Elva sighed and wrapped her arms around Salem, letting her anger fade and just taking a moment to remind him that the only reason she was mad because she cared about him. “You’re right,” She said quietly, “I didn’t give you a choice, I was so worried about hurting you that I didn’t even think there was a choice.” She pulled away but kept a hand on his arm. “I’m not forcing you to do anything, Salem, but if you really care about me, you’ll…I don’t know…get it together.” She smiled slightly, “Starting with us being friends again, okay?”
The hug was a surprise and a reminder just how touch starved he had been, he craved the touch of someone that actually cared. “I do care but --- I need something to help me.” Something to help keep away the insanity of being able to commune with the dead. His arms had come up to circle around her waist but they fell just as soon as she pulled away. “Okay but ---” It felt like he was making excuses for everything these days. “Is that really okay? Even if I do fix my shit, it’s not going to happen overnight.”
the darkness takes us hostage and spits us out unmade. you try to put me back together but darling, some things cannot be saved.

“I’m sure there’s some other way to figure it out. As for priorities, I really think this should be a top one. What if you don’t come back the next time you die? Not even as a ghost?” It was a concept that sent a shiver running up her spine. “I’m fairly certain that possessing someone would be considered wrong. At least without consent to do so.”
“Then that’s it. That’s my end.” The words fall far too casually from his mouth and he continues smiling, truly having no worries. “Then don’t.” He shrugged. “Seems like you get hung up on details. Maybe just let it go,” he suggested with a small chuckle.

Wyatt watched the other male and smirked a little before his mask was removed from his face and they were now looking at each other. “I am here… good of you to notice… though I’m not too big of a fan of it here… I liked the isle… though it was good to seem where my mom used to live… you know it’s a museum now… stupid really… I mean I can walk straight in and used everything.” he admitted.
Salem nodded, thinking carefully since he now had the capacity to think before he spoke. “I don’t know about the Isle but Auradon’s... odd. In a not fun way,” he elaborated. Coming from Halloweentown, he had a rather warped perception of Auradon but he had grown used to it after awhile. “You should visit Halloweentown. It —- um I... you’re missed.”

FIND HER clinging to the wall ; as if floor lava and she too afraid to take a step CLOSER off the rug . “ not you ? what’s … what’s stopping you ? “ is the only thing elly’s caught , repeating after him in a certain kind of CONFUSION . and it’s this : doesn’t want to imagine him as something less than her expectations , chalk it up to some romanticized version of him in her head . “ i mean . YEAH . you made it worth it , i guess . don’t … don’t usually come to these things . “
his gaze drifted to the floor, head tilting to the side in contemplation. his addictions were known to everyone but his parents, how he was managing that was a miracle, but most wouldn’t care to ask about him unless they knew of his father. “ lots goin’ on up here, ” he tapped his temple, meeting her gaze once again. not a lie, not the full truth either. “ cool. i’m glad you came then. ” he flashed her a genuine, almost sweet smile.

“And you haven’t bothered to test it out? It seems like the sort of thing one ought to know about themselves.” Didn’t it? She believed so. “That’s…not the most detailed description, but I suppose I sort of understand what you mean.”
“How do I test that without dying all over again? It’s not a problem anyways so --- better priorities.” He shrugged, finished with the topic. “You possess someone and try to describe how it feels or don’t, I don’t care. i should ask fairy godmother if she could make this body taller,” he mused, losing track of the conversation entirely.

seriously? he was more than grateful that they were working towards being in a better place and that he had a chance at being in her life, but he wanted more. he had to take a chance but her obliviousness felt like i slap in the face. “i’m not high enough for this,” he muttered under his breath. “you really don’t get it, elva. i don’t just love you as a friend i’m... i’m in love with you. i don’t expect you to love me back in that way but come on, can’t you at least let me keep whatever pride i have left in tact by acknowledging me as a man.”

“ you don’t reckon we should change that ? ” head will tilt slightly to the right , fingers moving to tuck golden locks behind her ear . gaze will fall from his face , to the ground . she’s not one for getting excited about festival activities — but there were ways around that , certainly . “ i’m not so sure this kind of thing is my … style , but . being drunk would help ! ”
“ yeah, we --- wait, i can’t.” he stopped himself, internally patting himself on the back for resisting the temptation of alcohol. “ alright, well, i can’t get drunk but i can help you get drunk. i used to be pretty good at it, after all. ” he chuckled, waving down the bartender. “two -- no three white gummy bear shots.” he turned back to the princess. “these taste so good and totally go with spring vibe.”
( MAXENCE DANET-FAUVEL, 20, HE/HIM )┊ SALEM SKELLINGTON is the child of JACK & SALLY and they have THREE SIBLINGS. they seem to enjoy living in auradon. i’ve heard they’re known to be SINCERE + DEPENDENT. we’ll be keeping an eye on them to see how they’ll write their own story.
TW MENTIONS OF ADDICTION
the middle son of the pumpkin king
salem is pansexual and hyperactive af
he’s got very low and high moods due to the constant smoking and drinking he does
they are his unhealthy coping methods for dealing with the voices of the dead that constantly want to talk to him
in halloween town, he was a ghost and so as a normal human in auradon, he still has ties to the after life that let him (often unwillingly) speak with spirits
he found out that being under the influence helps keep the voice away because it weakens his mental capabilities and therefore weakens the connections
the spirits don’t scare him considering he was surrounded by all sorts of supernatural creatures in his home town but the spirits that linger behind and speak with him often had tragic or unexpected ends and take his mind down very dark roads
he keeps his ability a secret from his parents because he knows they would want him to learn how to use it when he would rather get rid of it all together
his siblings might be the only ones that know about his abilities, depending how close they are
but anyone that does know his secret, siblings included, expect him to be very clingy and constantly seeking them out for comfort
also since becoming human, he’s gotten tattoos that resemble his mother’s ragdoll stitches, they wrap around his arms, legs, throat, and even his chest (think simple black lines, nothing graphic). he’s very much a mama’s boy so he did them to honor her and because he could never get tattoos as a ghost. his mother did draw the line at getting them on his face when he told her about his idea.
his parents give him an allowance for rent but he does odd jobs here and there to earn cash for his unhealthy addictions but those addictions never allow him to keep a job for long
overall, he seems very happy and sometimes annoyingly immature but he’s a very genuine guy that uses a smile to mask a lot of pain.
WANTED CONNECTIONS/PLOTS
roommates;; could be someone he’s letting crash at his place for free since his parents pay his rent or someone that pays half the rent and he just pockets the extra cash
ex-friends;; a friendship that ended probably because they couldn’t cope with his wild ways and would rather leave than see him spiral out of control
exes;; most likely ended for similar reasons as above or they both could have been toxic partners and realized they were only dragging each other down
good influence;; he needs any good influence he can get or at least someone that’s willing to check on him once in awhile to make sure he’s alive
secret keeper;; somebody outside of his siblings that he’s trusted with his secret, the why can be plotted out
childhood friends;; bring him some friends from halloween town !
manipulator;; a vk or villain that found out about his ability and wants to use it for their own gain or they see how unstable he is and want to exploit that since he’s the son of jack skellington
unrequited crush;; somebody that he’s crushing on but either won’t let himself admit it because he knows he would be bad for them or they know but can’t return his feelings unless he’s willing to clean up his act
toxic friendship;; anyone with the same/similar bad habits as him
leave a like if you want to plot with him !
