Skul and Total
Nye rubbed its defused palms together when the last Sanctuary Agent left for the night shift. "This will be my greatest invention yet. Now lets see what this baby can do to annoying should-be-deader-than-dead skeletons." He flicked the red switch, the very one he had to hide from Clarabelle because she almost blew up his machine earlier trying to turn on the coffee maker, and put it on last.
A whirring sound vibrated the floors. Nye looked around again, making sure the coast was clear before doing something it wanted to do all its life. Nye cackled evilly into the air and because it was an accomplished evil scientist, it didn't choke when it finished with a 'ha ha'.
Well that was before the machine started to make noise Nye didn't program it to. He would have liked to give it a parrot sound track recording 'I hate Skulduggery Pleasant. I hate Skulduggery Pleasant.' over and over but he didn't have the right parts, instead it wheezed and rumbled then all of a sudden a gigantic steam cloud formed above it. "Uh oh." Nye shrugged its shoulders then grabbed its bag. "Its not my problem now." It pushed a button then skipped as much as its long legs could without flipping over to its bedding quarters. The machine brithenged and a dial panel flipped to Skulduggery's address.

Total banged on the table impatient. "Where's my meal!? I want service! I want service!" Being the incredible influence he was Iggy, Gazzy and Angel started banging on the table too. Max came out the kitchen carrying three plates full of bagels with jelly jam and peanut butter, hot sauce, and cream cheese; cereal and milk; cookies of every kind, almost all the grapes and sauages stacking higher than the Eiffel tower; all about to spill over. Max turned in the other direction and shouted over her shoulders, "I got my breakfast, ya'll can serve yourselves." And then she disappeared using her wing to hold a bagel and took a bite.
Total gaped at her back. Angel sighed then flew above the counter and kicked over the boxes of cereal. Iggy and Gazzy attacked the soiled food flakes and chomped them down, however Angel was slightly smarter and hummed as she got out a bowl and scooped the mixed cereal and poured milk.
Total huffed then lept fromt the table. He tried to flutter his little wings, they were coming along quite nicely if he did say so himself, but he couldnt get more than a few inches off the ground. Total landed half fell on the couch. He pushed the remote to turn on the tv but it would only show static. He grumbled. "Hey kids with apossable thumbs, the tvs broken again!" But the bird kids were too entranced with their forged breakfaat.
Total sighed then jumped off the couch, he would have much rather let the humans do the work than leave his comfortable but taking food away from them was taking food away from a dog in the middle of chow time, it was savagery!
So he crawled out the doggy hole he made Fang build for him, make it or get peed on in your sleep!, was more of how that got processed. He managed to climb to the top of the roof where the cable pole was with his teeth. When he got to the pole Total moved it adound until he could get the tv to work. Until he remembered he couldn't see the tv from the roof.
"Dididly shit whickets!" Total tried to get down again but then his wing got caught on the pole. "Why does a dogs life have to be torment?"
"A little to the right. The other right!"
"I've been going to the right for the past thirty minutes." Skulduggery whined.
"Now its crooked," Valkryie bit her bottom lip. "How am I supposed to watch NCIS if the antennas broken?"
"Whose fault was it that Billy Ray went sprawling into the antenna in the first place?"
"Whose idea was it to trick him into thinming we had a fifth God Killer weapon on your roof?"
"Very good counter but it was in thee attic."
"Do you even have an attic?" Valkyrie sctuntch up her face.
Skulduggery took too long to answer. "Yes."
"How come I never saw it?"
"How come I'm the one fixing this?"
"Touche." Suddenly a zap of energy current zipped its way through the antenna sending Skulduggery off the roof. Valkyrie rushed over making sure he was alright but Skulduggery was just a little past that point.
"Bark?" Skulduggery said.
Valkyrie cracked up falling to the floor. "Roo no." Skulduggery muttered.
Total, still stuck on the pole was now getting soaked in a thinder storm. Lightening crackeld above and then the pole lite up and rushed toward the barking dog. Total's leg finally let loss making Total fall off in a geap. When he had regained consciousness Total looked over him and muttered darkly. "I'm gonna kill that girl."
Total walked back inside after "shifting the air" to get down. He walked into the kitchen and stopped. "Why the hell are there gigantic midgets in my house? Valkyrie's the only midget I don't allow but still somehow manages to sneak into my car to step into my house."
"Oh hush Total. Stop being so pushy and get over here. The tvs working again." Angel snuggled into the couch then patted beside her. Skulduggery tried to throw his hands up but then he fell on his face. He recovered then looked down. He stared bewelldered then did the only thing that came to mind. He howled, causing everyone else to cover their ears. "I'm a dog! I'm a smelly, tiny, furry dog!"
"And wet too," Gazzy said. Skulduggery growled as the rain came down heavy with a thunder clamp. He jumped then howled again. "What evil master mind would do this! First a skeleton, now a mutt!" Skul covered his real eyes thinking murderous thoughts outloud, "what a suckish afterlife for me."
