Hannibal's house (which Jono makes free with), Sunday evening

[sharp_as_knives]

Invitations had gone out handwavily on the school and town's bulletin boards, both electronic and physical, that a belated post-pollen relaxation and last-day-of-break dinner party was being held at Hannibal's house and everybody was invited.

Of course, that meant Hannibal had had to come home and go immediately into a frenzy of cooking and preparing, but honestly - you relax your way, and he'd relax his.


[OOC: Dinner party! Everybody's invited, but wait for the OCD, please. OCD up!]

Hannibal laughed. "That would be a waste of good cheese. I suggested a bowling ball."

"You'd have to aim pretty good," Dante said, taking a swig from the bottle. "I could probably pull it off."

"I'll keep it in mind if we're invaded by skeletons," Hannibal promised. He sighed at Dante and pointedly moved the glass of beer in front of him. "Most of that is in here."

"Yeah, but where's the fun in that?" Dante said.

He took another swig from the bottle, just to make his point, before he actually grabbed the glass.

"One more sip and the bottle will be empty, and where will be the fun in that?" Hannibal asked.

He wasn't going to bother trying to argue class with Dante. Again.

Honestly, at this point, it was probably at least 75% trolling, because Hannibal made it easy.

"Just means you have to get another bottle," Dante said, perky. "That's the whole point."

If Hannibal thought for a moment it was anything but trolling, he'd be a bit less forgiving.

"You're assuming I will," he answered, smirking.

"Just one drink a person?" Dante asked, peering at the bar. "I thought you'd be better at parties."

Re: Arrive and mingle!

[sharp_as_knives]

"That depends upon the respect with which the drinks are treated." Hannibal chuckled. "And if not respect, enjoyment."

Re: Arrive and mingle!

[rebelseekspizza]

"I'm definitely enjoying the three gulps from the bottle," Dante promised, looking kind of amused about the whole thing. "Cross my heart."

Re: Arrive and mingle!

[sharp_as_knives]

"Hopefully it won't suffer from the glass," Hannibal answered wryly.

Re: Arrive and mingle!

[rebelseekspizza]

"I can't promise you shit, but I'm going in," Dante said, bringing the glass up to his mouth and taking a sip.

Re: Arrive and mingle!

Truth be told, it should taste better in a proper glass. Not that Hannibal expected Dante to notice the difference. Or to admit it if he did. So he just watched with an expectant look on his face.

Re: Arrive and mingle!

Which might have made Dante snicker if he didn't have a glass of beer in his face, go figure. He lowered it. "Still tastes like beer to me," he said. "But I'm sure there's like, science."

Re: Arrive and mingle!

"There is," Hannibal agreed. "But as I'm not teaching that this semester, I'll forego it. Suffice it to say, it should go well with the food."
