who is hannibal gonna kill without getting caught??? a missing teacher would be too noticeable, and there are too many students around who would probably notice their local pre-med senior dragging a bloodied freshmen down a poorly lit hallway

there are a lot of tragic accidents though. a kid “trips” down the stairs, another gets “food poisoning” from the cafeteria, both are found dead. nobody notices but they’re definitely a kidney or two lighter than when they were still kickin’. wild

random student: hey hannibal, did you hear about that kid whose bookshelf fell on top of him while he was studying? so sad

hannibal, eating some homemade “chicken” soup: tragic

college definitely hampers a lot of hannibal’s style. where’s the fun in hanging your disfigured victim from the ceiling in a grotesque, symbolic way when all you can think about is the essay you have to write in the next 3 hours on the value of human life :/ 

also... he doesn’t have anywhere to cook??? so either he’s chowing down on a lot of human sushi or the school cafeteria needs more security cameras 

also...... roommates???? what’s hannibal gonna do when someone (will, for this au) steals a snack from his desk and eats some really good but definitely not Normal beef jerky 

will (hannibal’s new roomate): why is your mini fridge filled with what looks to be intestines
