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!]

[Unfortunately, it's a fact of life Erskine knows all too well. That doesn't preclude him from trying to lighten the mood anyway, most of the time... but maybe he's just rusty. A lot's happened since he was his old charming self.]

Right. You're right. Forgive me.

[He starts to back away from the console, then pauses.]

If you need anything let me know, alright?

[Ironic how Erskine's apology is so similar to Solomon's. He gets it, and that's what matters. She turns back to face him before he can leave.]

Thanks. I'll... yeah. I will.
