_{[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!

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!

[exeggutorhead]

You're all about scaring people?

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

[quickattackjack]

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