Our man Jack is king of the pumpkin patch, everyone hail to the pumpkin king! Now, This is Halloween, this is Halloween! Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween! |
This is the tale of their clash.
Parties Involved
- Halloweeners are naturally central in this conflict, being the prize both Nightmare and the usurper fight over. Control of this gang is what both desire because it's a motif both can deeply relate to.
- Pump King Jack is the nascent Spirit of Man borne of a Nightmare-type Shadow Spirit of the same name, responsible for the rebellion of Halloweeners in Sophocles during late 2081 and early 2082. He also nicknamed the group "Starscreamers."
- Nightmare has been the leader of the Halloweeners for years already and is dead set on that remaining the case for many more years to come.
