Hannibal's house, Tuesday evening

[sharp_as_knives]

After listening to Momoko's message (and changing his voicemail message), Hannibal headed into his office and started taking notes as he called her back.

[OOC: Expecting the obvious one, but open for drop-ins, calls, or what-have-you after!]

Momoko's perky "Hello?" was a little distracted because she was still full of FEELS for the way that this season of her latest TV show was shaping up. She wasn't sure how she liked the idea of the president being a life-model-decoy gone rogue. "Momoko here."

[sharp_as_knives]

"Hello, Momoko; it's Doctor Lecter. How are you this evening?"

[heromaniac]

"AHHHH!" Momoko closed her laptop (disconnecting from the spoiler forums, shh!) and gleed into the phone. "Doctor! You called back! Thank you!"

"I'm fine! I'm fine! And you? I'm not interrupting or anything, right?"

[sharp_as_knives]

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" Hannibal asked, amused. "I am the one who called."

[heromaniac]

Momoko laughed. "I'm never busy! And if I was, I totally wouldn't answer the phone. Not this one, at least."

[sharp_as_knives]

"In that case, if you have a moment, I thought we could discuss Karla's baby shower?"

[heromaniac]

"Yes! Business business business!! Well, fun business..." Momoko reached for her notebook and pen. "You did get the invitation, right?"

Okay, she flipped to the page full of her sketches of cakes notes about food for the party. "It's going to be in my landlady's back yard, here in El Paso. And it's an all day thing so people can come and go, so I was thinking light foods and then one big meal. Are you interested in possibly cooking for us?"

[sharp_as_knives]

"I would be insulted if you were to ask anyone else," Hannibal answered, amused. "How many are you expecting?"

[heromaniac]

YAY!!!!

"I'm asking Priestly to make the desserts and actual baby shower cake. Even though it's totally rude of me; the shower is happening the day after his birthday."

Momoko gave him a rough number of attendees. "But not all at once of course. At least I don't think," she chuckled. "The yard is big but not that big. Mrs Wilson said we can use her kitchen if we need to, but she doesn't have a fancy one. Ah! And but we do have some people coming who are vegetarian, too."

She frowned, tapping her pencil against her notebook. "I hope I'm making sense. I don't want to do this wrong."

[sharp_as_knives]

"Appetizers and finger-food, outdoor- and vegetarian-friendly, nothing that needs a fancy kitchen to finish up, and dinner. It makes sense to me so far," Hannibal answered.

"Have you got Priestly's contact information, or could you give him mine? It would be best if we coordinated."

[heromaniac]

"Yay! Thank you Doctor! I'd offer to help, but I am still learning and unless I am following a recipe I totally get lost." And even with a recipe she often burned more than she served. "Unless you need chili or tako-san weiners."

Momoko chuckled at the idea of the doctor watching her cook. His face would probably be even more horrified than Priestly's got!!

... Which of course meant someday she would have to try to see it.

Ah! Speaking of! "I don't think he'll mind if I give you his phone number? You met at Dinah's over Halloween, so he knows you." She rattled off Priestly's number. "He has a weird schedule now that he's in school again, so if he doesn't call back immediately don't worry. He's totally responsible, especially when it's about food or friends." And double especially if it's about Dinah...

[sharp_as_knives]

She was getting a fairly painful look just at the suggestion. "We did meet, yes." He jotted down the number. "I will call him and work out the details, then; thank you."

[heromaniac]

Awww! She was missing a good face!

"Thank you, Doctor! You're awesome for helping; thank you!"

[sharp_as_knives]

"You're very welcome." Hannibal smiled and shook his head. "I'll let you know if I have any questions, then?"
