[open] all of this before i got there
Who: Skulduggery versus the world
What: dealing with, uh, you know, December
When: jan 5th thru the end of the month (i guess???)
Where: his usual haunts
Warnings: discussion of massacres, war crimes, uhh, idk, violence maybe? whatever we'll figure it out
Notes: i'm mostly sticking to [brackets] but y'all do what you want.
AS OF DECEMBER 29TH, THE BLACK BINDER IS NO LONGER IN THE LIBRARY.
[for three days, the skeleton detective is entirely absent from the Serena Eterna. nobody receives any communication from him, nor does he return to his room.
and then, on the 29th, the black binder disappears from the library. a few people receive brief messages. there's the smell of burning paper from the casino at new year's.
another week passes, and then Skulduggery Pleasant can be found on the Eterna once more. it's almost as if he never left at all -- except for the fact that he only seems to be seen at night, and only ever hangs out in two public places.]
[library] now illegible forever, an oracle with no tongue
[the library is haunted by a skeleton between the hours of 3 and 6 in the morning, although he doesn't sit around to read anymore; instead, he spends maybe thirty minutes or so selecting a few books to take with him to wherever it is he's spending his time. his room? other people's rooms? the bridge? wouldn't you like to know, weatherboy?
anyone trying to sneak up on Skulduggery as he stands in the middle of an aisle will find themselves abruptly stopped about five feet away by a wall of air. hope you weren't trying to sneak up behind him!]
[chatterbox] faces turned toward the sky that they would never see again
[Skulduggery can be found singing karaoke at a decidedly more muted level late at night, between 1 and 3 AM. the songs he picks are ones he's personally familiar with: the rat pack, mid-eighties hits, twangy folk music -- he seems many, many miles away as he sings a few songs before retiring the karaoke machine for the night.
anyone trying to enter the Chatterbox will find an invisible wall a few feet past the doors, one that extends from one wall to the other. he can feel it when the doors open, the air pushing against the wall, but unless he's certain he's dealing with close friends, he doesn't lower the wall.]
[wildcard] victims of the fallout, i have failed you sweet young men
[Skulduggery can't be easily found outside of the previous locations, but he can be caught in various hallways and decks. it's safe to assume that he's manipulating the air to act as a bit of a shield whenever he's moving from one location to another.
(if you'd like to plan something specific, just hit me up via plurk or discord. (make sure to ping me on discord!))]

another one for Chatterbox cuz jeff doesn't read
But tonight, he's heading towards Chatterbox, and as he approaches, he picks up his pace, getting excited, already going through his mental discography for what he might be in the mood for, and then he runs straight into an invisible wall.
"Shit-- fuck-- duuuuude," he whines. "Uncool."
He doesn't even realize who's responsible for the wall. It's just a dick move to deprive others the opportunity to karaoke!
THIS SIGN CAN'T STOP HIM, HE CAN'T READ!
"Ah, shit. Sorry."
It's technically a teen-avoidance field, and Jeff... well, he hasn't given Skulduggery a reason to assume he's out for blood, so...
He pulls that field back a bit.
"Alright, there?"
no subject
"I'm good-- it's cool." Even though he did declare it uncool just, like, mere seconds ago. Jeff comes a little closer, offering a wave and a smile. "Kate Bush! Good pick."
no subject
"I have a great deal of fondness for her work in the mid to late eighties. Lots of paperwork got done listening to Hounds of Love. She makes for a great duet partner." Since his voice is so low and hers is so high!
no subject
(Wait, not 'usually.' Always. There was always a lot less bloodshed!)
Anyway, he's got his own feelings all wrapped up in the issue. But more importantly: Jeff squints and tilts his head, looking like he's thinking deeply on something.
"I'm trying to picture you doing paperwork. Like in an office?"
Is Skulduggery a white collar skeleton? The skeleton of an accountant?? WHAT'S HIS DEAL--
no subject
He did that by just... not filling out the forms that he deemed irrelevant. Eventually, they just gave up. And that's how it works for a loose cannon who doesn't play by the rules!
