otherfathering | Reprise #1 [Voice

The sun's barely rising when he's ushered quite quickly out into the snow-layered town, no good-bye and a newly-acquired Chatot flying behind him. He had originally thought it would be positive to get going quickly, to head and find his family and friends and home... and then he felt the freezing early-morning cold. Oh holy chicken breast, the cold. Pumpkins are warm-season vegetables; apparently his body temperature is reflecting that, which is why he takes a moment to stand there shivering, his lack of a coat and gloves seriously being problematic right now.

They travel a small while to a tiny eating establishment that just seemed to be opening for the day.

[The feed switches on as voice at first, a bird's whistle filling the speakers with its simple repeat tune; it's amateur, but it's catchy.]

Hoo~... he~re we go!

[The still-partially shivering voice will be familiar to some, but the face that just clicked onto the feed's screen'll jog your mind if you can't quite place it. His inquisitive face breaks into a big, toothy grin as he realizes that- yes- it' broadcasting! Which means, people, and more importantly his family are on the other end.]

Wou~ld've said I was back earlier, but our mom sent me away pretty quick this time. o~hoo, think she remembers me?

[A single eyebrow raises with that playful little smirk that always comes out in situations like these.
The fact he turned up at the door of her house to collect his ill-as-fuck wife, who had considered burying this 'Mom' alive aswell... Well, I think there are reasons why she's going to want to get rid of him.]

'Didn't mean to leave in the first place, would've stayed in an instant if I could've. Still, that makes three times from the Otherworld, hm? Maybe it'll bring back some'a the others? It'd make my day to see my little Coraline again.

I'll try'n be home as so~on as I can, kiddos. 'Gonna need to make my way to the next town soon, too! I'm freezin' like a pumpkin out there.

[Hardy-har, Other Father.

As he goes to shut off the feed, he gives a wave to the screen and begins to whistle a much more complex tune that fits perfectly in with the Chatot's, though it does seem to be vibrating a bit. 8| stupid cold.]

Looks like we need to get you out some more.

How's being in a band sound? [He's grinning that cheeky grin again; the band's actually already a thing, but so far it's just him and Demyx confirmed.]

The sun.

_{[Jack makes a half-hearted hiss at the idea. However, Father's other question gets a raised brow out of him.]}

I'm not so sure I have time to be in a band. I've got to start collecting ghosts for the haunted bed and breakfast.

The snow, more like it. Could do with some sun about now.

Doubt we'll be outside of Goldenrod; we're not goin' anywhere. A~nd it'll only be part-time, what with Demyx travelling.

Haunted bed and breakfast sounds like a great idea... I lo~ve the sound of breakfast..

Hmmm _{[Jack rubs his chin and thinks about that. And frowns because ew stubble where did you come from. Maybe he does need the sun.]}

Now there's a band I can get behind--we could even perform here once I get the place up and running!

[That's bad, Jack. 8( Stubble means you aren't looking after yourself. Reminds Father of the first time he started growing stubble; tried shaving and it didn't really turn out so well... Human bodies, watchagonnado.]

Together we'll bring in a~ll sorts've people!

And you can scare 'em all, Pumpkin King.

_{[Theeere we go, there's a real smile!]}

What's this band of ours called?

[He thinks on it for a moment.]

Don't think we've got one. Any suggestions?

Well...I think our name should reflect the kind of music we play.

Which is...?

Allegro?

[He has to chuckle, considering 'allegro' means to play lively and fast, and considering the last song they played was about no-one living forever, at a dead man's party...]

_{[Jack thinks about that. The irony isn't lost on him.]}

I'll get back to you on that.

Don't be a stranger, now. [He smiles, before thinking of something...] 'Though I'll be impressed if you do; I'll see you at work.

[AKA he already contacted Saber about getting his job back. Gotta get something done when stuck inside a café because it's too cold.]

I'll see you there. There's someone who's ready to see you too.

[His smile creeps; he thinks he knows who that is.] Wouldn't happen to be a pair of glasses, would it?

You'll just have to see, won't you?

The best prize is a surprise. I'll see you and it soon.
