== [[Fridge Horror]] ==
* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion|The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion]]'', when you first join the [[Murder, Inc.|Dark Brotherhood]], you can talk to your new "family members" to get tips for your first contract. One of them, a large, friendly Orc named Gogron, will happily recount the time he "had a contract to kill a little Nord girl at her birthday party." He ends the story with a wistful chuckle and a comment that "she won't be seeing age six." Now, that's pretty horrifying on its own. The Fridge Horror kicks in when you realize he said he had a contract to kill her. Meaning someone had to deliberately arrange for the murder of a five year old girl.
** Even more horrifying. The person who arranged the contract was probably the relative of a child that girl didn't invite over to the party. (Like the child came home crying because she wasn't invited to the party, relative (who probably wasn't all that sane to begin with) got pissed and arranged to have that girl killed as payback.)
*** A step further: to put a contract on somebody, you have to assemble a complete human skeleton and perform a dark ritual. Generally, this is achieved by robbing graves.
