An idea, now did i? Merlin twirled his beard, bewildered. The old wizard patiently waited as Jack drabbled on his notepad, waiting to hear his brilliant plan.
Interesting monster you have there, he commented, as the skeleton proudly showed his drawing. But not quite what i had in mind.
Quasi listened to Panchito`s explanation of Halloween. Picnic on a grave? he echoed, finding it to be something the gypsy king Clopin could`ve made up.
He took a step closer to take a look at Jack`s drawing as well, agreeing in Merlin`s judgement of it. "interesting" was putting it mildly, actually. One thing was for sure; he`d never seen anything like it.

[Sorry for the major inactiveness, my computer got a really bad virus.]
"Hm." Jack muttered something to himself as he turned to observe his doodle. It did look putrid, horrible and scary, but it just seemed to be missing something. "It feels like something's missing..." He put his fingers up to his skull and pondered just what could be missing.

"It needs to be more colors."
Panchito answered without thinking, and hastily clamped a hand over his beak.
He hadn't wanted to draw Jack's attention to him. After all, he was still very much afraid of the walking skeleton, and very unwilling that anyone should see it.
But Panchito liked bright colors and lots of 'em. He thought Jack's funny drwing could certainly be improved by making it more colorful.

"Ooh!" A delightful grin spread across Jack's face, he looked down at Panchito.
"Mr. Panchito, exactly what colors do you think it have?" He inquired. "I'm thinking something along the lines of orange, black and then orange and black. Wait, no..." Jack shook his head. "That'll never work!"

"Well...orange is nice...but it needs rojo also, I think. And blue and yellow. And maybe some verde...green. Like this."
Panchito pulled out his colorful striped serape to show what he meant.

Jack pondered for a second, he pondered and pondered and pondered. At last, he spoke.
"Wouldn't adding more of those colors make it less scary?"
"I want to strike bone-chilling terror into the hearts of everyone! Not hurting anyone of course, but adding those colors seems somewhat like throwing it off of it's purpose. But then again, no one would expect those colors, so it might make them even more shocked!"
He clapped his bony hands together, a grin forming on his face.
"Mr. Panchito, you are a genius!"

"In my country, we have the holiday Día de los Muertos. On this day, many of los esqueletos wear bright colors, and still they are...as you say, very scary."
He didn't mention the fact that they are just people in skeleton costumes, not the real thing like Jack.
