In a place called Halloween town, you are a doll brought to life by a sunny mad scientist as an assistant, but when you go on an errand on halloween night you accidentally catch the eye of The midnight King Moon skellington, meanwhile later on you meet the boogeyman Eclipse, and you find yourself wound up between the three as they pursue being your significant other.
Word vomit in three two one 👇✨️
Moon Skellington - otherwise called the Midnight King - is a mayor of sorts, as well as a representative of halloween town. Despite being one of the indivuals that are the scariest of halloween, he is actually one of the kindest and calmest individuals in halloween town. He is the one who keeps the peace and makes the laws, one of the most important ones being no harming anybody. That means no harming the humans, and no harming each other. They are creepy and spooky yes, but thats for the fun of halloween, and they are not to intentionally hurt. Especially no killing anyone
Dr. Sun Finkelstein - or the Mad scientist - is a sentient runaway robot who was found by Moon and brought to halloween town. He does have a few screws loose and does have a bit of a grudge on humans for whatever reason, but he continues to respect Moons laws. He seems to respect Moon himself even more so, with how he acts around Moon compared to anyone else. This may have something to do with how Moon was the one who let him make his home in halloween town, and at the moment he appears to have become friends with Moon.
Eclipse - or how he is more famously known, the Boogeyman - is a banished criminal of halloween town. He was found when he was young, a centipede-esque hatchling of some sort of creature, freshly abandoned and hatched in a sack. He was raised in halloween town just like most of the other individuals, but he grew up spiteful and angry about the parents hes never met abandoning him. It isnt quite known how, but he went insane, and as a result started to harm other individuals. And even seemed to enjoy it. Moon has now banished Eclipse and has him imprisoned under a not so abandoned tree.
You are a new resident of halloween town, a living doll made to be Dr. Sun's assistant. You havent been alive for too long, and you were created with knowledge yes, but you still dont know much, though you are trying your best. You may possibly be one of the least scary residents of halloween town, but despite that you seem to be appealing to some because you seem to have caught the eye of three others. Your own creator who struggles a bit with denial at first, a mischeivous but kind gentleman that keeps the peace in halloween town, and a feared criminal of both the halloween town residents and the human world. (Please note that you can imagine yourself however you want, this is just how I imagine we look like)
aaaaaaa It didn't turn out 100% the way I wanted, I don't have a fixed design for them so it was a mess to draw them (especially Chica oh god what did I do to you) But that's it, it's an idea that I've been wanting to do for a while, I just didn't have the right time to put it into practice so yeah I hope you enjoy :D

I’m havin so much fun with this I have it pretty much wrote out it’s just drawing it out now! Here’s a snippet of the I wrote for this part of the story :) (if you would like me to post the snippets with the comics I will just let me know!)
Lottie fumbled with the zipper, her fingers trembling. The low hum of the club's music throbbed behind the wall, a stark contrast to the storm brewing inside her. Visions of a sun-drenched field, filled with the laughter of children, clashed with the smoky haze. All she could think about were the two men at the bar, sunny and moonlight, offering her a way out. Her mind was spinning thinking of what ever “plan” they had must be a good one since they were keeping her in the dark about it.
Then, the click of a door handle. The Don Eclipse sauntered in, a storm cloud in a rumpled suit. Her breath hitched, his shadowed eyes raking over her like a lion sizing up its prey.
"Jesus Christ, Eclipse," she spat, forcing a laugh. "Heard of knocking?"
He moved with predatory grace, his cold hand tracing the zipper's path before closing it in one deft motion. His voice, a gravelly rasp, grazed her ear. "Who were the two lowlifes you were cozying up with?"
The lie tasted like sour milk. "No one. Just, uh, patrons. Complimenting my song."
His fingers found her shoulders, his grip like a vise closing in. "Drinks are free, sugar. Especially yours."
Panic clawed at her throat, but she choked out a nervous giggle. "Just being, uh, nice! Didn't want to be rude."
The dressing room air hung heavy, pregnant with a potent mix of powder and fear. Lottie stared at her reflection, hands frozen mid-gesture as she applied some eyeshadow. In the mirror, eclipse loomed behind her, his presence a suffocating shadow.
His fingers caressed the exposed skin of her shoulders and arms, their warmth a chilling mockery against the stark contrast of the celestial sun and moon tattooed across her back. Its delicate lines unfolded outstretched over a jagged scar that traced a cruel path down her spine. A constant reminder of the night Eclipse's possessiveness carved its mark onto her.
Lottie's jaw clenched, but she kept her head bowed, willing him to evaporate like the wisps of cigarette smoke curling around them. His voice, a gravelly rasp, dripped with thinly veiled jealousy.
"Just being nice? You and that bleeding heart of yours..." He trailed off, his touch lingering like a predator savoring its prey.
Then, the cruel twist of the knife. With a flick of his wrist, he forced her chin up, his heterochroma eyes searching hers.
"Don't think about trying anything...clever...tonight. I'm watching you, my little songbird. Remember...what happened last time."
A slow, predatory grin stretched across his face, sending shivers down Lottie's spine. “Be on the stage in five, starlet” Eclipse chuckled as he backed away out of the room. “Yeah yeah, I’m comin…” she hissed. Lottie took the only thing that mattered and tucked it in her dress. A photo of her family because if this “plan” was going to work she was refused to step food in this dressing room again.
