DEPARTURE

It's time to go. Most people are on the train by now. Settled into their cabins and among friends and loved ones. There are only three new arrivals left to board and once they do, Hal pulls a conductor's hat out from underneath the bar, tugs it on, and steps around it to the middle of the train. He opens his mouth to talk, voice filling the train. "It's time to go. Stops happen once a day until everyone's departed and I already have your stopped listed. If you'd like to be prioritized, let me know, otherwise we'll go in order of death. Settle in and enjoy the ride. If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to ask, folks." This, of course, means that those who died earliest (Manfred, Higekiri) will depart first while those who died latest (Barnham, Damian, Percy) will depart last. There's a stop for everyone, though those who want to get off together are more than welcome to. Hal pulls a notepad and pen out of his pocket later and people will notice that he goes around the train confirming stops with everyone. Whatever feeling Hal may have had to a character back in town isn't noticeable here -- he is simply a robot assigned with a job. After that, it's all a matter of settling in and enjoying the ride. If that's possible for you, at least.

[Naturally, Damian still seems rather ruffled about the whole idea. On one hand: murder... on the other: ending the game?? God.] Why?

I wasn't going to kill you, though I should have done it from the start to keep anyone else from being chosen to kill or be killed. [Still wouldn't have done it. RIP Damian Wayne, the son of Batman.] The others--ask them yourself. Some of them would have gladly slit your throat despite becoming no better than you.

[ He nods in understanding, since he's not surprised in the slightest that some of them would have killed him. Though Natalie wasn't a Bounty herself, she was close enough to all of them that Hannibal personally lumped them all together. So they had killed him. It had just been a waste of time. ]

It makes slightly more sense for the rest of them. But really, my curiosity lay more with you. If you took my life, you could have ended everything. Granted, you did not find me until it was too late to really matter, but if you had found out who I was earlier...

[ He smiles slightly ]

I would have killed you without hesitation, had you come to attack me. The fact that the sentiment isn't completely returned considering the weight that was held in both of our lives is what I found surprising.
