[poor Barnham, what did he ever do wrong]

And what are your thoughts on that list of suspects?

[uraniumnumnum]

[ shockingly, barnham once again avoids getting implicated by ash... how long will it last. ]

My thoughts? Xion, Will and Lecter are the most suspicious. Those are my thoughts.

[thatsthespirit]

[she nods, although frowns at Xion's name]

Why those three in particular? Xion especially feels out of place, considering her nature.

[uraniumnumnum]

She has connections. A lot of them. And she knows more than she's letting on.

[ that's all he says, though, before turning a skeptical eye on her. ]

And what about your thoughts? I think I've said quite enough.

[thatsthespirit]

[she thinks about this, and shakes her head]

I don't believe it's Xion. [she says simply] She may have connections and know more than what she's letting on, but if she were responsible for the stocks I believe she'd be in a much worse state than she is now.

As for Dr. Lecter and Will-- ah. . . well, Will is a bit suspicious.

[HE DID GOAD A MAN TO MURDER TODAY, AFTER ALL]

So I wouldn't be surprised if he's keeping a lot of secrets up his sleeve as well.

[uraniumnumnum]

[ a nod. ]

Will claims he knows everyone that's murdered someone. But he doesn't care about this game. On the other hand, Lecter does... and Will probably tells him most everything. So why doesn't he use that information? Because he has his own agenda.

[ he doesn't respond to the bit about Xion - he simply disagrees. Xion has some backbone in her; she could kill and hurt if she had to, he thinks. ]

[thatsthespirit]

[oh, she believes Xion can hunt. she just. . . doesn't think Xion would be the same person she is now if she did]

His own agenda. . .

[she frowns a bit]

But what sort of agenda could that be?

[uraniumnumnum]

Assisting the Sheriff. Guiding the game so that it's sufficiently "entertaining," or whatever inane criteria he has for you all.

[ he exhales through his nose, closing his eyes for a moment. ]

It's only speculation. But I'd rather act on speculation than wait for some fool to kill me for a pitiful reward.

[ha]

Quite frankly, I understand that desire well enough. Especially seeing as this game has gone on longer than it should have.
