[The town square is decorated with bright streamers and balloons and flower garlands that have little bats and candy skulls hidden in amongst the blooms. Jack is standing on the center fountain, with a Carnivale mask on similar to this. His clothes match and are just as extravagant as the mask.]

Gather 'round my friends and fellow citizens! It's time to celebrate! Oh, yes, and celebrate we shall~ In a manner most befitting to our royal patrons and the rulers of our land.

[A band strikes up in the background and Jack spreads his arms wide as confetti pops out of his sleeves like a magician. He leaps up onto the fountain and then jumps away as the festivities begin and Lord knows, he's singing (except I fail at lyrics, so whatev - pretend they're good :[ ). ]

Gather round, gather round!
There's a party to be found!
Drop your tools!
Leave your rules!
It's time to party~!

Forget last year's broken dreams~
Today's the day we laugh and scream~
Here our fantasies and frights will come alive~~

So gather round, gather round!
Turn all your sadness upside-down!
Swaying to the happy beat
Hear the music
Move your feet!

It's time to celebrate the year~
Up flights of fancy, down halls of fear~
It's the Carnivale here in the Land of Eins~!

[Jack suddenly appears back on camera and pulls his mask down to reveal his skeleton self and grins wickedly]

I'll be waiting.

[OOC: In case you couldn't guess, he's throwing a masked Carnivale-like party in town for the citizens. Food booths, games, music, dancing, the whole nine yards. It's open to anyone; feel free to log here if you want to say your character is attending. Imagine...the Feast of Fools from Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame only with horror houses and ghost storytellers mixed in.]

[The video clicks on and Jack is seen up close and personal with the camera, grinning like a madman into it]

Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and ghouls! I've finally gotten it done! I promised to let you all know when it was finished and it is! Haha! It's simply brilliant, let me tell you.

[he sprints back a bit and the bubble machine Mireille gave to him for the Christmas event is seen in the middle of the fields. He crouches over it, flourishing his hands]

This! This my friends is a rare gift, a rare gift indeed and I finally got it working just as I like it! Now! To unveil it!

[he flips a switch and it starts spraying jack-o-lantern shaped orange and black bubbles; then black and blue bat-shaped ones, and then white ghost shaped ones. He cackles in glee and then grins]

Dreadfully brilliant, isn't it?

Glorious! Simply glorious! It's the day! The very day itself! [long string of cackling] I just know you'll all enjoy the surprises I left for you!

Especially you - Dr. Cox, is it? Jack has something extra special for you!

[ooc: Jack went present happy. Everyone has some sort of Halloween-esque Christmas present at their doors. Be it fluorescent bats or little wooden rats with santa hats on, he's left you something that's both cute and frightening at the same time. Enjoy, Sieben!]

[Haunter!Jack floats into view, chilling in the forest]

Oho! What's this? One moment I'm a skeleton right and proper and the next I'm this? Haha! Brilliant! It'll be faster to look for the doors this way!

[he spins around and zips off, passing through trees as he goes]

[a skeleton fish is seen swimming (though Lord knows how) through the water rather calmly]

Now this is a peculiar sensation. I wandered out to the forest to see if I couldn't find some things for Halloween and when I got back, why, it wasn't Halloween at all!

And now, I'm a fish.

Curiouser and curioser...

Well, I'll be! I've gone and found another Town! And this time it's made of straw with little huts and a very large building! It must be connected to that Sieben Town place because the sky and the grass are the same. I must be getting closer to home!

I wonder where the city went though...

No matter! Salutations, new people! I believe this sciency box came with me when I went into the forest. Haha! I knew that the trees were the key. I discovered the other Holidays just the same!

Now, let's see.......... [muffled fumbling] EUREKA! I've got it! Eeeeeeheeheehee! I can't wait to show the others! It came right off the tree!!
