sort-of voice-test for a sort-of oc.

[scryinghope]

Please don't.

Yes, I know that won't stop you. I don't even need to be in your head to know that. I also happen to know that a little bit of pleading will at least make you feel guilty while you put me through all the things you're planning.

You see? It worked. At least now I can suffer with the petty vindictiveness of knowing that a fictional character made you feel bad. I'm like that on occasion.

Comments

[skeletonenigma]

Then they'll call them idiots.

[scryinghope]

I'm sensing a rather one-sided euphemism here.

[skeletonenigma]

I'm still annoyed with you two. I reserve puns for people in my good books.

[scryinghope]

But they're not your books. They're Valkyrie's. They're not even from your perspective.

[skeletonenigma]

Were you harbouring vague hopes of ever finding yourself in my good books ever again?

[scryinghope]

I'm dead. Doesn't that automatically put me in your good books, for old time's sake?

[skeletonenigma]

You have a very optimistic view of my good books.

[scryinghope]

I prefer the optimistic view. It's a brighter feeling.

[skeletonenigma]

It's also the unrealistic and wrong view of my good books. I'm dead, and I'm not in them. Why should you get special treatment?

[scryinghope]

My animal magnetism.

[skeletonenigma]

[Descry is getting such. A look.]

[That's it. Just a look.]

[scryinghope]

[Descry just smiles back, that small fierce smile of deep amusement, and waits for Skulduggery to break first.]

[skeletonenigma]

You're right. I can see the animal magnetism.

[scryinghope]

It shouldn't be surprising to you. You did say that you were alluring to hopeless cases.

[skeletonenigma]

You're right. I did. Tell me, what do you find so alluring?

[scryinghope]

[Descry looks at him with that particular glint in his eye and a grin.]

Animal. Magnetism.

[skeletonenigma]

So many things to choose from, and you can't even be creative? For shame, Descry.

[scryinghope]

You keep giving me straight lines. How can I do anything else but follow you down the garden path?

[skeletonenigma]

It must be the animal magnetism. We attract each other.

Maybe if it becomes strong enough, I can repel your mun away from you forever.

[scryinghope]

Would that make you my knight in shining armour?

[skeletonenigma]

Probably not. You'd be dead.

[scryinghope]

Well, I already am dead. It's a match made in Heaven.

[skeletonenigma]

Gabe might have a few words for you there.

[scryinghope]

Far be it for me to wrest a soul from an Archangel.

[skeletonenigma]

And yet.
