[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

[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.]

[notshadowfever]

Really, now? [Eggman sounds cynical and raises his index finger.] So tell me, what fate befell this fellow?

1/3

[evildoorstop]

Er..He was...eaten! Eaten by my monstrous slave.

2/3

[evildoorstop]

Yes, by a great beastly...

3/3

[evildoorstop]

MANATEE! BWAHAHA!

[notshadowfever]

A manatee? Baaaa ha ha ha! That's a good one!

2/2

[notshadowfever]

Oh, you were serious.

[evildoorstop]

As serious as the grave! Bwa ha ha! ...Hey!

[notshadowfever]

[Eggman takes a step closer to Murray.] Still, you might be of some use to me. I'm sure there's some kind of ghastly power in you keeping you alive!

[evildoorstop]

Ghastly! Fearsome! I am the most feared skull after all! [He should probably be a little worried about that step, but the power of gloating trumps all.]

[notshadowfever]

I'm sure you are! Ho ho! [Not gonna get within biting distance here, but Eggman does cock his head and observe Murray more closely.] How do you feel about being part of an experiment to harness your ethereal energies with the help of a giant supercomputer?

[evildoorstop]

[Flattery always helps.]

...? A part of what to do what with who?

[notshadowfever]

Oh, don't worry yourself over the details! Needless to say your "demonic" energies will be put to more use than raving at passers-by!

[evildoorstop]

[He sees Eggman's smirk and raises it by a cackle.]

Ah, a chance to show my true power! Bwahaha!

[notshadowfever]

Ho ho ho! Indeed! Your true power! [Eggman turns to leave.] Then it's a plan! I'll get right back to you as soon as I've invented the machine that will drain - ahem! - direct your evil energies!

[evildoorstop]

[Murray chuckles a bit not cluing into Eggman's stumble being far too focused on imagining future doings.]
