[Action Post]: Hey There Skull!

[harrys_skull]

[Sitting on the reception desk is a human skull. Your standard boring human skull with empty eye sockets and made of weathered bone. This skull, however, isn't completely normal. The bone is covered with strange runes that look older than the skull itself. It might be worth it to pick it up to examine them or it might not, the choice is up to you.]

That's true. Whenever things got rough at the inn, she really stepped up! Is your friend the same way?

Action.. because... reasons.

[magnus_bane]

[He leans down, arms crossed on the desk right in front of the skull. His magic senses are tingling (hah, he loves puns sometimes). Not that he could feel things like he used to. No, he nearly walked past the little skull and came back.

Golden feline eyes show amusement as he rests his chin on his folded arms.]

I know you are not just decoration.

Re: Action.. because... reasons.

[harrys_skull]

[Orange light flares in the skull's sockets and an annoyed voice appears to come out of a non moving mouth.]

Ruin all my fun why don't you. So what are you handsome? Werecat?

[magnus_bane]

[The corners of his lips lift in satisfaction and the gold of his eyes glint well with the fiery light. Oh, this was impressive, indeed.]

Far be it from me to ever run fun. Especially if it is the devious sort of fun. Just make sure it is spectacular.

[Smirking, he angles his head, lifting a brow at the compliment.]

Flatterer. I like you. I'm a warlock. You know. Half demon, half human. [He points to his eyes.] This is the mark of a warlock. I believe I got off easy compared to other warlocks.

[harrys_skull]

Wow interesting little quirk that, warlocks where I come from aren't that lucky.

The skull chuckles.]

Scaring the newbies is one of my few joys. No body and all that.

[magnus_bane]

It is. But my friend had green skin and little horns on his head, so I count myself very lucky. I'm curious what warlocks look like in other worlds... as I know the elves I have seen here are not from my home.

[Grinning, he knew he liked this entity.]

A sentient being after my own heart. Do tell, my new friend, got a name? I am Magnus Bane.

[harrys_skull]

Warlocks were I come from are consumed by the dark magic they create...nasty stuff trust me.

Name's Bob.

[magnus_bane]

That is certainly possible. I have seen warlocks die horrible deaths for practicing the more forbidden arts.

[He's done some. But not to cause problems... more to make money. But even then he's very careful it is safe and causes no calamity.]

Pleasure to meet you, Bob. You give off quite a strong magical aura. My magic is a little skewed here... so I could be wrong.

[harrys_skull]

Nice to meet you Magnus. And I should give off some major magical juice. I used to be Fae...got cursed by Mab to be stuck in this skull...don't ask. And now I'm a spirit of air and knowledge.

[harrys_skull]

Harry, oh yeah. He might grumble and pretend to get mad when he needs to keep saving the world, but he knows he's one of the few who can.

[kappagirl]

[She laughs.]

I don't think Ohana came very close to saving the world...

[She couldn't even save the inn probably, not that that was her fault.]

Doesn't your friend get tired at all?

[harrys_skull]

He does sometimes.Magic takes a lot out of a wizard. But he knows how to take care of himself so he doesn't use up too much will.

[kappagirl]

...What happens if he uses too much?

[harrys_skull]

He could die. Wizards have had that happen to them.

[magnus_bane]

Oh? You do not feel like the Fae I know. But yes, that is a powerful magic... [He pauses thinking about this.] Did you do something to be stuck in this state? You need not say, just curiosity...

Knowledge can be dangerous when the wrong person has it.

[harrys_skull]

I uh pursued someone I shouldn't have and that is all I'm going to say about that.

[Bob's eyes blink, which is his version of a nod.]

Believe me I know that better then most. Worked for a few dozen warlocks over the centuries.

[kappagirl]

He could die?! Th-that's terrible!

[harrys_skull]

It is terrible but Harry is really good at being careful so don't worry.

[kappagirl]

I-I hope so...

[Though she's never met this guy, she can't help but be concerned. She knows plenty of people who tend to rush into things without thinking it through and those are pretty high stakes.]

So when your friend's saving the world... What do you do?

[harrys_skull]

[Bob chuckles.]

Read romance novels...I love them.

[kappagirl]

Romance novels..?

[Oh dear. She immediately thinks of Jiromaru, who isn't exactly a great person to be associated with.]

...We had someone who wrote those staying at the inn once. He was very, um...

Strange.

[harrys_skull]

Strange...strange like how?

[kappagirl]

He got Ohana stuck in his room once...

[And then tried to kidnap the whole lot of them.]

O-only for a little bit! And she was fine! But then he stole the inn's vehicle and tried to jump into the ocean.

[harrys_skull]

[Bob chuckles charmed.]

Sounds like life was never boring at the inn huh?

[magnus_bane]

Tsk... how cliche. But certainly something that happens.

[He grins all pleased. He rather likes this being. Very entertaining.]

Luckily for you, I know better than to mess with power I shouldn't. Call it a lesson learned from a not so fabulous demon father.
