Sitting on Spider's desk is one of these. Beside it is a small placard reading 'One hundred words on your thoughts/reactions, please. Exactly.'





((OOC: And to avoid any misunderstandings, ignore the numbers. I didn't have time to remove them from the picture.

Connor sits down at his desk. He contemplates the skull for a few minutes, while chewing on the end of his pencil.


Skulls are a symbol of our humanity. What remains, after we have moved from this world, is a bit of bones. The human skull is unique, unmistakably human. Archeologists and forensic scientists can identify a person’s race based upon the skull alone. Even without skin, the markings are distinct.

Looking at this skull, I think about death. The only certainty in life. Ma taught Murphy and me to handle guns when we were wee boys. I shot my first tin can when I was three. I’ve never shot a human being, but I wouldn’t hesitate, if I had no choice.
