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!

[Oh hey it's Sandy Claws guy. Envy almost passes the post up, even if it does relate to him, but...'we dead people have to stick together' was something Nanao had told him, once.]

[...OKAY FINE, YOU GOT HIM.]

In a way, yeah.

Hello! I remember you. Seems a lot of people were caught up in that inconvenient in-between. What happened to you?

_{[JACK YOU DON'T JUST ASK PEOPLE THAT.]}

[exeggutorhead]

Heh, it was so long ago that I don't really remember what happened. [LIAR. But he doesn't sound like he's lying at all.]

Someone tried to bring me back to life, but it didn't work quite right.

[So casual about this.] What about you?

Necromancy is such a pain when it's shoddy. I'm sorry that happened to you.

I drowned after falling off a bridge. A little anticlimactic.

Necro--?

[...you know, he doesn't really feel like correcting Jack. Explaining human transmutation is complicated and he doesn't know this guy very well. Necromancy is CLOSE ENOUGH. So he just nods.]

Ah, really? Drowning's not very fun, sorry you went like that. [He is a little sympathetic because drowning does suck, but mainly he's just repeating Jack's condolences to be polite.]

...I don't think I ever got your name.

It's alright. I'm not afraid of water or anything, no trauma there.

_{[Besides, he had DENIS. Denis would just...EAT THE OTHER WATER POKEMON. Probably.]}

--Oh! I'm Jack. I can't reacall yours either.

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.

_{[An enormous grin grows on Jack's face.]}

It really does--where I'm from, that's what we're all about!

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

You're all about scaring people?

[That...actually sounds like the kind of place Envy'd like to visit.]

[video]

[quickattackjack]

Yes. Terrifying the human race for...as long as anyone can remember!
