[026] I'm an optimistic pirate and I love my black spot
[PUBLIC -- video]
Why can't more shit that happens around here be like that? I mean, come on. Pirates, how is that not cool. I haven't had that much fun from the Admiral's shitty driving since Vegas. Just throw in Prohibition in Chicago and that's like...the trifecta.

So that flood we had before was You were kind of
[Nothing sent.]

[A pause, and he misses the point of the glance but he's still pretty sure nothing good can come from it.]
...About what.

...Seriously, he's like a small child, you shouldn't introduce him to important friends unless you're sure because he'll take it badly when they're written out of things.]
I wouldn't mind punching him in the stomach with a rusty razor blade a few times though.

Look, I'd rather this be off the Network. I trust you with this issue and the rest, but not this electronic record.
[private]
Fine. Where do you wanna meet?
[private]
If you are not comfortable with my room, let us pick one of the study rooms in the library.
Re: [private]
[Fff let's get this over with. He'll show up after Hannibal, but not obnoxiously so.]
[private]
Hello. How are you feeling? [Calm, breezy, patient. The sketch develops inevitably.]
Re: [private]
Fine...?
[wary; he doesn't trust the calm exterior]
[private]
The truth is that you're about the one man imprisoned here who has the slightest chance of understanding how I feel. [A sudden stab of the pencil toward the Will sketch's face.]
Re: [private]
Does it help?
[he's pretty sure it doesn't, it's never helped him for long before, but he feels compelled to ask anyway.]
[private]
Like anyone with my particular afflictions I have good days and bad days. This was a bad day. Sometimes I cannot help but dwell upon his absence.

[He stares at Richie patiently, just long enough to make him visibly uncomfortable.]
...no.
[Then a tight little smile.] My penchant for elaborate revenge is another issue altogether. Let me simply say that some minds are more comfortable places to live in than others.
Re: [private]
[ he's never been very good at looking at things from someone else's perspective, walking a mile in another man's shoes. His mind may be an uncomfortable, hostile, disorganised mess, but he doesn't know how else it would be. So the look he gives Hannibal, though certainly unsettled, is more or less one of disregard.]

Re: [private]
Really.
[a pause, an uncertain laugh, like he's not convinced of his own words, but he knows it's the Right thing to say.]
I don't hear the walls.
[only when things get really Bad]
[private]
...I do.
Re: [private]
[a pause]
What do they say?
[private]
[He leans back, blinking rapidly and looking thoughtful.] Sometimes the voices are faint, in that very annoying conversation just out of range sort of way. Distracting. Irritating. It makes one nervous. One's blood pressure goes up, heart rate--it becomes impossible to not be tense. And the more the tension rises the worse the entire experience gets.
Other times the voices are very loud but still vague, which is perhaps the most maddening. But sometimes I can hear them quite clearly.
Re: [private]
[but what do yours say, Hanniballll, this is Important.]
Like what happened around Halloween. Only...just the voices.
[...if that makes you feel better?]

[He taps his lips with his finger as he draws from his case studies.]
They can be very demanding. They often call upon me to do violence to others, or whisper false secrets about those people into my ear. Worst of all is when they imitate the person with me, and make it appear that that person is talking.
Re: [spam]
[still wary, but he's starting to relax a little, leaning back in his chair and making himself comfortable. Which generally translates to trying to take up all the leg room.]

[He doesn't seem to mind the Richiesprawl. In fact he sees it as a good sign.]
Unfortunately Will was one of those people. But I'll let you in on a little secret about him.
