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...]

How about "pretty alright, I guess"?

[doubleoohbaby]

[Hissing through his teeth as his inhales thoughtfully.] Not sure I can stretch that far.

[hexappeal]

Then not that bad, it is.

[doubleoohbaby]

[Pout.] Darling, you're more than alright.

[hexappeal]

I don't think you'd date me if I wasn't.

[doubleoohbaby]

I'd date you because you're you.

[hexappeal]

Yeah, yeah. So you say.

[doubleoohbaby]

I'd date you because you're the only person who puts up with me.

[hexappeal]

There are plenty of people that put up with you or would. You had no problem with it before I came around and I doubt that would change if I up and disappeared.

But you're being very sweet. I can appreciate that.

[doubleoohbaby]

You better not up and disappear.

[hexappeal]

You know I'd have no choice, if I did. But I won't go unless I have to.

[doubleoohbaby]

We'll both just have to do our best, hn?

[hexappeal]

See, I can promise that at least.

[doubleoohbaby]

Even I can manage that promise. [And he doesn't do promises.]

[hexappeal]

Why, Mister Bond. I do believe you're acting like a bona fide adult.

[doubleoohbaby]

That can't be right. The world should have ended by now...

[hexappeal]

Apparently not, babe. I guess we're sort of adults, sometimes. I kind of like it.

[doubleoohbaby]

It's a novel idea.

[hexappeal]

Being adults as the world ends? I guess it's not a bad way to go, with you.

[doubleoohbaby]

If the world's ending, I'd like to be doing something very adult.

[hexappeal]

Yeah? Maybe I'll wake you tonight with something very adult.

[doubleoohbaby]

My only hope is it's the good sort of adult and not the traumatising sort.

[hexappeal]

[She bites her bottom lip and slowly lets it slide from behind her teeth.] I hope it's better than good, babe.

[doubleoohbaby]

Expect only the best and I'll do the same for you.

[hexappeal]

I'd be disappointed if you didn't. [She leans in to just barely brush her lips over his. This is public, after all. Might as well make him sweat.]
