WHEN: Now (Solace)
WHERE: Research Division workshops
NOTES: nah

This wasn't his idea. This was the kid and Miss Poppell. At most 20% Poppell, and 80% Jenny Lou.

But who is Skull to protest? All he can do is whine or sulk or play along while he gets carried hither and yon to be subjected to measurements and have notes taken about him.

His conversation with Jenny Lou is the announcement of their arrival, the volume increasing the closer they get to the lower Research division workshops.

"WELL HOW ABOUT IMMEASURABLE THEN?"

"I thought Byerly was Diplomacy Boss," Jenny Lou says, frowning, "And hey, maybe you can like work up to throwing your voice, yeah? Like being stuck in a deep dark well is kinda like that."

"See, yes, this is precisely what I mean," she says, in perfect agreement with Jenny Lou and Ellis both. Which is to say— "Clearly the jar is ppwerfully warded. Any experimentation we might do with respect to what lies inside it would necessitate breaking the seal and taking you out of it."

They're all definitely on the same page.

"He's not meant to be out of the jar, is he?"

Directed initially to Wysteria, before looking down at Skull.

"Do you know if you can exist outside of your jar?"

A more delicate way of asking if he'll kick it if these two crazy kids manage to break the seal.

"HAVEN'T THE FOGGIEST, ACTUALLY." In all his years of being a pickled skull in a jar, it's never come to pass and thus never warranted thinking about.

"MAYBE I'D BECOME SOMETHING LIKE BARTIMAEUS, OR THIS ONE HERE," a nod towards Jenny Lou. Some kind of Djinn or shapeshifter, of course, not a Rifter. "WHO CAN SAY. BUT GOOD LUCK!"

It'd be positively novel to see them break the jar, or somehow wriggle him out of a bottleneck that's narrower than his eye socket.

"Being a shapeshifter is cool," she says with a great deal of authority, "Buuuuuuut we maybe shouldn't do a thing that'll kill you. Or re-kill you."
