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!

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.

....

There wasn't anything to celebrate in my life.

Being dead is having something in common?

_{[There is a delay in messages as Jack is reminded not everyone has forgotten their time as a living person. And not every person had the best of lives.]}

Perhaps you could join us and celebrate that it's over?

[shallbeavenged]

No.

[After a moment though she decides not to leave it at that. She should at least try to interact with people. Though she almost does, her death is a touchy subject still. Even after all these years and getting some peace.]

I have no reason to celebrate that either.

Perhaps it isn't the get-together for you then. I hope you have a happy Halloween regardless!

[She is far too cynical for parties.]

Do they celebrate holidays here then?

Text

[quickattackjack]

Absolutely! I've learned about a handful of holidays since coming here, such as Valentines Day and New Years Eve. I'm sure there are many more I've missed.

How is Halloween celebrated?

There are usually harvest festivals with hayrides. Children enjoy dressing up in costumes and going door to door for treats and older individuals partake in watching horror movies or telling ghost stories to one another. Others like to go to old abandoned buildings and test their courage because it's said that the world of the living and the world of the dead are much closer together this time of year.

Is that what happens here?

Text

[quickattackjack]

For the most part, yes!

Text

[shallbeavenged]

Someone said there were ghosts last year. Were you here for that?

Text

[quickattackjack]

Indeed there were. I feel it in my bones that they'll show up again this year.

Text

[shallbeavenged]

What did they do last year?

Text

[quickattackjack]

I don't remember.
