Did he—? [ John pauses. ] You think he led Evie into this? Feel like... like he's not—

[ Not what? Not capable of that? Blake knows well enough that you won't know the extent of a person's willingness to manipulated unless you're a manipulator or close observer and he's neither of those things. ]

Jesus. He fuckin'— [ Blake swallows. ] They picked the wrong people to screw with.

Yeah, tell me about it. But listen, man, whether anyone led anyone to anything? I don't care. This is all sorts of fucked up and anyone involved with it and on the wrong side deserves to go down.

[ off with their heads, as goes the wonderland saying. will might not have wanted evie to be directly involved, but at the end of the day him keeping info from her had gotten her killed and will had known it could end exactly like that. ]

[ Blake lets out a puff of air. He wants to express caution at sweeping gestures, but he's not about to start an argument. He opts for a middle ground. ]

Do we know everyone on "the wrong side" yet? Will's got more friends than just Hannibal, I think.

Hannibal and Will, that's about it, I think-- but if anyone else pops up? [ and a part of him hopes someone will. ] I'll tell you what I told Cas, anyone who has a problem with Will gettin' his teeth knocked in can file a goddamn complaint-- it ain't stoppin' the guy from getting what's coming to him.

Yeah, okay, fair enough.

[ John's not going to argue. In fact, when he sees Will Graham, he won't have trouble putting a fist in the other man's eye socket either. It's more Hannibal he's worried about, though it goes mostly unsaid. ]

Then what?

Then, we find Hannibal. Evie said she stabbed him, so there's a chance he actually died from the blood loss. Unless someone patched him up. Either way, dude's gonna hole up somewhere. We gotta find and skin him.

After that we could lock him up somewhere.

Until an event. Or until someone takes pity on him. Then what, Dean? What's gonna stop him from doin' it again?

[ Blake can't help himself. He doesn't need to police all of Wonderland, but he suspects that urging them to think a little harder about their decisions is partially his responsibility. ]

Don't underestimate him.

[ John himself is a hair's breadth from making a suggestion himself, but he somehow manages to stop himself. ]

I don't-- know, alright? With this place there is no sure plan, I'm just trying to think of something that'll work for now. I mean, shit, we can kill the dude enough times to hopefully make it permanent, but somethin' tells me the more faint of heart're gonna have a problem with that. Or he could just keep diggin' his ass outta that grave no matter how many times we put him down.

Who're you workin' with on this?

[ He's not even going to address the rest. He's just going to hope Sam's involved and go to the Winchester with more sense (sorry, Dean). ]

[ how about u say it to his face blake ]

Sam's the first person Evie went to-- so he's the only one I care about who is working on this. Evie's got call on whoever else she might wanna invite into this mess.

Mm. Her an' I talked some.

[ Blake sighs. He's on the other side rubbing his eyes and wondering why this can't just be easy. ]

She'll shoot 'im herself if she gets the chance, I'm guessin'.

And I'd watch with a front row seat if I knew it wouldn't end badly for her.

[ evelyn deserves to get revenge just as much as anyone who has been victimized by hannibal lecter.

anyway. ] Do you actually have any ideas on all of this, or did you just come squeeze me for mine?

[ Blake almost laughs on the other end, which is something else considering the subject matter. ]

You hunt monsters, right?

[ What he's saying is equally important as what he's not saying here. ]

[ hunting down hannibal is all well and good on his to-do list already. ]

That would be the job description, yeah.

[ it doesn't solve the problem in the long run, but damn, it'll feel great. ] Do you want in on the hunt, or what? [ or gonna keep those hands of yours crispy clean? ]

Lemme think on that. I'll get back to you.

[ Which is to say, he's got some soul searching to do. Odds are pretty good he'd like to be there, but he doesn't exactly have room in his life for a dubiously functioning moral compass, right? If he reorients to point toward somewhere other than true north, who knows if he'd ever find his way back. ]

Thanks, Dean.

[ maybe he's a little surprised blake doesn't want to take up arms with him, or for evelyn, but it's his call. and not something dean plans on holding against him. getting mixed up with cannibal murderers and their sidekicks isn't good for anyone. ]

Alright. Try not to go off and disappear again, dude.

[ end feed. ]
