April O'Neil has posed:
It's been a long few weeks. The Holidays are always a blur of visits, parties, meetups, drinks, and anything else that can get crammed into them. April is sitting on the couch, next to some unmentionables left behind by her roommate. She picks up a pair of bottoms, and smirks a bit, before dropping them, and then sighs quietly. "I should clean..." she says, though she doesn't get up just yet. No, that is a bridge too far right now.

Harley Quinn has posed:
Christmas always means a lot of hard partying for one such as Harley Quinn. And that's what the clownette has been up to last few days. She has such a huge social circle after all! From Wonder Woman to Deadpool so who knows how things will end up where it comes to Christmas?

"April!" Harley comes stalking out of her bedroom, dressed in a rather long, wide t-shirt that definitely doesn't belong to her nor was it at their apartment before christmas. It's long enough that almost goes past her thighs. As for who it belongs to? Who knows? Maybe it was a gift. "Look at what Batgirl sent as a gift!" she waves framed photograph with a pale hand, depicting Batgirl, Harley and April in a shared hug. "We should get her to kidnap you again.." she mentions before wandering over to set it on the bookshelf.

To contrast with April Harley is currently wide-eyed and excited. too much energy in the tank still clearly.

April O'Neil has posed:
April O'Neil does not mind the attire at all, and her eyes follow Harley as she bounces around the apartment. The woman grins, "Get her to kidnap me again? Oh? Just like a damsel in distress?" she teases, before she stands up. There's something infectious about Harely's energy. She walks over to look at the picture, perhaps close enough to lean on Harley a little as she does so -- if the woman is even still there, "That is a good picture of me though, I almost hold up against you superhero folk." She then picks up the empty glass that's set next to the frame, and walks it over to the kitchen.

"That's a new shirt," she comments, as she sets the glass in the sink. She's not THAT committed to cleaning, not yet. "Steal it from your friend last night or did they give it to you?" she asks playfully.

Harley Quinn has posed:
When April joins Harley over when she is finishing getting the frame over at the bookshelf the clownette grins wide, wrapping one arm around the other woman's shoulders so they can look at the image in display, "I am not the one that has an ACTUAL Amazon sword!" she pointing with her thumb back to where the blade is in display. "Almost like Wondah Woman, just need to train more." a squeeze on the woman's shoulder before she lets go so she can go to the kitchen.

"I dunno..." she says of her shirt, looking down at herself with a pensive look. "I mean, it was a wild party. I think it was Santa's..." she reaches down to pick on the t-shirt, stretching it as if she was measuring something. "Yep, definitely Santa's!" whoever Santa was!

"Why are you so tired? Was Casey here again? He's a bad influence foh ya.." she says, "Always wantin' ta get in yoh pants." she has opinions about Casey Jones indeed!

April O'Neil has posed:
April O'Neil seems to enjoy some of the view as the shirt is stretched over Harley's figure. "And Santa didn't want to get into yours? From the looks of it, it seems he did..." she shoots back, teasingly, "It's just been...a long couple of weeks. You know? Office party, drinks with friends, gifts with family, visiting a half dozen other people. Plus doing my job. There was an attack on a mutant girl a few days ago at a theater I did some work on. Just, tiring."

She then makes her way back to Harley, and adds, "Though, if you'd like, I can clean and be all domestic while you tell me about your recent adventures? I heard a few of them through the wall, but I'm sure you've got some good stories...and I have a gift for you."

Harley Quinn has posed:
"When I was with Mistah J we had an office party too during christmas. Always ta die foh.." Harley wrinkles her nose as if the memories of it weren't the best. But then again most memories she has of that time are either fuzzy or downright bad ones. "You should had just come with me! I could had got you a Santa." beat, "Or a Rudolph.." a teasing grin on her lips.

The offer to be all domestic gets Harley to ponder, "Well, depends if you wearing the french maid outfit or not.." she murmurs before laughing, "And ooooh, a gift?! Fine, you show me yours and then I will show you mine!" she says, jumping over to the couch and sprawling on it relaxedly.

She's most likely talking about gifts.

As for her adventures? "Well, did I tell ya about the absolute beatdown my new roller derby team gave those bitches of the Flatiron District?"

April O'Neil has posed:
"How'd you guess what my gift was?" April asks, smiling as she walks into her bedroom. She's gone for a few moments, then a few more. She returns in the aforementioned outfit, because if nothing else she likes to keep her roommate's attention. She's also carrying with her a small box, that has a red bow on top of it. She sashays over to the couch, and leans over it, holding out the box, "Who says I'd want Santa OR Rudolph at a party you're at? Maybe I just want to see what you get up to." she asks, and then says, "Open it up!"

Inside is a small golden pendant with the letters 'HQ' studded in obviously fake diamonds.

"You like it?" she asks, before she walks around the couch and starts picking up things from the table, taking her time to make sure she gets all the plates and cups. She looks over her shoulder and adds, "You have NOT told me that, no. How'd I miss that match? Next time I need to set a reminder in my phone..."
