[action] The Frozen Depths of Hell!

[evildoorstop]

[Murray has found himself outside a lot lately, in the cold and the snow, but now it's time to take advantage of it. He is currently sitting on top of the fountain, soaked and icy. He has some little icicles forming in his eye sockets and at the back of his skull. Despite his icy situation, he seems diabolically cheery, calling out to random people passing by.]

Beware my frozen sockets of doom! This land will be smothered in the winters of death! Beware! Turn back! Turn back! Before the frozen depths of hell envelop you! [And other such threatening comments.]

Comments

[ He furrows his brow, assuming that was an insult. ]

The hell does that mean?

[all7seas]

Though I don't half suppose you'd make a funny roly-path through the snow. Highly identifiable. You'll need an alibi.

[He seats himself on the edge of the fountain.]

And a wig.

[spiritbruising]

Incident?

[does she want to hear this...]

[notshadowfever]

Ho ho ho! Yes, and they were! Unfortunately, the ghosts weren't very good at pursuing my enemies. [Eggman frowns at this. He's totally forgotten he's talking to a skull, too.] These days I just leave them a few ancient statues to haunt, it usually keeps them out of my way.

[evildoorstop]

This handsome head has gotten around. I suppose it would be recognisable. But, how else can I take the glory of their fear?

[evildoorstop]

They have statues? All to themselves? Ancient statues? That would be perfect! Adventurers are always after stuff like that. Why they must be positively busy with people to torment! Lucky...[He mutters something unintelligible, but certainly insulting.]

[evildoorstop]

Ha, lets just say fear was the last thing on his mind. [He pauses thoughtfully for a moment]. Well, afterwards anyway. Lots of fear at first.

[evildoorstop]

I'm not the only one looking stupid around here.

[notshadowfever]

They do get a few heroes to pounce on when my fortresses are invaded! Ba ha ha!

2/2

[notshadowfever]

[Eggman suddenly wonders something.] So, do you haunt ancient artefacts, or are you limited to just haunting frozen skulls on fountains?

[evildoorstop]

I am limited to nothing! But, I don't haunt things. I mean I do, but...I'm a skull, not a ghost!

I just play one in crypts.

[all7seas]

Oh, I shouldn't worry about that. You're going to taste it, tongueless though you are. You'll taste it as they tremble, mate.

[immamartillo]

You look stupid enough for both of us.

[ He ignores the fact that he's terrible at insults and moves on to a question that he's been wanting to ask. ]

What are you, anyway?

[notshadowfever]

Sounds pretty limited to me! But what manner of strange power gives you the ability to speak?

[evildoorstop]

My insurmountable will!

[evildoorstop]

Evil incarnate. Your worst dream come to life! Bwahahaha!

[immamartillo]

[ He nods and holds his hands up in mock surrender. ]

Right, right, I'm terrified.

1/2

[evildoorstop]

BWAHAHAHA!

2/2

[evildoorstop]

You're...not taking me very seriously, are you?

[evildoorstop]

[He's silent for a moment, possibly imagining that...or trying to remember what it's like to taste anything. It's hard to be sure.]

Yes...Yes, but will they know it's me doing the tasting and scaring? It's my name that needs to be feared! Not some other...wigged...skull.

[notshadowfever]

Oh, is that all? [Eggman looks deeply disappointed.] How disappointing.

[all7seas]

There'll have to be a cunning public relations campaign...

[evildoorstop]

This sounds like a lot of effort to have me known [A pause that gives off the impression of puzzlement.] and not known.

[evildoorstop]

Is that all? Is that ALL? The last man who made such a comment won't be doing so again. [A small chuckle, ignoring the fact that the only reason it won't happen again is due to separate worlds and not fear at all. Accursed so called mighty pirate.]

[immamartillo]

[ Another nod, this time accompanied by a smirk. The skull may not be scary, but he's entertaining. ]

Took ya long enough.
