Daily Discussions

• How's the Halloween business going?

How's the Halloween business going?

Player, I've been ruminating on our traditional Halloween themes... Scary skeletons, Jack-o'-lanterns. Tell me -- do you have a favorite? →  Witches. Marvelous! Witches have such flexibility -- they can be creepy cacklers with a cauldron... player Or ominous silhouettes in front of the moon! Exactly! Witches can fit into any Halloween motif. Why, they're practically indispensable. →  Skeletons. How delightful! Or are you flattering me? You don't need to do that, you know. But I do love a good bone rattle. And no one can grin like a skeleton can! →  Creepy clowns. TODOResponseToCreepyClowns

• Penny for your thoughts, Jack?

Penny for your thoughts, Jack?

Player! I need your help thinking up some new ideas for Halloween. You know, fresh insights. Topical errors. Contemporary creepiness. →  Vampires. You're right! Vampires have been experiencing a sort of renaissance. Which is charming, as many of them were around for the Renaissance! But I do have colleagues back in Halloween Town who are vampires. So I feel that territory is well-covered. →  Haunted animatronics. Hmm... Yes, I see the possibilities! Strangely human in effect, but we make the movements odd and jerky. Oh, and no eyes! That's always effective. I could practice moving like that. And perhaps create a costume! →  Going to the dentist. TODOResponseToDentist

• Want to do something together?

Want to do something together?

PLAYER, would you like to join me in some screaming practice? →   Let's do it! Marvelous! Now we'll start easy. A basic yelp. →   Ahhhh! Very good! Try another yell, but longer this time. →   Ahhhhhhhh! Now higher! A proper curdling scream! →  I think I'm done, thanks. XXXXXX →  Eeeeeeeeee! That sent shivers down my spine – exquisitely done! →  Eiiiiiiieeee! XXXXXX →   AhhhhHHHhhHHHhhh! XXXXXX →   Argh! XXXXXX →   Yip! XXXXXX →   Screaming practice?! Yes, even if one has no vocal chords, one must keep one's voice in prime condition for blood curdling screams. Constant practice is essential. Care to join me? →  Sure! TODOResponseToSureScreamingPractice →  No, thanks. All right. Perhaps you'd like to simply observe... YYYEEAAAAARRRGHHHH!

• What are you up to, Jack? [Recruiting for Halloween]

What are you up to, Jack? [Recruiting for Halloween]

Player, I've been considering recruiting new fright-makers for Halloween. Do any of our Valley friends strike you as particularly scary? →  Maybe Merlin? Merlin? Oh, he's not scary at all! Though, I do think he has other Halloween potential. Consider the special effects he could make! player Oh, so sort of a behind-the-scenes support staff kind of thing? →  Definitely Ursula. A witch? That's perfect! And she has such a majestic presence. Oh... but she'll likely want something in exchange for working with us. player True, I guess you'd want someone who's in it for the joy of scaring people. →  What about Goofy? Oh, but he's so endearing! Though I am occasionally afraid he'll trip and hurt himself... ...but that's not really the sort of fear I'm looking for. player Fair! player Well, good luck with the search!

• What are you up to, Jack? [Practicing Shakespeare]

What's it like being a skeleton person?

Player, I've been recently counting my blessings – it's something Minnie recommended as a way to start each day. And today, I thought about how terribly fun it is to be a skeleton! I can hardly count the things I like about it. →  You can take off your head! Yes! Very useful for a quick fright. Or to be sure the back of my skull is properly polished. →  You're so scary! Why thank you! That is my most cultivated skill. →  You're so agile! I am! Part of it is practice, but part of it comes from being so light. Luckily, I don't bear the burden of muscles or organs.

You seem kinda bored...

PLAYER, tell me... Have you ever felt yourself wearily stuck in the same routine? Where everything seems dull and repetitive? What do you do? →  I change things up! Of course! Sometimes you need something new, don't you? To give novel ideas and a fresh perspective! Though... ah... it is good to be prudent about what new things you take on. →  I focus on what I like in my routine. That's wise. Sally would say that as well. One mustn't forget the value of all we already have in our life. Or in our undeath! →  That's never happened to me. Really? How content you must be.

• You seem preoccupied.

You seem preoccupied.

Player, I'm sure you've heard that I once tried my hand at running Christmas. Alas, it was quite the disaster. I made so many mistakes, but I'm wondering if there was one fundamental flaw... A central confusion. A care to all the calamity. →  Maybe you didn't really understand Christmas. I think you're right. But oh how I wanted to! Oh how I tried to! My longing was so intense that I convinced myself I understood it. Yes. I believe that was the root of my foolishness. →  Maybe you let your excitement run away from you. I certainly did. Enthusiasm is quite powerful. And usually it's good! It animates my frights! Keeps me inspired. But it can sometimes... have a life of its own. →  I don't know enough to say. XXXXXX player Does that mean you've learned your lesson? Of course. Hmm... but say I hadn't learned my lesson. Would that SCARE you? →  Yes! Well, then perhaps... I've learned nothing at all! Ha-ha-ha! →  No. I see... I'll have to take that into consideration when designing future frights for you. →  I'm not going to answer that. XXXXXX

What's going on, Jack?

Player, my search for new Halloween fright-makers continues! Do you have any new suggestions for me? →  Stitch! Ah, yes! I've had my eye on that creature for quite some time. I'm sure he could craft some marvelous jump scares! player A chance to pursue mischief without raising his badness level? player I'm sure Stitch would love it! →  Scar would be great. Now that cat has real potential to be terrifying! If only he weren't so cruel about it... Halloween is about scaring people, not hurting their feelings! →  What about Remy? TODOResponseToAnswerRemy

Observed Conversations

With Sally

Sally! Dearest! Oh Jack, I missed you so much. And I you! My heart was emptier than a carved pumpkin. But I'm back now. I hope we can spend some time together. Don't you worry. I have so much to show you! That sounds wonderful.
