#the skull becile

[ask-the-becile-boys]

[ID: A digital sketch in black and white. A screaming and crying snake (avatar of Muse) is coiled around a heart shaped cake that reads 'happy bye' on the top. The snake is surrounded by the Becile Bots. Dee is screaming back. The Jack says placatingly, "W-We'll always be with you! Kinda!" The Skull scowls while holding a forlorn looking Tatters. Hare winces and says, "Eeesh." Scratch makes an anime-style sweatdrop-and-closed eye expression. Riker grins smugly at the viewer and says, "I get a boyfriend in the next project." Locksmith's disembodied, X-eyed head lays on the table wearing a party hat. End ID]

@ghoulishjester suggested this as an end-of-blog celebration, and while I'm still looking for something to do IRL, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to do something really really stupid

I decided to practice drawing cats, and I think I did--

Stop! Stop! Stop! This cat looks suspiciously familiar...

A feline version of the Skull?! :0

Epilogue, Part 1 of 2

Previous | Next

[ID: Nineteen digitally sketched panels in black and white. Some panels do not have anti-aliasing, making the lines more pixelated.]

[Panel 1: White text on black background reading, "Call connecting (ellipses)"]

[Panel 2: View from a webcam of Scratch adjusting its angle, with SFX: -fidget-. Scratch has different prosthetics now, including a more robust left arm, a proper left eye, a nose and mouth, and a neck vent with a circular mark on it. He is smiling and looks less tired than before At the bottom of the screen is a name plate like the ones present in video chat programs, reading 'Royce Ellis (he/him).' He wears a Walter Robotics t-shirt reading 'WR']

[Panel 3: No anti-aliasing. A shot of the top of a picnic table. At the bottom of the screen the name plate reads "Riker Szarka (he/him)." Riker says from off panel, "(em-dash) oh! It came through! Can you hear us, Scratch?"]

[Panel 4: Panel is split diagonally. In the top left, Scratch smiles and says out loud, "Video's a little grainy, but I can hear you!" In the bottom right, Riker, in pixelated lines with name plate, says, "Eh, best we can do with rest stop Wi-Fi."]

[Panel 5: Scratch narrates in white text outlined in black: "It's been a few months since the Beciles left town." Scratch in the present sits at his computer desk, hands folded over his stomach. We can see that he now also has a robust prosthetic right lower leg. He says, "I guess that means you finished your contract in Chicago?" Narration continues at the bottom: "They like to check in every other week or so."]

[Panel 6: Riker sits at the picnic table, looking into his phone in his hands. Dee is barely visible sitting on his far side from the viewer. The Skull stands at the end of the table looking at a map. Narration from Scratch says, "Riker's working a little, when he can." Riker says,"Yeah. We would've stayed longer, but we weren't makings ends meet. I got something lined up near Baltimore, though."]

[Panel 7: No anti-aliasing as Riker turns his phone to point at The Skull, who continues looking at the map (labeled 'Map'). Riker's name plate is present. Riker says from off panel, "We're gonna detour toward the Appalachias. The Skull wants to try and jog his memories like Hare and Jack." Scratch asks from off panel, "Is anyone else up?" The Jack says from off panel, "We're all here!"]

[Panel 8: Narration from Scratch: "The Jack gets more confident every time they call." Hare yawns (SFX: all caps -yawn-). No anti-aliasing, Riker's name plate present. The Jack sits smiling, wearing a T-shirt that reads 'cubs' in all caps. Hare has an eye patch riveted over his missing right eye. The Jack says, "Hare and I are just awake for the call. It's The Skull's turn to ride up front."]

[Panel 9: No anti-aliasing, Riker's name plate present. The Skull finally looks up and says, "Plan is for me to drive once we're off the highway. The straight roads through the cornfields are good for practice." Hare smirks and says, "Lord knows you need it, leadfoot. How's that impossible metal stuff treating you, Scratch?"]

[Panel 10: Scratch smiles brightly and says, "It's light! I feel a lot better without so much weight to carry around." The Jack asks from off panel, "Did Mr. Walter retune your elec (ellpises) electro (ellipses)" Scratch says, "Electrolarynx. Yeah! I still mostly sign in person, but it's handy for video calls like this or for phoning in to work."]

[Panel 11: No anti-aliasing. The Skull lowers his brows sternly. Narration from Scratch: "The Skull still worries a lot, but he seems more at ease with himself." The Skull asks, "He's not tying your upgrades to your work, is he? No holding back on maintenance if you don't behave?"]

[Panel 12: Shot of Scratch's new left arm gesturing calmly. He says, "Not at all. Everything is covered by Walter Robotics. We're even discussing a slight pay raise now that I'm past probation!"]

[Panel 13: No anti-aliasing, Riker's name plate present. Narration from Scratch: "Hare has matured… just a little." The Jack says excitedly, "That's great!" Hare grins and says, "If only we'd known remote work was so flush when you lived with us!" Scratch says from off panel, "Well, selling Becile Industries' secrets was a good foot in the door."]

[Panel 14: No anti-aliasing, Riker's name plate present. Dee sits, looking at an e-Reader. Tatters sits on the table top by her hands, wearing a cat harness and leash. Hare says from off panel, "Psst, Dee. Say hello." Dee says flatly, "Hello." Scratch's narration: "Dee is still adjusting. But they're giving her time."]

[Panel 15: Same shot. Tatters looks over at something, her ears and whiskers perking up. Hare says from off panel, "We can't pull her away from that e-reader thingy you sent her. Once she got those library cards on it, it was all over."]

[Panel 16: No anti-aliasing, Riker's name plate present. Hare folds his arms on the table and looks to the side, asking, "(ellipses) Say, uhh. Did Rabbit get my last postcard?"]

[Panel 17: Profile shot of Scratch, looking relaxed. Narration reads: "For all that Locksmith tried to destroy us (ellipses)" Scratch says in the present, "She did. The 'bots were asking after you guys, actually. Could you send me a group photo to show them?"]

[Panel 18: Narration: "I think being forced to let go helped us in the end." No anti-aliasing, Riker's name plate present. Riker looks down at the camera and says, "I should be able to screenshot something here (ellipses) Huddle up, guys!"]

[Panel 19: Tall panel. Narration: "Things might not be easy. Change still hurts. But the shadows are just a little bit lighter." Riker holds up his phone at arms length in front of him, back to the table. Dee looks over; The Skull leans in, slightly smiling; Hare and The Jack stand to get into frame, both grinning, Jack flashing a peace sign. Tatters looks mischievous off to the side. The narration finishes: "And the Becile Bots are doing just fine." End ID]

Skull in the Park

@ask-the-becile-boys

So it’s not actually the time frame I gave but I couldn’t wait. A lil thing where Skull meets someone from his past. A piece inspired by https://archiveofourown.org/works/44349940

Everything had been changing. Faster and faster at old Becile manor. Something was coming, looming over them. Skull could feel it, and he knew it wasn’t going to be pleasant. Things seldom were for them. Even the good days were hard.

Now that Riker had fixed Jack, things were quieter. With his own limiter removed, he was grateful. Things would set him off, and he wouldn’t know why or how. Skull was never a social bot, but he was finding himself needing more time for himself as he tried to process everything.

Which was how he found himself at an old park. After Riker bought him rosin for his bass, and a lot of work to get it to play again, Skull was finding old comfort in it. It felt like there was less free time now than there had ever been, and yet, he felt like he had been playing more than ever. Training his fingers to dance over the strings like before. And over time, better than he’d ever been.

Something he needed more than ever. And some freedom from the dark smoke stained halls of the manor.

In the early morning, before Riker had finished sleeping off the whiskey he finished off last night, Skull had silently packed away his bass in its canvas case. Through the manor he went and out the door to where he came to sit on an old bench that creaked under his weight.

It wasn’t safe to go out just yet, and he knew that, but he knew he needed this too. The others would be safe if they stayed together. Just a few hours to himself.

Pulling out the double bass, Skull sat a moment while he made sure it was perfectly in tune before resting it against his metal shoulder. Clicking off his optics a moment, he just let himself focus on the strings under his fingers and the faint sounds of the park around him. Birds around him and the faint sounds of children playing.

Unfocused, Skull let his fingers control the music at first. Experimenting and warming up on scales as he ran his bow smoothly across well loved strings.

Once he felt looser, Skull started to play. He started with a simple classic. Something he could play in his sleep. But it was smooth and made him feel lighter as he let the world fade away to only this moment. Just the feeling of his fingers on the strings and his bow as it glided over them. The sounds it made as everything else seemed to fade away.

Skull played his first song and then another and another. As he went through his music, his mind wandered to a new song he had been practicing. Something by Koussevitzky. He was pretty sure it wasn’t the original song that he had bought all those years ago, but something about getting to play his music was a comfort and a joy. An act of defiance he would have never let himself have all those years ago.

As the notes poured from his double bass, The Skull focused on his fingers, making sure not to miss a single note as they danced along the strings. This was the most relaxed he had let himself be in such a long time. He didn’t notice anything outside of the bench he sat on.

As the song came to an end, Skull was taken aback to see a bill held out in front of him in a wrinkled old hand. Looking up, he looked confused. Or at least as much as his faceplate would allow.

Leaning on a carved wooden cane was an old man with wild curls and a smile so large his eyes squinted. “Nice music, mister,” he said in a shaking voice.

“I’m not busking,” explained The Skull with a huff of coal smoke that curled around his face plate.

A small nod, but the man didn’t move his hand away. “My Ma says you always oughta thank musicians,” he said, his grin turning just the slightest bit cheeky.

Suddenly, Skull’s face softened in recognition. It had been so long he had thought the little boy would have been gone by now. Smiling a little, he took the offered bill.

“I was real sad when you didn’t come back that next week,” the man explained before using his cane to point to the edge of the bench.

The Skull understood well enough and scooted over to let the old man sit next to him, trying to keep the smoke from blowing in his face.

“Sorry ‘bout that. Things got in the way,” he tried to explain as he laid his bow in his lap.

“I had meant to come back.”

The old man laughed and used both hands to tap his cane on the ground.

“Life has a way of getting in the way of things doesn’t it? I came back for weeks, saving up my pennies.”

A bit of smoke curled around Skull. He felt a bit guilty about that. Even if that hadn’t been his intention.

The old man gave Skull a side glance before grinning. “And when I gave up, I had saved up enough so I spent it all at the soda shop. Gave myself a stomach like no other!” He laughed brightly. Hard enough, he slapped his leg.

Which made Skull laugh too, as he thought of a little boy trying to eat as many sweets as possible.

“‘Least you put it to good use,” he chuckled. “Glad ta see ya again, kid.”

Wanted to draw something for Halloween and this is my wip!

So Hare as a pirate to be honest I drew the pose first and just thought it fit his sword is very much fake because he cannot be trusted with a real one.

Then we have The Jack as a spooky ghost which he tried to make a little friendlier with a smile drawn onto it but I think I might have accidentally drawn my new sleep paralysis demon.

Finally The Skull who I really struggled with what he might dress up and settled on Tetsuo Shima from Akira! I feel like Scratch would have shown the movie to him.
