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...]

Excellent choice. [She points. It's serve yourself. Honestly, Mitch! Just because you're the mayor doesn't mean people are going to get your food for you at a buffet-style event!!]

[viced]

[ He follows her finger, and then grimaces. ] Why the fuck did you hand me a menu if it's self-serve?

[ Seriously! He's going to hover for a few moments, though. He doesn't know if he's quite hungry enough yet. ]

[hexappeal]

Because you were whining about wanting to know the flavors. [And back to the whining thing!]

Just grab a whole pie and we can take it to a table, geez. [Which means she intends to dig in with him.]

[viced]

The whole fucking pie?

[ He says it with disbelief, but he still grabs it. ]

This is a lot of fucking pie.

[hexappeal]

Are you suggesting two badasses like ourselves couldn't eat a whole pie?

[Too bad he didn't come early. They could've had a few (hundred) puffs. It'd make the holiday go by more smoothly, too...]

[viced]

[ Eventually, they'll sneak out and make sure that happens. It's the only way to actually get Mitch to eat. ]

I'm suggesting that it's a lot of fucking pie! I'm sure we can eat it, but there won't be much room for anything else.

[hexappeal]

[He needs to get off tumblr. They're only encouraging him to be pro-ana :(]

Is there reason to have room for anything else? [She seems dead serious.]

[viced]

I thought I needed to eat turkey and that shit too? I can subsist on just pie?

[hexappeal]

You do, but I don't need to be present while you enjoy it. Hopefully you won't just pretend like you ate until you felt like you were going to die. [What... exactly is she wishing upon him?]

[viced]

What the fuck, Zee? That sounds fucking terrible! Can't we just eat the fucking pie?

[hexappeal]

Watch your goddamn mouth, this is a family holiday, Mitch! Just shut up and savor the pie.

[viced]

Hey, fuck you! Just because it's a holiday doesn't mean I have to censor myself!

[ But he has a fork. He's just not taking the first bite. ]

[hexappeal]

You should! And you should act like you're the mayor, too!

[She goes for the first bite and laughs because, lmao. Mitch watching his mouth even on public television. That's just crazy talk!]

[viced]

Acting like the Mayor means I'm not the fucking Mayor! [ Fine, she's broken the seal. Zee is one of the few people who Mitch is at least someone comfortable eating around. He tears in a little, but his bites are much smaller. ]

Besides, you're my fucking friend, you're not supposed to call me out on it!
