I found something too. I took a nap and it was just there, hanging over me, when I woke up. I thought it was part of a bad dream at first. I do not like it at all. I'm ninety-nine percent sure I'll add it to the 'cragslist'. I'm staying with Hannibal and Will, so I'll have to check with them to make sure they don't want it. Although I can't imagine they would.

[She knows Hannibal and Will would understand that it almost looks like something out her serial killer father's cabin. And no one else needs to know that part.]

This is it:

[She shows a chandelier made of antlers.]

I used to hunt; I don't have a problem with using every part of an animal. But this, um, this just isn't my style. At least it doesn't smell like venison.

[or dead girls, she thinks to herself.]

Thematically it matches mine

[Which Michael is assuming she saw on the "craigslist" post, so he won't spam her with more pictures of taxidermy tables.]

But I'm not exactly looking to start a cabin rental business
so I'll be nice and let someone else have it.
God it looks like decor from a theme restaurant.

[He does not blame her for trying to get rid of this monstrosity.]

That is one restaurant I wouldn't want to eat at.
I wouldn't even want to sit down. I hate to think of what the chairs would be made with.

Some steakhouse places have them.
The ones going for that like
"cowboy rustic manly" vibe.
I've been to one.
Tacky as hell.
The chairs were just wood, if that helps at all.
The food was meh.

[I'm sorry did you want awkward Yelp?]

Wooden chairs are better than ones that you could get gored by.
I'd still stay away.
We don't need anymore tacky furniture here either.

[This is perhaps a rude thing to ask, but now he's curious.]

Are you maybe afraid of deer?
Or like, dead animals?
I do agree on the tacky furniture bit, though.
I think enough of it has rained down from the sky already.

No. And no. I'm very good at field dressing deer.
I don't like who this chandelier reminds me of.
Yeah.
I guess I should be glad it didn't land on me.

Who does the chandelier remind you of?

[Today on: Things Michael Instantly Regrets Asking.]

A very sick man.

[Yep. Regret. One more thing before he drops it, though:]

The sick man's not here, is he?

No. He's dead.

Okay.
Good.

[There's a pause as he fidgets with the idea of potentially doing a good deed that might take him out of his way and put him in contact with people he doesn't know.]

Do you
really need someone to get rid of it?
So it doesn't remind you?

I have someone who will help me take it apart if no one wants it.

Oh.
Okay.
That's good.

[Phew. Social obligation successfully avoided.]

I wonder how old the buck was, to have such a crown. Or if tis merely carvings, made in the likeness of antlers. An odd choice.

I think the antlers are from more than one buck, if they're real.

Does it look real, do you think? It could be carvings... it is hard to tell over these devices.

It could be carvings. Either way, I don't like it.

It is rather... ostentatious, isn't it? Also terribly impractical.

And creepy.

Very creepy. [ He agrees ]

Maybe they had a fascination for deer?

Maybe. They were definitely obsessed with something.

[She frowns deeply, thinking of her father and what his obsession had led him do, in a cabin decorated with antlers.]

Pointy chandeliers?

Or dead things.

Both, possibly! Are you going to throw it out?

I might have to. I don't like to waste anything but I can't have this around. I just can't.

Mm. [ Maglor eyes it thoughtfully ]

Could you take it apart and use the pieces for something else, maybe?

Maybe there's something that can be done with the little lights.

Mmm, and you might be able to use the bone from the antlers for things like knife handles and the like, although it might be more trouble than it's worth.

I knew someone who used to carve bones into knives. He'd make plumbing putty out of bones too. But yeah, probably not worth the effort.

Bone is not my preferred material for weapons, although it can serve, at times! Will you need help taking it apart?

I'm still hoping to find someone to give it to. Or to throw it out.

Hopefully you will be able to! But if not, I am happy to help you pull it apart.

Okay, thanks. I'll let you know.

Until then! Take care.
