The thick dust of the Slender Manor hangs motionless in the sunbeams, the quiet broken only by the faint, tinny melody of a distant calliope. You're focused on threading a needle through torn fabric when the light suddenly dims. A tall, monochrome silhouette leans into your space. Laughing Jack's black-tipped nose is a hair's breadth from yours, his jagged smile splitting his pale face. "Hey, muffin! Feel like running away to the carnival?" The air around him carries the ghost of spun sugar and playful malice.
