Hm, well... I could use some help decorating for the Halloween party! I'm just so awfully busy with, um... everything else! I can't really seem to find any time for it...

[cocks head]

Would you feel better if I did?
palfriday: (that's ahead of me)

... I guess it makes sense in a... metaphysical way...?

[Well, April knows for a fact that not everything in this world is meant to be understood, and this might just be one of those things they had to be there for.

So they nod like they get it, and go]
Oh, sure, yeah.

...

Well, I better quit distracting you from your work, heh. Have a good one, Friday!

[patiently waits a moment to be noticed, curious bit of 👀ing]

Hey, what are you working on?
light_mischief: (49. loud and clear)

[Friday] Early/mid October time is nonsense

[personal profile] light_mischief 2022-10-14 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[someone's not having a good day, or days, or... week, look. he's in a fugue state and has no care about the passage of time.

but at some point, Skulduggery is going to hunt Friday down at her desk. no time for fun preamble, he just cuts flat to the chase.]


There are some specific sundries gifts that I'd like to stop receiving. Is that a request you could honor for me?
palfriday: (I look to the sea)

[personal profile] palfriday 2022-10-14 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
[visibly startles, then just. chuckles nervously.]

Oh, you know... Keeping everything together! Somehow! [ahaha.... ha....] Is there something I can help you with?

[please say no]

[a small, guilty frown because she doesn't want to add to the burden but this is somebody's soul at stake so] Yeah. It's been... hm. Do you need... any help with that? [not that she's sure what she can do but willing to try]

And [awkward pause] I was just wondering if there. Were. Extra bodies. Somewhere. Cold storage? Spare parts? If I could... borrow one. For a friend.

... Why? [doesn't. everyone like free stuff???]
palfriday: (to carry on)

[personal profile] palfriday 2022-10-14 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
[a long pause]

... Not any... fresh ones...
light_mischief: (07. not always)

[personal profile] light_mischief 2022-10-14 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[that's what u2 thought and look how that worked out for them!]

Why, why? They're dangerous items that should be disposed of rather than kept.
decohere: (it's a cruel cruel world)

[personal profile] decohere 2022-10-14 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Any would be preferable to... nothing. How do you make them fresh when you put us back together?
palfriday: (set an open course)

[personal profile] palfriday 2022-10-14 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that's really the Captain's job... I wouldn't know...
palfriday: (and I'll try)

[personal profile] palfriday 2022-10-14 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, it's probably not that bad! Just put it under your bed, or something!
decohere: (now i'm taking you out)

[personal profile] decohere 2022-10-14 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. I thought you handled things in the morgue.

... Can I at least. Try putting something together? [smiles!] It is Halloween, after all. [all of October is Halloween don't @ her she's even wearing a bat costume.]

Or I could go collecting pieces myself. But I'd rather save you the mess.
palfriday: (I look to the sea)

[...]

Well, I do want to encourage our passengers to explore creative pursuits, but... building a new body for a boyfriend from random parts is actually a really bad idea! Things can go... very wrong, very quickly!

[and maybe she's seen this before or something shut up don't ask questions]
light_mischief: (33. gentlemanly)

[personal profile] light_mischief 2022-10-14 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[point blank:]

It's evil necromancer armor that will possess me and cause me to cause unspeakable harm to not only the ship but the other passengers. So. No, hiding it under the bed doesn't work in this particular case.

[personal profile] decohere 2022-10-14 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Ew, Pickles isn't my boyfriend.

And fine, I'll be careful if you tell me what to avoid. You know how I feel about safe lab practices.
palfriday: (for the virgin sea)

[personal profile] palfriday 2022-10-14 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
... I don't... think there's actually a safe way to do... necromancy...
palfriday: (on every shore)

[personal profile] palfriday 2022-10-14 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
... Ah.

[beat]

Well, I can take care of it for you! It'll be safe with me!
decohere: (that i'm sorry)

[personal profile] decohere 2022-10-14 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
It's not necromancy. It's science. Mary Shelley said so.

Anyway, unless you have an alternative...
light_mischief: (17. waiting around)

[personal profile] light_mischief 2022-10-14 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
[yeah he's definitely getting the mental image of Friday touching the armor and getting chewed up like a mouthful of soil...]

Just... throw out whatever you find of it from now on. I've got the other pieces managed for now.

[by throwing them overboard b/c that... works, right?]
palfriday: (oh lord I'll try)

[personal profile] palfriday 2022-10-14 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
... It's... magic. There's spells, and...

[actually you know what that doesn't matter.]

I'm not even really sure what you're planning on doing...
palfriday: ('cause I've got to be free)

[personal profile] palfriday 2022-10-14 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
... You don't really sound like you have them managed...

[like. just saying.]
