[Hannibal stands centered in front of the camera, looking oddly calm and not disheveled in the slightest.]
I suppose I should make a proper introduction, and this seems the best way to do it although it's dreadfully impersonal.
I am Dr. Hannibal Lecter. I'm a psychiatrist, and was a physician for many years before my retirement from that field. However, if I've understood correctly we are facing some difficult times here, so I am happy to offer my medical services if needed. A shame about the rationing, too. Proper nutrition is essential, and there's nothing quite like a well-cooked meal.
But, regardless of the situation, I am very pleased to meet you all and I hope we can get to know each other better.

[Javert admits with the smallest of shrugs. He agrees that no one should go on the network prior to gathering themselves up. Didn't Javert do the same? Whatever feeling he's got, he decides to write it off as just a flutter in his gut; indigestion, maybe (if that's possible for a dead man). This man is perfectly respectable and collected, after all.]
Pardon me. I am Javert. [There is only a short pause before he abruptly cuts in with another question. Javert is not a man to 'mind his manners,' to say the least.] Do you intend to join a clinic, then? As a physician?

I intend to volunteer my services as a physician when I am needed. My intention is to start seeing patients for therapy if things settle down.

[He knits his brow.]
What kind of therapy do you mean?

[Oh, he's going to have a laugh about that one later.]
Sessions, usually an hour long, where we discuss in confidentiality anything that may be bothering you. It may lead to a medical diagnosis, if the problem cannot be solved with therapy alone.

Anything at all! [Javert murmurs.] I will guess that financial troubles must rank up there. Or infinite accounts of the annoyingly noisy neighbor. I do not envy your work.
[Not that Javert has not dealt with petty complaints for the vast majority of his career. It is all too familiar to him. He gives a nearly indiscernible shake of his head.]
Never seen Lithuania. I don't pay much thought to food, either. But I will tell you that you will not want my attempt at cuisine. I am not a cook.

[Come on, Javert. He gets to hear all these deep, personal secrets that might be of use in future emotional manipulation. It's fun.]
You don't know what you're missing; while not a chef by trade I am quite experienced when it comes to culinary matters. If the rationing is lifted, I shall have to host a gathering for dinner.

It won't be happening with the rationing, though, so yes, we'll see where that goes.

[It sounds more like a rhetorical question than one Hannibal is meant to answer. The question seems to flip a light switch in his head, and his eyes contract.]
Ah! That reminds me, I have got something to send to you newcomers, [he says curtly.] You should find it helpful in preventing yourself from breaking the local customs. And annoying the city guard. Among other disasters.

Thank you. I've been told about some of the customs here, but this should be very helpful.
