Sure looks that way. What got the guy this time?

private | permatext

[ecks]

a person who saw what he was discussing on the network got him

private

[harlequinofhate]

Tax cuts for the rich?

private

[ecks]

I know what he said to you
he cannot pay you because he is dead now

private

[harlequinofhate]

What did he say to me exactly? 'Cuz I'm feeling a wee bit confused.

private

[ecks]

he said
I don't care what it costs.
I want you to end House.
I want you to drain him of his blood, burn the blood, and burn the body.

that is what he said to you

private

[harlequinofhate]

That is what all this is about? Some jerk wanted to wack some other jerk who was probably gonna get himself killed within the week anyway?

Jiminy christmas, people, the whole murdering psycho shtick doesn't work when we're all doing it!

private

[ecks]

correct

[Now to bring into play everything she knows about the Joker and cudgel her brain into producing the most manipulative series of sentences she can imagine.]

it is not funny
it is boring
it would be boring and unfunny if you murdered Doctor House

private

[harlequinofhate]

Hey, cute, you've been paying attention!

And I agree. Not much funny about murdering House, it's old hat at this point.

Re: private

[ecks]

[Wait. Wait, was he...not going to murder Doctor House, regardless?]

correct

[A moment's hesitation, then:]

which other people here are murderers?
I want to tell them a joke

private

[harlequinofhate]

You'd know as many of 'em as I do, kiddo.

private

[ecks]

you do not know who here murders people for pay?
that is funny
or possibly unfunny

[She's not sure which will offend him.]

private

[harlequinofhate]

Oh, I do...

But here's the rub...

In a world with no justice system anyone could be the sort to off folks in exchange for something. Anyone.

private

[ecks]

incorrect
not all people are willing to murder other people

private

[harlequinofhate]

Wrong-o.

There's a little killer clown in all of us. Some people just need a bit more of a push than others before the killer comes out, that's all.

private

[ecks]

which people need the least push?

private

[harlequinofhate]

Thinking of killing 'em? Could be just the push they need.

private

[ecks]

[Nooo. No, that is against all the rules...but a lie is in order, here.]

yes
I am thinking of killing all the people most likely to murder Doctor House
