Break Out the Champagne (Open to all)
The votes were in and the announcement had been made. Jack's campaign manager had already made arrangements for a victory party, just in case. This was a new concept to him. Back home, when his mother had been dethroned, the citizens had celebrated in the streets. But there hadn't been a party to celebrate his victory. Of course, that was because it really wasn't his victory at all. He'd worked behind the scenes to set things up, but in the end it had been Alice that had made it possible for them take back Wonderland and free the Oysters (and the general populace from the addiction to the false emotions bottled in tea form that had been generated from the Oysters).

All the same, Jack was just a little bit uncomfortable with being treated as though he'd had a great accomplishment by winning the election. Becoming the leader of a place wasn't a prize to be won. It was a duty, and for sure an honor that he'd won. But an achievement? No. Making things better for those who lived here would be an achievement, if he could accomplish it.

So while he didn't feel that he 'deserved' a party, he was here nonetheless. His campaign manager had insisted that it was a good way to get to know those who had voted for him, and to start earning their trust as leader.

Jack straightened his tie and surveyed the reception hall. Waiters in tuxedos milled around with trays of champagne and h'ors d'oeurves while a few security guards watched the perimeter. A band struck up the first few chords of a song and a few people in formalwear had started to arrive,

Unfortunately, Jack thought that if the boy with the vividly colored spiky hair decided to crash, the security force wouldn't be able to keep him out. But since the last rally, no one had complained about him wearing his sword wherever he went.

OOC: any characters are welcome, and feel free to socialize amongst yourselves as well as giving your character the chance to meet and greet the new mayor.

The hunter was in the wrong place. It was how this usually worked; he decided to do something fun, and he ended up in the wrong place. These sorts of parties really weren't his thing, but free booze and eats, how could he stay away?

Dean Winchester nodded to one of the waiters, grabbing two glasses of champagne from the tray as it passed. He didn't have a date, and he didn't have a case. He'd done a little ghost hunting the previous night, and he did wonder what one of these shindigs would be like. He guessed it would be exactly like the fiasco that had had Sam dancing with Mrs. Haversham (hey, he saw the movie after the fact). It was damn creepy, but pretty damn funny.

So, there he was, quickly downing one flute and setting it on a passing tray before sipping the other. Well, he'd plan on sipping it. He saw Dinah. It wasn't that he was avoiding her, so much as he was avoiding her and the woman she was with. What was it with the names and the faces around here? He finished off the second glass, grabbed a third, asked for directions to the bar where there would hopefully be harder stuff, and looked for some place to hide...no, place himself strategically until he had a better advantage for enjoying the party. He really shouldn't have come.

He probably shouldn't have told Sam where he'd be, or left a note for Jimmy/Castiel. This was probably one of his not so great ideas.

"Well, you can get a refill and we can sit in there," Dinah gestured toward the bar area. She didn't spot the hunter as she led Zee over to the bar.

"I'll be sticking to soda though," she said. "Considering that the first time I drank wine in the City, I ended up drugged and kidnapped by vampires. And the second time, I ended up taking a break from Harry. And, well, you know about the third time. I'm kind of 0 for 3 here, so nonalcoholic it is."

She gave Zee a breezy smile as if to say that perhaps she would fill her in on those stories later. Not exactly topics she wanted to discuss on what was supposed to be an evening of celebration.

She was actually so intent on finding a seat that she didn't spot Dean right away once they'd sat just down the bar from him.

Instead, she looked at Zatanna with a raised eyebrow. There had definitely been a look that indicated that Zee had something to tell her.
