SUMMARY: Ned invites the whole City to the Pie Hole. He and Zatanna are cooking and baking everything (there are meat and meatless options), but feel free to bring a favorite from home!
FORMAT: quick/spam; make your own threads for your own people or table. on open threads estimate the time of arrival.
NO ONE IS EVER LATE!!!!!

[From the outside, the Pie Hole hasn't changed much, though the window is draped in elaborate snowflake-shaped lights, but inside is a whole other story. Zatanna has made quite a spectacle of the place, a huge banquet hall filled with long and short tables for enjoying your meal with any number of friends. And the decorations are outrageous. Ned's Christmas decorations, which were already over-the-top have all been magically enhanced and Thanksgivingsized like little crystalline pumpkin baubles and overspilling cornucopia on each buffet table, lined up in front of the kitchen. Ned is firmly putting his foot down this year: no one is to enter his kitchen but Zee or himself.

He'll be serving regular pie menu as well as breakfast (frittatas) until twelve noon at which point there will be an hour or two for people to arrive and mingle. The food will be out by 1:30-2 pm and dessert to be served at 3 pm. Ned just wants everyone to have a great day so come in and make yourself at home!! There are a few kegs as well if you all didn't listen and byob...]

[Barbara was basically on time; she was too polite to be either too late or too early. She chooses Zatanna's table mostly because she knows her, at least somewhat.]

[Of course the labels on the dishes make it clear just how much of that knowledge is theoretical. It's not that she minds (even if she'll never be totally comfortable with things she doesn't completely understand), but it's not something she expected at all. She draws her hand back and hesitates before trying anything.]

Interesting setup you've got here.

[ Eventually, Mitch can't resist the temptation. Look, he's a nerd, and he knows who Zee's friends are. He just has to say hi, and Barbara's no exception.

Come on, Barbara Gordon? How can he fucking say no? He slid nearby, extending a hand with a smile. ]

Hi, you know Zee? Mitch Hundred, the Mayor.

[Sure, she'll shake his hand and smile back. One thing about being a police commissioner's daughter - you learn how to interact with city officials.]

That's right.

I remember you - from all those campaign posters.

[She looks a little apologetic after she says it. It's probably not exactly how he wants to be recognized.]

It's nice to meet you in person.

Oh Christ, not those fucking things again. [ A wry smile crossed his face, and he ran a hand through his hair. Go figure, that would be something that people would notice. ]

Please tell me that you don't think they're fact, right? I don't want to know that my voting public is that swayed by lies.

[She gives him a serious, assessing look.]

Hmm... well, I suppose they seem a little unlikely.

[And then she grins, because she never took them seriously at all. They were too silly for that.]

You know what they say - any publicity is good publicity. I suspect no one will forget your name any time soon.
