→ i don't want a lot for christmas, there is just one thing i need

CHARACTERS: Barbie House Residents & You.
LOCATIONS: That pink little number where superpowered girls live.
WARNINGS: None in post, please let me know if I need to change that.
SUMMARY: Ugly sweater party time.

( If you know Kimberly and Clary at all, then you'll know there's been a festive treat in the works for a while. People will have received their personally designed invitations during the week, but neither of them have been shy in mentioning the party while wandering the city laden with shopping bags. The house is suitably decorated - enough mistletoe to potentially be a biohazard - but with a little help from the world's best ( and most stylish ) warlock Magnus Bane, it's definitely looking the part. And if it's a little small, well outside is covered in lights too, an army of space heaters dotted in their garden to make things as cosy as possible.

There's multiple flavours of punch, though be wary of the one that smells overwhelmingly of gingerbread, someone was a little heavy handed with the liquer. If that doesn't float your boat then the living room table is laid out with different drinks and snacks, some more festive than others. Eat, drink, be merry. And if you hear Blue Christmas at any point in their festive playlist, please track down Baby and give him a hug ( or a drink ... or one of those sprigs of mistletoe. )

The only rule ( and it's definitely a rule ) wear a Christmas sweater or suffer the wrath of women scorned. Though maybe not something with tassles or baubles, Simba might be after them. )

If I even thought about doubting your ability to pick a spectacular ugly sweater my mind is at ease now.

[ Buffy gave Magnus a grin as she pointed at the unicorn that adorned it. ] Although I was not expecting a second horn. Wow, that really is a special sweater.

[ There was a part of her that felt like she should have been handing him a Cosmo, but that was because she had gotten used to his orders at the Deviant. Instead she held out her hands for a dance. ] Since I never get a chance because you only ever see me on duty.

It really is, isn't it? You have a quick eye for detail. [Magnus grins a wicked, wicked grin as he takes her hands and spins her. The Deviant has been his home away from home, and it does make him miss Pandemonium something awful, but the bartender always manages to lift his spirits.]

Later on I'll even get you a drink, just to make the evening really topsy-turvy. I'm glad you came, I wasn't sure who I'd see here.

When it comes to clothes I do. [ And maybe when it came to her 'job' as well. She gave a laugh as he span her, letting her hair fan out and moving lightly on her feet. Sometimes all that Slayer training came in handy in other areas. ]

Now that's just pure crazy talk. Are you sure you haven't been drinking the kool-aid? Maybe the colour of the house has gotten to you. Honestly, I wasn't too sure to begin with. I know Robbie, and I know Jace. I kind of know Kimberly. The house is hard to forget. But sometimes the need for fun overrides everything else.

Only if the kool-aid has been laced very liberally with vodka, and I find the color of the house very refreshing.

[She's easy to dance with, which is no surprise. He'd suspected she'd be light on her feet, he's seen her moving around behind the bar on crowded nights. It's just as easy to talk like this as it is standing around with drinks.]

I've always felt that the need for fun should be a driving force in more people's lives. I've met Kimberly since arriving here, but I knew Clary back home, known her since she was just a little biscuit. I know Jace too. [But whatever, he and Jace are really only on such good terms because of Alec.]

[Before long, that song comes to an end and he does sweep a glass of something off the table and offer it to her, as promised.]
