[ This is Will Graham we're talking about. This is going to be short and to the point. ]

It would appear that Dr. Lecter is no longer a resident of this reality. [ Will's voice is perfectly neutral, giving no indication as to how he feels about these events. There is so much Will would like to say, but he hasn't entirely lost hope that Hannibal might yet find his way back. As such, he is not inclined to speak to the good doctor's ... activities. At least, not over an open network. ]

If you were utilizing his professional services, I shall do you the favor and not offer to continue his practice.

Though I shall be remaining in what has been his home.

[ Well ... okay, one vague comment. ]

For anyone wondering; In addition to not offering psychiatric services, I also do not host dinner parties.

Why the hell would you move into his house?

text

[this_ismydesign]

[ Will is still trying to decide how he feels about texting. It does support his naturally unsociable nature, but definitely not something he grew up with, or adopted early enough to be comfortable with it.

But. When in Rome. ]

That is a very long, complicated story, that I am not interested in discussing. I will simply say that Hannibal and I came from the same reality and knew each other in that reality.

He was my psychiatrist.

[levelshift]

[Sorry Will, Accelerator is a teen and therefore always going to default to text.

Hannibal being anyone's psychiatrist automatically means that relationship can be labelled complicated, so Will calling it that makes sense. Still....]

Even if he was you must've had more than just a professional relationship if you're willing to take over his home.

[So he's guessing it's not just complicated, it's really complicated. Especially if he's mentioning dinner parties.]

That place is probably better off being razed to the ground.

[this_ismydesign]

[ It will now be his turn to apologize, because Will isn't going to respond to the first statement Accelerator makes. The teen isn't wrong by any stretch of the imagination, but no way in hell is Will discussing this on an open network. ]

Though I understand the sentiment [ He recalls that the house in Baltimore, that this one is based upon, was leveled to the ground after the investigation was concluded ] I would appreciate it if you refrained from any such actions.

[ So that can happen, huh? Well, that's fascinating.

Still -- ]

... do you share his diet?

cw mentions of cannibalism

[this_ismydesign]

No.

[ Not technically a lie.

While he'd grown to understand the complicated emotions that were involved in sculpting Hannibal's particular, dietary habits, Will's 'Becoming' was more about the artistry involved in punishing the wicked.

For the most part Will had not knowingly ingested human flesh, except for the whole Randall Tier situation. That, however, had been a strategic move in the complicated web he and Jack Crawford had been trying to spin in order to entrap Hannibal. It had been transforming Tier into his greatest desire -an animal- that had fueled Will's emotional response. ]

cw vague cannibalism mentions

[banworthy]

[ Kind of unfortunate, but that is because he still had more questions for Hannibal about his morality and how he views himself; he felt like he was on the path of understanding something about the criteria that they are judged.

Oh well. It was an enjoyable thought experiment, anyway.

Still, is this the truth? He wonders. ]

That's quite a relief. [ Vincent says instead. ] Though, I guess I didn't expect you to admit it if it were true. [ A smile dances around his words. ] Don't worry, though, I do believe you.

[hasitsthorns]

[ Ah, yeah, she'd... heard about that. As a 'monster' that's supposed to eat people and never has, she's

glad she ended up skipping that particular party. Who knows what it might have done to her? ]

It's appreciated, [ she offers up. ]

You sure you'll be okay moving into his house though? Just, y'know, the associations and stuff might be. Difficult.

[this_ismydesign]

[ Oh, she has no idea about the depth of associations he has with this house. But he expects she means other peoples' associations. ]

I wouldn't expect anything less. But I'm not much for having people over to socialize, so it will suit my needs.

[ So long as no one tries to burn it down around him. ]

[hasitsthorns]

[ Both, actually. Rosie knows how hard it can be when in a 'haunted' house full of memories, but also- Yeah. Other people here aren't going to forget so easily. ]

If you're sure, [ is all she says, at first. ] But if you ever need some company regardless, well- I didn't ever go before, so. I don't mind.

[ingestion]

please tell me you’re throwing out that swan painting.

please.

[this_ismydesign]

It will be going into his bedroom, and the door to that room shall remain closed.

[ He doesn't disagree with the opinion of that painting, in fact there are a few items that are going to be stored in Hannibal's bedroom. But he can't say he isn't holding on to a small hope that Hannibal might return some day. If that happens, Will doesn't want to have to explain what happened to the older man's precious works of art.]

[ingestion]

I'm not trying to be nosey or anything, so feel free to ignore this but...

why are you moving into his house anyways? You know what he did here right? To some of us?

voice; un: hob

[100more]

Another person has left? I didn't have the pleasure of meeting him. He was a friend of yours?

[ he has no idea. ]

[this_ismydesign]

[ Will can't help smirking at 'pleasure of meeting him', but he won't correct the stranger. ]

We came from the same reality. He was my psychiatrist.

[ He's going to stick to that line, for the time being. ]

I have only recently arrived myself, but had heard that people sometimes left. I will admit to being a little taken aback that he and I were only here at the same time for a little less than six weeks.

[ And he wonders if, in the wake of the dinner party, Echo had decided to swap one of them for the other. But he has no evidence to support that speculation, so he keeps it to himself. ]

[100more]

[ Psychiatrist but not a friend? Guess one shouldn't mix that sort of relationship. ]

I see. Not everyone has found someone from their same world and timeline. The fact that it was someone you knew at all is fortunate. I'm sorry to hear he's gone.

[fortitudosalutis]

What'd you got against dinner parties, hmm?

[ Hey, stranger. ]

[this_ismydesign]

[ Hello, you! ]

I'm not very sociable when involved in activities I enjoy.

I have negative associations with dinner parties. The food usually ends up making me ill.

[fortitudosalutis]

Mhmm. In general, or because of a specific host?

Just as an FYI, in case you were getting comfortable in there, I've got plans to come 'round and burn that hellhole down to the ground, an' you living there isn't gonna stop me.

[this_ismydesign]

Well. Thank you for the heads up.

[rowd]

Sooo... are you gonna get out, or am I gonna have to commit arson around you?

I don't suppose you're a physician as well?

[this_ismydesign]

I am not. I was a teacher.

[tocastashadow]

How disappointing. Your friend had offered to help me with something.
