Yeah, hi. Sorry to be a bit brusque here, Doc. I heard it through the grapevine you’re a psychiatrist.

I’d like to hear your thoughts on our brand new, resident psycho. [ Oh. Wait a sec, ] So really it’s less a question, more a friendly request.

[il_mostro]

The grapevine would be correct.

[One corner of his mouth quirked up.] My current thoughts, since he or she is not a patient and probably never will be ... can be made public. Right now, he or she strikes me as a sado-narcissist. Clearly he or she is enamored with their own self-identity as the Gamemaster. They thrive on creating drama, but not being the negative center of it. In fact, they resent it being pointed out that people are not enjoying his or her app.

[ Tony’s reply is pure, death-dry deadpan: ]

My heart weeps for them.

What about finding EROS?

[il_mostro]

I lack the required hacking skills it would take -- but if given the right information ... I know enough to dismantle him and his sadistic fantasies from the very core.

Why, do you have some idea of where I can find this disturbed individual?

[houseparty]

[ “Hacking”; thank goodness this is audio only, so Hannibal won’t have to see the briefly pained look that crosses his face. “Brute force incursion”, though more accurate, just doesn’t have the same kind of snap to it. ]

That just so happens to be my area of expertise. Gonna need a little time though, Huntr’s locked down tighter than Fort Knox.

[Hannibal let out a long sigh, before he spoke once more.]

I did not think it would be easy - but I do have a long history of assisting the FBI with finding people with these sorts of personality disorders. I can offer you my services, and the services of some good friends of mine. We should be able to get you closer by sharing what we know about this sort of mental illness - not to mention being able to track this person down afterwards.

[houseparty]

[ he makes a little noise of pleasant surprise. ]

A profiler? Are you acquainted with Will Graham?

[il_mostro]

[Hannibal's smile is just a curl of one lip, before he responds.]

Intimately. We were friends for many years. If you are looking for a true profiler -- you could not do better than Will. He has a gift for this sort of thing.
