43 days till Halloween [video]

[quickattackjack]

Good evening, Johto!

_{[Here's a face that's made a regular ghost of himself.]}

I've been thinking...I know it's a bit of a touchy subject, but I spoke to several of you some time ago who were dead before you arrived? What would you all think of a little fall congregation here in Goldenrod next month? We could have dinner and swap stories. N-not on Halloween itself, because...

_{[Because IT GETS WEIRD on Halloween in Johto. He's learned that the hard way.]}

...oh! And you living folks are perfectly welcome as well! Every dead person was a living person at one point or another! Sometimes multiple points... Anyhow!

I'll try my best to make it to Goldenrod, then~ I'm new here, so I've got a long ways to go.

[Video]

[quickattackjack]

Sure am! Well, not at this moment obviously, but I was before I arrived.

_{[He laughs a little at the idea of such a question being rude. He waves the idea away.]}

Not at all!

[Video]

[quickattackjack]

I can say from experience that having eyes was one of the more difficult things to adjust to!

[video]

[quickattackjack]

I wouldn't say that! I've known several people who have gone home. Just like that!

_{[He decided not to include that they had returned as well. :I ]}

How are you so happy about that? [He definitely looks confused.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

A dead people party, huh?

I guess technically I'd be eligible.

[hintcoinplz]

[Wait what.]

Y-you didn't have eyes before?

Ugh. It seems like every time real life is about to settle down, it just swirls up again!

[conduit]

As people who are dead we shouldn't really fear graveyards, so it'd make sense to have one there~! Or maybe we can have it at my house, since I have enough land to host a whole score of people! I'd love to have the honors of being a hostess for my fellow individuals in the afterlife!

_{[Jack just grins. All the new friends he's made always seem so surprised about that.]}

Well, I had a lot of friends back home! I imagine being dead and alone would be pretty depressing, but there were several of us in Halloween Town who had passed years and years ago. It was just like being alive, only without troublesome things like...Oh, I don't know. Livers and things like that.

[Video]

[quickattackjack]

Well, a long long time ago, sure. But not while I was dead. All that had long since rotted away.

It was so long ago I forgot that I needed glasses. That was embarrassing.

ITS OKAY BRO

[quickattackjack]

Oh? That would be fantastic! Where do you live?

[Video]

[quickattackjack]

_[Heather???]

Technically?

[Video]

[hintcoinplz]

B-but you didn't have eyes, though? L-like you were um...some sort of...dead person? With no eyes?

[His voice may be reaching a higher pitch the more he talks.]

[Video]

[quickattackjack]

_{[ 8I Jack wonders why somebody responding to a call for the dead is acting so surprised.]}

A skeleton, to be precise.

[Video]

[hintcoinplz]

[Well he is fine until the no eyes part...]

T-that sounds like it'd be awful.

[Video]

[quickattackjack]

Not at all! Imagine--never having to worry about a stubborn eyelash getting into your eye. Or dust.

Or having skin for that matter! No rashes, no mosquito bites...

[Video]

[foolishwren]

... I got better?

[Video]

[quickattackjack]

_{[^ This face.]}

[Video]

[foolishwren]

No, seriously, I did.

Actually, I've kinda died lots of times.

_{[Normally she doesn't really talk about it, but... well. Jack's a SKELETON, man. If there's anybody she can talk to about her many brushes with death, it's probably him.}

[conduit]

I live in Goldenrod~! About a mile or two away from the department store~! I have a very large two story house with a porch we can use! It has a swing~! [ she's super excited about this opportunity. ]

[THIS WAS NOT IN ANY RELIGIOUS TEACHING ABOUT THE AFTERLIFE HE EVER GOT]

Halloween Town? Is everyone there dead?

[Video]

[quickattackjack]

_{[Once Jack decided Heather wasn't giving him a hard time, his brows peaked. He'd never suspected Heather to be one of them.]}

Oh. Forgive me.

_{[Something told him her deaths hadn't been as care-free as his own. Especially if she hadn't brought it up before now.]}

[Video]

[quickattackjack]

Not everyone! There are several of us though. The rest of our population is made up of what humans like to call monsters.

[quickattackjack]

That's great! That's perfect! Do you happen to have a piano? What is a good day for you?

...Oh! And your name! Forgive me.

[Monsters?]

Um...the monsters...they're nice, right? Like you?
