Do you know what he wanted to happen? Was it meant to affect us at all, or was this a... personal project?

Murder, really. Already. [said with no surprise at all] Is the buffet there to fatten us up for-
[no ava, don't get distracted by cannibalism]
Ugh. So is he at least attempting to clean up this mess? Or does his entertainment override his embarrassment.

[The old Skulduggery would definitely want to know more about the murders. The new Skulduggery is more-or-less "that tracks" about it.]
That sounds about right. [ugh he doesn't want to keep looking at her but also... the possible questions...] If you're affected, I assume that means the captain is also affected. Is he also cursed with honesty? ...Can he only be cursed by water as well?
[or is that poor bastard stuck like this for the duration???]

And what kind of talk are you imagining, exactly? [flatly] "You'll get them next time, tiger?"
I thought we wanted him to fail at magic.

Potatoes potatoes. [pronounced exactly the same]
Is that what we want? [she certainly wouldn't want the barriers to fail!] I don't know. Tell him that mistakes are learning opportunities. And that if you pretend you did something on purpose that nobody will know better. Unless you're stuck telling the truth. So maybe fix that.

Do you really think it matters if I'm nice to him or not? He isn't going to listen to me either way. [he already made that clear with the whole "blah blah blah magicians are better than sorcerers" shtick...]
[wait why is HE getting ganged up on here???]
Okay. Fine. Obviously, I was already going to go bother him already, so you're right, it doesn't matter what either of you say. [wow yeah real mature.
you know what, though? fine.]
One last thing from me, then. Friday... is there anything you can think of that I should ask him? Maybe something you would ask, if you could?
[Obviously this isn't because he feels bad for being a dick to her, this is just. You know. Using a dude's screwdriver against him.]

Well, there's nothing I'd really want to ask him, because there's nothing I'd really want to know! If I could tell him anything, I'd tell him to give up, but it wouldn't be very nice, so I wouldn't say it!
[and well that seems like the end of that conversation, back to work. namely playing the sacrifice man to ghosts game underneath her desk.]

[either? ... EXCUSE YOU
no, she's not dignifying that with a response, just makes a shooing go away motion at Skulduggery so he can go be where he clearly rather be, while she's going to just hang out and gossip with her buddy h-
oh.
Friday seems rather preoccupied too.
just... will stand here awkwardly for a moment.]

[Because he's got to make doubly sure he isn't affected by the stupid curse. secretly hyper-aware of all that moisture out there, man...
But he does arrive outside the bridge door, with a gift! Or, you know, a loaner he's returning. That's right, baby, heglossed over finally devoured your book about alchemizing God's love and he's here to return it like a proper gentleman.
He is also here to monopolize your honesty, but that's beside the point.
Same position as last time, just less angry about it!]

[the figure that appears next to the door, leaning slightly against it, is more shadow than man at the moment, patches of shifting black that aren't exactly the mind-breakers you'd find internally, but still give the feeling of being A Bit Wrong. illusions are effort; he's able to put forward about half of one.]
You remembered. You didn't knock.
You remembered. You didn't knock.
I... did remember. [To his credit, he's only momentarily startled by the presentation, and it only shows in that brief pause.
Well... damn if that doesn't paint a picture. It could be an intimidation tactic; something to prevent people from sticking around to ask him questions while he's vulnerable. (Then again, he could just refuse to appear...) It could just as well be a lack of effort, either from overexerting his powers or simply just not finding it necessary to bother with the facade. He does have a minor resistance to beings who are A Bit Wrong now, after all.]
Meanwhile, you've forgotten your skin. Must have been a rough week indeed.

Just tired. More energy expended than gathered. [half a grin, all teeth.] I wouldn't get too smug about it. Just means I'll need more later.
Oh, heavens no. Not too smug. [Just a little. What happened to ~~"I'm a great magician and sorcerers are lame,"~~ hmm?]
Just what were you trying to do? [because this ain't it, chief]
