This RP starts just after Jack returns to town after defeating Oogie. Jack and Sally have just had their kiss on Spiral Hill.

ok sally: does this mean...were togheter? jack: yeah i guess... sally: u know ur a great kisser jack: really? ive nevr kissed anyone b4 sally: really? just me? jack: ur my only one

What Jack and Sally did not know was that, just at that moment they were being watched. Curious as to what the two were up to, Phyllis had followed them. Bandersnatch, feeling a responsibility to his "caretaker"/friend went with her, and the two were now watching the love-birds from the safety of the woods. Bandersnatch: Yuuuuk! That's disgusting! Phyllis: You're only saying that because it's your sister. Bandersnatch: She is NOT my sister! We just happened to be created by the same freak with a God-complex. Phyllis: Hmm, don't let your sister hear you say that. Bandersnatch: She's NOT my SISTER! Phyllis: Sure, whatever. Bandersnatch: ... so uh, you've seen snow before, right? Phyllis: Yeah Bandersnatch: Is it, always this cold? *Phyllis laughs and dumps a handful of snow on her friends head* Bandersnatch: HEY! *suddenly, they hear a rustling in the bushes* Phyllis: *startled* Wuh? Who's there?!

*our of the bushes comes this pale looking girl* she has long black hair with red streaks in it. her cloths are ripped to nothing and shes staggering..she looks at them with eyes the color of the pale moon and says revealing her fangs* girl: help...me...need...blood...*she drops to the floor* *jack and sally dont notice because they are too enaptured with one another*

*Phyllis and Bandersnatch stood there in stunned silence. Luckily for the quickly fading vampire girl, the silence only lasted for a second before Phyllis dropped to her knees and offered up her own neck.* Bandersnatch: *pulls Phyllis back to her feet* What do you think you're doing?! Phyllis: Helping the poor little vampire girl! Bandersnatch: You know the rules! Phyllis: Okay pumpkin brains! You got any bright ideas hmm? Bandersnatch: Well, since I'm actually a resident of this town... she can have my blood. Phyllis: Your a scarecrow! You don't [i]have[/i] any blood! Bandersnatch: Then I'll catch her a bird or something. Phyllis: In case you can't tell brainless, it doesn't look like she has a lot of time, so if you don't mind- *proceeds to kneel on the ground again* Bandersnatch: *pulls her back up* What about Jack? Phyllis: What about [i]her[/i]? What about us? *Looks Bandersnatch in the eyes* You've said it yourself. It totally stinks that I have to leave here every day. Jack won't be mad at her, she [i]needs[/i] this. He won't be mad at you, just say you couldn't stop me. *takes Bandersnatch's head in her hands* Pleeeaase let me do this! Bandersnatch: *resigned* For the girl. *muttering* Jacks gonna kill me for this. *Phyllis, once again offers her neck to the vampire girl* Bandersnatch: So, uh, what's your name?

ok first let me offer a profile of the girl name: (ill metion it in a sec) gender: girl race: a vampire traits: shes very skinny...almost too skinny..but dont let that fool you..shes got enormous power that can destroy all the world. shes got eyes the color of the plae moon shes paper white and likes to dress in dark clothes. she has an outfit change everyday and ill explain each one right now her cloths are all ragged you couldnt tell the original design. she also wears this chocker with a red waxing cresent on it (if you dont kno ut that is i shall show u a pick* characteristics: shes so sweet and nice. she isnt afraid of anything but she is very perceptive and might notice things some people will miss. she also has very bad confidence issues tho she is strinkingly beatiful (id also like to kno your pros for the characters) backround: youll kno later mwahhaha vamp girl: my name...is...Katrax..but people call me...trax....*she lifts her head up and sinks her rasor sharp fangs into phyllis's neck*

[i]Katrax[/i] , thought Phyllis, [i]that's a nice name[/i]. Then she felt the vampires teeth piercing her neck. It hurt, but only for a second. [i]Like when I got my ears pierced[/i], she thought dreamily. She was begining to feel a bit detached and wondered if it were at all like being intoxicated and if she might end up with a hang-over afterward. She had never been drunk before. "If this is what it feels like to be intoxicated," she mumbled to herself, "I am never ever going to get drunk." Bandersnatch was a bit too curious to hear his friends words. Bandersnatch: Sooo, Traxie, if I may call you that, what are you doing here? Where do you come from? And what, pray tell, happened to rob you of so much energy? [i]I don't trust her[/i], he thought, [i]and if she hurts Phyllis... I will show her the true power of the sun[/i]! OoC: A little distrust. Looks like Katrax is going to have to prove herself to Bandersnatch. *grin*

Katrax extracted herself from phyllis. she turned to her and said in a calm voice. "i know your deepest wish, but unfortunatly i will not be the one to grant it. for the cursed life of the undead is something to never wish upon thy self. ((oh by the way her voice is like silk. she has a vwide vocaubulary and speeks as i said in a smooth livly tone)) she then turned to Bander (mind if i call him that?) "since you have been so keen as to help me i guess i am in your debt, though you didnt do much...as you can see i am come from a distant world called "Dilieruim" it is a place that used to live in peace. it was an all vampire colony...but then war raged...i wont speak of why...i knew i had to leave...so i used all of the power that i could use without blowing up my home to come to a place..far away from there...and i ended up in that pumpkin feild over yonder. she pointed to a feild filled with numerous pumpkins all with scary faces carved onto there bupy surfaces.

[i]Darn it[/i]! thought Phyllis [i]Really thought it was gonna happen this time. How bad could being a vampire be compare to what I have to go through at home?[/i] She felt the bite-mark on her neck and wondered how she'd explain [i]that[/i] to her parents, especially considering she didn't even have a boyfriend. "Welcome to Halloween town," she said finally, "I've never heard of "Dilieruim." Oh, and as for the debt thing, forget about it. I'd much rather that we be friends." Bandersnatch: I dunno, she kind of, owes u- *Phyllis stuffs a handful of snow into his mouth* Phyllis: Don't mind pumpkin brains here. He's usually nicer than this. Oh, that reminds me. *gestures to Bandersnatch* This is Bandersnatch, and I'm Phyllis. I don't actually live here either. I have to go back home at sunrise, but that's still like, five hours away, so until then Bandersnatch and I can show you around! *Bandersnatch spits the remaining snow out of his mouth* Bandersnatch: WHAT?! Phyllis: Show her around. Honestly Bandersnatch, what's with you? Are you still not over Sally kissing the Pumpkin King? Bandersnatch: *looking behind Phyllis* Speaking of which... Phyllis turned around to see a very unhappy Jack Skellington. His eyes first looking at the vampire girl and then shifting over to the bite-mark on Phyllis' neck. Phyllis: This, could be a problem.

Katrax: thank you! id love to be friends! she turned to were the surprised pumpkin king stood and she asked "and who might you be?"

Jack: I think I ought to be asking you the same question. Who are you? Phyllis: *before her new friend can speak* Her name is Katrax. She's from Deliruim, so it's not her fault! She didn't know! Jack: I'm sure Katrax can speak for herself Phyllis. Go back into town. I'll deal with you later. Jack looked at Katrax and raised an eyebrow. (or would have if he had eyebrows) Jack: Deliruim huh? Then what in the name of All Hallows Eve are you doing here?

Katrax looked at jack with a sort of curious look "well as pHyllis pointed out im not from here...and i dont need to answer to you as to why i came here....Deliruim is...a war torn place you might say..but i dont wish to speak of such tretchrous memories (cannot spell for my life)" "but if i may ask...who might you be...the other two seem to listen to you..what kind of athourity do you hold in this world? and a better question is...should i listen to you?"

Jacks eye sockets widened in surprise at the girls boldness. Then he drew himself up. "I'm Jack, the Pumpkin King," he said," I am in authority over all the residents of this world. Phyllis, I don't know if she mentioned this, doesn't actually live here, but since she is still alive, there are rules she must follow as well." "I asked about Deliruim because I have heard of this place. If you are uncomfortable about talking about it, that is fine. I was merely curious." "Now, if you would like, I can show you around town or, if you would prefer," he winked at Katrax, "I think that would be an adequate punishment for Phyllis and Bandersnatch."

"Now, if you would like, I can show you around town or, if you would prefer," he winked at Katrax, "I think that would be an adequate punishment for Phyllis and Bandersnatch."

Katrax smiled slightly. she was begging to like this tall,pale, and skinny skeleton. "My apologies Your Magesty, if i may ask can i stay at this world?" Jack smiled his famous Skeleton grin and chuckled and spread out this thin but long arms in a welcoming jesture "Of course! there's pleanty of room in my town!" "Oh and on your tour offer..now dont take this personally but i think i would be more at home with Phyllis and Bandy" Jack laughed at the bandy comment "hhaha you know he wont take much liking to your nick-name oyu know" Katrax only smiled and said "Perciesly" (again i cannot spell)

Phyllis sat down on the edge of the well and sighed heavily. "I hope he isn't hard on her," she said, "I mean, you know how Jack can be when he gets mad." "I don't trust her," said Bandersnatch, "I don't trust her one bit. She's supposed to be from this place... Delirium, or something like that right? Well, I've never heard of it, and why won't she talk about it, hmm?" Phyllis rolled her eyes at her friend. "Bandersnatch," she said, "you've only been alive for five months. You probably haven't heard of Rhode Island either." "What's Rhode Island?" "My point exactly... What's that?" They both heard it. Someone was crying. Curious, Phyllis and Bandersnatch walked to where the sound was coming from. They found Sally crouched behind a wall, crying her eyes out. "What's wrong?" asked Phyllis. "It's J-jack," she sobbed, "he said he n-needed t-to go take k-care of s-some-th-thing. I f-followed him a little while l-later. He was t-talking to an-nother g-girl, all a-l-lone. I th-think he h-hates me. But w-why? Am I a b-bad k-kisser?" Bandersnatch got an evil gleam in his eye. Phyllis knew what he was thinking. He may not have wanted to admit it, but he really did act like a younger brother sometimes. Phyllis shot him a look. "No," he said, glaring at Phyllis out of the corner of his eye, "He doesn't hate you. That was Katrax she's a fr... an acquaintance of ours. There's no way she's going to steal your new "boyfriend." "Oh Bandersnatch," said Sally, still sniffling slightly, "You're the best little brother a rag-doll could ever hope for!" She stood up and hugged Bandersnatch. "I'm not..." Another look from Phyllis. "...going to let anything happen to you," Bandersnatch said with a look of dismay. "Let's go see if they're back yet," suggested Phyllis. Sally Detached herself from Bandersnatch and ran off toward Guillotine Gate. "I'm sooo going to get you for that," Bandersnatch promised as they followed the rag-doll. "Ooooh, I'm so scared."

Katrax followed Jack to Guillotine Gate. she looked ahead and saw Phyllis and Bander waiting for her. Bander shot her a cold and icy glare but Phyllis looked at her with excitemtn bubbling in her eyes. Katrax knew that Phyllis was excited to have met her. A new friend. Katrax returned the glare to bander and smiled a weak smile at Phyllis Jack looked down at Phyllis and said through gritted teeth "When your done showing Katrax around i want a word with you...alone" when he said that final word he cast a glance at Bander that could only mean that he wont be joining them in their little heart-to-heart..that is..if jack had a heart "Yes Jack" said phyllis in a slightly annoyed tone. She then turned to katrax and asked with excitement in her face "Are you ready to go?" Katrax nodded and said rather plainly "After you"

OOC: You guys did say you needed more RPers, right? *smirks evilly* Lily finished sawing the board in half. Her rough hands covered in sawdust were beginning to blister again, but she didn't care. Lock: You should really take a break. Lily: Why? I'm not tired? *Continues to saw more boards, and nail others together* Lock: I don't understand you sometimes. Lily: *Sighs* If it's really important to you that I take a break, then ok. Lock: *smiles* Thank yoouu. Lily: *rolls eyes and grins* What ever. The two walk around townsquare, while watching Shock chase the amazingly fast Barrel for writing, "I nEeD tHeRaPy!1one" all over her hat. Lily looked at Guillotine Gate. "The egg has hatched, I repeat, the egg has hatched. Over." Lily said. Lock turned around also. They left Shock and Barrel to figure it out on their own. Lock: Wow. You haven't even been here nine months and you discovered a newcomer. I'm proud. Lily: *blushes* Thanks. C'mon, let's go meet her! Lock: Now it's my turn to be dragged around. *Laughs, and follows Lily*

((i think you are supposed to do thr RP in like story form..not trying to yell i jsut wanna tell ya)) Katrax looked at the people coming closer to her, Phyllis, and Bander. there was a little guy with a devil costume on and a devil mask on. there was a girl beside him too ((idk wut she looks like)) i turned to phyllis and asked "Who are those civilians?"

"Oh crap," said Bandersnatch, seeing Lock and Lily running towards them. [i]Why now[/i]? Wondered Phyllis [i]They always come at the worst times.[/i] She pasted on her best fake smile. "Hi guys," she said nervously, "I know you're probably still mad at me for ratting you out the other day but... uh, before we talk about that..." she ran behind Katrax, "I'd like you to meet my friend Katrax." She motioned to Lily and Lock. "Katrax, this is Lock and... the semi-new girl." [i]Please don't let them kill me[/i], she prayed silently. OoC: Yay for Jacksfangurl01!

Katrax heard this prayer and whisperd behind her "Kill you? Why would they kill you?" ((shes psycic)) i then looked at the crowed and looked them over. there was the devil. the girl. the witch. and the fat skeleton. hm they didnt pose much of a threat.

OOC: Dang, sorry! I just find it easier (idk why) to do it like that. Oh well :P * Lock's tail twitched. He remembered when Phyllis ratted them out. He shrugged it off. "In case you're wondering, I'm not going to send you to double-death." [i]Yet.[/i] He thought. Shock and Barrel stood behind him. "I'm Lily!" Lily stuck out her hand, which was slightly covered in sawdust, but she brushed it off. "Phyllis, s'long as I'm around, they can't do anything. Him especially." She added, pointing at Lock. "Hey!" He said. "Just kidding, geeze." Turning her attention back to Katrax, she said, "Welcome to Halloweentown!" * Here's Lily's appearance: Red hair, has natural small waves/curls. Small stitch from where a wound was healed. Green eyes, pale skin. Black tank top, baggy green jeans on Fridays with black army boots, and every other day wears a brown tank top with an army jacket over it coming just above her elbow and in the middle of her stomach with a light green skirt with baggy brown capris underneath with black army boots. Btw, she doesn't like to talk about how she died. The only people who know are Dr. Finklestein (when sewing up her fatal wound) and Lock (don't remember how that happened...)

Locks response relieved Phyllis tremendously. "You're forgetting Matchstick," she said, messing up the boy's hair, " I [i]can't[/i] be sent to [i]double-death[/i] because I'm still [i]alive[/i]" Matchstick was the name she used for Lock in teasing. She turned to see Bandersnatch glaring at the devil boy. If looks could kill... [i]Jealousy?[/i] thought Phyllis, [i] Ha! I wish.[/i] She wondered momentarily if Katrax could read minds and, hoping this wasn't the case, turned to Lily. "I was just kidding about the whole "semi-new girl thing Lily," she lied. She really did like the girl, it was just really hard for her to remember names sometimes. "Well, we were just about to take Traxie on a tour," said Bandersatch, who was in a great hurry to leave. "Wanna come?" asked Phyllis. Bandersnatch groaned. Wasn't having Traxie with them bad enough? Why did they have to come too? Especially Lock. It was obvious Phyllis liked him. [i]This is going to be a loo-oong day.[/i] OOC: BTW Phyllis doesn't really feel that way about Lock. Bandersnatch is just jealous and paranoid.

Katrax thought for a momemt (idk how to do the italics thing..it wont lemme click on it) hmm i think theres a little bit of emotion between phyllis ans bander..ill have to check into that "What is with that groan Bander? Don't you fancy having all of these girls around you i bet you like it alot..." i said this in a slight but almost impossible to detect joking tone. "I think it would be an honor to have some new friends to accompany us don't you agree Phyllis?"

Phyllis grinned broadly. "Yeeaahh Bandersnatch," she said sweetly, "Afraid of being shown up by a bunch of girls?" "No," Bandersnatch replied quickly, "I don't care. Why would I care? "Then you won't mind if we invite Shriek and Pillsbury as well." Once, when Phyllis was hanging out with Lock, Shock, and Barrel (Before Lily came) she accidentally sat on Shock's hat. Shocks reaction to this earned her the nickname Madame Shriek, which Phyllis later shortened to just Shriek. She called Barrel Pillsbury for obvious reasons. Another groan nearly escaped Bandersnatch's lips, but he caught himself just in time. "Sure," he said, "why not?" OOC: BTW, I didn't notice until much later that Shock and Barrel weren't there yet. I have edited accordingly. "Good," said Phyllis, smiling at Katrax. The more she knew about her, the more she liked her. "So how's about it?" she asked Lily.

i smiled back and turned to lily "yeah we will have bundles of fun!" i gave her a look clearly saying while-we-torture-bander look

Lily saw the look. ~Oh~, how fun it was to torture people. She was one of the most annoying people in Halloweentown when she really needed to be. "Yeah! I'll come!" Lock quickly fixed his bangs. "Hello?! Watch the bangs. And ~don't~ call me Matchstick!" He said. "It's Lock." "You're so cute...Matchstick!" Lily giggled hysterically and messed up Lock's bangs. "LILY!" He was clearly getting ticked now. His tail continued to twitch, but more of a j*** every time it did. He looked up. "Thanks a lot, Rudolph." This was a nickname Lily got. When she was embarrassed, or feeling a strong affect of an emotion, her cheeks were just rosy compared to her nose. It would go redder than Lock's outfit. Lily also hated that name. "MATCHSTICK!" Lily lunged for Lock, and made him trip. Seizing this opprotunity, she grabbed his tail and yanked it. Hard. [i]So much for torturing Bandy....[/i] She thought as Lock got ever so irritated.

katrax looked at the scene with an annoyed expression "Are we leaving no or what? Phyllis do we have time for these shinnagagins?" everyone gave her a look at could only mean "you're boring" but she was only kidding of course. she walked roght up to lock who was still fighting with lily. she raised her arm up and a that moment lock was floating in the air...upside down! "this i could have lots of amusment with" katrax said in a mischevious tone

Lily got up, leaving Shock and Barrel to lay doubled-over on the ground, laughing. "Thanks." She said. Brushing herself off, she walked right under Lock, and poked his head. No reason for it, just... it was just for fun. "Alright, alright! Fine... I'll stop. Just as long as nobody pulls my p... tail." Lock stated, with an irritated voice. Lily giggled. "What are ~you~ laughing at?" He asked. "You were about to say something before tail." "Yeah, so?" "I know what it was!" "Oh, really?" Lily nodded. "It's a name for your tail." Lock's eyes widened slightly. "You were about to say 'precious tail'." Lily laughed. Lock continued to struggle against the invisible strings holding him upside-down like a puppet. "I swear, Rudolph, when I get down from here.... Gah! Let me go!

Katrax smiled at the suspended Lock "Ah contrair monsior i think i like you better up there..and i think you can lived without you're precious tail...would you mind if i snipped it off?" she gave him a look the clearly said dont mess with me
