Owner	Pose
Batman	At the entrance to Wayne Manor, Bruce Wayne, wearing a long woolen coat, black turtleneck and slacks. His platinum watch shines and he blows plumes of icy breath as he affixes the last. Yes, technically, Alfred could do this and he does do most of the decorating. But putting the wreath on the gates has always been Bruce's job, since he was four years old. He thinks a Christmas thought a bout his parents for a long moment. "I spent a lot of holidays alone here. Well, never fully alone, of course. Alfred's as faithful as a watchhound and, frankly, more likely to bite. But other than that..." He turns and looks at the unlikely people along with him today, "I'm glad to have you here. I know I'm not prone to saying such things. But deal with it," he says with a hint of a smile.
Harley Quinn	Harley Quinn She Doesn't have her hammer right now, but her outfit is crazy to wear on such a cold day. Then again, Harley's not quite human anymore. She doesn't feel temperature changes like other people, So she's outside looking around.. Right now, she runs past Bruce being all stoic and stuff to Leap.. Boom.. an explosion of snow blaps the side of his face!      Meanwhile, somebody is making all kinds of giggles as she's making snow angels " Come on, brucie help me make a family of em! "
Batman	Bruce Wayne keeps his hands in the pockets of his coat for now as he goes over to watch Harley thrash around in the thick fall of snow outside the fenceline. He has had to expand his definitions of acceptable a bit to have Harley around and part of the group, but he thinks it's worthwhile. There's a brilliant mind in there and she can do a lot of good. And she's a victim of his worst enemy, first and foremost. He owes her for that. Because Bruce always believes he should have stopped them. Especially him. "Try not to expose yourself too much. Old Mrs. Carmody down the road will send me a nasty note if she sees your anatomy out her window," he says, gesturing towards a huge mansion halfway down the road.
Harley Quinn	Pops back up way to fast and easy for a girl as she grins evilly " Really? " She then looks over " HEY OLD LADY.. KISS MAH CHEEKS! " She turns around and presents Cold Reddened bottom before she laughs and moves to hug bruce and kiss his cheek " Come on, it's Christmas.. it's about having fun! " She giggles. "If ya don't get cold, what's da point of drinking the hot coco? " She looks at bruce with a smirk!      She has been a lot happier these days.. her own woman.. well, sorta, she's been hanging out with the bat family, and she kinda loves it. She's still in between, and she's been keeping her promise to bruce of no killing.. but slowly, she's becoming Harley.. just harley .
Batman	Bruce Wayne is very grateful that Alfred did not attend this particular ritual of Bruce's this year. He was off in town, taking the day off before the holiday season formally begins on the 20th. Bruce insists, especially as he's gotten older, that Alfred have his own life, his own affairs. He doesn't want his mentor to live only for him and the makeshift family he's built. He's seen the growth in Harley and been happy for it. It's complicated, yes, but all of his relationships are complicated. "She already thinks I'm a degenerate anyway, so I suppose it doesn't really hurt," he says. "There's cold and then there's frostbite, Harley. We don't all have your advantages."
Harley Quinn	Harley Quinn Laughs " You can always go to another world, eat a Kryptonian pill and then Love up a plant lady, and you can be like me " She strikes a silly pose!      she grins " besides, I thought you had your I'm Mr Stoic .. I'm too broody and dark for the cold to affect me " she gives that square jaw grumping look on her face. .
Batman	Bruce Wayne shakes his head, "Hell, I wonder how I never thought of that," he says, stroking his square jaw as he listens to her teasing. "I prefer to call it Resting Bat Face," he teases.
Selina Kyle	There was talk about a party, and while Selina and Bruce have a rather..Complicated history, it has been a while since they had a chance to catch up. It took her a while to decide whether or not to come, and then what to wear, and then what to bring, but in the end she arrived in a royal blue gown, adorned with crystal earrings and matching shoes and a pendant. Nothing super expensive, but elegant and classy all the same. Lately, she's been trying to behave, taking most of her thieving business to another city at least, helping Batman out whenever she can. So much for secrets. As the door to the taxi opens, she steps out, one graceful leg at a time, carrying a medium sized box wrapped in silver and green wrapping under one arm. When the taxi leaves, she strides slowly, purposefully towards the lovely mansion, peering up at it thoughtfully before hesitantly knocking on the door..
Harley Quinn	Harley Quinn Jaw drops and just STARES "d,d,dd,d,did you just crack a joke " She slaps her cheeks home alone style " It is Christmas! " .. She of course, hears the doorbell and peers over " You expecting somebody? " She looks to bruce.      She leaps into the air and jumps onto the fence, and starts to run along it toward the front of the house " I'll Go cheek! " she shouts, knowing full well having Harley answer the door is the last thing he wants.
Batman	Bruce Wayne was about to shout to Selina that they were down by the gate when Harley, of course, takes off like a shot before he can get a word out. He did make a joke. He's maybe as close to content as he's ever been. If only some of the others would come home. He knew they would, in time. Maybe not this year. Maybe it's time he did some reaching out instead. "Selina!" he calls, reminding himself to have a word with that car service about dropoffs and pickups. Right to the door was not the standard protocol. There were probably five alarms going off in the Cave right now. Not that anyone out here would hear them. "Watch out for Harley, she's Christmas cra---happy!"
Selina Kyle	Selina Kyle pauses just outside the gate, peering back at the super hyper Harley running her way. Yeah, it's been a long while since she's been here, and by taxi no less. She arches a brow at any alarms that might start to go off..But with Harley probably about to tackle her, all eyes are on her for the moment. "Hey, Harley. Great to see you again.." She arches a brow at Bruce and smiles, nodding to him. "Hey, sorry I'm late. Got something for you both.." oh, she has another present for Harley hidden in that fancy bag of her's.
Harley Quinn	Harley Quinn Sometimes she's predictable, yep.. Tackle snugs are on the menu in the extra snuggly department, so yes she tackles snugs the other woman " Selina," she says brightly and laughs, " Come make snow angles with me.. bruce is being a stick in da mud ".
Selina Kyle	Selina Kyle laughs as she hugs the other woman back, arching a brow at the suggestion. "Snow angels..In a gown. In the snow. Maybe later, if I can find something more..Comfortable?" she wraps the fur shrug more tightly around her shoulders. It's not super cold out tonight, but her outfit is clearly too expensive to be rolling around in the snow. "Besides I've got some gifts to drop off, I'll check in on you in a few okay?" She smiles and nods, letting go of Harley, moving towards Bruce with a warmer smile. "How have you been? It's been a while, as always. I hear you're being a stick in the mud..Not like that's news really.."
