hyperkinesia: (We could rule out a few places.)

[ The device turns on to a man looking just a hint disheveled, but overall he looks very mild and gathered. He's taken his time to calm down by now, after all. ]

Ah, hey, so I read the... [ He lifts the pamphlet and waves it a little, though not at all dismissively. ] ... this little brochure. Very helpful, actually, so thanks to whoever wrote it. And yeah, you guessed it, I'm new.

[ It might be a little difficult to tell whether or not he's being honest in his appreciation, but this time he really is. ]

So. Parallel universes, who would've thought. Guess stranger things could've happened. [ Except not really. But it's nice to think that. ] I won't bore any of you with questions, I got the gist of it by now.

But I'd like to know if there are any experts out there, if I can pick your brain. Not just on alternate realities, but space and time traveling, wormholes, portals, pocket universes - which is what I'm assuming this all is.

[ He sets the brochure aside and rubs a hand briefly down his face. ]

Because here's the thing - how does a place like this even happen? This is tiny, unbelievably so. Even if opening a wormhole that can actually travel across different dimensions without any visible devices or power source, how can it happen with several? Because for not just one or two universes, but dozens or hundreds of them to be converging here, and from fluctuating times and points within them, this place should be... I don't know, torn into pieces, disintegrating entirely. No laws of physics can explain this, and just - you know what, just spare me the speech on how physics don't work the same way here.

[ He's trying to keep it simple for the common listener, but just in case he didn't succeed, he adds as a final thought. ] This place is impossible.

[ Not that he won't try to make some sense of it, and for now at least seeing if he can find someone who'll help him with that seems like the best option. That, and finding a quiet corner where he can stay. ]

Thanks for listening. And for answering, if you do. [ He hesitates for a moment before he finally decides to add. ] Name's Bruce Banner, by the way.

[ Not that he has a lot of hope that he'll find someone here he knows, but... well, yesterday he'd have said something like this would be hilariously impossible. So who's to say. ]

As I said, she mentioned it when I explained that I was the younger version of Hannibal Lecter here in Wonderland. I haven't seen this second one myself to verify it, but Alice didn't seem to be the lying sort.

Aliens posing as gods. Some of the worlds all of you come from seem odder than Wonderland itself.

[This isn't the first time he's wondered if he's having a huge practical joke played on him. If these people didn't seem so honest about what they were saying and others didn't confirm it, he might doubt it and himself.]

I hadn't thought of it that way yet.

[Then again, the time he's from doesn't have space travel or anything of that sort. People who talk about aliens are considered strange to say the least. It's quite a few years before Erich von Däniken gets to writing.]

[At the question, he nods. He's gotten used to people re-asking his name. It just hasn't occurred to him why they do that yet beyond there being two of them. That doesn't mean he isn't watching Bruce for anything odd.]


Doctor Hannibal Lecter, yes.

A different time, world, universe or whichever term you prefer. We're both doctors but different sorts. I'm a surgeon, he's a psychologist. I was drawn from 1951, but it was 2013 or so for him. I am eighteen, and he looks to be late forties.

[If Bruce has ever seen the movies or read the books, this Hannibal fits the timeline. Red Dragon was set in 1980 with Lecter captured in 1977. The 2013 Hannibal would have to be in his eighties to be the same one.]

We aren't the same person as far as I can tell.

[Hannibal gives a small careless shrug. He doesn't think much of or worry about the elder version. The young rarely are.]

Why do you ask?

Ah.

[Hannibal is silent for a few beats before he gives Bruce a serious look. It's his eyes that sometimes gives him away like now. He's eighteen and still prone to mistaken, lacking the experience of the adult Hannibal with a perfect mask. He's a little unsure here, unused to asking anyone to include him.]

Should you find out anything about Wonderland or any sort of pattern, can I ask that you tell me? Like the others, I would like to know.
camebefore: (if you come for answers)

Thank you, Doctor Banner. I look forward to hearing from you.

[At present, he suspects nothing from Bruce Banner. He seems pleasant enough, intelligent and polite. All qualities Hannibal appreciates.]

Until then.

[With that, he ends the feed.]
