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.

[....Hmm.]

Stay there. I'll come get you.

You have to teach a dog to kill a man. It doesn't come to them naturally. I don't think anyone's dogs did that.

[ He also can't give a damn about Hannibal or not. THey all knew this would happen eventually, and likely repeatedly. It's the nature of the barge. ]

Do you need someone to come get you, Esther?

[ Hannibal is someone else's problem. ]

[Mal doesn't bother responding; she just heads up on deck, preparing a message for the Admiral on the way. Once she sees them both, she sends the resurrection request and heads over to crouch by the body.]

Sloppy, isn't it.

[The Piemaker was afraid of this happening. Too many people out for blood. He recognizes the body instantly and his expression freezes into a stoic mask.

The one saving grace from all of this is that Esther is not so badly affected]


Esther, stay away from it. Someone else will come to get it soon. You don't have to be near it.

I did. Take it down. I'll get my warden to bring him back.

[Iris is in the CTS, flinging a frisbee with one hand between comments.]

Oops. Esther love, can you give us a closer look at the bites? I don't think that were a dog.

Why the fuck did someone have to get to him first? [He's not too mad. Someone killed Hannibal. He's definitely happy about that. He's just disappointed he didn't do it. And oddly relieved, if you can get him to be honest.]

[Well, that's certainly enough to leave someone with nightmares and a child to come across it of all things. He's more concerned for her than the corpse, though she certainly seems to be handling it very well...]

Are you all right?
