quickattackjack | 37 days till Halloween [video] [action]

_{[Who missed having a screen-ful of cheerful old guy face?]

[Anyone?]}

Hello, everyone! It's been a while, hasn't it? Would you believe me if I said I lost my gear in the sofa cushions?

..._{because I did.}

ANYHOW who's ready for Christmas? Me. I am. I am ready for Christmas. Do you suppose Sandyclaws will come back? He left me a Houndour egg last year. Or someone did. I like to think I've been good this year. _{[If you don't count pranking the breeding center and possibly kidnapping people while dressed as a pirate on Halloween shhh.]} I bet this is going to be a first Christmas for some of you! Let me tell you, it's going to be wonderful!

...so long as nothing explodes. But that's a given. I think.

_{I really do hope nothing explodes.}

============[ACTION]==============

_{[Jack wanders the streets of Goldenrod in an overly puffy coat because adsfdsklgg cold. Under one arm are a few boxes that have already been wrapped and in his other hand is a list. He furrows his brows as he looks at the names on it and pauses every few stores to see if he can spot anything his friends might like.]

[But then he sees something else.]

[The poor ex-skeleton finds himself in the shadow of the biggest casino in town.]

[DB NO. MUST....RESIST. SHINY GAMES. AND LIGHTS. AND MUSIC.]

[He plants the list against his face and just sort of stands there on the street corner for a while.]

[A long while.]}

Jack, old boy, we can beat this.

There's not much we can do about it, save being good.

And if we're not good?

Well, you don't get a gift, traditionally, you get coal. But I think that's a bit of a let-down. If it were me, I'd give out poisonous spiders or something.

Sounds like a whole lotta work either way for someone undeservin' of a gift. And what if they like that stuff?

Seems kinda strange, if ya ask me.
