Oops.

Post in as yourself in Milliways (in costume since it's the day before Halloween), meet your pups, meet other pups, try out new pups, revisit old pups, start your own topic threads, whatever.

"He is far too interesting to eat him," Dr. Lecter says. "After all, you can only eat anything or anybody once."

[fightingthecage]

'Sure, sure.'

'He might let you have a nibble every now and again, though. If he thinks it's hot. OK, NOT THE POINT. I suppose my point is the 'ending well' thing - what if you get bored? He might look a bit more tasty then.'


'...that was, in no way, a recommendation for a way to end the relationship.'

[cook_the_rude]

"You don't know Will yet," Dr. Lecter says. "There are perfectly good ways of making sure he doesn't get boring that involve nothing worse than chicken soup."

[fightingthecage]

'OK, fair point.'

'Wow, you're a really manipulative man. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. And no, I don't know Will, but I kind of feel sorry for him already.'

[cook_the_rude]

"Wait until you get to know him," Dr. Lecter says. "I take it that sentiment gets worse."

[fightingthecage]

'Well, that's just weird. If you acknowledge that you're making things bad for him, why not just leave him alone? Yea yeah, he's interesting...but it's not all about you, man.'


'If we ignore the title of your show, and all the previous works, that is.'

[cook_the_rude]

"There you have your answer," Dr. Lecter says.

Pause.

"And loving somebody isn't at all about making things better for them. You should know that, of all people, if I look at some of the things you've inflicted on characters that you love."

[fightingthecage]

'Oi! I tend to make things better for them in the end. And then they appreciate it more because they've had to work for it.'

*huff*

'Anyway, if I was nice to the all the time it'd be boring as hell. And most of the stuff I do is canon, which is hardly my fault.'

[cook_the_rude]

"How very nice of you to make my case for me," Hannibal says, with a small micro-smile.

[fightingthecage]

'It'd be the point if I was having this conversation with Maru. You, on the other hand, have got no excuse. Unless you're fine with admitting that your destiny is in no way in your own hands.'

*eyes him*

'How d'you feel about other people driving the bus, doc? Doesn't it bother you?'

[cook_the_rude]

"It would be if we were talking about me," Dr. Lecter says. "But we're not talking about me. We're talking about Will. He needs a bus driver for the time being."

[fightingthecage]

'Does he think he does? Or have you just made him believe that?'

[cook_the_rude]

"He has no way of telling what is good for him," Dr. Lecter states. "He's far out at sea, and I am his paddle."

[fightingthecage]

*cacklesnort*

'Um. OK.'




'Sorry, I'm British. I have a filthy sense of humour.'

[cook_the_rude]

"You're thinking 'paddle' as a spanking instrument, either used on schoolboys in the old time, or as in formal sexual sadomasochism today?" Dr. Lecter states.

[fightingthecage]

'Oh, either. Both. Or as a euphemism. All at once. Sorry, it's been a long day.'

It probably shows that I'm not in the least bit sorry, right? He's a smart fella. He'd pick up on it even if I were trying to hide it.

'But on that note, I think I should probably go to bed before I say something that'll get me into trouble. You strike me as a bloke who's only tolerant to a certain point.'

[cook_the_rude]

"I am," Dr. Lecter says. "At least I haven't asked for your business card yet, have I?"

He smiles.

"But yes, do that. I think I am going to have my electricity withdrawn as well because Maru claims she needs an early night. I hope I made you curious."

[fightingthecage]

'Well, you could ask. But I haven't got one.'

I think, perhaps...I should never give my business card to this guy. If I got one.

'Definitely curious, ol' son. I'll watch your show when I get a chance. Don't expect me to like you though; I do generally like bad guys, but eating people's just a step too far. Still, I'll reserve judgement.'

*probably going to love him, alas*

'Well then! 'til you next chat up one of my boys.'

*grin*

'Night night.'

[cook_the_rude]

"Good night, Ms. Write," Dr. Lecter says, winks at you, and then turns to the next unusual patron.
