Sixth little lie ♰ 'Cause the devil works quick, you know it don't take long

(CW: gore)

Who did this?

[Today you don't get charm, Barge, you're in for something completely different. Esther's standing on the deck, eyebrows knit, mouth a thin line, looking troubled. The reason why becomes apparent when she swings her communicator around and captures an image of something becoming increasingly common on the Barge: a bloodied corpse, this one of one Hannibal Lecter. That in and of itself isn't so strange, and even a young murderess is clever enough to pick up on that. The strange part is that this death was obviously not due to a human attack; the claw and bite marks attest to that.]

This is the man everyone is angry with. Someone set a dog upon him, right? [She doesn't sound disturbed so much as disapproving, and the feed swings back to capture her face still wearing that frown.]

…A warden will need to bring him to the hospital. [By which she means infirmary.] I'm not going to stay here alone.

Not sure.

I'll be up in a moment. Don't go anywhere with Bond.

Riddick has that dog-thing. Arthas has an undead bear lumbering around. They'd be my first two suspects. Of the dog owners -- Iris has two new German Shepards, but she'd never do it. The Marquis, Ned, Bruce Banner, and Megamind all have dogs, but none of them are in the condition to do this sort of thing. Banner's dog is trained for medical service. This sort of thing would be impossible for it, and Digby's a golden retriever - they're known for their soft mouths and gentle.

No. Riddick or Arthas. Might've been an accident in Riddick's case, but I doubt it.

It's not the animals you worry about, it's the men holding the leash. Riddick's close to Ned. So's Arthas. They're both good suspects. Could build a case against either.

[ He's on the second floor-- it's not a long walk up, but he'll get there eventually. ]

[ He chuckles on the line, having switched to voice while he walked. ]

I imagine that was the point, if it was Arthas; and no, I don't. Hannibal's angered too many people who have a lot of friends.

The only reason I haven't is because [ someone else asked him not to ] it's not me he hurt. Everyone else already got their champions of 'justice'.

Riddick would be demoted. Arthas has nothing to fear.

My money's on Arthas, but Riddick's a close second.

[ He's on the deck, now and pockets his communicator once he settles. Yes, good. There she is. ]

I think that we can tell them whatever we please, but wardens will do what they're going to do. They can't even control each other.

I don't know. Not really a guy I know well. [ But he doesn't sound too put out with him, either. ] I know. But they don't. And that's why there's no justice on the barge.
