42 days till Halloween [video]

I bought a copy of this for a friend last year, but I don't think I told anyone else about it. I think this has to be the very best horror story I've come across since arriving in Johto. It's about a man who ventures into Diglett's Cave and becomes horribly lost...which is a feat since that cave is one of the less complicated ones that I've heard off.

_{[His face blanks momentarily as he remembers the horrors of Union cave...then his smile returns.]}

There's more to it than that, but I wouldn't want to give anything away! I know all of you have horror stories where you're from. Tell me about them!

I haven't seen a pirate in ages! I'm glad they still exist where you're from.

It's the only option, if military service or staying in the tiny town you were born in isn't your style. There aren't any at all where you're from?

Sorry had to hiatus for health!

[quickattackjack]

Not technically. They're all long dead.

It's ok. I'm not exactly a paragon of quick tagging myself.

[thetruehistorian]

How did they die?

[quickattackjack]

I assume they all grew old and died.

[thetruehistorian]

Time eventually takes everyone, doesn't it?

[quickattackjack]

I'm afraid so!

[thetruehistorian]

Have you ever met a skeleton that walked and talked?

[quickattackjack]

_{[A grin creeps across the old man's face.]}

A handfull.

[thetruehistorian]

What were their stories?

[quickattackjack]

Well, to be honest, they were just folks like you and I, only without troublesome things like skin or eyes or tongues.

[thetruehistorian]

How did you come to know them?

[She's really curious about this, as she had previously thought her skeleton-friend was quite unique.]

[quickattackjack]

My home is full of folks like that--skeletons, ghosts, manbeasts, ghouls of all sorts. _{[His grin fades a little.]} I miss it. It's going on two years now I've been away from home...

[thetruehistorian]

Sounds like you lived in a veritable land of the dead.
