39 days till Halloween [video]

[quickattackjack]

_{[At first it's hard to tell that the Pumpkin King is upside down. He's hanging off the common room sofa in the Breeding Centre with his legs draped over the back. A pokemon toddling by along the cushions is the only clue to his position.]}

You know, I've been wondering...just how many of you were dead before you arrived? I admit it's gotten a little lonely on the network. We dead folk must stick together!

[He can't help but chuckle at the upside-down-ness of the situation.]

Suppose I am. Last thing I remember was drowning.

[He's actually kind of alright with that, because he's here now and because it was for a good cause.

He also supposes it won't hurt to tell him that, since he knows a little bit anyway, and this really isn't the worst of it.]

[quickattackjack]

_{[Jack leans up a little, looking surprised.]}

You too? Terrible way to go, isn't it? I'm fairly sure I ended up with some sort of blunt head-trauma on my end but I can't remember. Hah!

[video]

[pinnedbangs]

[. . . There is a certain cool factor about a dead guy walking. It is only slightly outweighed by the dead part.]

I'm not dead. [JUST GONNA ESTABLISH THAT REAL QUICK.] ...But how long have you been dead?

[video]

[quickattackjack]

Hello, there! Oh, I don't know, it's been ages. Probably...er...

_{[Jack rubs his chin. Jesus he forgot.]}

Maybe for as long as Halloween has been around. It all tends to run together when you do the same thing every single year.

[Video]

[rooster_shout]

I'm not dead, Mr. Jack. But I died plenty of times before it really hurt.

[The eggs get in the way all the time.]

[Video]

[quickattackjack]

_{[Jack's brows raise. His snowball warrior friend must have been very tough to come back from the dead multiple times.]}

I'm sorry it hurt for you.

[video]

[meatysoviet]

... Dead?

[video]

[quickattackjack]

_{[PAINTBALL FRIEND.]}

Yes, do you know any dead people here?

video

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[He has to chuckle at that.]

Are we forming a group now?

[video]

[quickattackjack]

_{[Oooh, he knows that face! He's seen Harry in the background of some of Heather's videos.]}

I suppose we could, it couldn't hurt! I can't recall if we've spoken much before, I'm Jack.

video;

[arcanaeum]

...sort of.

[video]

[quickattackjack]

Sort of is close enough! It's nice to meet you.

[Video]

[francia]

You were dead?

[France didn't quite get past that first part.]

[Video]

[quickattackjack]

I was! It wasn't so bad. Being alive again took some getting used to, but I think after a year I've gotten the hang of it.

[Voice]

[metatrolled]

I didn't realise being dead gave you such privileges...

[We dead folk must stick together? You may have just given him a way to make allies. Little does he know that you're friends with Heather.

But goddamnit, he's found that everyone seems to be friends with Heather in this damned place. >:I]

[Voice]

[quickattackjack]

I don't know if I'd call them privileges. I was just curious. What about you?

[video]

[shadowdive]

I'm not dead, but I cease to exist in this form. [So, still technically dead-]

[video]

[quickattackjack]

That's an interesting state. Did you receive a new body?

text;

[tarotcards]

"Dead"?

[ Souji's feeling better than he has a week ago but still not that great so text for now!! ]

Re: text;

[quickattackjack]

Yes, you know, un-living. I hope it's not a strange thing to ask but we seem to have such a variety in Johto.

[video]

[darkenedgales]

Well, assuming we go back to the same point where we left off, whether I live or die will be decided within the next few hours from when I get back!

I like being alive, though.

[SO. CASUAL.]

[video]

[quickattackjack]

_{[CROW FRIEND. Jack looks a little troubled by that. Being dead was alright, but that terrible moment before it happens is never fun.]}

I wish you the best of luck.

_{{Especially since it didn't seem like there were ghosts in Crow's world.]}

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

[Oh hey it's Sandy Claws guy. Envy almost passes the post up, even if it does relate to him, but...'we dead people have to stick together' was something Nanao had told him, once.]

[...OKAY FINE, YOU GOT HIM.]

In a way, yeah.

[video]

[quickattackjack]

Hello! I remember you. Seems a lot of people were caught up in that inconvenient in-between. What happened to you?

_{[JACK YOU DON'T JUST ASK PEOPLE THAT.]}

[tinymoonkid]

[and there's the part he hasn't really wanted to think about...]

Who wants to know?

Re: Text

[quickattackjack]

Just another dead person.

[video]

[solas_ion]

[A laugh.]

Twice over, actually. Wonder if that makes a difference.

[video]

[quickattackjack]

I guess that makes you double dead!

[video]

[usedreturn]

Well, I wasn't dead before I got here. Very much alive, breathing, both hearts going fine and all that.

But it's something I'm familiar with. Quite familiar, very familiar with death and all that.

Re: [video]

[quickattackjack]

_{[Both hearts? Perhaps he was a monster of some sort...or a ressurected pieced-together thing before he arrived. 8I Interesting!]}

When something startles you, do both hearts speed up or only the one?

video;

[notakaijuu]

[ Here, have a wide-eyed Sakura. ]

You were dead? Does that mean you where a, um, a g-ghost?

[video]

[quickattackjack]

Not at all. I was a skeleton.

_{[Because that's better.]}

[video]

[used_fireblast]

.....

[Harry is side-eyeing this broadcast so hard. He hadn't assumed he was the only dead man walking in Johto, but this is the first time he's heard anyone be so cavalier about it.]

Pretty dead, yeah. Last I checked you don't get a whole lot of ghosts that aren't.

[video]

[quickattackjack]

A living ghost would be...interesting. _{[He boggles over what that would even look like.]} It's nice to meet you, I'm Jack!

[video]

[crimsondirge]

You were dead before you arrived?

Re: [video]

[quickattackjack]

I was. Though I might have been what you people call un-dead.

[VOICE]

[glaciates]

[Sorry for not replying with a video, but Isaac is a bit paranoid. That might be an understatement.]

You arrived here dead too, huh? How long have you been here?

[VOICE]

[quickattackjack]

Oh...a year and some change perhaps. What about you?

video;

[tensai]

[look at how scared he suddenly is.] Th-there are dead people here?!

Re: video;

[quickattackjack]

Of course there are! You're talking to one.

video;

[ex_cashcow493]

Well technically, I was dying but frozen in time until I could be properly summoned in the Holy Grail War.

[ Saber seems all too eager to admit this to him. Maybe she feels a tad bit guilty about their last interaction. ]

[video]

[quickattackjack]

Well that doesn't sound pleasant at all. I'm glad you're here with us.

_{[Jack rather liked being firmly on one side of the line or the other. Living or dead. So many unfortunate in-between people here. 8c]}

1/2 [video] || I TAGGED THE RIGHT PLACE THIS TIME

[conduit]

I'm dead! I'm dead! [ She is... excitedly waving her hands at her answer. Yep. The only person that's cheerful about death. ]

2/2

[conduit]

[ And then a serious question comes up. Just what does Jack mean by dead? Like. In the ground and never moving again dead? Or I'm dead but living in the afterlife dead? ]

Uh, just what do you mean by dead? Like... I'm living the afterlife. Does that mean I'm dead? [ ....Cause she does think she's dead. That's why she's in the afterlife, after all. ]

[notrueking]

That seems like a bit of a morbid thing to focus on.

[quickattackjack]

That's true, but I'm curious to see how many people here I have that in common with.

[Video]

[newbiehero]

You were dead before your arrival here? [o_0]

[Video]

[quickattackjack]

That I was! Were you?

[keychained]

Kinda.


.... I got better though.

[quickattackjack]

_{[A-aw this kid?]}

Well, I'm glad you got better!
