Character Entry #11.
Name: Alton the Invisible Man.
Favorite I-Scream Flavor: Cherry Coke Cobbler.
Likes: Mixing his secret formulas for creating more invisibility liquid or his own brand of cola-based sodas.
Dislikes: Becoming visible so as to narrowly escape another experiment gone wrong.
*Scaring Talent: Dissolving Disappearance.

Appearance:
Alton for some reason resembles that hapless meepster befouled by the bumbling scientist's forrays into inventing new questionably helpful technological advancements. Alton is a scohsh taller than the Cont, on account of his cylinrically shaped frame. Transparent ghostly gray skin covers his entire body, thus conveying his etherial invisibilized self. He has subtly orange-reddened carrot cropped hair, the faintest bit of color peeking out beneath his chapeau. His eyes, lightly grayishly pupiled, feel like horizontally elliptically peeled grapes. His nose is more cylindrically ovaled, but has the same darker ghostly grayed tone. A large lower lip covers his mouth, only allowing a semicircular slit and a clear dangling uvula to be noticed when he speaks his meep-speach. Two small rounded ears frame the sides of his tubelike head,tufts of hair poised above. Stretched limbs end in four-digit hands and feet, palpable within his suit of clothes. His wardrobe consists of a buttoned white shirt, smoky black dress pants held in place by a squared silver buckled black belt, two white socks bound by two gray bands each, and a pair of polished black saddle shoes tied by grayed laces. A cherry red necktie drapes downwards upon his chest, its top and the shirt's collar left uncovered by a blackened grayish coat similar to that worn by the Count. Lastly, a black derby hat ringed by a ghostly gray hatband rests atop his head, seen almost floating in the air.

Backstory:
One of the big stars of monsterdom, Alton inherited his chemistry knowhow from his family's endeavors in the field of formulai forging. His claim to fame came when discovering the particular potion that rendered people invisible. An unfortunate side effect as it's first test subject is that it made him permanently so. True, he can become visible when he concentrates hard enough, but the fact remains he always returns to a non-seen state. Back in the old country, he made friends with another noted chemical mind, that of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. Their friendship lasted through the years, even if the latter did subject Alton to all manner of crazy hijinks in the name of scientific fulfillment. In order to relax, the invisible haunter took some time to develop his own brand of soothing sodas. Other haunters in the castle like to partake in his prepared potions from time to time, especially the Batty Brew black cherry or lemon-lime Figgy Fizz.

Counting Scene:
Alton can be somewhat seen in the castle's Dungeon Lounge area, thanks to his customary clothing. He takes the first seat at the barside counter, immediately next to the slickened extended l-shaped counter's crook or elbow. Once he's served a cup of fizzing soda, he tips his hat in thanks to his patron and sips down the bubbling beverage. His drink changes from brown to red to gone as the foam gently tickles and tinges his tongue with a shortened instance of cola color. We also find a black 11 stamped on the stormy sphere hovering above the counter, floating in midair identical to the invisible man's hat and cupper, as he gets added to the Counting Castle's cast of souls.

Character Entry #12.
Name: Dockery.
Favorite I-Scream Flavor: O'Clock Choc Chip.
Likes: Ticking down the minutes until a looming dead-line arrives to claim its victim.
Dislikes: Whenever someone escapes their lotted doom by completing their tasks on time.
*Scaring Talent: Final Hour.

Appearance:
This haunter is taller and more imposing than most, at about the same height as Dr. Phil Van Neuter. Dockery's head and upper torso are one solid towerlike piece, made of massive circular-cut gray-blackened bricks. A crown of castillated notch-toothed stones rests atop his turreted head. There is a large luminously white clock face set squarely in the center of his towertop head, his own deadened gray-whitened skull face in the center of that. All of the clock's numbers, made of a rusted gray metal, are secured in their cardinal positions thanks to miniature ribbets, and a black hour and minute and second hand spin by, tipped with appropriately-sized spaded barbs. His skullface has two round black-pupiled eyes, two black triangular nostrils, and a mouth usually seen in an ominous sneering smile. His towertop head has two semicircularly thin pill-shaped nitches carved into its sides, functioning as his humanoid ears. Two completely circular keystone arches flank his main body, placed where his shoulders would be located. He has two long rusted gray metallic cylindrical tubes as his arms, and two more as his legs, all rimmed with rings of raised ribbeting. He has traditional four-digit Muppet hands, encased within two leathery black gauntlet gloves bound by an additional ring of keystones around the wrists. He also has a belt around what would be his waist, made of bronzed railings, connecting to form a sort of railway track belt. One last layer of bricks from his body slightly fans out beneath his belt, reminiscent of ancient castle ramparts. His robotic legs connect to a shorter pelvislike piece of piping, still moving like normal legs. He has two medieval blackened boots rreaching up to his knees, cinched in place by a vertical stack of whitened laces and pinned by two ankled rusted ribbets.

Backstory:
In ancient times, the tolling of the hours from a castled clock tower denoted how late it was and warned others of either the coming or passing doom. Because the Reaper was a busy emissary and could ill afford to miss any one of his important appointments, sorcery and science were wraught together to create this haunter. Dockery's imposing form comes both from the stone pillar and the ancient armor suited robotics, not to mention the clockwork machinery ticking away inside him. His face is most usually seen in a sort of sneering smile, as he intimates that those over whom he watches will fail to complete their assignations and fall prey to his brand of oblivion. Unfortunately, he was also charged with retrieving recalcitrant souls when their time ran out... Noone was truly safe from his ticking talents... But a deal was negotiated and Dockery functions much like a normal watch guard would, that sneer still etched on his frightful face.

Counting Scene:
Dockery takes his place perched on the outside windowsill of the rearmost lefthand tower. This, third of the ones upon the haunted home's rooftop landing, is named the Cloakery or C-Tower as it contains a clandestine cloister sheltering some of the shadowier spooks in the monstrous roster. The hands on his clockface steadily march onwards, tolling away the booming hours in honor of a new birth or death, the latter making his sinister smile broaden with smug satisfaction. That irrepressible thundercloud hovers aloft in the ample atmosphere, just out of reach to his right and bearing a black 12 this time, while the doomsday timer himself gets added to the Counting Castle's cast of souls.

*Disembodied gloved hand takes the soda from Squeaky for its master lying collapsed inside the coffin. BTW: Did you figure out the gruesome seasome twosome I hinted at in Dead Men? *Sleep-slurps soda through the straw as fizz bubbles bubble musically.
