i'm just saying since his greatest desire is to die it's actually better to pick him over anyone else who might throw themselves in harm's way for stupid reasons

(darcy and clarke im looking at you two)

skulduggery's car is there and he's likely going to be there with it ALL THE TIME until dusk. it's entirely likely he'll go back to the ship once all weekend

filledwithstraw max and skulduggery are going to probably go together aren't they so they can scream in twin delight
definitely going to do a separate racing thread from my top-level b/c that's bound to be Chaotic

oh yes. make the most embarrassing sounds

which they will NEVER REMARK ON

Ed wants to ride in a fast car...

starting from zero got nothing to lose?

ed should come riding with skulduggery!!! regardless of whether or not we thread stuff out we can always say that the letter-reading happened and they bonded over "stupid stede what the fuck are you doing!!!"

I need to get to a point with Ed's ...uh... thread with Stede... where I know what he knows about the parlay, and then how he gets left with the letter, and then he'll come to Skuls, if there is still time and desire with you to do so. I know I'm kind of pushing it on the timeliness of all this.

bud i am so good with doing old threads, do not fret! the only thing that might happen is some timey-wimey bullshit where skulduggery seems not to know something he should know, but that happens ALL THE TIME so i am NOT concerned in the slightest

and when we tag i promise it will be actionspam and not tldr prose

thumbs up! Thank you for the patience =D I really want to do Skuls stuff

And yeah timeywimey happens all the time

yeah it's part and parcel of rp! i'm fine with it lol. im also fine with like, assumed interactions, so if you like the idea that skulduggery and ed have like, a casual "hey i see you hanging out" relationship we can just give that to them lmfao

can Sharky just fucking cold clock Pratt and knock him out if the jukebox does things?

just walk around with him over his shoulder? real casual?

oh ABSOLUTELY if he hears that fucking DUH-NUH-NUH-NUH-NAH shit he's flinging himself at pratt

takin one of those metal napkin dispensers to his temple

Pratt will appreciate

later. after the bleeding stops

skuls.......

he should be looking at natsuno too

I also volunteer for team tackle Pratt if sharky needs a hand

feeling called out on this self sacrificial bullshit too, rude.

tag team him pls

omg. they should stuff people in the trunks

which might be you Ava if you try and bring a milkshake in.

be a rebel! bring the milkshake!

aww Ava, you can bring a milkshake onto the Queen Anne's Revenge...if it ever shows up

inb4circlejerk: tbh sharky and clarke should like. debrief about pratt. he could probably fill in some gaps and also maybe?? they could brainstorm ways for pratt to not be so crazy??? which is sharkys #1 brogoal

groal? no that sucks

divinesaber how disappointing it will be when skulduggery finds out the one teen he trusts to at least think things slightly through will prove to be also a huge martyring son of a bitch

as if he's done anything more than say "i wont murder the captain right now" -- apparently thats all it takes to reassure him these days

lmao he'll need to raise his bar a bit...

yeah unfortunately i think we're at the point where he only trusts one teen and that's darcy............. and that is honestly a terrifying prospect

oh you know what that's extremely fair, tbh undine is so levelheaded i think skulduggery just is like "thats a tiny adult"

hasn't had even ONE emotional outburst around him

actually that makes undine more mature and levelheaded than most of the adults.....

natsuno has a weird martyr complex, it's true. just bc he's stoic and rational doesn't mean he's not a reckless dramatic bitch

though uh... if he thinks skuls is really fine with taking the bullet for everyone, he'll probably agree

he respects skuls but isn't emotionally attached, and since all the people he IS attached too are in the dusk crew...

attaboy natsuno he knew he could count on you

long way to come from "dying has consequences and you shouldn't do it for stupid reasons" good job skulduggery you've... grown

randomly planning my tl right now since it's almost 8 and i know that means it's almsot nearly midnight where the mods at

[diner] stuff will be plot relevant specifically, him checking the place out, probably dealing with whatever fucking bullshit comes up, historein maybe pal and him can talk about the Death Energy because Y I K E S

[parking lot] will be where he'll do any car-related stuff. joyrides with friends, taking care of the bentley and teaching people how to drive if they need it! (not in the bentley obviously, come on now)

[make out point] literally goes here exploring and then thinks "nice and quiet, good" and gets to spend ten minutes by himself for once. also good for plot-chat and awkward encounters of all sorts

It's a shame Crowley isn't here to have Bentley shenanigans

god tell ME ABOUT IT

just a bunch of dudes and their cars man

Pal will def share his creepy 'yeah people died here' information!

hell fuckin yaaaaaa that'll be good information to have, really underpin the romantic interludes

rainbell obviously i want to talk about jade and skulduggery's car ride and subsequent starry-night conversation
but i need to shout out to the RNG in the karaoke thread for picking i got you under my skin

omg the rng on that really was right on the money and it was so beautiful....

but also YES i am here for talking about jade and skuls' adventures at makeout point!! havin a totally-not-romantic starry night conversation, you know, as Dad Friends do,

i imagine jade would be very interested in checking out skuls' sweet ride (esp if skuls is still being ecstatic about it at the time lmao), so i figure skuls might want to give him the full spin on his bentley's many virtues, and we could get things rolling from there maybe??

no idea when or how the captain might end up squeezing into this lmao...tho my brain has the rough mental image of like

him cropping up in the backseat like, right after skuls and jade wrap up their starry night convo and they start driving back to the cafe or smth probably?? everything v chill and nice, jade maybe even actually dozing off in the front seat, BUT THEN........

skulduggery does the yawn trick to get his arm around Jade's shoulders.. and suddenly Captain

^^^

skulduggery the non-sleeping skeleton doing the yawn trick is such an incredible mental image omfg

right?

it's just him opening his mouth

the yawn is there in spirit ok, it's the thought that counts etc

but yes obvs in this way skuls needs to be doing the sappiest most compromising two-timing thing possible when the captain appears

the Captain popping in like:

like literally betwen them

i want sharky to meet gway and his flamethrower

giles and sharky @ makeout point
More seriously, I want Giles to meet the skulman and maybe get involved in Plot

the captain just popping into every instance where skulduggery has someone else in the car like "sorry?? i called shotgun??"

in reality idk what cruise has planned, i never do, these npcs just show up and i tag them with an open heart and open mind....................

rainbell but yea basically thats how it'll probably go lmfao you got it in one. either they'll find something to talk about naturally because they're just That Good Together or the captain will appear and Ruin Everything

sillysymphony: YES THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY HAPPEN i need to find out what sharky knows about pratt & clarke's meet cute and then i'll know how he'll react, but if they get along well enough sharky will help natsuno make sure his flamethrower is in good shape and not about to explode

he's good at that

albionraine: somebody's starting to understand why fae keep pets around huuuuuh

and YES by all means, he has a good in if he wants to bring up ossie to skulduggery b/c they've talked about plot stuff already, so that should make that good?

Yeah, the general rule of thumb is if Ossie's met someone Giles is probably Aware of them and at least some of the basics of the conversation, so Giles definitely knows there's Things to be Known from Skulduggery

good perfect and skulduggery will be able to know which magical system to use in reference so that works out

(otherwise he's all interested and shit and that detracts from him plot-dumping)
