The Community Center park, Friday evening

Hannibal had had tarps laid down and the pavilion put up before the rain started, and the company assured him they would also have adequate heaters in the event it turned too chilly. When it got closer to time, they set up the tables and place-settings according to his students' instructions.

Said students were mostly spending time between the kitchens and the tables, seeing everything through. Hannibal was keeping an eye on things and helping as needed, but so far they'd done quite a good job, he was pleased to see. Mr. Wayne seemed happy as he shook hands and smiled at people as they arrived.

There was unobtrusive classical music playing, the whole place was decorated tastefully floral, and the flowers on the tables were edible. Welcome to the Spring charity banquet!

[OOC: Bruce Wayne again modded with kind permission; open post if you want to show up at the dinner! Crashers welcome OOC, but be prepared for IC frowns. SPish while at work.]

If you're a guest, you'll probably be shown to a seat. There will be an open bar before dinner.

Donations encouraged!

He's mostly playing maitre d', but he never turns down an opportunity to schmooze.

If you're cooking, wandering in, or being nosy - here it is!

The students worked really hard at it!

Spring Salad with Edible Flowers and Dandelion Greens
Lavender Honey Grilled Chicken
Pan-fried Squash Blossoms Filled with Creamy Herb-scented Goat Cheese
Orange Rosemary pasta
The ice in the drinks
Edible Flower Cupcakes

Plus hot and iced mint tea, basil lemonade, sugared violets, and feel free to mod your own flower-themed things.

Money money money...

SP for me while I work, Nick should be in later if time permits.

Flower themed...*GROSS SOBBING*

We decided upon this a week before Hannibal did! It was all Sholeh's fault, honest!

Suuuuuuuuuure. ;)

Would Hannibal have sent a message to Glacia about this?

I'm here, but slooooooooooow until after work.

Bruce wouldn't be taking any donations. Those went to his secretary, standing over there in the lovely blue dress. He would gladly point you in her direction after thanking you from the bottom of his heart, though.

Why not? I imagine if nothing else he's mentioned it as his class's final, if anyone is interested in his teaching. :)

Eliot had seen the posters around town, and figured it was worth checking out, if for no other reason than to see what kind of things a school that thought "classic video games" was a great theme for a class taught its students about food.

He hadn't really bothered to change after his shift at the diner. Jeans, t-shirt, and a bandanna weren't too non-dress code for the Wayne Foundation, right?

Since Karla insisted on paying Raven in her position as Court Healer, and since she had little to spend it on, she frequently gave it away to those in need. For tonight, she'd converted a portion of it to US currency so she could make a donation to the spring charity banquet.

She got a glass of sweet white wine from the bar and looked around to see who else was there.

While there wasn't actually a dress code, most of the donors were in suits at least and black tie at most, so Eliot did rather stand out.

Hannibal paused by him after letting the bar know that the floral simple syrup would be just a moment longer and nodded. "I take it you are local, rather than imported for the occasion?" he gestured at the more formal guests. "I don't remember seeing you before."

Which is where she was when Hannibal spotted her and came over, smiling. "Raven. I'm delighted you could make it."

Chicken. Chicken... Chicken. Sparkle was going to make the best damn flowery chicken anybody had ever eaten.

Yup.

And he was going to even manage to resist the temptation to put a spoon of that honey right into his mouth. For charity.

"Only been here a few weeks," Eliot said. "Thought I'd come by and see what the students put together for this party." He slowly offered his hand. "Eliot Spencer."

"BRUCE!" Rilla incoming, along with two people who were very clearly her parents.

They were walking at a sedate pace, thank you very much.

After making sure her parents were settled in, Rilla stepped into the kitchen...accompanied by Susan who didn't believe that Rilla could cook a lick without intense supervision.

"It's fine, Susan," Rilla said with a smile. "I'm allowed to do this."

Hannibal shook Eliot's hand and smiled. "In that case, please allow me to welcome you. Dr. Hannibal Lecter; it's my students doing this for their final exam. They decided upon a floral theme for the dinner." He pulled a copy of the menu from his jacket pocket and handed it to Eliot.

"I am pleased I could attend, Dr. Lecter," Raven said, giving him a smile in return. "It is always good to give money to a worthy cause, and I cannot deny that I am interested to see if your students have learned to cook as well as you do."

Hannibal was very good at recognizing self-restraint in the face of temptation. He chuckled and clapped Sparkle on the shoulder in passing. "Don't worry; there will be plenty left over."

"I should hope not quite so well, or I would feel rather inadequate," Hannibal confided with a smile. "But I do believe they've learned well. How have you been?"
