Everybody's talking about Valentine's Day coming up...

[And Jimmy's confused as hell, which is clear from his expression.]

How is that even here? This is like some whole other planet, how come an Earth holiday is celebrated?

And there's other stuff, too. It took me a little bit to realize it, but there's lots of stuff that's pretty familiar. Not the same, but close, you know? You'd think there'd be all kinds of differences. Not that this place ain't weird, it's weird as hell, but... come on, you get what I mean.

[Or at least he hopes other people from Earth get it. He's still trying to come to terms with the fact that all of this is real, but he's reached a point where he can start paying close attention to this wacky world he's ended up in.]

Is that 'cause of us, all the people who get dumped here? Or was it always like this?

Strange, isn't it? I hadn't heard of any of the holidays celebrated here besides Halloween. Halloween was all we had back home until I tumbled headfirst into Christmas Tow!

....what?

[Jimmy doesn't even try at this point. None of that made any sense.]

[quickattackjack]

Forgive me! What I mean to say is, while many things are familiar, the holidays really threw me for a loop! I'm used to only sharing one with the human world. I discovered a second, and now that I'm here, there are enough to make my head spin.

[anexcitableboy]

Oh, okay. So you were from some other planet...that's knows about Earth...?

Anyway, not a big fan of Halloween, myself.

_{[....SURELY Jack just misheard him.]}

Not exactly...same planet, different world. It was our job to bring Halloween to the people the way Sandy Claws brings Christmas.

[anexcitableboy]

Planet, world, potato patahto, whatever.

...nobody brings holidays, they just happen 'cause people celebrate them.

[quickattackjack]

Perhaps, but we're the ones who supply all the skeletons, bats, cats, and vampires.

[anexcitableboy]

So...you run a...holiday supply company?

[quickattackjack]

No, no, no, we are the skeletons, bats, cats, and vampires.

[anexcitableboy]

....what?

[quickattackjack]

_{[Jack speaks more slowly, now used to explaining the whole deal.]}

Before I came here, I was what you'd call undead. A ghoul. A spook. I was a skeleton.
