“Why wouldn’t you be able to drown? You’re not merfolk, are you?” The second question came out more as an accusation than anything else. Despite her own use of the gifts her mother’s blood had given her, her father’s stories had made her wary of her fellow children of the sea. “Well?”

“There’s things out there that can breath underwater that don’t come from the ocean,” he mused, giving no further answer. It was no secret that he came from Halloween Town and aside from his ability, he would have been an odd one anyways. Which explained why he rarely gave a straight answer to anything.

How is it drinking with Harry knowing he's probably fucking the girl you love?

      “ Just because I love her, doesn’t mean I get to monopolize her. She’s not mine and she never will be.”

Maleficent smiled, there was something here in this ghostly child, “Feeling homesick?” She wondered. She knew well enough that there was something wrong with him, his substance problems were no secret. “Or is it a girl?” His feelings for the ice princess were no secret either. She knew this form could be deceiving, was it enough to begin to sow some seeds of chaos?

“Are you some kind of mind reader?” He joked before shaking his head. “None --- all of the above.” Chuckling, he took another sip from his bottle, beginning to think of home. If he went back and let go of this human body, he would be free from it all. It would be too easy and that was why Salem refused to return home. “Oh, but it’s so much more too,” he admitted, wondering why he was making things so hard on himself again.

“Me!” She said gleefully as she stood in front of him. Not a smart thing to do considering here she was walking alone at night in the woods but she knows nothing would dare to hurt her.  She can tell he was on something by the grin on his face. “I’ve heard stories about that place, very interesting stories, that makes me wish I could have the chance to visit one day.” Irey remembered hearing things from Lock, Shock, and Barrel when they talked about Halloween Town and it just made her want to go badly. 

His eyes followed her movements, easily able to keep track of her in the dark. Maybe it was a Halloween Town thing since they lived in grey days and dim light all the time. “It’s the best place. I’m going to go back someday for good.” Someday when he could figure out his mess and get his life cleaned up.

( 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 !

"How'd you get this?" salem & adelaine!

      The male shrugged, taking another drag from his cigarette. “Could’ve been a fall, an accidentally broken bottle --- wait, no. It had to be the time I totally failed at this party trick I was trying to do.”
