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.

She calls the Sanctuary archives the fabled Mystical Hall of Magical Cabinets. I believe I'm entirely justified.

[scryinghope]

Speaking as a former scribe, I would call that an adequate justification, yes.

[skeletonenigma]

Oh good. I can count on your help, then.

[scryinghope]

I'll even steal all the quills.

[skeletonenigma]

From the Sanctuary archives? I think it's my duty to arrest you for that.

[scryinghope]

What means more to you: the opportunity to teach your wayward student respect for the annals of history or arresting a dead man for borrowing some quills on behalf of an angel in sore need of them?

[skeletonenigma]

Considering that the reason the angel's in sore need of them was encouraged by you, and in fact probably given the idea by you, and you're hoping that two wrongs will eventually make a right? I'm sorry, Descry, but I think I might just have to accomplish both.

[scryinghope]

Just one question. How do you plan to slap handcuffs on a ghost?

[skeletonenigma]

Gabe.

I'm sure he still has them somewhere.

[scryinghope]

I'm fairly sure you just made Rover choke on his peanuts. Congratulations.

[skeletonenigma]

Good. This way, he isn't throwing them at my face.

[scryinghope]

Now he's throwing them at Gabe's face. Did you feel that, by any chance?

[skeletonenigma]

You know, I think I did. Dare I ask why he's throwing them at Gabe's face?

[scryinghope]

Well, he can't exactly reach your face, can he?

[skeletonenigma]

So he's punishing someone who didn't do anything? Charming, Larrikin.

[scryinghope]

He says Gabe's guilty by association.

[skeletonenigma]

Does that make all of you guilty of being Lord Vile?

[scryinghope]

Why not? It worked for Rue.

[skeletonenigma]

Throw a couple of peanuts at Larrikin for me then, please.

[scryinghope]

And get a thousand back? Throw them yourself.

[skeletonenigma]

I would if I could. You're not very helpful.

[scryinghope]

I'm a mind-reader. I don't have to be helpful.

[skeletonenigma]

You can't read my mind. It's in your best interests to help me.

[scryinghope]

What's in it for me?

[skeletonenigma]

Watching Larrikin getting pegged by peanuts.
