Jack jumped a little at Gaston's smack, not so much because of the gesture itself, but because one of the rib bones under Gaston's hand had popped loose, and fallen with a clatter into his pelvis. It didn't hurt, and it didn't really hinder him in any way, though, so he opted to ignore it until they got into the city. "A good color to like." He agreed, picking out a red for Gaston as well, and offering it over as he popped his skull back into place, murmuring lyrically under his breath. "This is Halloween, red and black, slimy green...."

They proceeded into the city itself, and Jack took a moment to pull his shirt and suit jacket up, revealing a can of polish and several neatly folded rags resting in his pelvis, with the dislodged rib laying on top. The journal was set down on these, and he carefully snapped the bone back into place, shaking his head at his own carelessness. "Well, now that you're in, what do you intend to do?" He'd give Gaston a hand settling in, if he were able to, but he was hoping to make it back home in time to join in with the rest of the town for the festivities....

"Well, I thought I might find the local tavern," Gaston voiced his earlier thoughts on the matter, not even bothering to hide his stare as Jack put away his journal inside of himself. He settled for putting his own journal in a pocket, since he currently had internal organs taking up that space in his own body. "I've found that's usually the place to go for the latest news..." he added. "Not to mention, there's good company and cold drinks. Something for everyone. What do you say? Are you game?"
