Ch 117: Unlimited Skull Ammo

"Can you tell where it is?" Ted asked as he tried to glance down.

They had made their way back into the massive chamber with the central stairs lined on either side by giant statues. The hallway they had come out of just led to a small balcony, with a series of pipes above it. Ted hadn't really looked down, but he already felt a little dizzy.

Uh...somewhere further down? Death added.

"I'm afraid that isn't much help," Narissa shrugged. "Perhaps we should just toss you and let fate reunite you with your body?"

You know, that sounds like not a great idea. I mean, I'd be stranded down there, and who knows where my body would be? Death argued. It's probably all cold and lonely without me to guide it. I mean, without me, my body can't even balance on a skateboard, let alone do any cool tricks!

"And I'd bet you can't do many tricks as just a head either," Ted sympathized.

Yes! Exactly! We're just so much better together, you know?

"Well, I don't know how good we can do from here. Poor Ted still struggles with the whole risk of falling thing, and I can't really pick out your bones amongst everything else in here." Narissa said calmly. "So, I say we just toss you out towards the middle, unless you can somehow point us in the right direction?"

Come on, it was different. We were upside down, and I was slapped into a very restrictive cage. It made seeing where I was real difficult. Death explained.

"Wait," asked Ted. "Why couldn't you teleport out of that cage? I mean, just your head seems able to do it alright?"

Huh? Death murmured. You know. I don't know. I tried it when I first got slapped in, but nothing. Felt like I was...rooted? Like a tree, you know.

"Wait!" Ted added as he had a sudden epiphany.

Ted grabbed Death's skull, and then looked at him before smiling, and hurling him out over the edge.

"Well, I suppose that ends that discussion," smirked Narissa wickedly. "I hope you got over your wobbliness to see his body lying out there."

"Nope." Ted smirked.

"Well, I suppose that's just as well, though I think I might miss him." Narissa paused. "After enough time away from that mouth of his of course."

Ted ignored her, and held his hands over the sides of his mouth as he called out. "Do you see it around!?!"

Why did you just throw me! Death whined.

"Do you see your body!?!" Ted repeated.

I don't...

"Do you see it!?!"

No! No i don't bro, I just see the betrayal of someone I thought was a good...

"Then teleport back behind me!?!" Ted shouted.

Narissa's eyes grew wide, and then she held the back of her hand over her mouth as she started to chuckle.

Oh...yeah, I probably should have thought of that... Death commented as he appeared behind Ted.

Ted grabbed Death's skull again and then stretched his arm back. "Alright, I'm sure you'll see it eventually. Just let me know where to throw, and here...we...go!"

Ted let loose with all his might, and Death's skull went flying out into the greater room once again.
