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!

Oh, I'm sorry... I can't recall anyone by that name, but I can keep an eye open for you.

[His face falls.]

Oh...thanks anyways, Mr...what should I call you?

[Video]

[quickattackjack]

You can call me Jack, if you like. Don't worry about formalities! What shall I call you?

[used_realtears]

I'm Nobita! [He smiles a bit]

[quickattackjack]

Alright, Nobita! Now we know one another!

[He smiles for a moment, but then looks confused.]

So...you said you knew dead people...are you dead too? [A pause] Ah, that wasn't rude, was it? I'm sorry!

[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!

Re: [Video]

[used_realtears]

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

_{[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.

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

Halloween Town? Is everyone there dead?

[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.

Re: [Video]

[used_realtears]

[Monsters?]

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

[Video]

[quickattackjack]

Most of the monsters I knew back home were quite civilized! However, you have disagreeable people in every, er, species, I guess.

_{[Jack was well aware that humans eating other humans was quite a bit rarer though.]}

Re: [Video]

[used_realtears]

That's true! [He smiles a bit as he thinks back on his own experiences.] You can't judge people just because they're not human!
