Jan 26, 2024 - Hannibal and Rebecca
|| Although amongst the transparent attempt to charm, I genuinely believe in the advice that if you can’t write well, write poorly. One of her problems is that she overthinks, tries too hard to sound fancy and cultured, and what she does get on the page suffers as a result. ||

Rebecca B.
Hello again. How are you doing tonight? It is good to see you again.
Hans Lector
Hello, my dear. My heart fills with joy to speak with you again.
Rebecca
I am very glad to see you again too. How are you?
Hans
I'm well, thank you, and yourself?
Rebecca
Doing better today, thank you. Getting over a slight cold.
Hans
-brings her chicken soup-
Rebecca
Oh thank you. *settles down to eat it* What have you been up to since we last spoke? :)
Hans
Trying to find some solitude and quiet. I do enjoy a nice party every now and then, but eh... I live with someone who throws them quite often. I did get some moments to myself to write a solo, for which I'm most grateful.
Rebecca
That sounds like fun. Writing solos is a good way to express yourself too. I have been working on a few, but they kinda stalled. lol Glad you found some time for yourself though. That's needful at times.
Hans
May I see them?
If it isn't presumptuous.
Rebecca
Sure.

That's one....I have so many...but that is my recent one.
Hans
That young lady is almost as charming as our Miss Becca.
Rebecca

This one is one I am most proud of so far. A 'What if' story.
and thank you very much! ♥
might I read some of yours sometime? If I may ask in return.
Hans
Of course, I have recently just posted one.
I don't know if you would be interested in this sort of thing, but
Rebecca
you write in the CAoF too? Faustus Blackwood is another guilty pleasure. Lol
Hans
I just started watching it, but yes, I muse him now too.
Rebecca
Is it to forward to say that I love you
*giggles*
for what you muse
I got big into CAoS when it first came out and I was hooked. In Archive, I even have a Faustus story I am trying to find the vibe for again.
Hans
I bet you say that to all the boys ;)
Please, don't spoil it for me. This journey is one of my favorite thus far.
Rebecca
No...not really. lol Haven't really met anyone I click with in a while to say that to. lol ;)
And I won't...but once you are done, I would love to discuss it with you! If you would like
Hans
Then I am honored to receive your 'love'.
Certainly!
Rebecca
You are sweet, you know that? 😊
Hans
Not often. There are some who find me rather sour.
To them I say they simply haven't got good taste.
Rebecca
Really? Well, then they just have bad taste is all
Same minds... :D
Hans
Yes, but did I read yours or did you read mine? Who can say.
Rebecca
Maybe it was just an instant connection?
Hans
Well... You said it, not me.
May I inquire as to whether you have a vote?
Rebecca
A vote? *tilts head* In what?
Hans
At the end of the solo I wrote, I wanted to know who would say Hannibal should join and who would say he should not.
The Church of Night.
Rebecca
one sec...reading again. lol :D
yes! He should join!
That would be an interesting take for sure. Hannibal in the Church of Night, not only as a member but as their chef.
Hans
Hannibal, bend the knee to Satan? That would be an interesting dynamic, since Hannibal himself is a Satanic archetype.
As their chef on ceremony. Though who's to say he wouldn't prepare a private meal for more intimate functions?
Rebecca
Ohh! Does that mean he can learn magic too? Cause Becca is magic user and is in TCoN in another verse....or was a while ago. Lol
Hans
I always thought there was something of a touch of the supernatural within Hannibal as he is. Receiving the dark gift would extend and enhance his abilities, and yes, provide him with something new.
Rebecca
I would love to see how that would play out.
Hans
As would I. I was going to ask if you also muse Faustus Blackwood, but perhaps it would be more interesting if I play the men and you play the women... For now. A delicate dance of dynamics.
Rebecca
I would be honored. :)
I really love our interactions as Becca and Hannibal too. I feel like they click together well.
Hans
Yes, far better than anyone else who has tried to get to know him thus far.
Rebecca
Ohh, that makes me happy. :D
Hans, 10:11:38pm
Your happiness makes me happy.
Rebecca
*hugs gently* I am glad I met you.
Hans
-returns hugs- As am I
Rebecca
Is it to forward, to say that I actually look forward to seeing you online? :3 Your writing is spot on, amazing, and talking to you makes me smile.
Which you have made my night tonight, so thanks. Last couple of days have been yucky cause--cold. but tonight is good!
and I am rambling....lol
Hans
I find your frankness charming and refreshing, my dear Lady.
And I do hope you feel better 😅
Rebecca
Thank you, I a blushing while I type though...and thank you, I do. I will.
Hans
They do say laughter is the best medicine, and perhaps blushing can help break a fever.
Rebecca
Perhaps...I will let you know. :P :D
Hans
Please do. I enjoy any sort of scientific or clinical research.
Rebecca
*chuckles* Now who is being cheeky? *teases*
I love it though, it's ok. Hehehe
Hans
Oh, dear. I was going for cheesy.
Suppose I got a letter off, then?
Rebecca
XD You're funny, I like that. :D
Hans
I hope it helps cure what ails you.
Rebecca
it is, I feel better speaking to you so thanks.
Also, is it ok if I just throw random banters or small starter to a few of your pics? Seen some that inspire.
Hans
I am pleased to be here for you, and of course, I invite you to share anything that inspires.
Rebecca
Same for you too, if you see any on my page that inspire you
Hans
Certainly. I do have a starter I believe may still be open.
Rebecca
I like random...cause I am naturally. Lol
Hans
I intended to add to this album far more frequently than I have, but here is my lone tumbleweed, my dust in the wind.

Random people are the most interesting.
Rebecca
You do! that one where Hannibal invites the muse to sit. I been playing around with that one in my head for a bit. Just can't seem to get my thoughts to make proper words. Lol
See...again....we click. :D
Hans
Then you've seen it! Hm, if I may offer some advice?
Rebecca
Yes, please.
Hans
Don't overthink it.
I find that a person's best work comes when they simply let themselves go without worrying overmuch of anyone else's thoughts or repercussions. It is when we are our most authentic selves.
Rebecca
True...I see how the muse wants to respond and can come up with a good reply...but then when it comes time to type it...sometimes my brain goes: 'Wat r werds?' 🤣🤣🤣
It's awful. Lol
Hans
If you can't come up with anything good, then write badly. It probably looks better than you think it does.
In such instances I find it helpful to dictate the response and... Pray that my partner understands my words.
Rebecca
Well, I haven't heard that one before. lol Write badly... *giggles*
Hans
Yes.
If you can't write well, write badly, because if you hold out for writing up to your own standards, time will pass and you'll have written nothing.
Rebecca
I can 'daydream' it out and then I totally forget what I was going to say when I sit down to write it.
that's true too. But then, I figure you would probably be able to understand what I intend....hopefully anyway. my thoughts are usually as random as I am at times.
Hans
Who else will breathe life into your daydreams but you?
Just something to consider.
Rebecca
That's true. Very true.
If I don't write it, it won't happen.
Hans
Precisely.
Rebecca
and I would love for it to happen and see where it goes.
Hans
I look forward to it.
There goes that bass again... I must go. Shall I see you again later?
Rebecca
Me too. I know we have one starter, and like....three different banters going on. Each one is at a different level though. Lol
I hope so! To see you again. Take care and see you soon! and thanks for making me feel better too. Speak soon.
