badfic_manor | {5th Jingle} Who put that here? [In person/Video]

[Malone's been getting very familiar with the air ducts over the last week, mainly cleaning them so that he's not choking on dust while moving from point A to point B. Last week wasn't very fun at all, and he'd spent half his time moping in the coat closet and he other half in the air ducts. But now that Megamind had some power on and there was a killer on the loose, well...actually, that didn't change much except that when Malone trots through the main hall and throws open the door to the coat closet, he can see a small body tucked neatly up on the shelf.]

Ewwww, how long has that been there?

[The video feed cuts on to show a disgruntled-looking Fool with the closet in the background, body clearly visible and identifiable as Conan's if anyone knows him well enough.]

Has anyone been looking for this guy, by chance? [deadpan] I found him. If anyone would like to come and do...I don't know, whatever...with his body until Monday, be my guest. I'm not going to share my bed with anyone who's a child, dead or not.

[He pauses, horror dawning on his face]

Ack, did he bleed on my sheets?

[The feed cuts out.]

Malone peers at the screen crookedly for a minute before grinning with delight.]

I remember you! You can have his body as long as you come and get it. Like I told the other guy, I'm a Human Key, not a delivery boy.

I'll be right there -

this other -

Little taller than me, dark skinned, black hair, odd accent? [Please, PLEASE let it be Hattori. :|]

[Malone looks rather sulky at that question.]

I don't know. It was audio, he didn't give a name, and he hung up on me. I'm not letting anyone have the body without a name to point him to if he gets pissy about it when he wakes up.

((OOC: feel free to show up and bust B's bubble!))

Damnit. [Not Hattori then; he'd have no issues answering video with video, and his accent would stick out a mile away even if it was only audio.]

I'll be right there.

I'll be in the closet. The password will be 'seventy-six'.

[Feed cuts out]

Thank you - I'll be right there. [And yes, he is going to be in a slight hurry...]

[And shortly after the feed cuts, there's a knock on the closet door.]

[Another knock? Still not opening the door.]

What's the password? [grumpy Human Key is grumpy]

Seventy-six. [Grumpy is fine. Grumpy hopefully means someone else got sent away.]

[And suddenly there's smarmy good cheer!]

Oh good, it's you! [the door opens and Malone peeks out] Mister Rude Hangup has already been and gone away empty handed. [he jerks a thumb at he body] He's all yours.

[He's going to quite carefully gather up Conan's body; he can find the key and get Conan safely settled in his own room, or at least get into the room himself.]

Thank you - I certainly owe you for this.

Although - I'm still a little curious who it was that was so interested in this and if it's someone I'd recognize.
