Right Time, Right Place
Who: Hannibal
NPCs: New Yorkers
When: August 15th - so yes backdated
Where: Streets of New York!
What: Hannibal is back in the present! Woo!
Rating: PG-13 - there is cussing underneath this here cut
It had happened again. Once second someplace the next second - someplace else. Only it was concrete under his feet, and a kind of familiar looking alley wall inches from his nose. Hannibal reached out a hand and rapped his knuckles against the wall, confirming that it was real. Now one alley in New York looked a lot like the other alleys, but Hannibal hung out in a lot of different alleys .. and this one … this one looked like the one he had been chasing a vamp down, what felt like eons ago.
From the mouth of the alley came noise - people talking, laughing, the sounds of car horns honking ….
“Jesus Christ....” Hannibal grinned a bit to himself as he moved to the alley entrance, and glanced around. He was home. Or at least he thought he was.
Reaching out he grabbed at a random passersbys arm, even though he knew pulling a stunt like that was a good way to get yourself maced. The person whose arm he had grabbed made a ‘Tskin’ing noise and said; “Look, if you want some spare change, you just have to ask...”
“What year is it?”
“What?”
“What year is it!?”
“2011 --”
Hannibal didn’t pay attention to the rest, just released the arm and looked up at the sky, saying; “Fucking A!”
The person moved on muttering something about ‘Only in New York’ and Hannibal grinned after them, shouting out; “That’s right, only in New York, only in New York in 2011! God I love this city! This year!”
Now - he just had to get back to his apartment, let the rest of the Nightstalkers know he wasn’t dead (again), and - he sobered a bit here, he had make sure that the person whom he had done the time warp with (or rather the person that he knew who he had done the time warp with) had made it home as well.
