2 days till Halloween! [Video]

[quickattackjack]

[The camera is pointed at a road stretching into the distance. It's also right side up. This is an improvement! It's mid-morning. Jack can be heard wheezing lightly and the Poke'Gear wobbles just a little since he's leaned over with a hand on one knee.]

Good morning! What you're looking at is a day and a half of road! According to my map, we're a day and a half away from a place called Cherrygrove. And then, maybe a week from the tower. I'd like to thank everyone who gave me such helpful information! I owe each of you. Any and all hints on the whereabouts of a graveyard are still welcome! Let's see...

[Jack points the Poke'Gear to the road ahead.]

Path-- looks good. It's been kind of a lonely walk.

[The camera flips around to reveal an upside down Jack.]

Nose-- still busted. Anyone know how long these take to heal?

[The 'Gear is turned again to focus on Edgar who his hoping along side Jack. She croaks to him.]

Edgar-- actually a girl! I'm so sorry, Edgar!

... That depends on what you did to it...

... What DID you do to it?

_{... and why ARE you looking for a graveyard?}

[quickattackjack]

Hello, again! Thanks for telling me about the tower by the way.

A ledge introduced itself to me very enthusiastically. I was supplied a bandage at the building at the crossing between 46 and 29. They didn't seem too concerned. Of course they were busy laughing too. Hmf.

I'm looking for ghosts!

[foolishwren]

... Oh. Well... you're probably okay then.

... And OH. Well. If that's the case.

There's ghosts that come around sometimes just from route to route.

Only at night, though, I guess that's just how they roll.

Huh? Why a graveyard?

[Jack tries to mask a yawn with a wave. It's still early for him. He's a night person.]

You should've been here a week or so ago! Getting locked in that tower was enough ghost for me.

Re: [ video ]

[quickattackjack]

I would loved to have seen that! Not people getting trapped I mean--just the ghosts.

I don't think anyone's too keen on being trapped anywhere, ghosts or no ghosts.

You've got that right! But one of them's traveling with me now, so it wasn't a total waste!

[honor-first.livejournal.com]

[Well... this guy's a bit of an odd ball, isn't he? Have a rather uncertain but generally friendly look.]

Uh.

Hey, guy. You new in town?

[quickattackjack]

Hello!

It's...that obvious isn't it? I've been here for a few days.

[Jack tries desperately to forget the people in the Rout 46 building laughing when he said 'pok e mons']

[honor-first.livejournal.com]

Ahhh. I've been on the move to Cherrygrove. Sounds like you're havin'... a pretty rough time.

Gotta hang in there! How's your pokemon, eh?

[quickattackjack]

Cherrygrove, huh? Maybe we'll run into each other!

Edgar is fine. I don't think she'd holding anything against me for giving her the name of a dead poet who happens to be a man.

[honor-first.livejournal.com]

I, uh... I guess not. Some of them can't tell the difference.
If you need some help along the way, I can give you a hand. I used to deliver parcels between the Pokemon Center in Cherrygrove and the laboratory in New Bark. The area's pretty familiar.


[At least he's got good intentions. He thinks? Zack's gotta find Angeal in town, first... make sure he's alright...]

Oh yeah! I'm Zack Fair. You can call me Zack. Nice to meetcha!

[quickattackjack]

That'd be great!

[Jack looks thrilled with all the helpful people he's met latey]

Jack Skellington. Jack will do just fine!

ZACK AND JACK. BEST BFF DUO EVER.

[honor-first.livejournal.com]

[He settles in a bit, glad to have at least put the guy at ease.]

And, uh... hey. If ya end up catching anything ya don't want on the way, keep in touch! I'm looking to trade one of the little ones I've got on my team. She might be more helpful than me by the time we meet.

EVUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR

[quickattackjack]

I've only got Edgar at the moment. I heard what sounded like an owl last night and I think I'll try to catch one of those.

*___*

[honor-first.livejournal.com]

[Zack opens up his mouth to eagerly explain that the Pokemon Jack heard the previous night was a weird, oogle-eyed, unsettlingly creepy spherical owl. But he stops himself. Because he realizes that's... probably perfect for this guy.]

Oh, yeah. Uh... They're called 'Hoothoot'. They like to hang out around the trees at night... Isay go for it. They make... really, really ... good... companions?

[He doesn't sound so convinced at that last part. :| Zack and his Hoothoot have a love-hate relationship.]

(*dies forever at Zack's description of Hoothoot for it is lolworthy and totally accurate*)

[quickattackjack]

I'll keep my eyes peeled! Because I can do that now. Eyelids and all!

[Jack realizes exactly what he's just said and breaks into an enormous, dorky grin.]

Ahaha...uhm. Anyhow.
Stay clear of ledges!

FOR REAL THOUGH D8 he was utterly terrified of his hoothoot for the first, like, week.

[honor-first.livejournal.com]

[Have another... odd look.]

Thanks? You might wanna put some ice on that nose... That usually helps, I guess.

[brave-phantom.livejournal.com]

You didn't know Edgar was a girl?

[He's not trying to be smug, but he is a Breeder and is used to identifying Murkrow, at this point.

That, and he didn't know anyone named Edgar, so didn't know it was a male name...]

[quickattackjack]

Er-- well no. I'm afraid I don't know a lot about birds. My Poke'dex has helped me a lot though!

[Now that he actually knows how to use it...]

[brave-phantom.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, it's very useful! I'm surprised that such a feat isn't magical, but it seems like magic doesn't exist in this world.
