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

_{[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.]}

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.]

I know. that's why I'm so upset.

_{[LE SAD FACE.]}

I didn't really get to do Halloween last year because I was so swept up in everything here being new...and then the world glitched and it wasn't very fun for anyone. But this year I wanted to do it right. It's hopeless.

This is a crisis. An emergency.

[SHE UNDERSTANDS.]

_{[YOU'RE MAKING IT WOOOOORSE.]}

There will be several things to do in town on Halloween but this was the one thing I wanted to do for everyone in the house. This is the first place I've really lived in a while.

_{[It's in everybody's best interest that Jack stick to kind gestures like this instead of trying to cook again.]}

If you run across any in the stores on your journey, could you be so kind as to call me and tell me the title? You seem to know what Halloween is all about.

I should get a Ghost Type some time. They'd know how to find the spookier things. But, I'll make it a mission to find the scary ones. They've got to be around here somewhere. It can't be that there isn't a single scary one in all of Johto.

[She smiles at him.]

Halloween is my favorite holiday. It deserves the proper treatment.

I don't know about that. I have a Driftloon and he's...he's just a little bit useless. But it couldn't hurt to ask him. Speaking of Ghost pokemon, stay out of the tower in Violet. The pokemon there are violent and they'll drag you up and down the stairs.

_{[This girl knows what she's talkin' bout!]}

You're darn right it does!

No going to the tower in Violet. Got it. Thanks for the tip. I really appreciate it.

[Someone else who knows about Halloween the way she does! Best day ever!]

There are too many people who don't know about it here. It's so depressing.

_{[Why did Jack have a feeling she was going to poke her nose in anyway 8c ?]}

It really is. If I'm stuck here a hundred years I'll make sure every town gets it right.

[He has good instincts.]

A hundred years? Can you live that long?

_{[Jack opens his mouth....then shuts it.]}

Probably...not. But I'll try!

The average life expectancy of humans usually isn't that long. You can see that just by checking out graveyards.

To be honest, I haven't found many graveyards. I used to look for them constantly when I first arrived--nothing. It's the strangest thing.
