I think we need a good old fashioned ~~villain~~ game to liven it up a bit, don’t you?

Well I don’t know if a game will liven anything up, but you’re right. This place is boring..

Games liven up everything, little one. You just have to know which games to play.

Jim! Where have you been? I missed you

Did you try looking in the shadows, Princess? I told you before, I’m a shadow master so I live in them. The only person worth coming out for seems to be you.

I did not, my fear of them is ever-lingering it seems.

Now you are just flattering me

You need to overcome that, Princess. Shadows are a part of life. You even have your own shadow that follows you everywhere, do you not?

It is not flattery if it is true. You are my only friend in this place.

kida-atlantis:

Kida frowned a little, looking up at him, “And whose shadow did you live in for so long?” She tilted her head a little, looking at him and wondering just how far in the shadows he truly lived. Perhaps that was why she always felt a little nervous around him, no matter where they were or who else was around. Something always made her feel like she needed to prepare to fight or run. His next words made her look away and sigh, “You do not know the true magnitude of my shadows, Jim, if I were to embrace them I would be consumed and lost.” She shook her head, remembering how Hatter had said she had got her memories back once before and how they had changed her. If she were to truly embrace them who knew what would happen, if they were so bad her mind was blocking them from her. That was how the doctors had explained it, her memories were so traumatic, her brain had considered it safer to lock them away.

“My nightmares are my enemy, and they never tire, nor do they ever leave me be. So I must be always ready to attack.” Kida moved to sit down carefully on the grass, smoothing her skirts out as she sat. Though she had never worn long dresses like this before she met Meg she enjoyed the way they looked on her and felt to wear.

“He called himself the Master of Fright,” Jim replied with a small sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose, his eyes closing momentarily. He was feigning, of course, acting like the memories of the Master of Fright hurt him to think about. The only thing about Jack that hurt him was the fact he had unravelled him but alas, Jack’s plan had failed and he’d been reunited with his nemesis here in the asylum anyway. Except, Oogie had so many people Jack liked, or loved wrapped around his little finger. Well, two so far but they were the only ones that matter aka Archie and more importantly; Meg. The Grecian who swore she had no friends but the dice roller had managed to worm his way into her trust. “That’s the beauty of shadows, though, Princess,” he replied, a smile forming on his lips and his hand lowering. “There has to be a ray of light to make them visible, follow the ray and the shadows get weaker, they get blinded. There’s always a way out from them.”

“That’s because you try and discard them, resisting them doesn’t help. They’ll just try harder and harder until they break you. You have to survive them, that’s the key,” he replied. Truth be told, Oogie had never had nightmares in his life. He was the provider of nightmares, even to those who lived in Halloween Town. “That dress suits you, Princess,” he eyes sweeping over her in a casual way, literally just taking in her attire opposed to any other part of her, “compliments your eyes.”

kida-atlantis:

Kida paused, looking into his eyes for a clue as to whether he was serious or playing with her. Although his body language seemed jovial and playful, something dark in his eyes made her thinking that perhaps he wasn’t joking and if he was a ‘master of shadows’ then what did that really mean? There had been sorcerers in Atlantis and magic but she didn’t understand what he meant. “How would you do that? Magic? The methods the doctors try to use on me?” She raised an eyebrow at him, something in his words making her defensive, her muscles tensing a little, almost unconsciously, making her ready if she needed to fight despite the way her body ached.

“We had neither moon nor sun, we were miles and miles and miles under ground and sea.” She looked up at the moon momentarily, and though she preferred the sun she had to admit that the moon held a certain beauty in it. “Perhaps sitting would be best yes…I did not realise I was as tired as I am. And I always told myself a warrior never tires before their enemy…”

Oogie shook his head slightly. He wouldn’t really call what he had magic and it certainly wasn’t the same methods the doctor’s used. “When you live in the shadow of someone great for long enough, you learn to use those shadows opposed to despising them,” he replied with a shrug of his shoulders. Oogie had always been feared, always been discarded. No-one in Halloweentown cared for him or anyone else for that matter because everyone was always so focused on Jack. The precious Pumpkin King who hated his title. “Embracing the shadows is the key opposed to running from them. If you embrace something, you can control it.”

Oogie frowned slightly at her choice of words and walked over to a fallen log before sitting upon it. “And are you near enemies right now?” He enquired, looking at her with a raised eyebrow. If she refused to tire before an enemy, did that make him her enemy? Did she feel the need to ensure she did not tire around him?

kida-atlantis:

Kida raised an eyebrow as his eyes seemed to change colour from yellow to their usual near-black, but they couldn’t have surely…. She smoothed her dress, laughing a little his reply, “If you find one, be sure to send him my way. I am tired of running from shadows and they cannot consume me or I will be lost.” She sighed, her frame sagging a little as exhausation went through her in waves. She couldn’t remember the last time she had slept properly, even with Hatter holding her tight she still could not escape the nightmares that plagued her.

Continuing to walk, her dress trailing along the grass behind her, Kida’s steps were slow and a little unsteady, but almost determined as she breathed in the cool night air and gave a soft sigh, “When I was home, we did not have night or day. It had been 8000 years since I had last seen the sun when I was brought here. I try to see as much of it as I can now.” She brushed her hair over her shoulder, looking over at him for a moment,

Oogie let out a chuckle and shrugged his shoulders slightly. “What if I told you I was one, Princess?” He asked with a playful smirk, pretending not to be serious when deep down he was actual what he was feigning not to be. “Would you let me get rid of the shadows for you?” He asked, testing the words. He knew Kida had a warrior’s defence mechanism and so he knew to be wary but he knew how to defend himself better than he let on. After all, he could become a shadow without even a thought or hesitation. He was lucky he’d been able to keep his mastered skills even in his human body.

He took a few quickened steps so he was able to catch up and be walking beside her, his arms linking behind his back as they walked. “8000 years? That’s an awful long time. I may prefer the dark but I do like the sunshine on occasion,” he admitted, “but the moon gets its light from the Sun, so either way, we still see the sun’s bright light.” He noticed how tired she was and a slight frown formed upon his face. “Princess, would you not prefer to sit down? You look awfully tired.”

kida-atlantis:

Having been trained to be a warrior and a hunter, Kida sensed Oogie’s presence before he spoke, no matter how silent his movements had been. She did not recognise who it was though and quickly moved into a crouch, ready to attack or run if she needed to. However as she realised who it was she moved out her crouch and closer to him, giving a slight, weary smile, “My mind will not allow me to sleep so I came here hoping nature would be kind enough to chase the shadows away.” Quickly and easily, Kida slid out the tree, landing cat like in a crouch then straightening up, tilting her head a little. There was something about Jim that seemed so different in the night but she could not put her finger on it,

“What of you? Why are you not far away and dreaming?” She asked, taking a step toward him, her light dress trailing on the grass and it and her hair catching the slight breeze. She would look almost ghostlike against the darkness of the grounds. Keeping her eyes on his for a moment, she frowned a little then took a few steps away, meaning to walk for a bit, as it always helped her clear her head when nightmares came to her.

Once she’d recognised him, his yellow eyes shifted back into their usual darkness that matched the shadows and velvet sky of the night. Her weariness was commendable, he knew better than anyone that people should worry about things in the night and fear them but she appeared to hold no fear. He listened and watched as she moved out of the tree, his head tilting to the side slightly as he gazed at her; noting how her dress flowed and was much more feminine than the scraps of material she’d been wearing when they’d first encountered one another. “Nature casts its own shadows, Princess, it is a Shadow Master that you need,” he replied with a friendly smile. He was just that, a Shadow Master but she needn’t know that.

“I prefer the night to the day,” he responded with a hearty shrug of his shoulders, following her as she stepped away in order to walk alongside her, “and I don’t sleep often or for long anyway.” After all, he was as old as time and a monster. He didn’t really need sleep in order to survive, he got his energy from darkness, from fear and screams that there was plenty of that to feed off on in the asylum.
