"Rise of the Nightmare King"
After the nightmare before christmas things in Halloween Town become chaotic. The Pumpkin King had clearly fallen into madness aided in his delusions by the creation called Sally. No one was certain of Jack's motives any more and soon it became clear he was no longer fit to rule. Another powerful King arose during this time calling himself the Nightmare King and he struggled against Jack at every turn finally imprisoning the Pumpkin King in the very graveyard where he first met Sally. Under the rule of the Nightmare King Halloween Town flourished into the most frightful place. Horrible things happened in the dark...such terrible awful things that Jack himself would have been scared of how his beloved home had changed. Gone were the friendly scares and monsters with no bite. The vampires became more sinister, often killing hand fulls of people every night. And the werewolves hunted the streets for unwary prey. This was the Halloween Town thatTwilly had known all of her existence. The graveyard was in an up roar as zombies were chased from their graves by the Nightmare King's vampires. Not that the vampires could feed off the zombies but it was just fun to watch the more dilapidated ones shambling as fast as they could across the graveyard. Twilly was in very good condition for a zombie. She still had all her limbs and eyes and could even run at a kind of slow pace if she tried hard enough but her companions were not so lucky as she. One in particular was holding the horde back and Twilly was doing her best to help him keep up. "Come on, you can do it just a little faster." she urged him but it was clearly no use he was missing a foot and half of one leg had been replaced with a tree branch. "I can't do it, Twilly, you have to leave me." "No, they will tare you up into pieces...we would never be able to put you back together. Just run a little faster." "I can't. Go ahead of me before they catch up. You know what happen to the zombies like you...they get sent to the Nightmare King or the vampires take them home...or..." Twilly shut his mouth knowing perfectly well the terrible things that would happen to a zombie in Halloween Town. Zombies weren't scary any more and because of their condition it was generally believed that zombies were brainless but it was rather hard to express intelligence without tongues or fingers. "I am not leaving you behind." she said calmly even though she could already hear the vampire's catching up. Very soon the creatures would be upon them and she shuddered to think what they might do. ((PM to continue. Please be something scary...I am not looking to be rescued by prince charming or anything this is a Halloween roleplay.))
