[it was perfect... the formulas, the design. Pure genius! He could hardly contain himself, throwing off his gloves and tucking his goggles up onto his head, Billy sweeps out of his laboratory, not bothering to even shut the panel behind him]

Triumph, my friend! I did it!! It took longer than I initially thought, but I finally--

[Moist waves him off from his place in front of the TV] --Hang on, can you believe this? [pointing a half-eaten candy cane at the screen] Commander Benevolence and the Golden Titan are leading the Christmas parade this year.

[immediately, Billy's excitement switches to indignation, and he walks over to the couch]

You're kidding me. Wasn't Golden Titan the one who gilded his entire mansion two months ago? And now they're setting him up as some sort of mascot for a holiday that's supposed to be about goodwill and charity??

[Moist shrugs] He's also the one who sold the most action figures this year.

Tch. See, this is exactly what I can't stand about this stupid holiday. It's, like, World Hypocrite Day. Or... Praise the Corporations Eve.

[the bitching goes on for a few contented minutes before the doorbell to their apartment rings]

--Hey, did you invite someone over or something?

Yeah, just a couple of the guys. Pink Pummeler said he'd bring over Monopoly - the Global Domination edition.

Oh, sweet!


((ooc: open to absolutely anyone who wants to hang out with a couple of baddies. Just ring the doorbell!))

[Moist gives a little wave over the back of the couch, and Billy gives an accusing gesture at the TV]

You know, watching the various holiday travesties. The lineup is pretty impressive this year.

[waving back, she'll come over to lean on the back of the couch, nearby, to get a closer look at the screen. When she sees what's on, she can't help but laugh]

How is a parade a travesty? I always thought they were fun.
