Entry #B-5: "Broad" [An Inn in Violet City, Video]

[dead_black_eyes]

[L's pokegear flickers on. Judging from the height and position, it is on a bookshelf in a room at a well-furnished and comfortable-looking inn. A television is well within view of the camera feed, and the room is empty save for L's Haunter Slightly

You are paler than I remember you being, Mr. Ryuzaki.

Perhaps, but I've met many individuals -- especially young ones -- who start out as feeling 'numb' and, within a few months of expressing such feelings, attempt suicide. Though I suppose I might have gotten a little ... rusty, so I do apologize if it was a rather 'random' conclusion. [ You know, since that 'forced retirement' and all.

He simply ... smiles at the rest of the conversation. ]

Ah, none of those, I am afraid. I would much rather pass peacefully in my sleep at a ripe, old age than undergo any of those unpleasant alternatives. Though, given only those choices, I suppose I would prefer drowning.

I doubt I myself would ever resort to any form of suicide. It's a rather cowardly way to escape one's life.

Drowning? Why drowning?

[This seems to be something that L fixates a bit on.]

It's a very difficult way to go, isn't it?

[Video]

[usedquidproquo]

Yes, it would be, but the other options ... were not very appealing. In any case, I'd rather be presentable for a funeral or easily identifiable for the department that finds my body.

[ Mmhmm, L, do you have some issues you want to talk to Dr. Lecter about? He'll listen~ ]

Which would you choose, Mr. Ryuzaki, of those choices you had given me?

[Video]

[dead_black_eyes]

It's pointless to discuss it. I'm not suicidal.

[Totally hanging.]

Why drowning?

[Video]

[usedquidproquo]

Neither am I, yet I answered your question. Are you afraid of your own answer?

[ OH HE'S GOT YOU NOW. >:) ]

[Video]

[dead_black_eyes]

If you insist, I'd go with gun to the mouth. It's quick and relatively painless, and no matter how I die, I'm not terribly concerned with having a recognizable or presentable corpse. It wouldn't exactly be my problem at that point, anyway. Does that suffice, Doctor, if "none of the above" isn't an option?

[Video]

[usedquidproquo]

I suppose it does, but would it by your hand or another's?

[ YOUS TROLLIN. ]

[Video]

[dead_black_eyes]

We're calling this hypothetical scenario a suicide, right? Doesn't that rather rule out another person doing it to me?

It would be more certain by my own hand, but more interesting by another's. Anyone would feel the same.

[Video]

[usedquidproquo]

Ah, I had assumed it was a general death option. My mistake, Mr. Ryuzaki. [ "Hey Mickey" just came up on my iPhone. So ... this is the song I'm tagging to and I thought you should know. ]

Indeed it is. It is more personal when another does it, and the one investigating the murder would wonder what could have transpired between the victim and the murderer for such a thing to occur.

[Video] LOL MICKEY

[dead_black_eyes]

I'm sure that someone like a detective or a psychiatrist would wonder about it, at least, and probably substitute it for masturbation for a full week.

But now we're discussing the aftermath, the investigation... one man's hypothetical suicide carrying on far longer than it would for him, if he succeeded.

[video] OH MICKEY YOU'RE SO FINE, YOU'RE SO FINE YOU BLOW MY MIND *HEY MICKEY)

Hannibal simply raises an eye at that. ] Have you had such experience with individuals like that? I must admit-- I have merely heard of such things occurring. Nobody I've met has ever ... done such a thing. As far as I'm aware, of course. [ L, do you have something you want to talk about? ]

Perhaps we are, though I believe you took it ... a little far, with your comment before.

[video] XD

[dead_black_eyes]

Oh, right. Sorry, I forgot that sex and related activities are scandalous to old people.

It's certainly not difficult to imagine. I mean, if you're a psychiatrist, you must know something about paraphilias.

[video] pffffffffffffft what is my life, singing cheerleading songs and tagging as a cannibal

[usedquidproquo]

[ Yer darn right, now git off my lawn, you whippersnapper! /shakes cane

But... yeah. He'll just ignore that comment for now lolol ]

It certainly isn't, as I have spoken with necrophiliacs and it certainly cannot be any different from that, but it seems unlikely for somebody to be turned on by such ... things to have passed the psychological test to become a member of the police force. [ Psychiatrists, on the other hand-- ]

[video] BEST life. >:)

[dead_black_eyes]

Not different? The difference is massive. At the root of the necrophiliac's depravity is the desire to be accepted unconditionally, and...

Really, it's the opposite. The desire to accept unconditionally, perhaps, the desire to give everything provided the killer is strong enough to take it.

It's what I would think of someone willing to allow themselves to be murdered, at least.

You have a lot of faith in the system, and that surprises me.

[video] sob sob

[usedquidproquo]

The core similarity being, of course, the attraction to something that is not living. Something that cannot leave. Something that cannot ruin a fantasy.

It would do no good not to trust the system. It proves itself useful on occasion, and while I do not blindly put my faith into it, there are some things I believe will stay constant. Corruption is one of them; as is the lack of 'dangerous' mental disorders in officers of the law.
