Voice Testing the Pumpkin King.

[cantakeoffmyhead]

What's this -- Why hello there, Mundane! 

That's an unusual name to call you. I like it! It sounds ... almost eerie. Isn't that nice? So! This is the  start of our journey together! I'm sure it'll be terrifying. No, that's not the word is it. Pleasant! Yes, I'm sure it will be pleasant. You've gotten a ... a 'game' arranged for me, you think. I'm  sure it will work perfectly. Now, no need to worry about voices, just a little rewatch of the charming movie will help.

Frightfully yours

Jack.

Frightfully? But that wasn't very scary! [She giggles.]

Kindly yours, wonderfully yours, even happily yours perhaps would be more fitting! You might be a skeleton but you're certainly the friendliest I've met!

[cantakeoffmyhead]

Well hello little girl! [Jack will just pat your head] Oh but frightfully is such a nice thing to wish on peoplle. Scares are what everyone looks for, don't you know?

[madcuriosity]

They are? [Color her curious, which, quite honestly, might be a problem for Jack.] People go looking for scares? I'd not thought that to be the case at all! I should think people stay far away from being scared!

[cantakeoffmyhead]

Nonsense! Why, a good scare is ... is almost as a good as ... [an idea forms in his head] Christmas!

[madcuriosity]

A good scare as good as Christmas. [She giggled.] I've never heard such a notion.

[cantakeoffmyhead]

Well, you need a further education, my dear! A good scare is very important to the system, you know.

[ryuuhime]

[ Oh my my my my. ]

Excuse me, Sir, but are you really a skeleton?

[cantakeoffmyhead]

[He ponders this for a moment, taking off his head and inspecting it before replacing it] Why yes! I am a skeleton. Jack Skellington, at your service.

[ryuuhime]

Oh! [ That's absolutely amazing! BUT! ] Did you wander from Yomi? Is that why you speak like those not of Yomi? [ One question at a time, Kosuiryo. ]

[cantakeoffmyhead]

Yomi? I'm afraid you have me confused, I'm from Halloweentown!

[ittybittyspace]

Sounds absolutely to die for, Bone Daddy. Have you any spooks in store? HA! What am I saying? When haven't you a good scare in you, huh? [wink wink nudge nudge]

[cantakeoffmyhead]

Spooks? Why always! What's life without a good scare!

[ittybittyspace]

Good old Jack: still all tricks and treats.

Where have your happy haunts led you this time?

[cantakeoffmyhead]

The mundane calls it a PSL. I'm going to teach

[ittybittyspace]

Something tells me that's no Monsters University... What do you intend to teach?

[never_asked]

...wow, you're like...the first talking skeleton I've met.

[Most dead people he meets are either incorporeal or zombies.]

[cantakeoffmyhead]

The first? Well, I'm delighted to be so!

[never_asked]

[Awkward laugh.]

You seem pretty ok with being dead, no offense.

[cantakeoffmyhead]

Well, why wouldn't I be? Being dead allows for so much flexibility! [To demonstrate, Jack takes off his head] And it's much less messy than being alive

[never_asked]

Yeah, unless you're talking about zombies. Those are messy. Especially the rotting ones.

[purrinpumpkin]

Mew! I've got the perfect place for a guy like you, nya~

[cantakeoffmyhead]

Oh? Do tell!

[purrinpumpkin]

It's a place called Death City. Sounds pretty cool, huh?

[cantakeoffmyhead]

Death City! What a glorious sounding place!

LOL, I love this.

[purrinpumpkin]

If you decide to come, I'll be sure to give you the royal treatment~

[And what's better than a black cat with pumpkin magic that can talk to be his host?]
