01 ☠ It's a dead man's party!

[curiousing]

[ The Plane has a brand new arrival who is... of the unusual sort. Heels planted in place with bony hands resting on his hips, a rather tall skeleton dressed to the nines is standing there and gazing up above as well as the 'ground' below his feet. A look of amazement was evident upon his skull as he looked around. ]

Extraordinary! Why, I've never seen anything like this! [ There's a beat as he pauses, tapping the side of his skull in thought. ] Well, yes, there was the time I flew the sleigh. But I was no where near to being as close to stars than I am now! This is truly astonishing...

[ The skeleton man then does a little and very brief two-step as he watches the stars below. When he stops he lets out a laugh, his arms thrown up into the air. ] And all of this, hidden within a shop! Why, if I didn't know better, it's almost like the Hinterlands! Almost, but not entirely.

[ It was as if a light bulb switched on in his skull suddenly-- an idea coming to mind. A closed boney fist clapped against the open palm of the other. ] Oh, I know! I should show Sally! And Zero too! I just know they will enjoy a sight like this!

... But how? Hmm.

[Please excuse Isaac while he stares.


aaaaaaand stares.



....Nope, still staring.]

[curiousing]

[ Apparently Jack thinks nothing of this because when he notices Isaac just staring, the dead man is all smiles and cheer as he waves. ]

Why hello there!

[grand_gaia]

[Isaac manages not to run screaming.]

H-hi?

[curiousing]

[ Maybe it's because it's October back home and Halloween is growing closer. Or maybe it's because he's well aware of the fact that a walking, talking skeleton tends to, by default, scare people in general.

But either way Jack addresses Isaac as if nothing about this situation was strange. At all. Ever. ]

Tell me now, do you live here? This place is terrifyingly astounding!

[grand_gaia]

[Congrats Jack; you're the first walking Skeleton that hasn't tried to kill Isaac.]

L-Live here? No way! I just...come and go like everyone else, I guess.

[curiousing]

[ Huzzah! Quite the achievement! ]

Oh-ho! Is that how this place works? How fascinating!

[grand_gaia]

Seems like it. I don't really know why though.
