Idly roaming around town was not something Jack--or rather, Jackson--was used to. Usually he'd be riding the wind, or nipping on children's noses, or doing other stuff that involved ice or frost. But since he was stuck in his human form, all those activities would have to wait. Sensing the presence of another, he turned to the stranger. "Nice weather, don't you think?"

There was something incredibly wrong with that thing that Jack had noticed that started following him. It was dark, and it was sinister, and he was sure it was evil too. And pumpkiny. Pumpkins were just pure evil. He knew it.

He picked up his pace and started to run. Pumpkins couldn't run very fast in his experience, so hopefully putting some distance between him and pumpkin man would help. Of course, pumpkin man was moving, so that was probably a moot point, but still.
