Dictation - 1 [Video]

[drabsolutelynot]

Hello. [Rosen stares down his nose at the screen which is set a bit away from his face so as not to over-impose himself on anyone who might see this. His glasses are a bit scuffed from the excitement in the colosseum a few days ago but his clear brown eyes still show through] 

I had a few question I was hoping someone among you might be able to answer but I should probably introduce myself before I ask. 

[He straightens a bit, clearly uncomfortable on screen. He had been hesitant at the prospect of showing his face and had tossed the idea back and forth for the better part of the day but in the end he concluded it was probably the best means to his desired end.]

My name is Dr. Lee Rosen. I did my neurological and psychiatric residencies at Binghamton in upstate New York and I am also licensed as a general practice physician. 

[He falters a bit, bashfully rubbing the back of his head with a bandaged hand. He hates sounding like he's tooting his own horn. He also hates volunteering information about his life, working from the general assumption that people probably didn't care to know. He doesn't bother to mention the fact that he is a new arrival. That is a given.] 

I don't know if any of that might be useful here but if it could be I am happy to offer my services. 

[He pauses again before changing course]

It might seem a strange request but does anyone know where I might find music...or...or even perhaps somewhere I could get my hands on an instrument?

[Hannibal nods, quite fascinated.]

Interesting. When I arrived, I encountered a man who was able to control the sharks with his mind. Apparently, he's capable of controlling anything...or anyone...with a mind. He was also able to read my thoughts. Perhaps your research would have some insight on his abilities?

[Lee raises a silver brow at that]

I believe I might have met the same man in the coliseum.

[In fact that man had attempted to manipulate his mind in addition to the sharks]

Well now that you've mentioned it, Hannibal, I've actually been considering continuing my research here. In a manner of speaking. There seem to be quite a few people here with unusual abilities, and I think keeping a record of such phenomenon would not be insignificant.

[He turns his attention back to Hannibal]

And what about yourself? Your work with the FBI? In what capacity were you being consulted?

[tablewithoutpity]

We do seem to be in unique circumstances. That would be a rather productive way of taking advantage.

[Hannibal sits back, crossing his legs.]

I assisted in profiling serial killers, like the Chesapeake Ripper I mentioned. Ideally the profile would help the investigators locate the perpetrators before they could kill again.
