_{[At first it's hard to tell that the Pumpkin King is upside down. He's hanging off the common room sofa in the Breeding Centre with his legs draped over the back. A pokemon toddling by along the cushions is the only clue to his position.]}

You know, I've been wondering...just how many of you were dead before you arrived? I admit it's gotten a little lonely on the network. We dead folk must stick together!

Hah, yeah? They must be pretty old then. How old are you?

[notakaijuu]

I'm eleven!

[quickattackjack]

_{[Eleven whole years of survival was something to be proud of in Jack's opinion! The human world was an unforgiving one. He grins.]}

Really? When's your birthday, I'll have to remember it.

[notakaijuu]

April 1st!

[ A beat. Then her hands fly to her mouth in surprise. ]

Oh! That's coming up soon!

[quickattackjack]

It is, isn't it! What would you like? Goldenrod has all sorts of shops.

_{[He wants to make up for spooking her earlier. He's read all about April 1st but only entertains the thought of getting her a gag gift for a moment or two. That would be mean and she IS only a kid.]}

[notakaijuu]

You don't have to get me anything, Mr. Jack! But, um, I really like the dolls that Goldenrod has.

[quickattackjack]

We'll see!


_{[Luckily for Sakura, Jack has learned a little more about gift giving since That Christmas.]}
