(Trust me, it’s not that good but probably the most passionate one I’ve done XD)

Jackal smirked.
“Sounds like someone’s been through many weird experiences” he smiled under the terrifying pumpkin on his head.

(Altrince, I'm gonna fight with you on this. I'm going to compliment you, you can't stop it, they're on their way)

"Yeah." Hinata put her hands on the back of her head.
"There's some really weird stuff in the multiverse."

(No please!! I don’t think I can handle them!! ;-; [That is the most threatening way I’ve ever been cheered up lol])

Jackal nodded.
“I’ve been there, I understand that. Oh right, since you’ve probably been to Earth at least once or twice… uh… what’s Halloween…?” He asked with a shaking voice.
“Whenever I’ve been there, I’m usually called ‘The Weird Halloween Dude’ by the locals…”

(Too late! If your art is as good as your writing, it's better than the fricking Mona Lisa! [Thank you I do my best XD])
"Well…" Hinata thought for a moment.
"Basically, it's a celebration of the supernatural. Something commonly associated with it is dressing up as your favorite figure in folklore, pop culture, or really anything. Something commonly associated with the holiday is Jack o Lanterns."

(That’s an overstatement)
[Okay, this is the most threatening way I’ve ever been complimented XD, thank you but I would honestly say that it’s not true lol]

Jackal coughed.
“Makes sense why they called me that…” he laughed at himself.
They arrived in front of the Garden. Jackal opened the gates and lead Hinata inside. He went over to the bed of roses and picked up one of them. When he did, both he and Hinata were teleported to a house.
“Greetings Julian Harkin” Jackal waved to one of the figures in the house.
“Long time no see Jackal and… Hinata… I think it was?” He said, turning to Hinata.
Another figure was sipping tea on the comfortable looking couch in the room.

(You know, when you described Jackal and Alan, my mind immediately jumped to Halloween. Though I doubt I would call Jackal that.)

(Who wouldn’t? One had a pumpkin for a head and another had a bloody set of teeth as a neck and his face covered XD)

"Yes." Hinata put her hands in her pockets.

Jackal turned to the other figure.
“And you are…?” He questioned the relaxed figure.
They set the cup down, stood up and bowed with his left hand up front and his right behind him.
“Mathias Fluke of the Eighth Generation, the host of Earthquake Creator, sir Jackal” the figure introduced himself with a mocking voice when he said the pumpkin head’s name.

Jackal cursed under his breath at Mathias’ tone of speech and turned back to Viscount Harkin.
“You’ve got spare rooms upstairs right?” Jackal asked.
“Second floor and third floor are all empty, go ahead, they’re all unlocked” the viscount claimed with a smile.
“Well, you heard him…” Jackal turned back to Hinata and yawned.

Hinata bowed slightly to Matthias after he spoke, more out of habit than anything else. She didn't like the tone he had used, but now was not the time.
"Thank you for your hospitality," She said to Julian. Finally, when Jackal turned to her and spoke, she nodded, moving to head to the second floor.

As Hinata was going upstairs, Jackal asked Julian something quite… illogical at the time.
“You’ve got coffee and energy drinks right…?” Jackal asked, walking over to the fridge.
“Yeah, but why do you want them now?” Julian didn’t understand the pumpkin head’s thought process.
“I have to surprise someone tomorrow…” Jackal said in a soft tone. “Someone’s turning 32 tomorrow…”

Hinata quietly made her way upstairs, barely hearing the conversation. Of course, she filed it away nonetheless.

There were three rooms on the second floor. This gave the same vibe as Matthew’s house, being as clean but sadly not as bright.

Tolkalee shifted slightly. "We can't wait here all day, either we find a way to sneak past them and avoid confrontation, or we go out there and meet them head on."

Hinata moved to the closest door, turning the knob.

Dakota thought about it for a little.
“Screw it…” he walked up.
“Hey, who are you and what are you doing?” Dakota shouted at the figures.
The figure turned towards Dakota and revealed something… not so beautiful. The figure’s face was disfigured and seemed to be melting away.
“What the hell?!” Dakota jumped at the figure’s appearance.

The room Hinata went into had antique wooden furniture around. The bed in that room was a single bed with comfortable looking blankets and a soft pillow. There was a lightbulb in that room and a small lamp beside the bed.

Hinata sat down on the bed, actually taking her shoes off. She wiggled her toes.
"I'm getting too old," she mumbled.

Seth and Tolkalee had the same reaction to the figure. "Oh…" they didn't look particularly shocked though. Just sort of like they'd seen it before.

Jackal soon came upstairs and knocked on Hinata’s room. He opened the door.
“Here’s a souvenir from Julian…” he claimed, setting something down on the bedside drawer. It was a keychain of the chibi version of Julian himself.
(Take that thought in for a second… a chibi version of a man who is half a man, half nature creature… just think about it…)

The figure in the Arena tilted their head when they saw Dakota’s and the Warriors’ reactions. They touched their face and realized that their ability was active on its own. They scooped up the melting parts of their face and reformed it. They shook their head violently. When they looked up again, they finally looked like human.
“My apologies…” he laughed a little. His smile was sincere.

(Oh)
(My)
(GAWD)
(I want one)

Hinata laughed sweetly when she saw the keychain.
"That's honestly adorable."

Jackal placed another one of the same design on the drawer.
“Sebastian informed us that you have a family so… here’s another one for someone back at home” he smiled, no longer having the scary pumpkin on his head.

Hinata smiled back.
"I'm sure my husband will just love getting a keychain of another man."

Jackal laughed a little at that thought.
“Sebastian told me you have a sister, do you not?” He asked, still with a slight laugh.

"Yes, a twin." Hinata smiled, thinking of Michi.

Tolkalee waved. "Hello."
"Good day to you sir, my name is Seth Dentialgo, Wild Warrior of the North. This is my friend Tolkalee Sylali, General of the Wild Warriors. May I ask what we may call you?" Seth called to the figure in the arena.

Jackal nodded.
“I guess you can give this one to her, though explaining its significance might be hard” he laughed.

The figure in the Arena smiled.
“You can call be Porsche Delta, I am one of the representatives of the Eighth Generation and the host of Poison Mud” he bowed slightly once.
