[Warden Filter, David + Costigan & Inmates who are known causalities.]

Earlier this morning, David Harris went on a rampage, while affected by Death Knight abilities apparently granted by Arthas Menethil. His specific goal was to attack his warden, Jason Bourne, but while affected attacked and injured several others.

His known victims are:
- Slade Wilson - Alive (?), frozen solid.
- Dallas Winston - Killed, assaulted.
- Rex Lewis - Alive, assaulted,
- Zuko - Alive (?), frozen solid.
- Vanessa VanCleef - Alive, assaulted.
- Claire Bennet - Alive, assaulted, was incapacitated by ice.
- Jason Bourne - Alive, assaulted.

Tim Drake and I intervened when we heard a disturbance in the dining hall. David had his warden, Jason Bourne, pinned up against a wall by the throat, and didn't recognize us initially. After talking him down, he gave up the powers himself, without being forced to, and stopped his attack. Tim's taken David down to Zero.

Does anyone actually have status reports on the people he attacked, or more information about people who might have been injured? People who were hurt, a sound off would definitely be appreciated, if you're up to it. If not, I need some help trying to figure out where they are and how much immediate medical attention they'll need.

[Same Filter, but minus David.]

[There's a short pause. When Dick speaks again, it's definitely not in the voice of the usually good natured, friendly twenty something guy he usually presents himself as. It's harder, more intimidating and has serious overtones of Batman in it.]

I just want to make it explicitly clear that anyone who attempts revenge for what happened is going to have me and Tim to deal with. We've had issues in the past with people taking revenge after incidents like this - [The largest one he's got in mind, of course, is Perry's revenge killing of Rex.] - And nothing good's come of it. Don't be stupid.

David was pushed into this. He was desperately lashing out in response to someone he thought was a threat to his safety because of tactics his warden had used against him during his first escape attempt. I'm not saying David is blameless or we need or should to condone what he did or encourage him to do it again. But hurting him further now will do nothing but make things worse. What he needs right now is for people to support him. He needs positive influences, people who won't respond to violence with more senseless violence, and people who actually care about him, instead of viewing this as just a job, or thinking he's not redeemable based on what he's done here.

He will not go unpunished, and I seriously hope that Arthas will face consequences as well, but let that be handled by the appropriate people.

[Private to Bourne]

I'm including you in this. We both know the last time David hurt you, your judgment was clouded and you caused him serious psychological trauma. If you're feeling similarly emotionally compromised? Find someone else to do it. Not you, not Claire. Some other warden.

[And full on Batgrowl. Low, intimidating, controlled, the kind of voice that makes people crap their pants, regardless of their training or background.] And if I hear one word about you doing anything to hurt him further? David flipping out again is going to be the least of your problems.

Is the kid okay?

[Warden-Filter]

[batmanschmatman]

David? He's pretty banged up, and he was pretty weak when Tim took him down to Zero, but physically, he'll recover.

no-David filter; text

[requiresssacrifice]

he and arthas better be punished.

HE BROKE MY FUCKING JAW11 [And his wrist. Thus, no shift key]

no-David filter; voice because someone is a talker :c

[batmanschmatman]

They will be. Don't worry about it.

How are you doing?

main filter, voice

[lifeafterhope.livejournal.com]

I'm no victim.

[batmanschmatman]

You're alright? [Only priority, sorry Vanessa nocurr about your definition of victim. :|]

[Filtered] Timed to after he's taken care of Dallas and spoken with Rex

[championoftime]

Dallas is death tolling and is alive again.

Rex is... as well as can be expected.

[Filtered]

[batmanschmatman]

Thanks.

[Private]

How are you?

Omgg so late. [Video]

[crispycake.livejournal.com]

[All he can do is stare. He feels sick...more than sick. He can't really describe it...he's never had a friend die before...He's not sure how death even works on the barge...Dally was dead already, right? And he wasn't gonna be gone for good...right?]

What happens...

[Gulp.]

What happens when someone...d-dies...?

NOT LATE I just posted :P [Video]

[batmanschmatman]

[Explaining this always sucks, because Dick's one of those people who doesn't think them coming back makes death any more okay or easier to cope with.]

They come back. Don't worry. Basically, you feel the affects of whatever happened for a few days, and you're tired and a little nauseous for a while, and eventually, you just feel better. [He's never died, so he doesn't know first hand, but he's been around long enough to know more or less firsthand how badly this sucked.]

The Doctor said he's alive again, and I'm guessing he's either in the infirmary, or with him in one of their rooms. I'm sure you can go see him, if you want to. He'll be pretty uncomfortable for a few days, but he'll be okay.

Wardens:

Somebody already take a crowbar to Arthas' face over this or not?

Wardens:

[batmanschmatman]

Not to my knowledge.

[iam-aghost.livejournal.com]

Those people who are... [pause] frozen solid. Are they likely to be unfrozen or is that something we should look into ways of bringing about?

above filter

[batmanschmatman]

I don't know about Zuko, but I'm about to go looking for Slade. We'll probably need to at least be prepared to treat them for hypothermia or potential frostbite, but I'm not sure how long they've been stuck like that, how frozen they were or if they've been able to breathe.

Zuko is alive.

Is he okay?

[most_feared]

How the fuck did the kid get that far? Shouldn't his warden have received an alert on his item when he became a death knight?

And wherever there was water or David's blood, there needs to be disinfectant. Death knights spread plague. If you give me the locations where people were frozen I can hit those.

Re: [Filtered]

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

I thought you only got an alert if their life was under threat. Does... this constitute a threat on his life?

[Public]

[David's posting this from his cell in Zero. He looks haggard and his voice is uneven.]

Arthas didn't offer to give me those powers. I sought him out and coerced him into giving them to me. I'm the only one responsible for this.

[He's flat-out lying about the coercion bit, but now that it's come to this, he wants to make sure no one else takes the fall for it but him.]

[Public]

[batmanschmatman]

Understood.

Is Tim still with you?

main filter; /derp assume all his replies are after he's.....recovered

[terminates.livejournal.com]

I thawed.

[The dryness in this tone is like summer in the Sahara.]

main filter;

[batmanschmatman]

I'm glad.

[Dick is more. amused by this tone. Than anything else. ALSO YOU ARE REPLYING TO SOMETHING HE POSTED, WHAT IS THIS. :|a]

[So public it's ridiculous]

[failed-bluff.livejournal.com]

[Someone is angry. Angry and fatigued, clearly fighting the death toll as best he can after being revived by his warden.]

Someone tell 'im I'm gonna break his neck next time I see catch him within three floors of me. Ain't gonna be pretty.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Well, don't say I didn't warn you about the consequences.

[Filter.]

[toldastory]

Bloody hell.

[Private]
You okay, Dick?

[Private.]

[batmanschmatman]

Physically? Yeah, Tim and I are fine.

I'm still having a hard time processing that this happened, but otherwise, I think I'm okay.

Jon is forever written :|

[snownotstark.livejournal.com]

He attacked with ice?

SOMEDAY YOU WILL LEARN TO USE THIS WITCHCRAFT

Most of the people involved were.

[strangehistorian]

This is exactly what I was afraid of. I- I don't think threatening the victims is necessary, sir. They've been through enough.

Anyone who has been injured needs to be disinfected as well as the infirmary can manage. If they start to show signs of abnormal disorientation they should be ... well, Death Tolled. The Plague is a very serious matter.

[She clears her throat.]

On the bright side, I don't believe this is David's fault entirely. Although-

[Filtered from Bourne.]

Someone should be assigned to keep an eye on him in case his warden chooses to retaliate against him nonetheless. I understand it's not my business how one deals with one's own inmate, but we are attempting to run a facility based on mercy.

Filter

[batmanschmatman]

I'm not threatening them. But the last time we had something like this happen? The person responsible was murdered and it was publicly broadcast to the network. That is not happening again. The one responsible's been through enough too. Hurting him now is just going to perpetuate the cycle.

[Filtered away from Bourne.]

Tim's keeping an eye on him. He can handle Bourne if he decides to try anything.

Private-

[lostundercover]

I don't know if I can do this guy. Support him? He's been nothing but a selfish fucking asshole.

Private-

[batmanschmatman]

He has. I'm definitely not going to blame you if you don't want to take an active role in it.

What happened?
