Sure, it had its problems - lack of mobility being at the top of the list. But, really, a skull was scarier than some typical seen-it-already skeleton. And, for a skull, he's accomplished a lot.
And yet. And yet, he experienced a body again. The power of robotics, while far beyond his understanding had been at his bony fingertips, figuratively speaking of course. And it had been marvelous!
Sure it could be fun to ride in someone's pockets. And there were certainly some far cleaner pockets in Luceti, but to move again! To stalk across the land spreading mayhem and terror.]
I'm sure some of you feeble mortals have wishes you want granted. How do you go about doing such things?
[Later after some thought, he remembers a certain round doctor who he once spoke to and later him bragging about robotics or some such.]
[Filtered to Eggman 1% (It was only sheer luck he managed even that one percent.)]
Eggman! I want to talk to you!

Date: 2012-09-21 02:15 am (UTC)[Eggman practically bounds over to the cata- um, scientific device and prepares to release its lever. There's a very nice view of the open window from here, by the way.]

Date: 2012-09-22 01:05 am (UTC)[Eggman releases the lever, sending Murray flying straight out of the window and on a very fast trip towards the ground. Perhaps now is the time to see how well those wings work.]
Farewell, Murray!

[And then, with a look of determination mixed with anger, Eggman turns away to go back to the drawing board.]
