ooOoo
Saturday, late at night, Skulduggery's place, kitchen. That's where its all at.
Yes, that's right. That is where everything goes absolutely crazy, with talking skeleton in fine-pressed suites and insanely spiked hair on the top of some desperate teen boy. That is the place you want to be.
The odd group of supernatural beings, with magical powers such as fire throwing and sand castle building, along with a side dish of idiocy, fight crime on a daily basis- or, rather, when something in their league pops up.
But tonight, when everything's just so... chill, they relax and get... Crazy.
Valkyrie and Tanith are beautifying themselves even more with their rocking sleep, whilst Ghastly is being totally amazing by setting himself on the sofa and watching TV.
In the kitchen, however, is where the craziness is.
Fletcher. Skulduggery. Intense staring. Intense thinking.
... Holiday ideas.
"No, no no no..." Fletcher shook his head slowly, placing a hand on the table infront of him. "Listen, Skul, if Val is going on a holiday, its got to be a zoo. Who doesn't like animals?"
"Who does?" Skulduggery answered. He stared down at Fletcher's hand for moment, an evil intent wandering through his mind. "I most certainly wouldn't like to have llamas or camels spitting in my face as we walk past." He subtly clicked his bony fingers, and a miniscule flame appeared between his forefinger and thumb. Inching his hand closer to Fletcher's, the flame burned a little brighter. Fletcher looked down at Skul's hand and failed to notice the small flame, therefore thought Skulduggery had other things in mind.
"Ehh..." Fletcher swiftly pulled his hand away, eyeing him warily. "You know I like Val, right?"
"...Fletcher..." Skulduggery said, also withdrawing his hand, snuffing out the flame with much disappointment. "If you've tried anything on Valkyrie again..."
"What, you getting jealous?" Fletcher teased, earning him a death stare from Skulduggery.
SLAM
Skulduggery's hand was inches away from Fletcher's, his long slender fingers burning with an almost white flame. Fletcher gulped and looked up at Skul fearfully.
"Do you two butt-wipes mind keeping it down?" Ghastly appeared in the doorway, rubbing his eyes tiredly. "Valkyrie and Tanith are sleeping - do you want them to wake up at this time?"
The two froze for a moment, and Skulduggery slowly sat back down on his seat, though his hand continued to burn.
"Good boys... Right... Burn anything in your own home, Skul, and you've only yourself to blame." Ghastly turned around and made his way back to the sofa. I should be paid for this...
The next day (in the morning, whatever pleases you most)
A load yawn announced Tanith's awakening as Skulduggery placed the kettle on the hob. He was too cool for most modern technology.
"Good morning, Skul!"
Skulduggery turned around to see a rather sleepy Valkyrie, and couldn't help but smile to himself at the way her hair was all messed and tangled.
The sound of the kettle boiling brought him back to reality and set about making up two cups of tea. He turned to Val and asked, "You want tea, right?"
Valkyrie turned her head as she sat down and glared playfully at him. "No!"
Skulduggery, dumbfounded, stood there holding two cups of tea with no idea what to do with the other one. Suddenly, Valkyrie ran at him and pushing one of the cups up towards his mouth, making the contents of the cup to spill in to his bony mouth. Seeing as he is a skeleton, the tea was quite visible as it trickled down his spine rather awkwardly, making Valkyrie and Tanith laugh uproariously.
Fletcher, who apparently had favoured the floor underneath the table to a bed, was lying unconscious underneath the table, and unfortunately fell victim to the remnants of the tea that had been poured down Skulduggery's mouth dripping on to his back. He woke up with a start, turning like a ninja and sitting bolt upright, resulting in him banging his head on the table.
The others stopped laughing and slowly bent down to look at Fletcher with pokerfaces. Fletcher looks at each of the faces with an expression of self pity.
"What?! I hit my head and you all just stare at me?"
They all shrug and stand up straight again, and continue on to talk about a new topic.
"Valkyrie?"
"Yes, Skulduggery?"
"Me and Fletcher were discussing holiday ideas last night, after you had mentioned that we never go anywhere."
"Oh yeah! We should so go somewhere."
"Sadly, Fletcher suggested going to a zoo-"
"Ew, who likes zoos?" Valkyrie made a face.
Skulduggery bent down simply to stare pointedly at Fletcher, who grimaced and crawled out from underneath the table.
"I just thought-" he began.
"Well, don't think. You know it hurts your head." Valkyrie sighed.
Skulduggery turned to clean himself up with kitchen roll as Tanith piped in.
"You know, I think we should all go to Ibiza."
"Tanith, I don't have a passport." Valkyrie whined. Tanith looked at her with exasperation.
"Get one then?!"
Valkyrie folded her arms across her chest and mumbled something about being afraid of the flight attendants and their falsely happy faces. Skulduggery tutted and turned around, miraculously clean again.
"We could go and visit the technology Museum in Amsterdam." He suggested, and he sounded almost hopeful. But his hopes were crushed when Tanith made a face and Valkyrie almost gagged.
"A museum? Skulduggery, we're not ancient like you."
"I wouldn't say that- Tanith is very old as well."
"Hey! Watch it, boney." Tanith growled, squaring him off.
"Boney is getting old, like you." Skulduggery smirked as he rolled his non-existent eyes.
Valkyrie jumped to her feet, sensing a fight and not willing to be left out, whereas Fletcher slowly crawled back underneath the table to hide.
Suddely, Ghastly made one of his amazingly timed appearances and slammed his fist down on the table, causing them all - apart from Skulduggery, he's too good that - to jump and stare at him.
"That's enough bickering- lets just combine the two to make an ideal holiday for all."
Valkyrie raised an eyebrow. "What did you have in mind?"
And then, something strange happened. Ghastly began chuckling evilly, waving a hand as he slowly and dramatically backed out of the kitchen.
"You will see."
