[OOC] Hi!! :D I was curious where you intend Adam’s storyline to go? Or if you have any set plans at all. Will you follow some of the plot of the movie or just entirely do you own thing ?
[OOC] Hey!! 🫶 Yes, I actually do have some plans! At least regarding how I want to incorporate the plot of the movie and the HEU.
Basically, I’d like everything to be similar to the movie. Adam will get to know Beth, meet her parents at the theater, and Beth and Adam will get into an argument but make up—UP UNTIL the part where Adam finds out that Beth lied to him and actually knew her parents were coming to meet him all along.
As we all know, Adam needs a new job after he got fired. Since Adam already has to drive from NYC to Hannibal for his therapy and has now made friends with Abigail, I plan for his new job offer to be close to Baltimore. He’ll start a new life and become more involved in everything going on in Maryland, all while navigating his own life as well.
So, that’s roughly what you can expect, but we never know what might happen!!
Someone told me today that ‘the stars have aligned.’ I checked. They have not. Stellar positions do not change in response to human events
Hey Adam! How are you doing today?
Hello,
I did not manage to answer you in time. I do not remember how I felt on May 2nd.
But if I apply your question to today, I’d say I feel desolation and a sense of culpability regarding my emotional state.As for what I’m doing; I’m packing boxes.
I’ve been trying to organize them methodically, much to Beth’s frustration. We argued about it yesterday. It makes my skin itch to watch her throw everything together without care.
Tonight, I’m going to the park to watch the raccoons. I hope it’ll settle my thoughts. I know it won’t, there’s no magic in distraction. But maybe if I keep myself occupied long enough, I can crowd out what’s pressing on me.
After all i understand that my routines aren’t efficient for moving. So, I’ll dissociate as much as I can.
That seems like an unnecessary comparison. Helen of Troy caused a war.
I just sat in a chair and read a book. But if you think beauty alone can tip the scales of history, I won’t argue.
Besides, I think I don’t mind being the cause of your awe. It’s nice.
Beth was over today. She took this picture while I was reading and said I should post it.
So I am.
You do not understand me. You pity me.
I didn’t ask her because I got nervous about it. I am not good at this stuff.
But she suggested going to the museum together. I think that would be a good idea—to do something she’s interested in.
Although I would much rather go to the planetarium.
I thought of taking Beth to the planetarium sometime, but I’m not sure if she’d like it
The Pleiades
Hello Dr. Lecter!,
I am very relieved to see that you are back. I am looking forward to our appointments as well.
I already asked Beth about it, she told me that she is more than excited to meet somebody as Prestigious as yourself.
That did surprise me considering she’s usually not as open to people from my life.
We will be there Friday evening!
I took the job offer in Baltimore.
I will be working as a guide at the Davis Planetarium. I’m very happy it worked out. The planetarium has such a rich archive and so many exhibits in rotation! I’ll have a lot to learn and organize, and even more to share. I am already experiencing a lot of excitement about that.
That means Beth and I will be moving to Maryland soon, leaving New York behind. I will miss New York. But I’m looking forward to seeing some people in Baltimore. And it’ll make getting to Dr. Lecter’s appointments easier, once he returns from his retreat.
hello adam, i drew you 🎉
You drew me? That’s interesting. I don’t usually see myself from an outside perspective. I like it!, a lot of people are actually bad at drawing others and capturing their emotions accurately. You seem talented. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
And thank you for all the artwork and insightful questions recently.
Would you like me to add your work to my account Banner as well?.
I think we should send Musk into space. One way trip. He's a genius, I'm sure he can find his way back if he wants to.
How are you by the way, Adam? I've been playing a lot of minecraft and I've been looking up at the pixelated stars a lot. They're pretty.

Despite this being an absolutely unrealistic idea I can‘t claim that I dislike fantasizing about it.
I am mildly melancholic at the moment, I have never played Minecraft but I don’t think their depiction of space is realistic in any way. Arguably that‘s not the point anyway.
What's your favourite instrument for observing space? (I mean as in out of all created ones, not just telescopes. Cause there's some pretty developed ones nowadays)
You’re right there are many advanced instruments for observing space, each designed for different purposes. The James Webb Space Telescope is one of the most impressive—it observes infrared light, allowing us to see distant galaxies and exoplanets in ways we never could before. But if I had to pick a favorite, I think the Voyager probes are remarkable. They carry the Golden Record, which is an attempt to communicate with any potential extraterrestrial life, and they are the farthest human-made objects from Earth. The idea that they might one day be found is… fascinating
