( on the first of december, vemon woke eddie up at exactly 12:00AM and told him that it is time for christmas.
and eddie hasn't slept since.
all throughout the month, the ranch is alive with holiday movies, 1960s christmas carols, baking, mysterious elves that change places each night, horses decorated in little reindeer antlers... it's quite the time, really. venom wants to ensure that everyone knows the true meaning of christmas, which means no one is allowed to leave their ugly sweater and no one is allowed to remove their santa hat.
ever.
the goings on around the ranch this month range from the mundane, like picking a tree for the living room, to the extreme, like venom's tradition of sacrificing a man in cold blood each year, as is tradition on klyntar. but, suffice it to say, there's plenty to do this holiday season. )
Sleeper [OTA]
Sleeper usually doesn't mind what Eddie comes up with for fun, but the Elf on the Shelf is getting to them. They've already managed to abscond with and dispose of two of the monsters, but apparently that wasn't enough of a hint. So this time they've decided to play the cat card and are purposefully lounging in the pile of savagely sabotaged stuffing, with a printout of this article next to them.
"I put up with a lot in this family, but seriously? I'm done."
II. Deck the Halls (and everything else)
Sleeper enjoys decorating. It's not often you get an excuse to practice wall-crawling and worming through small spaces to make sure the bazillion twinkle lights are being used to maximum effect. So the not-quite-cat is definitely helping make sure nobody needs a ladder for anyting.
Or maybe you've caught them in their more humanoid guise, doing a little heavy lifting. Those wicker deer ain't gonna move themselves. Needless to say, if there's a spot to make a little more festive, they're going to help with that.
III. Family Time?
[Got an idea, need an ooze? Just toss it in here.]
I
And then he picks up the fun holiday fluff piece of questionable journalistic value and integrity. It's missing cites for its sources, but we can excuse that. What we can't excuse is the premise.
"So, in theory, everyone should get gifts? Even cats who assassinate Santa's helpers?"
no subject
A pause. "At least I didn't bring out the one on the physics of why Santa must be dead if he ever existed."
no subject
Gently, Eddie goes about the dangerous task of extracting Sleeper from the copious amounts of stuffing in on order to hold them in his arms like he would any other cat that also happened to be his child from another dimension.
"You can't kill the Elves, bud. They're just doing their job."
no subject
"Being stalked in your own home is not an appropriate job. Should I file a restraining order instead?" they ask, mildly, even as they allow themself to be picked up and held. "You need to stop stressing out about doing things right and just be you. You're already the best dads in this world."
And yes, Eddie, Sleeper smells how nervous you get sometimes.
"Pretty sure both Dylan and I are too old to really believe in Santa. Unless he actually shows up. Empirical evidence might sway things."
