44 days till Halloween [video]

[quickattackjack]

Good morning-- er. Good night-- HELLO, Johoto!

_{[Jack wastes no time face-caming it up. He is all smiles and his murkrow, Edgar, is on his shoulder.]}

For anyone who's interested in attending the Dead Man's Party, we now have a date and location! It will be held in Goldenrod, on October the 27th! The lovely Miss Rangiku has offered her home to us for the evening. There will be refreshments, story swapping, and music if we can repair her piano in time.

Other Father, do you think you could help?

I'll be sending out invitations with directions to anyone who is interested. The living are welcome as well!

Dead Man's Party?

Text

[quickattackjack]

Yes! A get-together to celebrate all those who had died before arriving here in Johto.

[shallbeavenged]

Celebrating our deaths?

Why?

Text

[quickattackjack]

Well, not celebrating the fact that we died, but the life that we lived beforehand. Plus, having something so important in common is a good way to make friends.

[conduit]

Ooh-! I do hope my party will be a success~! I'm sure the piano will be repaired too~! Luckily, all it needs is a few strings! It's a grand piano~! [ who knows how it got there because she just inherited the house. ]

Do you mind if I add some beautiful sparkle dust to the invitations~? I was thinking a lovely, inviting, orangish-pink~! For the hallow's eve spirit! [ Good thing she learned about this last year. ]

[quickattackjack]

_{[Jack thinks about that and while he isn't a huge fan of 'sparkle dust' of any sort, they are using Rangiku's house and she seems awfully excited.]}

Go right ahead!

[conduit]

Okay! I'll be sure to sprinkle some on the invitations! They'll look absolutely amazing. I'll only sprinkle a little bit, though, just so it's eye catching! [ Jack this is a bad idea.... they'll look so glittery when they're done, though! At least it can't be that bad. ]

Are you certain the end of October is a good time for a party?

[Because last year. And the year before that. :|]

[video]

[quickattackjack]

I thought the end of the month would be better than hosting it on Halloween itself because...of things that tend to happen.

_{[Oh he remembers AALLL too clearly.]}

[video]

[paladinlost]

Things tend to happen even before the exact date. Early November might be safer.

[For a given value of safe.]

[He's... a little down at the moment, but he's really trying his hardest not to make it apparent.

Maybe this could take his mind off of things? And pianos are his forte of all the instruments he can play.]

A party without music? [He's being mock offended] 'Ca~n't have that.

[His grin should answer his question!]

[Video]

[quickattackjack]

_{[Oblivious skeleton is oblivious.]}

I knew you'd come through for us! Just contact Miss Rangiku and she can tell you what needs to be done.

[Video]

[pianokeys]

[As he hoped, to be honest.]

We~ll... couldn't turn down King's request.

Miss Rangiku? [He doesn't recognize the name.] 'She on the network?

[Dead Man's Party. Well, if that didn't sound like something a certain King of Halloween would do Demyx wasn't sure what would.

Which is why Demyx decides to try and play it smooth when he flicks on the video mode.]

Sounds like you're planning a small shindig, eh? I'm actually on the way to Goldenrod for a few things. If you want a hand with anything, I'm good with parties. Oh...Umm, name's Demyx by the way.

[And now he just had to wait for the confirmation. Of course, given that he was mostly sure already he could barely contain himself.]

[Video]

[quickattackjack]

Nice to meet you, Demyx! You'd be right. It's not going to be an enormous to-do, but you never know. I don't think it would hurt to have an extra hand or two on staff, welcome aboard!

Name's Jack, in case you need to contact me.

[Video]

[melodicnocturne]

Jack Skellington...King of Halloween. The spook himself, in...

[Excuse him, he's just going to get a very small chuckle out of this.]

In the flesh. It's...it's really nice to meet you in person, Jack. Er. Figuratively, at least. I'm a huge fan of your work. Halloween and April Fools are my favorite celebrations.

[STAY COOL DEMYX. STAY. COOL.]

I, uh, know this'll sound way weird...well, maybe not. I mean, we're all in another world here and now so the whole thing about 'more than one world out there' is probably an understood 'round here. Like, especially what with all these people from so many different places and times all gettin' crammed together in this crazy place. Actually, it'd be a real wonder if somebody didn't figure the whole 'multiple worlds' bit out from bein' lugged here...

[And it just so happens that it's at this point that he realizes he's going off on a tangent. Demyx almost drops the gear from flailing about in shock at how far off topic he's gotten, but catches it and steadies the feed again. The blond reaches back to scratch his head nervously, then chuckles while grinning sheepishly at the camera.]

Sorry, sorry. My bad. What I was tryin' to say was just that I know about Halloween Town and you from my world. I can explain...er, if you really want me to, that is.

Hi. [He's come to a decision on the party now.] I talked with the ones I'm traveling. It seems that we've going to be traveling to Goldenrod anyway, so I can participate.

video

[quickattackjack]

That's great! Bring your friends!

video

[itsudemoissho]

Well, someone might come with me, but we'll see once the time comes.

[Video]

[rooster_shout]

I'd love to come to your party! Do I need to be dead to go?

[Video]

[quickattackjack]

Of course you can come! The living are welcome as well.

[Video]

[rooster_shout]

Awesome! Do we get to dress up too! [It's funny Halloween is pretty much the only time he thinks to wear a completely new outfit.]

[broomwithaview]

Nothing in Kanto, Mr. Jack? Looks like I'll be hosting my own little celebration by myself.

[video]

[quickattackjack]

I'm afraid I haven't had the chance to visit Kanto, but from what I hear, they have a town that would be perfect for this sort of thing.

[video]

[broomwithaview]

Oh really? Where? I'll put it on my travel map!
