48 days till Halloween [video]

[quickattackjack]

_{[The feed flickers on to show THE WILDERNESS. Specifically, the outskirts of Goldenrod. The camera is jarring slightly as Jack walks. He's already puffing slightly. It's been a while since he's stretched his legs somewhere besides pavement.]}

Today's the day! I'm getting out of that stuffy house and making my way to Lavender Town. Why...I don't think I've even been to another town since I arrived in Goldenrod years ago. This is so exciting!

Needless to say, Drama classes will be canceled and if anyone needs to send me anything, forward it to Ecruteak. Wish me luck!

[He has to ask.]

Why Lavender Town of all places?

[Video]

[quickattackjack]

I aim to catch a gastly! It must be from Lavender Town.

[Video]

[francia]

[Why would you want a Gastly. Why.]

[France makes a valiant effort not to show his aversion to Jack's current life choice.]

They certainly have that and a few other Ghost types there.

[His mouth is slightly open for a long moment before his curiosity once more gets the better of him. He did try.]

Why do you want one?

[Video]

[quickattackjack]

_{[Poor France's distress soars right over Jack's head and ONWARD HE BABBLES.]}

Well, once I've seen a bit more of the world, I'm going to come back home and open a haunted bed and breakfast in the mansion Rangiku left me. It's a bit dull living in that big house all by myself and I miss scaring people.

You've stayed here for years? Didn't you want to see what else this world hides?

[Goldenrod is nice, but considering everything else...]

[video]

[quickattackjack]

To be honest, I forgot there was a rest of the world. I was so busy working that once I came into owning a home, I became a homebody.

[video]

[captainash]

I guess even a world with magical creatures and unexplained arrivals can lead to a routine, somehow.

[video]

[quickattackjack]

Sure looks that way. It feels strange to have gotten bored in a place like this.

[video]

[divinewind]

Staying in one place for so long sounds very boring.

[Very matter-of-fact over here, and a bit curious.]

Why did you stay so long?

[video]

[quickattackjack]

I fell into the trap of routine. A job, a house, plenty of friends.

[video]

[divinewind]

Oh, I see.

[Well...no he doesn't, really.]

It is good that you are going traveling then. What is in Lavender Town?

[Is it something exciting? Is it battles? Is it treasure?]

[video]

[quickattackjack]

Ghosts!

I'm on a quest to capture a Lavender Town Gastly!

[video]

[vulpesvivus]

Why Lavender Town? Doesn't that seem kind of...I don't know, risky?

[video]

[quickattackjack]

Risky? How so?

[video]

[vulpesvivus]

Lavender Town's supposed to be haunted, isn't it?

[video]

[quickattackjack]

_{[Jack laughs.]}

Oh, that! That's the entire reason I'm going!

Because I feel that these two should meet.

[brokethecycle]

Why Lavender Town?

SCREAM

[quickattackjack]

_{[Jack grins broadly.]}

I've been hearing stories about it ever since I arrived three years ago. I need a ghost pokemon from there.

[brokethecycle]

Oh. Are there lots of ghosts there? [PERKS UP. This is a relevant subject to Norman.]

[islandshore]

Not every day you see someone going all the way out to Lavender. What's the occasion?

video

[quickattackjack]

I'm going to be capturing a Lavender Town Gastly. It's something I've wanted to do for years.

video

[islandshore]

Huh, you know, I wonder how they differ from the ones around the Sprout Tower...

[That's interesting, though. Not everyone would go to such great lengths for a Gastly, but who's he to judge? Ghosts are awesome.]

But if you're looking for ghosts, the town's got a pretty strong history surrounding them. I can't think of a better place to catch one.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

You're comin' to Lavender?

That's like right next door to Saffron!

You're coming on the train, right?

[Video]

[quickattackjack]

Walking! Or-- as far as I can. I need to stretch these legs.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[... BUH.]}

.... Walking? ... All the way to Kanto?
