48 days till Halloween [video]

_{[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!

_{[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.

[France literally heard nothing else after "haunted bed and breakfast."]

[It's not that France is a complete coward.]

[It's just that sometimes France is a complete coward.]

That's -

[He makes a nervous noise that's more of a titter than an actual laugh.]

- a very unique idea.

Why, thank you! I hope it'll be a success. It's more about the fun of it than the money, really.

_{[ALL SMILES OVER HERE.]}

[France is so going to stay far away from Jack's mansion whenever he's in Goldenrod. He's going to stay at least a hundred feet away at all times.]

[He tries to smile, although his eyes keep darting to check his peripheral vision.]

Scaring people can be fun. For some. Gastly and their evolutions are quite, ah, adept at it. In my experience.

Absolutely! I could just go back to Violet and find one in the Sprout Tower, but ever since I got here, I've wanted to visit Lavender.

[France remembers Sprout Tower. He does not talk about Sprout Tower.]

Lavender is a quaint town. I suppose it does have some similarities to Violet City. It has some very nice flower gardens.

[And that's about all France cares to remember of the place. He takes a deep breath and tries to move on.]

I'm surprised that you aren't taking the Magnet Train from Goldenrod to Saffron. What route are you taking to Kanto?

_{[Oh, don't worry, France, Jack's got his own feelings towards Sprout Tower. If he never saw that place again, it would be too soon.]}

I haven't the foggiest! It's going to be an adventure.

[Good. 'Tis a silly place.]

[France blinks, once again derailed.]

You could try taking the S.S. Anne from Olivine to Vermilion City. I recently took the cruise in January and found it to be very pleasant.

[Despite regular interruption by Sailors and Gentlepersons wanting to battle.]

I've never been on a cruise before...not on top of the water anyway. That could be interesting...

Where could a cruise be but on top of the water?

[France is befuddled.]

Some friends of mine had a sunken ship some time ago. How long is the cruise to Kanto?

A sunken ship? But then how were you on it?

[That makes no sense.]

The cruise lasted six nights and seven days. It was very relaxing, and it would probably be even better in good weather.

Oh! We're all dead.

_{[ 8I there wasn't really a graceful way to put it.]}

O-oh...

[Not what he expected.]

[He opens his mouth. Closes it. Opens it again. Makes an abortive gesture. Closes his mouth. Opens it again.]

Dead?

As a door nail. I got better, as you can see, but I can assure you the dead are just like you!
