Post-Parents' Weekend destresser, Monday evening

[sharp_as_knives]

Hannibal and Jono had both sent out e-mail to everyone they knew on the island, as well as posted in the school's boards, and everybody was invited. After this weekend, some of them seemed like they would need it.

Hannibal had a very well-stocked bar and wine cellar, there were darts and billiards and a card table downstairs as well as a media room, a music room and library on the first floor, outside decks on both if you didn't mind the flamingos, and of course, food.

Pork tenderloin crostini with cranberry pepper jelly
Pumpkin carrot soup shooters with coconut cream
Prosciutto, mango, and parmesan salad
Sweet potato ravioli with lemon sage brown butter
Mini beef wellingtons
Beef tenderloin with garlic and merlot jam
Chocolate and peanut ganache tartelettes
Chocolate orange mousse, spiced fruit brioche and yoghurt sorbet
Raspberry sorbet



[Open post! Everybody invited.]

//Somewhere between the part about making balloons out of rubber gloves and that bit they nestled in there about how stethoscopes must always be startlingly cold?//

It was possible Jono was paraphrasing the oath slightly.

"Exactly. It was clever to put all of that near the end, so nobody else would know," Didi replied easily. "Most people stop at 'first do no harm' and never make it to the rubber gloves and shenanigans bits."

//It's the real test of a doctor's mettle,// Jono decided. //Put all the boring bits at the start, and if they make it far enough to get to the interesting stuff, they've earned the right to call themselves 'doctor.'//

And all the capers that would inevitably entail.
