[OPEN] KEEP THE EARTH BELOW MY FEET

Characters: Skulduggery Pleasant and YOU.
Date: Throughout March.
Location: All over. Skulduggery's splitting his time between the Palace demolition, the Hotel, and... everywhere else, really. But if you're looking for him, those first two places are the best places to look.
Situation: Now that Skul has his Bentley back, he's in a much more approachable state of mind. Approach! He's also taking active steps towards solving the symbol puzzle, so if you see him flying over the Sectors, that's probably what he's up to.
Warnings/Rating: None yet. Apart from maybe a love affair with a car.

A)
Skulduggery spends at least a section of each day up on the Palace grounds, occasionally helping with the physical work of the demolition, but more often than not somewhere near the library, keeping an eye on what the kedan workers are doing with it. As long as the sealed-over entrance to the basement area doesn't get touched, however, Skulduggery doesn't interfere - and he even goes so far as to help the university kedan catalogue the collection of books.

In a marked observable difference from the previous months, Skulduggery's now almost perpetually cheerful. You might hear him whistling 'Tiptoe through the Tulips' as he works.

That changes when the Dust contamination becomes apparent. Although Skulduggery himself isn't affected for obvious reasons, he's visibly relieved to discover the poisonings don't have permanent consequences, and he starts investigating where the contamination might have come from. That investigation takes him into all of the areas deemed too unsafe for the demolition work, but most noticeably the Throne Room.

B)
While the Hotel garage is still being constructed, the Bentley itself is parked outside the Central Sector entrance. Contrary to popular belief, Skulduggery isn't there all the time, a fact which certain gang kedan try to take early advantage of. From about March 6th onwards, the Bentley gets given a wide berth, due to the stories of Skulduggery chasing up and giving those gang kedan what he called a very firm talking-to.

When Skulduggery is with his car, he's usually polishing it, or fixing the small dents and scratches it acquired while it was with Yunxu - once again whistling 'Tiptoe through the Tulips' as he works. He generally has his magical face on for the first half-an-hour, wears it out until it starts misbehaving, and then abandons it.

C)
Every so often, Skulduggery tries to follow a mental map of the console symbols through Keeliai, flying above the rooftops and landing in the centre of each Sector, following a pattern he changes slightly each time. If you catch him when he's landed, he's usually muttering, but he'll be happy enough to stop and explain what he's doing. Any help, after all, is always appreciated.
