[Oh......oh that is very disconnected. Utterly bizarre. Jade's not actually sure he's ever seen anything quite this unsettling in his life before, which is saying something! But, going by the absolutely contrasting body language...it seems, that Skulduggery's--alright?? Still has the items, still...coherent enough to sort of respond, at least.
Alright, okay, he can. Work with this. Jade can only begin to imagine how utterly horrible this must be for Skulduggery about now, if he's still as lucid as he seems to indicate. Even he can't quite smooth the concern that continues pinching his own features, but at least it's only a second or two's staring delay before Jade's nodding shortly, brows furrowing.]
Then--that's good. I don't know what's going on...it's as if we're being struck by randomized ailments. We should-- [A glance back, in Darcy abd Izzy's direction, before Jade's reluctantly slowing his own pace slightly and motioning for Skulduggery to do the same.] Darcy has been struck as well--she's having a hard time moving! Izzy is trying to help her, but they may be catching up--I don't know where Maximilien and Ava are now. I think I still heard Jenny nearby...
[Or at least, the laughter was audible for a moment or two, before Skulduggery's nonstop screaming started......
Is Jade also trying to cope with this utterly unnerving turn of events by leaning full swing into military habit and firing off into a rapid soldier's sort of report about now, too? Maybe! Don't worry about it! He's not...sure what else to do, here, until Izzy and Darcy can catch up...!!!]
