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...]

Well, so would I. Beneath the crusty exterior, she actually works really hard.

[ He tips his head a little, only slightly indicating her direction. ]

Well, a little hard. When she wants to, but when she does it, she does good work.

[solidorkable]

I would not even call her exterior crusty. April, despite her best efforts to hide it, is actually quite... sweet.

(but it might be an indication of the people he's grown up around.)

Though, she musn't know this.

[viced]

Oh, of course not. IF she knew it, she'd never do shit for us, you know?

[ It's ok, Larsa, he'd say April wasn't that bad too, but he would never say it to her face. ]

[solidorkable]

Speak for yourself, actually. (he huffs up with a lot of pride, but it's merely jest.)

[viced]

[ He laughs, a soft little chuckle. ]

What, you're the exception here? I'm fucking jealous.

[solidorkable]

(that shocks Larsa, he's never actually heard Mitchell laugh before.)

I shall try to be subtle with favoritism.

[viced]

[ Even if it's short, and a token laugh, at least it's something, but he notes the subtle shift in his face. Oh, shit, had he really been that emotionless around the kid? ]

Oh good. We don't need that shit getting out.

[solidorkable]

You should laugh more, or is that something else that cannot be revealed.

[viced]

[ A hair too long on the sardonic smile plastered on his face, before he shook his head, and he turned the smile down just a hair. A fraction away from strained, where a moment ago it had been strained. ]

It's a deep, dark fucking secret. Not something most people know exists.

[solidorkable]

Have I discovered something I should not?

[viced]

Yeah, you have. You can't let that shit out, got it?

[solidorkable]

(he likes this holiday.)

On my word, your secret is safe with me.
