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...]

[doubleoohbaby]

But I like arguing.

[hexappeal]

I know, honey. I know.

[doubleoohbaby]

[Sigh.] You're the only one who truly understands me.

[hexappeal]

[She playfully pats him on the shoulder a few times in a teasingly condescending way.] It's alright.

We both know that the only reason I understand is because I'm often the same.

[doubleoohbaby]

You're much worse.

[hexappeal]

If by "worse," you mean "better," then yes. Yes, I am.

[doubleoohbaby]

I'm pretty sure I just mean worse as in worse.

[hexappeal]

If you're trying to start a fight, it's not going to work.

[doubleoohbaby]

I'm really not, darling.

[hexappeal]

Then shut up and scoot your chair out a little.

[doubleoohbaby]

[Just... scooting his chair out slightly with a curious furrow of his brows. Doing as he says without question, what a good boy.]

[hexappeal]

[She slips the arm closest to him around his shoulder and climbs into his lap, her legs dangling comfortably over the side of the chair. (Good boy.)]

[doubleoohbaby]

Mm, in public? How racy. [But he's soon got an arm wrapped around her as he tilts his head up. Aww yeah, hot chick in his lap.]

[hexappeal]

I know! We might get towed away for public indecency! [She laughs as she ducks her head in and brushes her nose against his.]

[doubleoohbaby]

Or at least get disapproving stares from Larsa. [Nose rub!]

[hexappeal]

You just like antagonizing him, admit it. [She kicks her legs a little. Onlookers may think they were younger than they are, if they didn't know any better. She certainly feels younger when she's with him... maybe that's what happiness does to a person?] I wish you'd try to play nice.

[doubleoohbaby]

[It would appear the two of them set off each other's immaturity because Bond is especially childish around her at times. More so than normal. Young at heart or something...]

I am! I've asked him out, he just doesn't like 'kids stuff'. I'm afraid I might be too mentally immature for him.

[hexappeal]

[They just know they usually don't judge one another. Nothing wrong with acting like teenagers in love, right?]

Fine, fine. I'll figure something out and drag him and Klarion along. I don't think you've met him yet, have you? [Give it a week or so. Clearly, the best way to meet your lady love's ward.]

[doubleoohbaby]

Only in passing. [James always makes the best first impressions, next week will be no different.]

Please make it extremely childish, just for Larsa.

[hexappeal]

Then I'll have to introduce you. As you may be aware, he's something of a more villainous brat back home and so he remains here. I offered to allow him to live with me mostly so I could keep an eye on him. [Imagine how he'd be if she weren't!]

And I don't know what to do with kids, really. Aside from magic at children's parties, I'm not good with them until they're like. 10, 12, 14ish. I'll just choose something for someone his age.

[doubleoohbaby]

Sounds like my sort of kid. [No, srsly, if he can cause mischief with someone, that is pretty much all he needs in life.]

Just don't make it bowling again. I don't think I can hold back on beating him.

[hexappeal]

It's different when you're responsible for him, James. [If Zee has a hard time keeping him out of trouble, he's gotta be something else!]

We let you win!

[doubleoohbaby]

Didn't do a very good job. If I recall, he won. [Because James was nice and stuff for once. A massive rarity.]

[hexappeal]

That's because he was genuinely better than you. [:3]

[doubleoohbaby]

Because I let him win.
