Decking the Halls and All That Jazz

[http://users.livejournal.com/_kip_/]

The Justice League Watchtower has a highly sophisticated comm system that can send messages to individuals, to separate rooms, to separate floors or to the whole place. Right now, the entire system is activated. An emergency? Not quite. There is holiday music being played, from Vince Guaraldi to Nat King Cole to Ella Fitzgerald, classics all. And in the dining hall, a towering spruce tree has been erected. Atop a ladder, a young man sings along with the music as he carefully feels his way along the tree to hang lights. His usual attire of slacks and a neatly pressed shirt has been exchanged for jeans and a sweater with a red-nosed reindeer knitted into the fabric. Looks handmade, too.

Across a table near the front are at least eight pies of different sorts: fruit, chocolate, pumpkin, chess. Homemade, from the looks of it. A basket nearby seems to be brimming with cookies, too, and beside that basket are a few hot beverage dispensers labeled cocoa and mulled cider.

Someone is bringing the holiday spirit to the Watchtower.

ambles up to Mary and pushes a small package into her hands.

The earnings inside are miniature gold lightning bolts of the same design as the one emblazoned on her uniform. Jewelry is usually a safe bet, right?

Mary takes the package, pausing in hanging up the lights. "Ooh...these are really pretty." She makes in putting them in her ears quickly. "Thanks Guy!" Hopefully he'll get the message.

Guy looks up and winks a 'yer welcome' from across the room.
