*Tim rests in one of the booths, watching the bar. He nods absenttly to those people he knows, including his boss.*

"Well, it wouldn't stop annoying us. Me and Shock and Lock. So I beat it with my arm. It kept spelling things, and then it wouldn't tell us who it wanted to get revenge on, so that was no fun. So we tried to catch it in our bag, and it wouldn't stay in our bag. And so we tried to smack it with our coals, and Shock made a water spout. But we got bored with it and left it."

*Tim stares a long icy moment.*

Uh...huh......

"It annoyed my friend Ed. I wanted to kill it. But it didn't die. I think its a demon. Do you think Van Helsing could kill it? He's a demon hunter."

A small thing is peering up a Tim. With creepy puppy dog eyes.

Death doesn't work often here. She likes taking a break.

*Tim stares at the thing, and shifts, it's own eyes staring back.*

"Death works here?" Barrel is very confused.

*Tim shakes his head.*

No, she parties here.

Even more confusion of the part of Barrel.

*Tim grins at the kid.*

Death is one of customers. She doesn't like to have to go on duy while here.

"I have to find her. Where is she? Could I meet her? I need to meet her."

*Tim forms an ice image of Death, pale and gothy.*

This is her.

"That? That's not Death. She's too human."
Barrel crosses his arms and frowns.

*Tim shrugs*

Thats how she looks to me. She may look different to you. But if she does, you'll know her.

"Well, I don't know, maybe she does look like that in your world. I've only seen her in drawings."

What does she look like in your drawings?

*Tim idly removes his frozen head.*

((ooc:Snicker)))

"Well, she's not exactly a girl. She's also not a boy. She's not anything. Just scary and cold."

Barrel reaches up to touch the head.

"I really wish I could do that." He frowns sadly.

*Tim shrugs*

One day, you will learn.

"Yeah, Jack said he'd show me. But only if I stop making Hallow cry. You know, its not like a try to make her cry. I try to make her laugh!"

Who's hallow?

*Tim doesn't remember that one.*

"Hallow is Jack and Sally's baby. She's a pumpkin."

*Tim stares.*

Huh.......

"Jack's a skeleton, Sally's a ragdoll, and they had a baby pumpkin named Hallow. Jack and Sally are the Pumpkin King and Queen. We had a coronation and everything. It was fun. The witches brewed frog's brain."

Ah.

*Tim nods.*

And he is going to teach you the head thing?

"Yes. He taught me how to take my arm and leg off, and I'm gonna learn how to take off my head before next Halloween. But I don't think he can do the fire thing that you can do. But he doesn't need to. He's scary enough." Barrel shudders.

Ah yes, King Skellington is quite the scary gentleman.

*Tim smirks.*

But few can keep up with me.

"Do you know Jack? Who was it we were talking to, he didn't know Jack. I can't remember who it is now. How do you know Jack?"

Barrel is curious now.

"What do you mean? Yes, the fire eyes and the ice is neat, but Jack's scary."
