THE SKULL IS IN

[skulltasm]

WHO: Eshal, Haku, Laura, and anyone else!
WHAT: Catch-all threading
WHEN: During this heat wave, of course! But not during Monster Madness.
WHERE: Everywhere!
NOTES: Bad advice.

I. ESHAL

It is an ongoing mystery how Skull ends up where he does. He is frequently decorating some surface in the Seneschal's office, in the library, in the dining hall, or propping open doors, or being a perch for some damned raven, or being used to crack open hard-shelled nuts.

It's all very demeaning. Particularly when it forces you to depend on the kindness of morons.

"YOO-HOO, OVER HERE!"

II. HAKU

This time, he's in the storeroom, right next to a jar of pickles. Leering would work so much better if he weren't on such a low shelf.

"YOU'RE A LONG WAY FROM HOME."

He says it to a set of ankles. It's a safe enough assumption even for one who isn't fairly sure those ankles came from a different world.

III. LAURA

And then there's this one, with knives for bones and all the trappings of a feral child.

"AN ODD DUCK, THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE."

IV. OTA - WILDCARD

[[ Feel free to godmod where Skull ends up. He's bound to turn up literally anywhere. ]]

"I CAN, BUT THEY DON'T CARRY WELL FOR SOME REASON."
Perhaps it has something to do with the jar, or maybe Skull is just shite at throwing its voice when emulating a non-vocal sound.

"So we'll get a cone to put in front of you. Still useful." She makes her way up the steps of the rookery. "Pick your favorite perch."

[skulltasm]

"OH, THAT ONE, IT'S TUCKED AWAY ENOUGH SO IT WON'T BE OBVIOUSLY ME WHEN THE RAVENS SPEAK."

Skull is actually looking forward to this strange woman's plans. Did he just make a friend?

[saam]

He certainly made a partnership. Eshal places him carefully on the perch in question, frowns, and grabs some spare cloth. It's not to make the skull in a jar more comfortable; she's not that stupid (hopefully). It's to wedge the thing better in place, so it's less likely to fall.

"I'll come get you... in the morning? How about that."

"SURE, IF I'M STILL HERE."
