49 days till Halloween [video] back-dated to the 13th

[quickattackjack]

HELLO, SAFFRON CITY!

<sub>[Noise all up in your gear today. There is a happy old dude standing in a train station with his gear half sideways. He's in that goofy Hawiian shirt again and he's got sunglasses perched on his head.]

[It's not even sunny but THIS IS WHAT YOU WEAR WHEN YOU GO ON VACATION, DARN IT.]</sub>

I decided to take the train instead of walking and I'm glad I did! I've never ridden anything that went so fast! I do plan on walking to Lavender in a few days, though. I'm curious to see what Kanto has to offer.

So! What's a body do in Saffron City?

[quickattackjack]

Great! Fantastic!

_{[He thatches his spidery fingers together and just enjoys the sounds of the cafe.]}

What have you been up to?

[ACTION]

[foolishwren]

Mostly just hanging out.

Some friends have a house nearby... I go up there to bug them from time to time.

_{[The Justice Farm has no doubt gotten used to Heather's loud presence by now.]}

[ACTION]

[quickattackjack]

That's great! I'm not surprised that some people have decided to settle. I never expected to, but here I am. What about you? Are you and your father planning on finding a home eventually?

[ACTION]

[foolishwren]

... Well...

_{[She trails off, idly picking up one of the tiny laminated menus and scanning it.]}

I dunno. Dad hasn't brought it up or anything yet... but I know he's not super into traveling.

... But at the same time... I've been here so long without having a PLACE, you know? It'd feel kind of weird.

... And...

... If Dad ever went home...

I'm not sure I could...

_{[His expression falls and he nods quietly. Jack could understand that. He'd been grateful for his own home. It was so sad to wake up every day in the Breeding Centre and find an empty place at the table.]}

Let's not dwell on that, then.

[ACTION]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[Yeah.]

[She can't fool herself anymore. She knows that any day, any minute, the family she was lucky enough to regain could disappear without a trace. What was the point of settling down? If she somehow managed to scrape together to buy a house, and her father vanished... she knows already that she would lock the door and never go back.]</sub>

Amen.

SO.

Uh, this place has great cappuccinos.

[ACTION]

[quickattackjack]

Then that's what I'll have. I don't believe I've tried one. We drank a lot of plain old coffee at the Breeding Center.

_{[Heather. Heather no.]}

Cappuccino! _{[Jack threw a hand in the air to get the attention of the workers.]}

[ACTION]

[foolishwren]

I don't usually drink them but they're okay.

_{[She raises her hand as well, two fingers extended.]}

Make that two!

[ACTION]

[quickattackjack]

_{[It doesn't take long for their drinks to arrive. Jack accepts his and takes an experimental drink.]}

Wow! Hah, that's different.
