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!

_{[Jack breaks into a huge, snaggled grin.]}

Fantastic! I'll let everyone know once a date has been decided.

Alright...

[Still a little apprehensive about it... Dead people. Who knew?]

So do you really think something bad will happen this Halloween?

[It's his first.]

[video]

[quickattackjack]

I'd bet my left shin on it. Something always happens. Of all holidays...

[video]

[newberktown]

Why your left shin...? Er, what's special about Halloween?

[Genuine curiosity! He doesn't know enough to bad-mouth your favorite holiday, Jack.]

[video]

[quickattackjack]

Why, it's only the single greatest holiday in existence!

[video]

[newberktown]

...What is it?

[video]

[quickattackjack]

_{[Jack's face is filled with momentary pity because it must have been a sad and barren world that the little viking came from.]}

Halloween is when you celebrate the departed! You have festivals and costume parties and tell scary stories.

[video]

[newberktown]

[True, but it would have been even WITH Halloween.]

Huh... Okay. [Pause.] What do costumes have to do with celebrating the departed? I mean, unless you dress up like a dead person.

[video]

[quickattackjack]

You could if you like! A lot of people pick scary costumes because they believe it confuses the spirits that return to earth to seek out revenge. But mostly because it's fun. Wouldn't you like to be something else for a night?

[video]

[newberktown]

...I think I'm starting to see why weird things happen on Halloween.

[VENGEFUL GHOSTS.]

I never really thought about being something else. Something different, maybe. I guess it could be fun.

[video]

[quickattackjack]

What do you think you'd like to be for Halloween?

[video]

[newberktown]

Uhmn...

[Back home, if he was given a chance to be what he wanted, he probably would have just picked a bigger and stronger viking that his father could be proud of, accomplishments or no.

Now...]

...I guess a dragon. Or maybe a scientist--someone really smart.

[video]

[quickattackjack]

Why not a dragon who's a scientist?

[video]

[newberktown]

[Whoa, this guy thinks big.]

I've never met a dragon who would willingly wear a lab coat.

[video]

[quickattackjack]

Then you'll be the first!

[video]

[newberktown]

Maybe I will!

[It does seem...sort of fun...]
