joint post; the murder of ironwood: conclusion
The transmission begins with the ID of the Alderwood Emperor, though it is not Evandau that sits at this console. Hannibal Lecter, rather, is the one ready to speak, though there is a statement from the former Commander first.]
The Foreigner investigations into the murder of the Ironwood Emperor resulted in the identification and apprehension of a suspect. He will air his conscience here before punishment is commenced.
[Then, he quiets and a hand pushes at Hannibal's shoulder. The message is clear: Get on with it.]
I suppose I’ve got to get these formalities in, although I do appreciate the opportunity for some last words. [He turns to Evandau.] I don’t suppose I get a last meal request, do I?
No. [The single word is uttered with the strictest control over his tone.]
[He chuckles. A few people knew just what he did with most of his victims, how far that’s gotten around, he has no idea.]
It was I who killed you Emperor, I who committed the string of murders a few months ago, and I who anonymously called upon Malicant. The first was because I cannot tolerate a poor host, the second because I had powers I don’t usually have and didn’t want to waste the opportunity, and the third was because it was entertaining.
[He straightens his suit, which is a little bloodied up from his capture.] Formal apologies to all of my patients as well as anyone I had agreed to meet in person. As flattering as it would be if you all had nightmares about narrowly avoiding death at my hands, I feel obligated to inform you that neither my patients nor my guests were ever in any danger. That would be bad practice, on my part. [Because despite being a serial killer he needs to take care of his image.]
And my deepest apology to Abigail Hobbs. I wish you the best of luck in this life.
Everyone else, if you’d like to air your grievances, I’d love to listen. I’ll take them all as compliments, really.
[It is at this point that Evandau intercedes.]
You have one hour. The prisoner will be executed at the end of this hour and there will be no further opportunities to converse with him.
[There is a promised finality to his tone and then the transmission ends.]

Hannibal will be unavailable for plots/posts after this date in Tu Shanshu. Cass will be dropping him, but intends to backtag all current threads (and threads from this post) to completion.

[What she's seen in his smugness over the crimes, and how Hannibal used powers just like the ones Korra had to do what he did isn't making her set face disappear any time soon.]
but physically killing him won't do anything. [Before she even lets that linger in the air:] And I don't mean revenge.
I mean spiritually.

An arrangement has been made to deal with his spirit, Avatar. One that will see it never again emerge from Death. Does that appease you?
Video; Evandau; Private
[It's a lot harder to say and comes out forced.]
Will it purge the negative energy from his spirit in the process?
[She knows it might seem trivial, but to take something away from Hannibal and still be doing the right thing; it's a balance to her.]
Video; Evandau; Private
[And will forever bind Hannibal's spirit in Death, which appeases him.]
Video; Evandau; Private
[Taunt Eshai's fate eternally.]
I can take that away.
Video; Evandau; Private
[Evandau will torture him before having his soul banished into Death, so that he may carry that pain of death-and-resurrection as many times as the magic allows before Sabriel's arrival in the morning.]
Speak with Sabriel if you wish details, but I cannot commit to allowing more. I will not risk her task being compromised by interference.
Video; Evandau; Private
I understand.
[A nod.]
Emperor.
[Disconnecting so she can get to contacting Sabriel.]
