Skeleton Jack, the Pumpkin King

[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.]

What a curious thing this is. I didn't see Sandy Claws on Christmas, but that was perfectly fine! Haha, this place, it sure does like to mess with the seasons, doesn't it?

I wonder, Dr. Cox, did you receive the gift I left by your door? I did make sure to wrap it so you wouldn't be able to miss it!

And Mireille! Salutations and many thanks for this wonderful gift! I'm having so much fun with it! I've even got it making orange bubbles! Now just to see if I can tweak it a little to put faces on the bubbles and it'll be the perfect jack o'lantern machine!

When I get it working, I'll be sure to show the rest of you!

[ooc; For reference, Jack got Dr. Cox a football and a little table football set. However, the football is fuzzy and green and looks like it might actually be alive - as in, when it's snoring, don't wake it up or it might bite you. :|b ]

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!!
