I've been told it's possible for people you knew previously to end up here as well, so just in case I'm simply that lucky:

Has anyone heard of the Sanctuary? [evidence of pen tapping] Or a skeleton detective, for that matter?

Comments

[requitedfate]

A skeleton detective? That sounds like something out of a manga.

[neat anonymous print]

[ryuuzaki]

No.

Is this a detective who is also a skeleton, or someone who investigates remains?

[skeletonenigma]

Both. Unless you mean remains that have decayed to bone.

In which case, the answer would still, surprisingly, be both.

[vstheworld]

I've heard of skeleton travel agents...??

[skeletonenigma]

An interesting concept, but not what I was looking for.

Do you know any such agents personally? Or is this an expression I'm not familiar with?

[vstheworld]

[Pen rested here. He had to think about how "personal" it is to never actually meet someone face to face but to be able to spout of just about every line of dialogue they ever said at the drop of a hat thanks to years of gameplaying.]

No.

And that totally should be an expression if it isn't.

[skeletonenigma]

What would 'skeleton travel agents' be an expression for?

[vstheworld]

Travel agents in general? Those people never seem like live human beings.

[skeletonenigma]

You have a point. But helping impatient people take expensive vacations that you never have time for would be enough to suck the life out of anyone.

[vstheworld]

True dat.

Would the same go for a skeleton detective?

[skeletonenigma]

Are you aware of what, exactly, a detective does? They don't book people on expensive vacations, unless you count bringing criminals to justice, which I've heard is lovely at this time of year. Or prison, since I'm constantly told how expensive maintaining those can be.

[vstheworld]

Vacation in prison, now where have I heard that befo

Oh wait
