally. Only place we should be grinding out butts is when dancing!" she encourages that with her friends on the couch.

The movie progresses and it's the delightful Alan Rickman's Hans Gruber saying the law and media circus gathering down out in the parking lot is part of the plan.

"So Red Hood then?" she says playfully. She's pretty certain he isn't going bald though.

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r Looks over ' Red hood looks better and is bigger " she adds her own comment .. " I would date red hood ... this man is not that attractive " she admits . She smiles at rachel agreeing with her as she thinks " I still wonder if there was no heros back then.. seems odd " .

Raven has posed:
Maybe Damian, if he inherits his grandfather's hairline...but Rachel doesn't comment on that one, instead there's just yet another sip of her drink and a shrug, not wanting to try and reason her way around a movie that would be a -lot- shorter if Superman turned up in the first act.

Back to Koriadn'r, Raven raises an eyebrow. "You mean you're not dating anyone at the moment?"

Wonder Girl has posed:
Cassie chuckles. "I hear Demi Moore is still killing it." she says and lets out a playfull woof. "Willis looks better here than he does now. But his health also took a huge dive over the years." she states and chuckles.

As for Kori dating the blonde's lips stay in a playful grin. "Have any of us had time for a relationship? Hookups don't count." she points that query out on a wider area of coverage.

Raven has posed:
"No." Raven says, perhaps a little too bluntly in her position. Her mug still clutched two-handed and a shake of her head. Maybe people weren't into the gloomy goth look....or more likely, Raven wasn't the most social of creatures outside the titans after all.

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r blinks " Not since I broke up with robin " She admits and thinks for a while " She opens her mouth and closes it " hook ups don't count " she frowns " Then no that was the last time it wasn't a hook up as you say "

Wonder Girl has posed:
"Thankfully hookups keep a dry spell just a little damp where it needs it." Cassie reassures that they aren't a bad thing. But even she hasn't had time for boyfriends or girlfriends. Being a hero, and a full time grad student kind of eats up time when she could be eating other things. "This is what's known as Friends with Benefits Kori!" she explains the concept. "Friends help you move. Good friends help you feel the Earth move." she says with more of a giggle.

Raven has posed:
"Uh-huh," Raven offers, a little shift in her seat given about the only hint that she got the meaning and mischievious intention at Cassie's words before rolling her eyes and taking another sip of her drink. Of course, that wasn't really going to help much, given her cup was very much already empty.

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r Looks over and starts to float over towards the kitchen.. once ot get herself a drink and to get a refill for raven.. but she looks over " Want a drink cassie ? " She lets cassie work on raven, she's pretty sure whats going down and honestly as long as she's included she's happy

Wonder Girl has posed:
"Oh god I could do with a refill, yes!" she says and hands her bowl of popcorn to Raven. Leaning down to the floor, hunched over enough the hem of her Dorky Christmas Wonder Sweater threatens to show off more than her lower back. A big plastic cup on the ground that had some cola in it.

She'd have totally picked up after herself later, totally.

"No shame when it's found out. We're about as close as friends get here anyway even when some of the Titans aren't banging. The closeness is more important. The hook ups are just bonus funsies. It's why we're here instead of with our biological families." Demons, Gods, Alien Wannabe Tyrants. Dealing with them is half of why the Titans stick together.

The family you choose is often way better than the family you didn't.
