[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.]}

_{[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--

_{[BRB GESTURING LIKE CRAZY. WHERE TO START. WAT DO.]}

[ oh God Jack you just

you remind her of Taeo's dad so much

SO MUCH

She's just amused and smiling as she listens, and his excitement is pretty infectious. ]

We have something like that back home, at least with the line between the living and spirit worlds blurring. It happens on the Winter Solstice. We didn't get a chance to do anything for it last year, though, so I don't know if it's the same. It sounds exciting, though!

[quickattackjack]

Oh! That-- that's it! Same thing--mostly! Sort of! Yes!

_{[Breathe, Jack. You have lungs now, remember, use them.]}

Ha ha, right. It's a celebration of that as well. A lot of unusual things can happen on Halloween! People like to have feasts and dress up and share tales of horror and all sorts of wonderful things! And it's going to happen in thirty days.

[ She can't help grinning. Definitely infectious. ]

Really? Wow, so right at the end of the month! That's not very far off! [ She was just about to say she should see if Ed and the others would celebrate it but... ah... that's right, she'll be traveling alone by then. SHE RECOVERS QUICKLY THOUGH. ] I can't wait. I'll bet they're doing something big in Goldenrod and Olivine. They're big cities, right? They'll probably have a festival for it like they did at that Easter holiday.

And I think I already know exactly what I'll dress up as!

[quickattackjack]

Ha ha! They had better be doing something in Goldenrod or I'll do it myself!

_{[This kid is on the ball!]}

Oh? What are you going to be?

[Video]

[usedwaterpulse]

Sounds like they'd have an expert on the job. I'll probably be there by then. I can't wait to see it all for myself.

[ She really gets into this kind of stuff Jack YHNI. Not like you-- no one can really beat you at that --but still she's pretty damn interested. ]

There's a legend back home in one of the countries we visited, about a spirit that protects a village on a river, called the Painted Lady. I think I'll dress up as her again. I already know what I need for the outfit.

[quickattackjack]

That sounds like a great costume! There's water out here too. I hope it's a good, foggy night.

_{[Jack idly wonders if he knows that spirit, but doubts it.]}

[Video]

[usedwaterpulse]

Thank you! I can't wait to start on it. I hope you'll get to see it. What about you?

Yes! That would be absolutely perfect! It would really add to the mood.

_{[Jack opens his mouth...then closes it. What WAS he going to be? In his huge flurry to get things ready he hadn't actually thought about it. He taps his jaw for a moment before his eyes light up.]}

A pirate!

[usedwaterpulse]

[ LOL Jack the Pirate I see what you did there. ]

Sounds like a great costume! I kind of wish I could do more than one.
