39 days till Halloween [video]

_{[At first it's hard to tell that the Pumpkin King is upside down. He's hanging off the common room sofa in the Breeding Centre with his legs draped over the back. A pokemon toddling by along the cushions is the only clue to his position.]}

You know, I've been wondering...just how many of you were dead before you arrived? I admit it's gotten a little lonely on the network. We dead folk must stick together!

[He flounders further for a bit.]

How long--how did you die the first... What was death like? That time?

[keychained]

[no worries, Jack, nobody ever really dies in Kingdom Hearts! seriously. they just kind of explode into sparkles then come back later on in a sequel.]

Me too! But I have to admit I'm not as scary anymore.

[A grin returns quickly.]

Thanks!

And look at the bri~ght side; I'm he~re with a family who needs me.

[Creatures? Creatures. He wonders if they're the sort that he knew of.

What would even happen to one of those if they came here? Everyone became human. Even he would rather not think about that.]

Interesting...

[notakaijuu]

O-oh. [ Yeah, she's not sure if that's better or worse. ] Um, what was it like? Being a s-skeleton?

[video]

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

She is. I'm glad you think so.

[Fatherly pride. So proud.]

You mean like destiny or something?

Re: [video]

[used_fireblast]

All right. Least as okay as you can be in a place like this.

[Better than being dead, at the very least.]

[newbiehero]

Can't say I was, I wasn't even aware that something like that was possible. Are there many people like that here?

[conduit]

I wonder how a person can be double dead. And re-dead. [ Her Shinigami mind can't wrap around it. ] I think we met earlier! You were lost in some type of cave~! [ She remembers it, but, she's not sure it actually happened. ]

[suzakufeather]

It was?

[notrueking]

Hm! Well, it is somewhat surprising-you'd expect the population here to either be all living or all dead, not a mix.

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Name's Envy. It's always nice to meet other people who're already dead.

[He snickers.] It tends to scare the people who aren't.

[video] scuse my late sob

[shadowdive]

I returned to the one I was taken from and I as an individual no longer exist.

[VOICE]

[glaciates]

Some change? I've only been here a few weeks. Those of us that are dead are just... stuck here, then?

[A pause.]

...Not that I want to be dead, but the people who are alive back home can return, right? What about us?

[video]

[crimsondirge]

I-- see. [that's a lie.] I'm afraid I -- don't know anyone else who is dead, to my knowledge...

[tensai]

How exactly are you dead? I mean, you're talking to me--!

[ex_cashcow493]

I do not think that is how the legend goes. My body is to be placed at Avalon only to be called forth whenever Britain needs me once more.

[ So complicated. ]

_{[An embodiment?]}

Were you a god?

[video]

[quickattackjack]

Well no, but then you have a story! Who wants to hear, 'Oh, I was an idiot and I drowned.' That's not excitign at all.

_{[He actually shuts his mouth for a long moment and ponders on that.]}

Perhaps being dead is just different for your world.

_{[No, Jack, really?]}

[quickattackjack]

Arisato Minato it is! May I ask what you mean by, 'sort of'? Where I'm from you're either alive, dead, or undead. But since I've asked, I've met a few people who don't fall into any of those. It's so interesting!

[video]

[quickattackjack]

Well...

_{[Jack taps his jaw. He thinks back.]}

Suffocating isn't the best way to go, I imagine. It's very painful, but at least you eventually black out. The longest you can go without breathing is er...let's see..._{[He does a little mental number crunching and thinking back to a few hanged people he knew who didn't die instantly.]} Five minutes maybe...ten minutes? It's a little different for everyone, you'll fight for a while. It doesn't make for a very good story, but at least it's not bleeding to death slowly.

[Voice]

[quickattackjack]

That's a good word for it! Always something happening at home. Not to say it's boring here--just a different sort of excitement.

[video]

[darkenedgales]

'I met sharks and survived' sounds even more exciting to me!

[But that's just his humble opinion.]

... It might be. Don't expect me to get myself killed to find out, though!

[Perhaps just 'being dead' is different from 'being dead and brought back to the world of living with a god of the underworld in your head' altogether.]

[quickattackjack]

_{[All these brave kids! Jack is honored to know them. ;-;]}

I'm glad you're with us!
