Magic. Alright. I can deal with that.

It's a pleasure to meet you, then. I'd.. really appreciate if you could just wipe all the embarrassing bits of our conversation from your memory.

I completely understand, Mister Gannon. And while I must say your fear is strange and outlandish, allow me to settle it by saying that this is not the case. I’m held together by magic, yes, but it was not a disease that killed me.

/looks very conflicted about touching him/

Arcade Gannon. /hesitates before shaking his hand/ Since you're the only of your kind, I can only assume--and hope--that you don't have some strange and possibly magical disease that I could catch.

Or that the strange and possibly magical disease has killed off everyone else and it's already too late for me.

...I swear I'm not trying to be offensive. Really. Just cautious.

My kind is no different from yours, good sir. If you’re implying that skeletons, as a whole, are completely different creatures, then perhaps you need a head examination.

-Chuckles softly, extending a gloved hand.-

Skulduggery Pleasant. And believe me when I say, there is no kind of mine, as I am the only one.

Some peoples' manners are just appalling.

Neat trick, though. Quite a stark contrast to, uh, seeing a skeleton stuffed into a refrigerator in the desert. /adjusts glasses, still looking very unsure about the man(?) in front of him/

No offense to you and your kind, of course.

I’m not? Good God, why hasn’t anyone told me?! Really, you’d think the common courtesy of some people would cause them to inform someone of not being human.

[covertbandagingskills-blog]

Judging by my past experiences with mutants--none of them pleasant--I'm not sure anyone would mistake me for one.

But yes, I'm human. And you're... /eyebrows furrow together as he tries to phrase this correctly/

Not. Yeah. I'd definitely say not.

Good lord, I had no idea Americans were growing at such tremendous heights. Did their DNA get spliced with that of large trees?

[covertbandagingskills-blog]

It's possible. It would definitely explain the various species of birds that have tried to raise their families on me.

As romantic as that sounds, I don't think I'd make a very good meal.

"A 6'4" pile of elbows wearing a lab coat" doesn't exactly sound appetizing, does it?

If you do, then I will eat you.

[covertbandagingskills-blog]

..I'm not going to pretend I'm not incredibly relieved by that, but part of me really hopes you'll allow me to continue teasing you about it anyway.

That was not— Nevermind.

I am not a cannibal.

[covertbandagingskills-blog]

Ah. Right. Excuse me.

You just have a refined palate.

[covertbandagingskills-blog]

One close call at The Ultra-Luxe was more than enough cannibal-induced anxiety for me, thank you. I think I'll spare myself the nightmares and stick to vegetables for a while.

Perhaps if you were to consume more meat….

[covertbandagingskills-blog]

You're not hunting anywhere. Our freezer is nowhere near large enough to hold that much meat.

—What is your definition of “wildlife”.

[covertbandagingskills-blog]

Following the trend of our constantly-conflicting definitions of various words and concepts... not humans.

—What is your definition of “wildlife”.

[covertbandagingskills-blog]

Unless you're referring to the positively thriving wildlife population? Yes. I disagree. Profusely.

covertbandagingskills replied to your post: I find that the ability to hunt largely depends on…

/sternly/ Vulpes.

But you do not disagree. <impudent>

[covertbandagingskills-blog]

I'd be more comfortable with the term "bitingly" if you weren't using it literally.

Just once, you should try responding with, ah, less violence. Just once. I'm not saying you have to transform yourself into a pacifist overnight, of course, but maybe... don't.. try to hurt people physically. Too much. As much as you have been.

  …/he’s right/

Despite my charming disposition, I’m not sure I’ve ever had a patient attack me with a butter knife. My poor social skills don’t excuse yours.

Surely you have been met with an exceeding amount of indignation. You worked in the filth of Freeside. I doubt your kind bedside manner swayed opinions. 

[covertbandagingskills-blog]

You'd be surprised how well people will treat you when you don't harass them.

  No harm was done unwarranted. <stubbornly> 

[covertbandagingskills-blog]

Vulpes.

I would not call it a ‘crime’. 

[covertbandagingskills-blog]

Your definition of "crime" is a bit warped.
