[Video and Action] Jack, The Pumpkin King

[takeoffmyhead]

 What's this?

*There's only another second before Jack figures out the video function, and there he appears on screen - the most pleasant skellington you've ever seen. Or, yes, just a skellington man, who is seemingly quite animated*

Ah hello, people of Genessia Town! What a charming place this is, and what a pleasant introduction! The technology here is really quite something, isn't it? If only I had the time to examine it all! I would very much be interested in speaking with someone who can explain all these clever...mechanisms.

[Action - Various Places in Genessia]

Jack has never been to a place like this, has never been surrounded by so many things he doesn't understand. Not since his visit to Christmas Town. He can be found in various shops or cafes, picking things up in wonder, or else pressing himself against windows to peer into homes, offices, any kind of building, all with bright curiosity on his face.

[Staring at the hand a second too long, Dray finally make sup his mind and reaches out to shake it. His hand is softer than Jack, not because it's covered with actual muscle but because of his fur.]

I've been here only two weeks, I'm still getting used to it.

[takeoffmyhead]

Ah, so you're another newbie yourself.

*Jack shakes his hand quite happily, quite amused by his fur - he had not shaken hands with many furry people in his time*

And how do you find it, living here? Are you settled?

[mother_of_monsters]

Yes, I'm still used to the weird things about this world. So many people is fur-less.

[Dray complains to the first person he finds without skins or other organs. Well done, kitty.]

This place needs more green. It's all tall buildings and cold places. But Fayren isn't so bad, you should visit it. Or Everglade. I think you'll like that city.

[takeoffmyhead]

Furless. That is true. I myself don't even have any hair and I suppose other people would find that very strange.

*Jack pauses to take a good look around. It was different to what he was used to too*

Hmm... I will have to try them. I like to go for long walks and I'd like to do so somewhere less...busy.

[mother_of_monsters]

There's a lot of people hairless, I think is the lack of organs what people will find more worrisome. But you don't seem to be sick or in pain so I assume you always have been like this?

[Dray can't believe he's going to offer this but Jack has been polite and harmless so far.]

I can show you the way. I don't like crowded places either so I know some safer routes.

[takeoffmyhead]

Lack of organs... Yes, I suppose that might be unnerving to some.

*He looks at one of his hands then drums his fingers over his boney chest*

But yes. I have always been this way. But although I have no organs, it does not mean I have no feeling.

*He looks pleasantly surprised at the offer*

Would you? That would be very kind.

[mother_of_monsters]

[Dray stares at Jack's fingers and giggles slightly at the sounds they make against his chest. He is much more relaxed now than he was when he first saw the skeleton, Jack was just that charming it seemed.]

I wasn't doubting that, promise. [His tail swings behind him and he nods.] Just follow me. If you don't use the main streets it might take you longer to reach your destination but there will be fewer people around to stare at you. I know how upsetting that can get.
