Warnings: Lovingly rendered violence, death and cannibalism



Never one to act impulsively, Hannibal had been carefully constructing his persona in Hadriel, tailoring his mansuit stitch by stitch, so that people saw him as a doctor, as a chef, as someone to be trusted and confided in. Likewise he had been building up Will's trust and confidence in him, as well as deepening their relationship, as friends, yes, but as something else, something more intrinsic that resonated in their hearts and souls. Hannibal was satisfied with what he had accomplished, and had been looking for an opportunity to sate an appetite that had been waiting, thrumming beneath the surface of his facade. The need for violence and death, the hunger for flesh and the thirst for blood. And what better way to begin than with his beloved? Consuming Will's flesh would draw the man even deeper into Hannibal's being. And since he would be resurrected, Hannibal could literally have his friend and eat him too.

The opportunity presented itself with the controversy over which gods should be sent on the reconnaissance mission. Will had angered quite a few people with his public assertion that Hope should be one of those sent out. Others had just as publicly vowed violence against anyone who would vote that way...it made for quite a convenient motive, especially considering Will's death would throw him on the mercy of that very god. There were, of course, other potential suspects, particularly Maketh. No one would suspect Hannibal, however, Will's devoted friend, who clearly loved the man and had no quarrel with him. Hannibal would be properly sorrowful that Will had been murdered, and properly overjoyed when he returned.

Will had a tendency to seek solitude, in this case going down to the lake to fish and to care for his pets. It was the perfect place for the perfect murder. Hannibal made his way down to where his friend was, careful to not be seen by his soon-to-be victim. If things went as planned, even Will himself would not know that Hannibal was his murderer.

Jill knows that Maketh likes to receive reports even on days when nothing happens, so she'll want to know about a death in the city right away. Especially one like this.

"No, he wouldn't." Jill knew how passionate Will was about fishing. She bought him that fishing pole, and he had been so happy to receive it. He was going to give her lessons.... Jill shook her head a bit to put those thoughts out of mind. She needed to focus on the situation at hand.

"I just woke up at Hope's temple. Like waking up any other day. Hopefully, Will won't keep us waiting too long." She forced a little smile for Hannibal as she looked down at the body again.

The first thing Jill noticed with the slit throat. She touched the cut, and it only took a moment for her to determine what she believed to be true. "He was cut with a knife. This wasn't a random monster attack. A person had a hand in this. I can't believe it..." That someone in the city could do such a thing.

Jill knew that Will and Hannibal were close. Hannibal was a concerned friend of Will's, so she felt complete sympathy for his loss. She cared a great deal about Will as well. Jill can only hope he returns soon.

"I don't know. Since you live with him, have you noticed anything out of the ordinary lately? Or someone who appeared particularly hostile with him for some reason?"

Hannibal and the body are the only things Jill really has to go on when it comes to discovering who did this.

Sometimes tempers flared, given the nature of the place they were living, but Jill frowns at the mention of threats of violence.

"Do you remember who said those things?" It would at least be a start to figuring out who might be responsible for this act. What happened to Will should not happen to anyone here. What else was the guard for? And yes, this death was personal for Jill.

Jill is familiar with Jo's anger issues, but she isn't sure the woman is the murdering type. Not that Jill knows her very well at all. The mention of Sato's name is also noted. She'll have to give these names to Henry to see what he thinks. He and Maketh are more familiar with any troublemakers that might exist in the city, though there typically aren't too many to begin with. And yes, Hannibal may be entirely right; the perpetrator could have said nothing at all to Will before killing him.

"We should move him to Hope's temple." They can't just leave the body here. Jill set her hand on Will to see if they could manage to lift him, and that's when she noticed something. Another wound. She stopped and lifted his shirt to have a look. "Dr. Lecter, look at this." Jill was no doctor, but the additional wound seemed a little like overkill.

Jill's been in the field for a long time. She was no detective, but she knew a lot about combat and injuries. She had seen plenty of them and even suffered some, as well.

"It's very strange. I'm no detective. What we need is a good profiler." Her lips became both sad and amused at knowing that the best one of those was lying dead in front of her.

"But... if I were a killer, and I intended to do it by slitting someone's throat, that's what I'd do first. Catch the victim off guard. Once his throat is slit, he won't be screaming for help, so why stab him here to stop him from making a sound?"

Jill gestured to the body wound again and then touched her fingers to her chin in thought. "If Will was ambushed and his throat was cut, only the killer probably knows why he or she would need to stab Will here a second time. Maybe it is ritualistic." But Jill can't figure what sort of ritual that would be... and she's not about to stick her hand inside of him Hannibal. Ew.

Jill reaches into her back pocket and takes out her phone, then holds it up to start snapping some pictures. It could be the only one who will be able to solve Will's murder will be Will.

Jill's not used to working on cases involving serial killers. Most of her cases have to do with bioweapons and zombies who eat people... so maybe this case isn't that different after all!

His offer gets a nod. "Yes, if you can manage." Jill will help out if Hannibal gets tired or struggles.

Jill reaches to lend a hand when needed. She was pretty strong, though she wouldn't be able to carry Will all by herself. She'll just make sure they all make it safely to the temple so they can let Will rest until his resurrection.
