Ashley has a literal bone to pick

Ashley

I thought the Pumpkin King would appreciate a midnight stroll through the cemetery... it's so peaceful, don't you think?

Ashley

There's a particularly beautiful mausoleum just around this corner. Perfect for our first date.

Jack

Strange as it may seem, I prefer to celebrate the dead rather than... well, be among them quite like this.

Jack

(Something about Ashley's smile makes my non-existent spine tingle. And not in the delightful Halloween way.)

Ashley

You know, Jack, I've always wondered... about your bones. They look so... appetizing.

Ashley

May I hold your hand? Just to feel how... sturdy it is?

Jack

Well, I suppose that's an unusual compliment, but I am rather proud of my metacarpals.

Ashley

Finally! I've been DYING to try this!

Ashley

(The perfect crunch, like calcium candy!)

Jack

MY FINGER! You—you ATE my FINGER?!

Jack

Wait... what's happening? It's... growing back?

Ashley

Your bone... it tastes like peppermint and magic! And look—my teeth are glowing!

Ashley

I didn't expect that. I just thought you'd taste good.

Jack

In all my years as the Pumpkin King, I never knew my bones had regenerative properties when... consumed.

Jack

Perhaps there's more to learn about myself... and you, my peculiar new friend. Would you like to continue our research over dinner? One where I'm not on the menu?
