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... )

Arrive/Mingle! furnaceface January 30 2015, 23:09:35 UTC

For anyone in on the whole 'oh god Hannibal is getting old' thing!

... Jono didn't phrase it that way, though.

Re: Arrive/Mingle! never_dull January 30 2015, 23:20:27 UTC

"Thank you. I think." You were getting such a side-eye, Jono. "Billiards it is."

//I was going to try to maybe make room in the Boards for something, with proper decorating and all, but, er, Dracula's zombie staff...//

He just waved a hand as if doing so would better punctuate what he was trying to get at, here, without him coming off as... zombie racist? Was that a thing? Being biased against the living-impaired? They kept rotting into things, and given a choice between zombie rot and greasy fries, there had been a clear winner, was all.

//I really will make it up to you,// he added, shrugging his shoulders. //It was either this, or else I find some way to keep people from making up the difference with the pink birds living on your lawn, and this seemed like the lesser of the two evils.//

Re: Arrive/Mingle! never_dull January 30 2015, 23:31:45 UTC

Yeah, even Hannibal would take greasy fries over zombie rot.

He sighed. "The thought is appreciated."

Bowling/Arcade! furnaceface January 30 2015, 23:10:17 UTC

Because at least by having the party here, Jono didn't have to spend much time arranging for entertainment?

Re: Bowling/Arcade! locointhecoco January 31 2015, 00:55:25 UTC

Pinkie had originally come here tonight to bowl, so bowl she did.

She achieved some truly stellar, nigh-yoga-ian poses as she did so. And rolled a perfect strike almost* every time.

* once or twice she got a seven-ten split, just so she could get the spare in the most spectacular earth-physics defying manner possible.

Re: Bowling/Arcade! angelo_wings January 31 2015, 02:56:22 UTC

It was really, really childish to just sort of drop the ball and then use small Air spells to direct it down the bowling lane.

She was sort of hoping someone would catch her doing it, so they could yell, and then she could throw a proper stroppy fit.

"You're cheating," Kenzi observed, without much heat.

Food! furnaceface January 30 2015, 23:14:26 UTC

... Typical arcade concession stand fare with cheap beer. This is a party thrown for Hannibal, not by him.

Jono did at least manage to arrange for some handwavey gourmet hors d'oeuvres, though, courtesy of Karla's cook back in Glacia. So at least something here is edible.

He also swears to god he had nothing to do with the cake.

Re: Food! never_dull January 30 2015, 23:22:43 UTC

Hannibal was going to get a plate (paper?? SIGH) and stash a number of Ermengarde's contributions on it. Anything not on that plate, he wasn't eating.

Anybody trying to take his food would get forked. With prejudice.

"And who made the cake?" he asked Jono.

Re: Food! furnaceface January 30 2015, 23:26:19 UTC

//I... actually don't know.// Jono was eyeing it. //The arcade might've provided it. It should be safe, at least?//

Any cake that was not contributed by Karla was, by comparison, safe. So.

Re: Food! never_dull January 30 2015, 23:29:23 UTC

An arcade cake didn't strike Hannibal as particularly safe, but it did look well-made (if tacky).

"Maybe later."

The Birthday Boy! furnaceface January 30 2015, 23:15:12 UTC

When he tags in. Possibly after he's done murdering Jono for this.

Re: The Birthday Boy! never_dull January 30 2015, 23:23:20 UTC

Hannibal was definitely here. Despite his better judgement.

Re: The Birthday Boy! locointhecoco January 31 2015, 00:27:58 UTC

And there was Pinkie's head sliding sloooooooowly into view behind Hannibal, a broad mischievous grin on her face.

"Happy birthday!" she cried, and blew a little tinsel covered party horn while presenting a jaunty little birthday fez to him with her hoof.

Re: The Birthday Boy! never_dull January 31 2015, 00:34:01 UTC

Hannibal had very good instincts and senses, and hardly anybody ever got the drop on him.

Congratulations, Pinkie. Cartoon physics win.

Hannibal jumped and spun around to see her, then took a moment just blinking at her. "Thank you," he finally said, taking the fez from her, since it seemed the thing to do.

Presents! furnaceface January 30 2015, 23:15:43 UTC

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

This party is all class.

Re: Presents! furnaceface January 30 2015, 23:41:00 UTC

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?

Re: Presents! never_dull January 31 2015, 05:16:15 UTC

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

Re: Presents! furnaceface January 31 2015, 05:22:50 UTC

//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.
