in which his world is a sort of a spoiler?

[countenance]

Now dear, you are getting ahead of yourself, aren't you?

Let us start at the very top of this idea you've concocted. I am of course flattered that you believe me to be the prince of which the good Doctor chose to refer, when addressing that dull dolt of a creature. Charming, was his name? What a cute name, one that says quite a bit about his world in comparison to ours.

The problem is, of course, that your only basis for this is your imagination. That and the fact that what you've seen of my world was in black and white. You do Mr. Bela Legosi proud by assuming that the Doctor's world is one of Halloween and horror classics, I am sure, but it's still quite a stretch indeed.

All of that said, why am I not King? Is this Jack Skellington really my superior? If this is a contest as to who is truly the most undead, then I suppose you're right, but I have much better things to do with my endless time than obey the laws of a skeleton and his rag doll.

Yours,

V. Dracula
Crowned prince of Halloween Land & Master of Blood Magic

that would be the best, though.

[reviver]

A skeleton.

[that is actually ridiculous.]

I've heard of no such man, nor tell of a rag doll. Your writer is mistaking our land for someplace else.

wouldn't it just?

[countenance]

One would hope. Though I would pay handsomely to see such a farce as that. A skeleton, with power over me, what a laugh that would be.

... Halloween Land?

[ Forgive Merlin a slightly disbelieving, slightly amused raise of the eyebrows. ]

And I suppose that's beyond Christmas Forest, is it?

[countenance]

It is a bit camp, but I don't make all the rules, boy. Maybe once the damn show has given something larger of my world to chew on a better name will come up.

[serving]

I'd pick a better name regardless, if I was you. I mean, no-one's going to take Halloween Land seriously, are they?

[countenance]

Perhaps, but I've heard tell that our nearest neighbors reside in places called the Enchanted Forest and Wonderland. You can imagine how seriously I take them.

this fuckin' guy.

[reanimation]

Too humbling a proposal, my liege? [ please follow the directional signs to his river of tears. ]

this fucking guy indeed.

[countenance]

Hardly humbling, more-so wildly insulting. I suppose you wouldn't understand unless that creature of yours were referred to by your name once again.

[portaljumper]

I'm just going to be over here.

Laughing.

A lot.

[countenance]

It's no wonder that queen of yours took your head. Would you care to explain what you find so amusing?

[portaljumper]

Oh that one. She wasn't my queen, now was she? Someone else's entirely. I may visit world, that doesn't make it mine.

You. Wasn't that obvious?

[countenance]

And yet it was still your head she took.

You may find that I do much worse when crossed, boy.

[portaljumper]

Yes yes, entirely intimidating. Quite the scare factor there.

Let's talk about the ragdoll, shall we?
