Fast Eddie's, Friday Night

Jan 30, 2015 19:08

Jono had threatened to drag Hannibal off to do something for his birthday, and really, there hadn't been many stipulations set down, beyond not deliberately increasing the population of the flamingos on Hannibal's lawn, given how old he was turning today. Jonothon was pretty certain he'd managed that much, and while he'd wanted to do something that ( Read more... )

There's a free pool table you can put them on.

This party is all class.

Jono's gift wasn't actually all that impressive, at a glance. It was, after all, really only an envelope. But some of the best birthday-slash-apology presents out there could fit into an envelope, right?

This particular envelope happened to contain two Portalocity vouchers for a return trip to London (for Hannibal and whoever he so desired to bring along. Jono had decided not to presume and went for something that didn't need names on the tickets), complete with lodgings at the Café Royal Hotel, and a pair of tickets to take in the London Philharmonic.

He'd said he'd make it up to him, hadn't he?

Hannibal opened the envelope, read the vouchers, and smiled. "This is lovely; thank you. Do you have any particular preference as to my guest?"

//I made certain that the only name on any of them was yours,// Jono replied, shrugging his shoulders a little. //Choice of who comes along with you is completely yours, mate.//

And he meant that, too. He wasn't going to be completely heartbroken if Hannibal had somebody else in mind, though at the same time, he'd actually be a little thrilled if he was the one to get the invite.

Hannibal feelings were complicated feelings.

Hannibal gave him a thoughtful look. "I should probably bring someone who knows London; it could only help."

//Well, it certainly couldn't hurt,// Jono agreed, ever so casually.

Because that was Jono, really. Just a super casual kind of guy. Super duper casual.

So casual! Hannibal was in awe of your casualness, Jono!

"I'll have to think about it, I suppose." Hannibal smirked. Because he was evil.

Hannibal, how could you! Jono had always suspected your evilness, but to let it show so blatantly this way??

//Well, you let me know who you decide to bring along,// he countered, //and I'll give them some pointers for navigating the city before you go.//

Because, hey, Jono could handle a little evil in his day-to-day. It kept things interesting.

It made them perfect together, really. "I'll do that."

Didn't it, though!

Just imagine how perfect they'd be once Jono realized just how evil Hannibal could be!

... Wait no that would probably be bad.

//And whoever it is you end up taking along,// Jono added, sounding a little more sincere and a little less totally-casual-really, //I hope you enjoy it, mate. Happy Birthday.//

Pfft. What was a little murderous cannibalism between friends?

"I'm sure we will," Hannibal answered, smiling. "Thank you."

Bob couldn't really do presents, for the obvious reason. So he settled instead for writing in the air above them:

HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY, HANNIBAL LECTER!

That was a totally touching and classy thing to do, right?

Hannibal shook his head and sighed.

And in the middle of the pool table there did appear a single, dignified little copper balloon, tied to the lid of a jar of zap apple jam straight from the Apple Family farm in Ponyville. The card had Granny Smith's own recipe for apple brown betty and a warning not to use up the jam too quickly, as the process for production was really remarkably involved, and that Pinkie wasn't certain that Hannibal was quite ready for jumping around his kitchen in a bunny suit.

Hannibal eyed the jam curiously, dying to know what was in it, with those colors. "Thank you," he said to Pinkie, smiling.

No, he wasn't going to don a bunny suit any time soon. But he'd enjoy the jam he had.

Rinoa being sick meant that Squall had been the one to buy Hannibal's present. Sorry?

Squall knew that Hannibal was really big into food... things, so Hannibal was getting a gift certificate to Outback Steakhouse.
