Hannibal's house, Sunday

Jan 04, 2015 13:11

Hannibal was enjoying a nice, quiet day at home. He'd had a few too many of those lately, but since someone (Jono) had decided that his hobby gave them extra work, he was indulging in other ways; at the moment, he was composing on theremin.

Classes started tomorrow, so hopefully things would pick up a bit.

[OOC: Open post!]

bob, home, jono starsmore

At some point, this was going to have to happen. Best to get it out in the open, wasn't it? Bob took a break from wandering the island for a bit and headed for Hannibal's house, slipping through the walls until he found the man.

Doing...whatever he was doing. "What is that noise?"

Hannibal gave him a Look. "A twentieth-century musical instrument." He set down his pen and switched the theremin off. "I should have expected to see you sooner or later, but I'd thought my house impervious to magic."

That look wasn't going anywhere, Bob.

Bob waved in dismissal. "It takes more effort than it's ever worth to make a spell you can't work through yourself. Unless I should come to mean you active harm, I will always be able to get past my own wards."

Well, that did make a certain amount of sense. And certainly Bob had seemed to be in earnest when he'd laid them down; being in the same body made secrets much harder to keep.

Hannibal eyed him coolly. "Should I suppose you're here to threaten me?"

"Should I suppose I have a reason to?" Bob answered, equally cool. "No, I'm here to offer you a bargain."

Re: NFB! never_dull January 5 2015, 04:00:39 UTC

Hannibal watched him carefully. "What sort of bargain?"

Re: NFB! nuclear_snide January 5 2015, 04:03:49 UTC

"The sort where should it become necessary I use a body, I have one available," Bob answered. "And where you don't have to worry about your secrets coming to light. At least not from me."

Re: NFB! never_dull January 5 2015, 04:05:44 UTC

"An extension of our previous bargain," Hannibal noted. "In an emergency, you would be welcome. In return, you endanger neither me nor my friends in any way."

Re: NFB! nuclear_snide January 5 2015, 04:08:41 UTC

"If not an emergency, I can still make the request," Bob added. "And I'll do my very best to keep you all safe."

Re: NFB! never_dull January 5 2015, 04:12:35 UTC

Hannibal eyed him a moment longer. "I'm free to refuse, though I won't without reason. And should it come to their safety or mine, you would prioritize mine or refuse to interfere."

Re: NFB! nuclear_snide January 5 2015, 04:14:23 UTC

Bob sighed. "I've been dealing with do-gooders so long, I nearly forgot some people do actually have self-preservation instincts. Agreed."

Re: NFB! never_dull January 5 2015, 04:14:54 UTC

Hannibal smirked and bowed. "Agreed."

Re: NFB! nuclear_snide January 5 2015, 04:15:38 UTC

Bob clapped his hands together and grinned. "Wonderful! so, what's for dinner, then?"
