Outside the Dorm, Monday Afternoon

[thebeastofhouston]

Arabella was returning from her science class when an exhausted deliveryman stopped her just outside the dorm. "Arabella Baylor?"

"Yeeees?" she asked.

"Sign here, please."

Care package? But she'd just gotten back from Houston...Arabella scribbled down her signature and waited to be handed a box or something, but the guy just said, "Have fun with it," and walked away.

It was then that Arabella noticed the twelve foot skeleton standing on the lawn.

"What the--hey, I didn't order this!" The guy ignored her. "How did you get this thing up all those stairs?" Still no answer. Arabella stared up at the skeleton. The skeleton...stared off into the distance, several feet above her head. "What the heck am I supposed to do with you?"

((Open to all who would like to boggle at Arabella's new friend!))

“Yeeeeeeah,” Miles said with a chuckle. “Well if it does cause any problems we at least have a ton of people around who could probably handle it. Maybe the best thing to do is keep it in a place that is contained? Hey! You think the police will lock it up until after Halloween?”

"...do they have a cell tall enough?"

“They could lie it on its side? Maybe?”
