...You guys. Nobody told me that Mount Mortar would be the biggest pain ever in the history of all of time. Holy jeez!

['Sup guys, Dembro's been kind of failing miserably to get out of the cave for a week straight. To say he is so done with caves forever would not be an overstatement. Demyx sighs, and then pushes some buttons to look through network posts and then...]

...Tomorrow's October.

[Spoke with near shock.]

Tomorrow's October.

[With even more shock and awe.]

Halloween's coming up! Oh, man! Halloween is coming! Oh, man. I love Halloween!

[And here comes the childlike glee of a person from a world with a Halloween planet.]

Where I'm from, there's a place where it's Halloween all year round! I love Halloween Town so much! Creepy, cool creatures going around all year long planning tricks and mischief for that one day of the year! I love that!

[He trails off a bit, then giggles sheepishly.]

So, anybody got plans for Halloween this year? There's only so much time left before the big night!

[Because forget the fact that he was furious over caves, you guys. It's October.]

[Whoa, hey. It's Sora of all people. This gets a video broadcast. Demyx waves to Sora from where he's camped out for the evening, exhausted and done with caves for all of eternity.]

You went to Halloween Town, didn't you? Did ya meet Jack? I wish I could have gone there often, it's such an awesome place!

[ you know how it is being Sora. here there and everywhere.

almost literally.

but have a wave back ]

Well yeah I met him. Jack's a really good friend. But I'm not sure if the Jack here is the same one. Joshua sure isn't...

[Hold up.

Stop the presses.

Hear them screeching to a halt, in fact.]

Jack Skellington is here? Here. Like...In this world?

[Clearly this is the single most important revelation in the whole of existence, Sora. You have no idea what you have done.]

Edited 2012-10-01 03:10 (UTC)

Well... It sounded like him.

Obviously he wouldn't look like a skeleton here.

Well, yeah. He'd totally be a human and all, but it's Jack Skellington! King of Halloween! Master of tricks and mischief!

[And now it is becomming apparent why he is having a conniption over this, isn't it? Don't mind Demyx, Sora, he's just flailing a bit right now because hero worship is a thing.]

I have got to try to meet him! But...if he isn't the Jack from our realm, is he similar to our Jack? It'd be totally awesome if he was!

Pfft.

[ waves it off. he should actually still talk to Joshua and Jack. it doesn't matter if they know him or not, right?

RIGHT. ]

He'd totally be the same kinda guy. Probably would even like someone to talk Halloween with.

He totally would, wouldn't he? I mean, he's Jack! The guy lives and breathes Halloween all year round! I'd love to get the chance to talk tricks with him!

[Because this is the guy who is trying to turn himself around and not be an accomplice to evil, Sora. Then again, some things never change.]

Think of all the awesome pranks he knows to scare people with! All the cool tricks he's thought of for the big night!

[Never. Never ever. Not even for a second.]

Maybe he's got something planned for Halloween even now.

Hey wait! I want to do some pranking for that night too!

You? Really? No offense, but I didn't think pulling pranks would ever really be your thing.

[Because, you know. Heroes.]

But, hey! I'm totally up for it! I'd love to have a pranking buddy for stuff like this! Half the fun of Halloween are the pranks and tricks that go down!

Why wouldn't you think I'd be the type? I am one hyper kid.

'Cuz, you're a hero. Goodie-goodie kinda stand-up guy goin' about saving worlds an' all that. Never really thought that type would be up to pranking and tricking people for fun.

[Yeah, he's just going to scratch the back of his head and look off because awkward.]

Hehe. Just 'cause I'm a hero and a goodie-goodie doesn't mean I'm not a teenage boy too.

I'm also very lazy, did you know?

Really? You, lazy? Never would have pegged you for that...Then again, we never really met on any good terms, huh? Maybe if we had, it would have been different.

[Yeah, that actually kinda stings him a bit. His expression turns a bit hurt, and he's silent for a few minutes.]

...So, let's change that. I'm up for pranking with you if we can meet up to do stuff on Halloween. I've got a few psychics and dark types that can do some fun things we could use.

Hey hey. You don't need to get all down. We'll fix that. Definitely.

You got some dark types and psychics. I have one that can turn INTO people.

...Lemme guess.

[He grins a bit.]

It's a Zorua.

Used to be! Trix isn't one anymore. He's not as bad about the tricks as Mirage is, though.

Between you and me? I think he learned some of it from her. But don't tell Riku I said that.

[Allow Demyx to direct your attention to a smaller humanoid sitting by the fire off-screen. The humanoid is wearing what appears to be his coat, hood down, and has a face like Demyx- only with icy blue eyes and long, deep red hair with black tips.]

Sora, say hey to Fugue. He's my Zoroark.

[Fugue, the Zoroark in question, turns to the camera and waves with a snicker.]

Great minds, yeah?

[ have some waving back and laughing. maybe Trix isn't playing games like that, but he is curious enough to put paws on Sora's shoulders and nudge to get a look. ]

They are pretty neat!

These little guys are the best! I'm really glad I got him, he's powerful and reliable and just...a really cool little guy. Well, he's not all that little anymore. But, y'know what I meant.

[Whoa, little one. Fugue catches the sight of one of his own and stands to move over to, then nudge Demyx for his own look.]

'...I thought I saw one of the young ones. Hello, my kindred.'

[...Yeah, all Demyx got out of that was a bunch of 'Zoro-zoro'. So, the blond just tilts his head a bit at what he guesses is an attempt at conversation.]

Er...Hey, Fugue.

[The disguised Zoroark nods back to his trainer.]

He just sort of... Followed me. Well actually he was taking a nap on Twigs' tree and I think we woke him up...

[ hmmm. 8|a details. friends are friends, right?

all the while, Trix leans forward a little more. ]

'Do you come from the forest as well?'

'I do not, I hatched in the arms of this human-kin. I cannot miss what I have never known, but I may envy you for knowing a world I do not. However, I have learned much of the human-kin, valuable knowledge. I have learned this shape, and with it I have begun to learn other things. Our kind are fortunate, kindred, I believe that with some effort I may well be able to learn the strange tongue human-kin use to speak. A challenge I believe I will enjoy.'

Umm...Fugue? Fugue. Uhh...I was kinda...talkin' to someone, y'know. No rush, man, but we should get some sleep soon and I wanna set some things up with Sora.

[Fugue turns his head to look at Demyx, a single finger with a markedly sharper nail than it probably should have is raised politely in turn.]

'I have the good fortune of a psychic-kin being among our pack, he is capable of speaking to the human-kin through thought. However, it would be much easier if I could possess that skill. As I am now, I cannot tell him without the psychic-kin that I am speaking to a kindred one. These walls that separate us are...most unpleasant at times.'
