Hate to say it, but I have absolutely no effing clue just who you're talking about. I've gone by other weirdass names (Deathjester, Kuroneko, Darkchojin and ShadowHarlequin, if memory serves) but that one is as far from ringing any bells as a schoolboy splattered on the side of a clock tower. Although provided that the name caused you some confusion, would you care to clarify; endeavour to elaborate perhaps? This Gaspard guy sounds positively gripping...
There is said alliteration, bolded for your benefit. I'm so sweet and fuzzy at times.
I haven't actually seen Hannibal Rising yet, as I am a poor bastard. I'll need to work on both of those issues.
And think for a moment. Well-spoken quiet guy who works at odd hours of the night... just that description enough would provoke a reaction. No? Then let me tell you some a really bad joke to prove my point.
A little boy walks up to his mother one day and says "Mum, why is there a prawn between Grandma's legs?" His mother blinks, smiles and shakes her head and says "Honey, that's not a prawn; that's a clitoris."
The little boy scratches his head. "Well it
tastes like a prawn!"
So are you convinced yet or what? Hurry up, I have shit to do tonight; and most of it involves intensive eyelid study.
I'm not pessimistic; I've just realised that the light at the end of the tunnel is an incoming train.
