Who: Hannibal Lecter, open What: Hannibal's cocktail party When: May 17th, evening Where: The Lecter home Rating/Warnings: PG Status: In progress
Hannibal is really quite excited for the dinner party. He hasn't had one in far too long, and has taken great joy in preparing everything just so. Mischa's desserts are in the kitchen, to be served later in the evening, and the staff he hired are setting up platters with his various amuse-bouches.
Hannibal himself is dressed in one of his best suits, a step up from his usual fare but a step down from opera black tie. Hopefully, his guests will understand what 'black tie optional' means and dress accordingly.
Glasses of wine and champagne are circulating, and there's a small bar set up should anyone require something other than that. There are a few staff members lingering in the foyer to open doors and take coats, if the need arises.
