[quickattackjack]

[The feed opens and focuses on a weary face. Or it would be looking weary if there were any skin on it. There is a skull staring pleadingly at you with cold dead eye sockets. 8c It's gone and happened AGAIN and though he doesn't mind being his old bony self at all, he knows he's going to end up scratching his glasses if this keeps up.

Action;

[otherpumpkin]

[He was strolling around town with no worries until he sees you, Jack! And he's quite quickly running over to help you out, since it doesn't look so easy to walk like that.]

You okay?

[He looks up at Jack with button eyes, his brow furrowed in worry. He knows exactly what it's like to have some body mutation hinder your workings, so he can feel for you here.

He doesn't notice it's Jack, since he hasn't heard him speak yet... But he's not scared, since he's dealt with Mother when she's angry before.]

[quickattackjack]

[Jack is hobbling along like a boss. >8I He's found a large decorative candy cane to use as a sort of makeshift crutch. It's...obnoxiously appropriate for the season but it doesn't make things much easier.]

[When Father comes rushing up he pauses and leans against a low fence.]

I'm afraid I'm in a little trouble, friend...

[And then he trails off because he noticed something a little off about his musical subject. 8I]

[otherpumpkin]

[It would be amusing if the person wasn't in such a state.

And when he speaks, he knows that voice.]

Need a hand, your Majesty?

[Oh god, that fun little name has stuck.]

[quickattackjack]

[Jack actually takes a moment to respond because he's staring at those not-eyes. He's not put off but he IS hella curious. And in all this madness he's a little surprised his friend isn't more...orange.]

A leg, actually. I need a leg. My left one to be exact.

[serpensrex]

[OH GOD IT'S TALKING TO HIM WHAT DOES HE DO!

HE'S JUST GOING TO FLAIL AND SCREAM SOME MORE BECAUSE NO HE'S NOT ALRIGHT THERE'S SKELETON TALKING TO PEOPLE OH GOD WHY]

Action

[in_themachine]

[There is a guy in sunglasses and a really weird gravity-defying hairdo walking around in a nice red snazzy suit.]

[He is also kind of dead. :I]

[But when he sees Jack hobbling around, he pauses, not remembering what exactly a skeleton is. Darn that ghost amnesia of his! He looks wary, though.]

What, um, what happened to your leg? And why do you look so...bony?

Action

[quickattackjack]

[Jack stops in his endless search. >8c He really liked this pair of shoes too! What was he going to do with just one shoe, give it to his houndour?]

That's what I'd like to know.

[No second answer for you!]

Action;

[notmidgets]

[Have five little orange-skinned blighters laughing at your misfortune, Jack, all of them and their Mime Jr. (with shades).

The ringleader perks up, speaking in a strong cockney accent.]

Oi, hoppalong! Where's yer leg?
