On his mun's plans to app him

[threedoctorates]

Mun,

As much as I appreciate the thought, are you sure this is wise? It's been several years.

I suppose I should be thankful that it's not Anatole with its cannibalistic elves, but a city where things can be accomplished with the power of your mind? Where you can just will things into existence? Are you sure that's--

Wait. They have a place called The Fibonacci Museum? The Library is more then one building?

[A long pause as he contemplates what that could mean. ]

I suppose I could take a look.

[raisingdad]

A Fibonacci Museum?

Does it have a spiral staircase?

[threedoctorates]

I have no idea, actually. I believe my mun is being deliberately quiet when it comes to giving me details in the hopes that I won't protest too much.

[raisingdad]

Ah, yeah, they're known to do that.

'See, Alexis? You're not even technically leaving New York City. It's not that bad...'

[threedoctorates]

She keeps telling me that I can supposedly "Bend" all the coffee I want.

I suppose that's her way of trying to make it better.

[raisingdad]

How do you "bend" coffee?

[threedoctorates]

I'm not entirely sure. From what I've gathered, it's the method by which things are done in Nautilus, you can 'bend' reality, as it were, and create things just by using your will.

[raisingdad]

Ah, ok. So, magic, basically.

[threedoctorates]

That's one way of looking at it.

[Which, now that he thinks about it, makes it so much cooler then those Vegas tricks he can do.]

[raisingdad]

What would be another way of looking at it?

[Conjuring things out of thin air? Sounds like magic to her.]

[threedoctorates]

That's one big dream.

Or I've suffered from a psychotic break.

[And considering his mom's history of mental illness...]

[raisingdad]

Yeah...

Though you would have others there with you. There must be some way to tell if it is or it isn't a dream or psychotic break.

[threedoctorates]

True. However, none of them are members of my team.

For instance, one happens to be Death.

[raisingdad]

Your team?

That brings up another point. Instead of a psychotic break if could be that you're dead and experiencing some sort of afterlife.

[threedoctorates]

I'm a FBI agent, assigned to the Bureau's Behavioral Analysis Unit.

True. Although I don't remember dying.

[raisingdad]

Oh! My father's fiancee is an NYPD homicide detective. Not quite the same, I know, but still.

Wait, the Behavioral Analysis Unit? Is that... profilers?

[Aaaand now they're going to talk about your job, Reid.]

[threedoctorates]

Yes. I don't envy their jobs either.

It is, yes.

[He doesn't mind that, actually.]

[raisingdad]

[Better than talking about his personal life, yeah?]

Don't let my dad find out. He'll want to question you.

He's a mystery writer and he basically jumps on anyone in law enforcement that he thinks has a cool job in order to get inspiration for his books.

[threedoctorates]

Sounds like a colleague of mine, David Rossi. Only Rossi helped establish the BAU, retired, wrote about it and then came out of retirement and is now with the BAU again.

[raisingdad]

Wow. Yeah my dad consults for the NYPD but he's not an actual police officer.

Can't tell him that though. He thinks he's some kind of combo of Sherlock Holmes and James Bond.

[threedoctorates]

He went from writing about mysteries to trying to solve them himself?

[raisingdad]

Yes. He was called in to consult on a case of a killer who was committing copycats of the murders in his books. And then he kind of.. asked the mayor to stay. And since the mayor's a friend, he obliged.

[threedoctorates]

And they let him go on cases, without any prior police training?

[raisingdad]

Yeah...

Sounds kind of marginally legal, I know, but he signed so many release forms that the NYPD probably owns him at this point. At first he wasn't supposed to even get out of the car when they were arresting perps but, yeah, my dad has trouble with rules.

[threedoctorates]

That doesn't sound too surprising, considering. I know plenty people like that and they're FBI agents.

[Like his whole team, but he wasn't saying that.]

[raisingdad]

There's a lot of hero-complexing going on in law enforcement, isn't there?

[Yes, she's thinking of you, Kate Beckett.]
