35 days till Halloween [video/action]

[quickattackjack]

<sub>[Anybody passing by the Goldenrod Breeding Center will notice the front yard of the property is a horror scene of guts and flesh--pumpkin guts and flesh that is!]

[Jack is sitting in a folding chair enjoying the sunshine and elbow-deep in a pumpkin, scraping it out for carving. He's got his sunglasses pushed up on his forehead and a huge grin on his face. There are dozens surrounding him, most of them carved, each face more twisted than the last. His pokemon, Edgar the Murkrow, and One the Houndour are chasing each other around through the carnage.]

[He's got his 'gear in his free hand, holding it awkwardly because pumpkin goo has made it slippery .]</sub>

How is everyone today? We're halfway to Halloween! Well...almost halfway. Anyway, I'm warming up my carving skills because I haven't done it in over a year. I'm open to requests! Just go easy on me, I'm rusty.

Oh, that? No, I just thought I'd try my hand and see if I still remembered how. It's been a whole year!

You've been here an entire year? Jeez.

[He's heard of people being in Johto that long before, but he'd hoped it might be a bit rarer to stick around that long.]

Still feels kind of weird hearing about Halloween at all, here. The rest of it's kind of alien, most of the time.

Yeah...I'm afraid being homesick just doesn't go away, either.

On the bright side, if you do go home it's like you were never gone.

[So he's heard, anyway. His own experience says a bit differently, but that probably counted as special circumstances.]

...you know if they do the whole trick-or-treating thing here? I haven't seen that many kids here. Not really young ones, anyway.

[And attempting to shift to a more cheerful topic. Like the annual celebration of death and the departed.]

_{[Jack isn't totally sure he likes that idea. He's made so many good friends here. He'd hate to just...forget them.]}

I'm sure they do. I've seen costumes in the department stores.

That's a new experience. Selling costumes in October, instead of starting right after July 4th.

[A joke about stores getting a jump start on holiday sales, very original.]

I always thought the homemade costumes looked better, myself.
