That must have been interesting.

[Hannibal very rarely lied outright. Still, such a price was not something he would like to chance.]

'Interesting' is quite the word for it. I'd been going by a different name at the time.

Didn't help that we had one of our 'glitches' and had to communicate through the network. I gave up trying to keep secrets after that trainwreck.

[tablewithoutpity]

Ah, yes. Thus drawing the animosity of Dr. Watson.

What has it been like, having no secrets?

He seems to have cooled down a little bit after all this time. And his own couple of murders.

[ He can't particularly enjoy the schadenfreude there, considering John was dealing with mind control at the time. But it's still worth noting. As to the question? ]

It's been...freeing. I was used to changing my alias every other day- having to hold onto 'Zane Taylor' for so long made me feel like I was going to crawl out of my skin.

[tablewithoutpity]

He was quite understanding when I attempted to kill his friend.

I must admit, such radical transparency is...foreign to me. I'm uncertain I would take to it quite as well.

Maybe not, but at least you'll be prepared for it if the town forces it out of you. It's weird, the people here-

[ How does he even put this, that the majority of people in this place are- surprisingly- not awful? He ultimately decides to go another direction. ]

They're more forgiving than you'd think- other than John, of course. You make a gesture of trying to at least get along here and they mostly leave you alone. The big heroes realized there's not much they can do after the Joker made that clear.
