Will's Insight | Opt-In Post
Monday, 27 February 2023 12:07In the series Hannibal, Will Graham is shown to have a unique ability- he calls it 'interpreting the evidence', whereas Hannibal calls it 'pure empathy'. It lets Will know what the people around him are feeling, often to Will's detriment. Will frequently appears to be overstimulated by the outside world, slumping in chairs and avoiding eye contact. He finds comfort in dogs and being alone.
However, this ability can often be extremely useful for determining motivations, desires, and fears. When he uses it at crime scenes, the series shows murders taking place as if Will were the culprit. He sees fantastical visions and metaphorical imagery as he places himself in his target's place, seeing the world as they see it.
I'd like to write out some of this imagery in narration as I roleplay, but I also don't want to infomod. So if you are interested in letting Will into knowing your character through this ability, please reply here.
What I'd like to know (feel free to copy+paste, or just write out what you'd like)--
Thanks, and please let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to know or talk over with you.

PSL: Travels outside the Barge (w/Malcolm)
Monday, 20 February 2023 20:07Piloting their new ship is a little difficult. It takes reading the (somehow enclosed) manual back-to-front and learning the control panel, now situated in what looks like a little closet on the window side of the living room. It's in the new hallway that leads to the small courtyard, which Will intends to decorate once they get this one chore done first.
Thankfully, the majority of the controls are intuition-based, going off the person who puts their hand on a small orb on the panel. The rest, as it turns out, is tweaking. And luckily (or otherwise), no tweaking is necessary for their first flight.
They're heading to Will's home world.
But Will doesn't specify where, just a year later than he left. he inadvertently brings them to where he'd left. The door opens from a wall of Hannibal's cliffside home, and looks out onto the driveway. The Dragon's wings are still there, staining the cement. They overlook the grey day and the churning seaside.
Will finds himself stuck in the doorway, unsure whether he's compelled to walk out and remember or slam the door shut and take them elsewhere.

•CONTACT METHOD: PM or Plurk
•THREAD-JACKING: Thread-jacking is totally fine with me!
•FOURTH WALLING / CANON PUNCTURE: Any fourth-walling or canon puncture is also fine by me. Will would probably be amused by the book series, honestly.
•BACKTAGGING: Yeah, bring 'em in as late as you want. If we hit a plot choke-point, I may ask for a planned resolution so everyone involved can continue elsewhere, but I definitely don't mind taking extra time.
•AVOIDED TOPICS: Nothing I can think of right now. Will add if anything pops up.
•PREFERRED GENDER PRONOUN: Anything's fine!
