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

Ah. That would be cause for controversy, wouldn't it?
[Skulduggery remembers all too clearly what happened the last time Malicant's influence spread through the city. That Milyn developed Dust and helped develop Lucid... it's worrying, to say the least.]
Her intentions may have started out that way, but the kedan have been free of Eshai's spell for years now. Why was she still working with Daseng so recently?
[Suspicious skeleton is suspicious.]
no subject
Quite.
[Raine shakes her head; how troubled she is shows evidently in her face.]
I wasn't able to obtain a satisfactory answer. And now...
[She trails off, and looks away.]
She didn't seem to see anything wrong with it, what she'd done. But it's also true that she helped us, and without her we wouldn't have been able to defeat Malicant.
