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.]

What's wrong? You shouldn't push yourself...

Halloween is only a couple of weeks away! I can't not!

If you lose any more sleep, you won't need a costume to scare anybody at all.

[action]

[quickattackjack]

...You think so?

_{[Jack, that wasn't a compliment.]}

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

That's... something you should be a little worried about.

[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.

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

[action]

[quickattackjack]

No.

Where I'm from this would be unforgivable.

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

Is Halloween really that big a deal?

[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.

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.

... 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.

_{[He sits up.]}

It's usually a town effort. I didn't get to do anything last year because...well, because last year.

_{[Jack was no fan of glitches.]}

I apologize for taking over the livingroom like this.

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Aww, it's fine! But you should've asked for help forever ago!

[action]

[quickattackjack]

You're right...if I'm still here for next Halloween I'll be sure to ask for some help.
