[Video and Action] Jack, The Pumpkin King

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.

[Dray was exploring the city as well, still trying to get used to so many people and buildings. He was doing well until he spotted Jack, his skull head immediately reminding Dray of the Kreet, dark magic users from his world who whore skull-like masks. He hissed in surprise, hair standing up.]

There is a pamphlet there. What else do you need to know?

[Well.

How about that.

Here was Sans thinking he'd never see another skeleton here ever.

Granted, this one is pressing his face against someone's first floor apartment but you know?

That's okay.]

having fun?

[If there was one thing that Rapunzel did during her four days she has off from work and that was buying supplies for painting and other crafting material for if she had another job to do. So she was currently making her way back to her apartment when she came across the other.

It was enough to cause the young girl to drop the bags she was holding. It was clear she was generally scared.]

Ah, yes. I read that, thank you. But I don't understand, for example, how I can see you and talk to you though you aren't here. Are you real?

*He tap taps the screen*

*Jack turns to the person addressing him, surprised to see a kindred species*

Ah, quite! Isn't this place fascinating?

*When the girl drops her bags, Jack is equally as started, his hands flying up*

Oh!

*Then he leans over on his long spindly legs and begins picking up things and putting them into their bags*

Pardon me - and I wasn't even trying to scare you!

*In his time, Jack had seen many interesting creatures, but this was another new one. When he hissed, Jack laughed good naturedly and held up his hands as though in surrender*

There, there now. The scariest thing about me is my face, I promise you.

I assume you want to know more about the device, correct?

Unless people have helped you in that area.

[Cannot. Stop. Staring. This was not something Haru herself had ever expected to see. Was that walking skeleton?

After a moment or two of staring, she finally decides to actually speak up.]

I guess you must be a new arrival? After all, you look most curious about everything.

I am. The camera is the reflective round circular piece at the top. It records your image and sends it to me. Same thing on my end to you. The phones are linked, usually using radio waves to transmit data that your phone then reads.

[She's had to explain a number of things to a number of people. It's kind of annoying but its something to do.]

And following jack for part of the time was the little green youkai. She remained hidden from his perception for a time, tilting her head and mimicking some of his actions before she simply drifted forward and began poking him in the shoulder.

"Hey! Hey Mister! Heeey. Can you see me? Can you hear me? Are you lost?"

She was going to keep doing this for awhile...

Sure! Which gadgets do you need help with?

[You think she'd be more worried about a friendly talking skeleton... but NOPE!]

[Sorry Jack, Edith is yelping at the sight of you.... you'd think a Vampire wouldn't be afraid of a walking talking skeleton but there you go.]

[The young woman really had no idea what to say or do...But they seemed to not be trying to harm her or anything... So...they just looked scary? She glances at her bags for a brief moment before she somewhat calms down for the time being.]

Uh.. it's... Okay. I still have a lot of things to get used to around here.

[She nods her head before going to pick up her bags carefully.]

But thank you.

Oh man. Must be time to get spoopy.

Oh? Who is Spoopy? Is he the leader in this land?

*Misunderstanding, much?*

*The yelp makes Jack jump in fright, then he realises that of course she is screaming at him*

Ah, excuse me!

To be perfectly honest, all of them! I have nothing like these devices in my home town and I'm quite confounded!

*What a pleasant young woman*

Radiowaves... How interesting. What a great piece of technology!

*He clicks off video and back on again, head tilted in curiosity*

So many things to try to understand...

This device. And all devices! This town is full of technologies and all kinds of new things I do not know or understand.

*Then there's an even wider smile*

I can't wait to learn more!

*Finally he stands and holds the bag out to her, smiling in the most friendly way he knew how*

Not at all. Not at all. I don't have the most charming of faces, I know*

Jack stopped in his wandering at the tapping and the insistent voice. He turned this way and that, then spun himself round with eyes widened. "Hello...?"

*Fortunately, Jack was too busy staring at the world around him so he didn't notice the young lady staring at him. When he was addressed, he turned to her and nodded*

That is right. I didn't even know this town existed. Do you live here?

"Hehehe." Was the voice behind him? Above him? "I'm here. You can't see me right now but you will eventually. At least you can hear me though."

She tugged on his sleeve. "Are you lost? You're wandering around just like I do. But I'm not usually lost."
