CONSOLE [video/action] Guess who's back, back, back from the - wait.

[skeletonenigma]

[Skulduggery's at the Hotel console, looking exactly the same as he did when he went missing a month ago. He's impeccably dressed in a suit, hat, scarf, and coat - and also happens to be a living skeleton, for those new to the turtle. 'Back from the dead' has new and interesting connotations where he's concerned.

It's April 1st. It's a little past dinnertime. Skulduggery takes a moment or two, once the video turns on, before he speaks. He sounds the same as ever, too - Irish, his voice as smooth as velvet.]

I promise, I don't do this on purpose.

[That's directed at... a lot of people, actually. Pepper. Solomon. Cain. Raine. Anton. Erskine. Honestly, anyone who's not so much relieved at his return than annoyed.]

It looks like I missed quite a bit. Someone died, someone didn't die, everyone's blaming everyone else, and now we have a person or persons unknown trying to assassinate every prominent kedan in the city. On top of that, I heard something about an earthquake and power outages. Does anyone know more than the barest details about any of this? And if they do, would they be willing to share it?

[He reaches out to end the feed, then pauses.]

Oh, and why is all the furniture on the ceiling?

[OOC: Feel free to approach Skulduggery in person at the console if you're in the Hotel!]

[Not close enough to get caught in it, anyway. That implied at least one person from Keeliai, kedan or Foreigner, was close enough to help out prominently in the aftermath. Good.

Skulduggery tilts his head.] Do you have magic where you're from?

[Apart from the initial staring, this boy's been handling Skulduggery's appearance well. Experience, forewarning, or exceptional imagination?]

[Adrien is getting used to this question, since appearing on Keeliai, so he gives a little shrug in response. ]

We do. It's not something everybody uses, but we have superheroes who have it. And there's something magic that makes ordinary people turn into villains. I don't know a whole lot about it, but it happens enough that you get used to it.
