londoncallingrpgIt had taken considerably longer than Robin anticipated, thanks to some building code issues that had pushed back his renovations by months, but following the thrown together "preview" on New Year's Eve (that had gone very well if he did say so himself), Saturnalia was finally officially open for business.
The inside of the club looked somewhat different than it had in January: more polished now, better decorations, furniture, lighting. There was still Greek inspiration, particularly in the murals on the walls - modern, graffiti-inspired versions of Greek art and myths, bright colors splashed amidst chrome industrial decor. Most of the employees (bartenders, dancers) were wearing togas.
The grand opening was a hot ticket, but Robin had sent out invitations generously, and instructed the bouncers at the door to let in the beautiful people as usual, yes, but to be rather random about it as well. After all, what was the fun in only the rich and beautiful?
Alcohol was free flowing, and the music was hot, spun by a DJ on a stage who seemed to have the perfect sense of the crowd. He may have even had a little help by magic. Because why leave these things to chance?

That said something about the drag queen's instinct. "Hannibal Lecter," he responded and shook the hand. He didn't trust him, and he didn't even know that Alcuin had let the vampire bite him. Yet.
"If you're Eric, you know my friend; Alcuin Delaunay."

It could be innocent, of course, but Hannibal didn't trust this vampire to be innocent in any way. "He told me, yes." Which was only half a lie. Alcuin had told him of that one time.
