Three Minute Dates- Caritas- Saturday before 8:15 pm

It was that time agaaaaaain! There was a sign on the door and a banner above the stage.

CARITAS PRESENTS
THREE MINUTE DATES


Or maybe, perchance, you totally missed it somehow, and didn't run from the bar before Tino could sign you up for dates. It happens!

And then a few minutes before 8:00, Kitty took the stage under the banner, to a drumroll from the zombie drummer.

"Hello and welcome to another installment of Three Minute Dates!" Kitty began. "In case you're new to this, in a couple minutes I'm going to call out sets of names. You'll find that person, talk to them for a whole three minutes. When you hear this siren-" Oh, that was an obnoxious air horn sound. "-you'll get a new person to talk to. If you got sucked into this without your knowledge, sorry, and also it's fifteen minutes of your life, make some new friends!"


[So much OCD incoming. OCD is up! Date away! A post for Caritas after the dates will go up Saturday!]

Hannibal grinned. "It's good not to be the only one with a sense of fashion here. Between yourself and Ms Adler, I'm feeling much less alone," he said with an amused nod that was almost more of a bow. Which one is Eliot?"

“The tall drink of water in the vest over there,” Margo said, nodding towards the table where El was speaking to Stark.

She locked her eyes back on Hannibal’s face. “That’s El. I’m Margo,” she said. “The Destroyer. High Queen of Fillory.”

Hannibal looked over at Eliot and nodded approvingly. Not his style, but certainly a style, and one that suited him.

He turned back to Margo and met her eyes, grinning at the introduction. "Dr. Hannibal Lecter." He'd bow over her hand if she allowed it. "And are you a destroyer?"

“I mean, I’ve got a brand, I live up to it,” said the magician who had single-handedly started at least one war in her tenure as High Queen. “But never mind that, doctor of what?”

Hannibal was still smiling. "You should always be true to yourself," he said approvingly. "And a doctor of medicine," he answered. "Trauma surgery and then psychiatry. I take patients here, and I have also been known to teach gourmet cooking, first aid, and art. What is it that brings you here, your majesty?"

“A dead asshole god zapped me here because he didn’t like me being competent at my job,” Margo rasped. “Typical man in middle management.”
sharp_man: (I wonder...)

"Those with more power than sense are always unfortunate," Hannibal answered. "If a god is middle management, who or what is upper level?"

“Their parents, apparently,” Margo said dryly.

If Julia-as-relayed-by-Eliot was right.

Hannibal chuckled. "Coming from a world with no indisputably existent gods, I find that amusing, although I imagine it's less so if you need to deal with them."

“You’re lucky,” Margo said, and the bullhorn ruined anything else she was going to say.

Hannibal stood and offered her a hand up if she wanted it. "It's been delightful. We must speak again. Perhaps we could have a dinner party of the well dressed sometime."

Margo took his hand and gave it a firmer shake than one might expect from someone with her small frame. “You’re definitely on the guest list for our upcoming housewarming party,” she promised.

Hannibal smiled and met that shake with a firm but not overbearing one of his own.

"I look forward to it. Let me know in advance, and I'll bring something to eat. I can even cater it or put you in touch with good professional services if you'd like."

He could even get you his decorator, Margo!
not_a_goddamn_princess: (eyepatch: quiet certainty)

How dare you imply that the Party King and Queen of the Physical Kids Cottage didn’t know how to decorate, Hannibal. How very dare.

“I’ll remember that,” she promised.

Pfft. Why do it yourself if you could hire someone?

Hannibal nodded and headed off to his next date. "Until later, then."
