Hello, you've reached Doctor Hannibal Lecter's personal number. I'm not available at the moment, but if you'll let me know the reason you are calling and how I may reach you, I will give your call the attention it deserves.

If you are calling in regards to a patient, please phone my office instead.

Thank you.

"You are now connected, sir. You may leave a message." If the operator making the connection to Hannibal's phone sounded irritated, she was. Drac still hadn't mastered direct person-to-person calling, and was very annoying about it.

"Doctor Lecter? Are you there? This is Count Dracula. I am currently at the theatre, surrounded by fruit and vegetable trays." Can you hear the shiver, there? "If you are in town for lunch or dinner, perhaps you could find a moment to meet me and we could dine on something more appropriate?"

...

"Operator? I have completed my call. Operator? OPERATOR? Hello? Hel-" there was the sound of a switchook being struck several times "-lo? Hell- - -"

Dialtone.......

"Dr. Lecter, this is Raven. I wished to thank you for your kind invitation to Thanksgiving dinner, and to let you know I will be accepting it. I am always happy to celebrate Earth customs. I am a vegetarian, but please, there is no need to prepare anything special for me."

Delivered at some point during the day would be a small package that included a card and homemade heart-shaped cookie sandwiches. These cookies were, of course, the best of the best, hand-chosen and painstakingly decorated.

I hope this isn't inappropriate, the card read, as I just wish to convey my sincerest gratitude both for your teaching and you listening to me the other week. Thank you so much for both.

With much appreciation,
Zhahar

This one was a text message, one that didn't bother with little things like proper punctuation. Jono had no patience for doing battle with his phone, today.

Momoko fiddled with the wings of one of the leftover invitations as she waited for the phone to connect. Huh. Doctor Lecter worked for the FBI? Momoko hadn't known that! Maybe she should talk to him about her career- ah! The beep!

"Hello, Doctor Lecter! It's Momoko Akatsutsumi. I have a favour to ask of you... I am hosting a baby shower for Karla and Warren (you should have gotten an invitation by now?) and I was wondering how much you would charge to cater? Not the cake or sweets, I'm asking someone else for that, because it's going to be a lot with me and Karla and guests, but just a light dinner and some party food?"

"If you're too busy, I totally understand." Momoko smiled into the phone. "Ah! And don't be afraid to tell me how much you charge. I can totally bug Oracle for another job if I have to!"

And she was going to have to, if the bookmarked baby gift ideas on her laptop were any indication...

"Call me back when you have a moment? Thank you!!"
