36 days till Halloween [Video/Action for Breeding Center]

[quickattackjack]

<sub>[What? Why, NO, you can't use the livingroom.]

[There's a Jack in it.]

[A rather distressed Jack. He's sitting on the center of the rug surrounded by open movie rental boxes and sorting through them like a mad man. The remote sits off to the side and the flatscreen is playing credits from the last disaster he's pre-screened. Some cornsyrup happy gorefest called Crockagnaw 2. Jack doesn't look well. There are dark circles under his eyes (even more so...considering he's like...a dead guy) and his hair isn't tied back. It is fucking EVERYWHERE. He's punching away furiously at his 'gear and broadcasting his findings.]</sub>

Can ANYONE out there reccommend me a good horror movie? I've watched over thirty eight and they all SUCK. _{[Thanks again, Barney, for teaching him that word.]} Come on, Johto! You're killing me! Flying Type? Honestly?

_{[He holds up a sun-faded box with an ominous Pidgeotto silhouetted against a rooftop on the cover.]}

I admit, Used Revive had potential but....hhhhhhhgggggghh!

_{[He gives in and flops backwards, giving the 'gear a good shot of the ceiling light fixture.]}

This movie night is going to be a disaster. I know it. It's not going to be a horror fest. It'll be a comedy show.

_[WOE.]

Sure. [not that he'd know what a good one would be, sob.]

YOU BETTER NOT OR YOU'LL REGRET IT

[tarotcards]

[ Kneeling down to pick up the box off Jack's face. ]

Why not try making your own then?

[ex_cashcow493]

[ She will do ALL THE HEROIC THINGS for him. ]

It will be done. [ Knight's Honor and all. ] What will you have me do afterward?

[action]

[quickattackjack]

I can't rest until I find something to show the house. I've made such a big to-do over it. If-- if I failed I'd just have to go live in the woods.

AND THEN LJ SUCKED FOR A WHILE

[quickattackjack]

_{[8C LOOK AT THAT SAD FACE, SOUJI. LOOK AT IT.]}

No time. I was supposed to square this away today and focus on spider webs. They're very important.

_{[He reached for the movie box. If Souji let him have it, he'd replace it over his own face.]}

action SORRY FOR THE DELAY LJ SUCKS

[quickattackjack]

If you can find me a good horror movie...I'll be in your debt forever.

_{[That was a long time.]}

[ex_cashcow493]

A good horror movie? Then I accept. I shall watch every movie in this realm and assist you in locating one that is deemed good.

... what makes it a good movie?

[quickattackjack]

Well..you've got to watch it. And then not feel like your time was wasted afterwards.

[ex_cashcow493]

Hm. A difficult challenge.

[ Seeing as the concept of a movie in the first place made her feel as though her time was wasted. ]

[quickattackjack]

_{[He gestures to the PILE OF FAIL all around him.]}

Very difficult. I appreciate your help.

[ex_cashcow493]

[ The PILE OF FAIL which will probably keep her very busy. ]

Right. Are there no other requirements?

[quickattackjack]

Not anymore. It doesn't even have to be terribly scary. Just not...insulting to one's intelligence. I'm just going to...close my eyes for a little bit.

_{[aka pass out on the living room rug.]}

[ex_cashcow493]

[ And so Saber was off on her quest to find a good horror movie.

Don't worry Jack. King Arthur will do her best to not let you down ;A; Not sure you should rely on someone who's scared of the word 'Ni' though... ]

[quickattackjack]

<sub>[SABER WILL DO JUST LOVELY.]

[Jack, meanwhile, finally got a little rest. Hearing a dead man snore had to be something for anyone walking by.]</sub>

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

-- Huh? Isn't that a little extreme?

LJ ALWAYS SUCKS, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

[tarotcards]

[ SO SAD. SOUJI WANTS TO GET JACK A KITTEN ]

[ And no, Souji is raising the box out of Jack's reach. ] That excited for Halloween?

[quickattackjack]

<sub>[Jack keeps a spidery hand outstretched. Give it to him. GIVE HIM HIS SHAME SHIELD.]

[He sighs.]</sub>

Back home, Halloween was what we prepared for all year long. We brought it to the rest of the world. It's my job.

[action]

[quickattackjack]

No.

Where I'm from this would be unforgivable.

_{[Ignore him, he's just tired.]}

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Is Halloween really that big a deal?

[action]

[quickattackjack]

_{[Jack rolls over to face Rise and leans up on an elbow.]}

You know who Sandyclaws is, right? Imagine if he suddenly didn't have a sleigh.

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Sandy--

... Santa?

[action]

[quickattackjack]

Right, Sandyclaws. Imagine him with no sleigh. Or-- no. Or all the gifts he meant to bring to the children were all broken, suddenly.

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

... Isn't that almost like no Christmas?

[action]

[quickattackjack]

Yes, and if I fail to bring something good to the people in this house, it will be like I have failed Halloween!

_{[ALL OF THE WILD GESTURES! ALL OF THEM.]}

I know it sounds crazy, but that's what my world did-- we brought Halloween to everyone. All I want to do is this one thing. For you guys.

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

... So that's why you've been so hung up on this. [ she nods slowly, clearly not finding it crazy at all. ] But if you try to do this on your own, you're definitely gonna get worn out.
