Like a hole in the head
[Private to Riddick]
I want to try something.
[He sounds a bit - strained.]
[Public, video]
[It's never comfortable, being stuck full of spikes. But it is even more uncomfortable to be full of spikes and simultaneous feel full of holes. He plucks one of his own eye spikes out just to ease the discrepancy, his hands clenching around the heavy length of steel.
Marsh can't see anything on the screens, but he turns it to video anyway, dark red blood trickling down his cheek from the dark black hole of his empty socket. Whatever keeps the wounds neat and bloodless in the normal course of events is void with the spike removed. He gestures toward the camera with the sharp tapered end of it. Despite the grotesquerie, his posture isn't threatening - it's a little bit schoolmarm-ish, a fussy librarian with a razor pointer. His jaw is clenched taut.]
Whoever is pulling pins out of their doll. Should stop.
It is disconcerting.

Magic.
[Helpful and informative.]

I see. What kind of magic? Is it focused on you or the last spike?
no subject
I appreciate your curiosity -
[And he actually does, because he was such a nerd, once wanted to know everything he possibly could about the Steel Ministry in order to bring it down.]
- but I will not give more details about how it works. There are no more practitioners, and that is for the best.
