_{[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.]}

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.

_{[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?

[voice/text]

[usedpoisongas.livejournal.com]

All sorts of tests. Most of them had the unfortunate side effect of causing death, usually in very violent ways. That's where most of the bloodstains came from.

_{[Jack is quiet for a little while because he's trying to imagine how the slowly browning color of blood would look against orange. It's not a personal favorite, but everyone liked different things!]}

What are you going to do for this year?

Considering I'm not at the Enrichment Center, I really see no need to be so festive. It's so much harder to create appropriate decorations without a steady supply of corpses, anyway.

I'm sure you could find other ways! I live in Goldenrod and some of the shops here seem to be very good at fabricating that kind of thing. It's not, you know, perfect. But it's close!

[ There's a short pause. ]

Under optimal travel conditions using previously-gathered data, estimated travel time from present location to Goldenrod City is three weeks. Given previous performance, a more realistic estimate would be at least two months.

I know not everyone is good at math, so I will put this simply. That alternative is not happening.

_{[Jack is not sensing the same enthusiasm...but doesn't lose hope. He's convinced that once the cooler weather arrives, she'll get into the spirit!]}

Well, suit yourself! I hope you have a good one regardless!

A good Halloween would necessitate my finding a suitable location to upload my personality back where it belongs.

[voice]

[quickattackjack]

_{[Jack is quiet once more, working that out in his head.]}

Oh, you mean going home?

_{[He could understand that.]}

[voice/text]

[usedpoisongas.livejournal.com]

That would not be strictly necessary. But I'm sure it would be of great help.

[voice]

[quickattackjack]

Either way, I'll be hoping for you.

Hope has been found to be one of the leading agents in death among those who are identified as optimists in Enrichment Center testing.

_{[Only NOW is he picking up that something is...off about this lady.]}

You're welcome.
