[quickattackjack]

_{[HELLO, JOHTO. HAVE A SCREEN FULL OF JACK FACE. It's the turn of the month and somebody is excited about it.]}

Hello, everyone! It's Ok-toh-bah! I know some of you have to have Halloween where you're from!


Tell me what you do there! I'd love to get some new ideas to take home with me if-- You know. Anyhow!

_{[ALMOST let the sad come through. ALMOST. NO. Jack will fight his homesickness with spreading Halloween to every living breathing thing he comes in contact with this month.]}


------------------ACTION------------------------

_{[Anyone in the Breeding household will notice Jack rushing around with a notebook tucked under one arm, writing down locations and ideas for decorations to put up. >8U MUST. DECORATE. ALL THE THINGS. He may accidentally trip over a soul or two.]}

Exactly what will we be doing? We don't have Halloween in my world and all I know about Halloween is that people give candy away.

Halloween? ... I've never heard of it. Is it another holiday, like Easter?

_{[Th-this poor girl adsfdsff okay play it cool, Jack. Just explain it calmly. Be chill.]}

It's only the best time of year!

_{[...that doesn't tell her much, Jack. He opens his mouth to bestow upon her the AWESOME THAT IS HALLOWEEN and...realizes he doesn't know what to say. He stays silent for a long minute.]}

Well, everyone celebrates fall and the edges of the living world and the world of the dead blur a bit so everyone can visit! It's very exciting. Humans like to dress up and there are feasts and--

Mostly back home it's just decorating and lots of pumpkin flavored candies and deserts! And horror movie marathons! [[though that was mostly just him...]] Though I hear in America its a much bigger thing! And there's a lot of countries where it's the day where the veil between the worlds is thinnest and you can contact the spirits of the dead, though I've never had much luck with that...

[quickattackjack]

That sounds great! Where I'm from, it's all of those things at once. It's wonderful.

[ Just going to....watch Jack for a minute, trying to figure out what he's doing, before giving up and deciding to ask. ]

What are you taking notes about? Looks pretty important.

_{[Jack doesn't respond at first. He's too busy sketching what's supposed to be a Gengar over the door facing diagram he's made.]}

Hummm? Oh! Preparing for Halloween. It is important.

What's Halloween? [so cheerful about his missing information!]

[video]

[quickattackjack]

It's a holiday! It's also the best holiday!

[darkenedgales]

Kids go around in costumes asking for treats, there are pumpkins on sale everywhere, horror movies air on TV... y'know, the usual stuff!

[video]

[quickattackjack]

Nothing wrong with the classics! It's good to hear from you again.

We have Halloween where I'm from. Different places celebrate in different ways, but I think the most universal tradition are jack-o-lanterns and the kids dressing up and going door to door to get free candy and treats. A lot of people like to have costume parties, or visit haunted houses too,

That sounds like my Halloween! What are you going to do this year?

Ye-ees?

The first Halloween at the Enrichment Center was celebrated by dyeing the walls of the test chambers orange. We also stopped cleaning up the bloodstains between rounds of testing. You know... for atmosphere.

[voice]

[quickattackjack]

_{[Jack finds the combination of voice and text unusual but grins at the news. That DID sound like a good way to celebrate Halloween!]}

What sorts of tests?

This'll be my first Halloween. It's a sad story to know that my wife won't be here to share it with our family. [He's starting to realize that she probably isn't coming for him. He doesn't want to think that the possibility is that she starved to death... So his mind tracks onto happier thoughts.]

I'd like to have a party for my children, Jack, bu~t I don't know how to hold a Halloween party... Think you could help? [Yes he knows what Halloween is- kids love it, he needs to know- but it's never come up, so once again he's stuck for details. And from what the Other Father can pick up from Jack's excitement, he thinks he's speaking to the right guy.]

[Video]

[quickattackjack]

Hey there, Father!

_{[That was still taking some getting used to. Oh, well! He's glad to help. The man grins excitedly and tries to think.]}

From what I've seen in the human world, Halloween parties are different depending on the age of the people attending it. How old are they?

Jack-san?

[quickattackjack]

_{[He's not trying to be rude, but his reply is a bit delayed. Yosuke is totally standing there...he'd make a good table. Jack places his notebook atop his head just long enough to push the curtains he'd been looking at aside and get a better look at the curtain rod. This clearly takes two hands.]}

Yes?

Hey! What're you writing?

[quickattackjack]

Halloween preperations...Oh!

_{[Jack suddenly realizes who he's talking to and whirls around, placing both hands on Merlin's shoulders. He glances around and lowers his voice.]}

Merlin. I have the most brilliant idea.
