[the following are now set up in the main part of the Dressing Room, animated by something Jack must've done.]

[Jack is putting up posters, advertising for help for the upcoming Halloween. Interested? Better approach him.]

[ooc; so obviously, flashy things hate me. REALLY REALLY HATES ME.]

Preparing for Halloween, my dear! why, as Pumpkin King, it's my duty!

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

Pumpkin King? Is that why you're an animated skeleton?

[moves closer, examining the posters.]

[imaskellington.livejournal.com]

Of course! Do you want to be a part of it? I need some helpers if I'm going to make the Halloween in this place spectacular! I'm surprised people aren't preparing when it's so near.

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

[considers for a moment.]

...it'd give me something to do, I guess. And I don't think a lot of people think this far ahead for Halloween.

[imaskellington.livejournal.com]

I have to think ahead! After all, I am the Pumpkin King. And your help is very much appreciated, Kairi!

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

Not a problem. It's not like there's a whole lot to do around here anyways.

[smiles faintly.]

So, do you have a name, or am I just calling you Mr. Pumpkin King?

[imaskellington.livejournal.com]

Jack Skellington, if you would please. [bows]

I take it you're not the Kairi Sora introduced me to before?

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you, Jack. Can I call you Jack?

No, definitely not. I've seen vampires and werewolves, but never a talking skeleton. My name's Kairi Victoria.

[returns the bow, though only slightly.]

[imaskellington.livejournal.com]

Of course!

Nice to meet you Kairi Victoria. Tell me, have you ever celebrated Halloween before?

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

When I was a little kid. I haven't for years, though.

[imaskellington.livejournal.com]

A shame. Hm. What did you like about it when you were young?

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

Uhhh. At the time, I think I liked dressing up and getting candy the most, but looking back on it, I'd say getting to spend time with my father. He was the one that always took me out on Halloween.

[shakes her head with a sigh.]

Don't really need to dress up anymore, at least.

[imaskellington.livejournal.com]

Hm. Family.

Sandy Claws once explained that all holidays are better when your family is there.

But dressing up is half the fun! Don't you agree?

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

Sandy Claws-- You know Santa?

[a little shocked, but shakes it off after a moment.]

Yeah, but who needs to dress up when I'm already one of the 'monsters' people dress up as?

[imaskellington.livejournal.com]

Of course! We're close friends! [screw the fact that he stole Christmas :D]

You are? Really? What kind?

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

I'm a vampire.

[grins faintly, letting her teeth appear in full.]

[imaskellington.livejournal.com]

Interesting! The vampires from my world are fantastic musicians! What are you good at?

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

Really? Well, I haven't been a vampire for all that long, actually. Not even a year. Annnd as for what I'm good at? Uhh.

[has to stop and think about this.]

...fighting?

[imaskellington.livejournal.com]

Hm. Very useful if those Heartless try to ruin Halloween. Any other talents?

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

...well, I've got really good senses, and I'm really strong.

[frowns.]

And I can fly, and manipulate my body into shadow. But most of me is directed towards fighting.

[imaskellington.livejournal.com]

Perfect! We could really use someone like you! Though I wish I knew someone who could sew...

Is there anyone around here who could?

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

Use someone like me for what?

[raises an eyebrow questioningly.]

There's hundreds, maybe even thousands of people here. I'm pretty sure at least one knows how to sew. Maybe you should put up a sign somewhere? With an 'inquire within' kind of thing on it, with instructions to wherever you're staying?

[imaskellington.livejournal.com]

Anyone can be helpful! And like I said, you can help if the Heartless act up! Not to mention that you're already a vampire!

That might be a good idea.

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

True. Guess if you need any fighting or heavy lifting done, I'm the girl for the job.

I get those sometimes.
