50 Days Till Halloween [video]

_{[It's evening when Jack appears on the Network for the first time in quite a while. The purple-roofed houses behind him make it obvious as to where he is. He looks tired but also frustrated. There are no smiles on this pumpkin.]}

I've arrived safely. Forgive me for not checking in sooner, but I've been in Lavender Town for a day or so no. I have to say, I never expected this amount of unrest in the air. It's absolutely oppressive. The spirits here are not happy.

_{[Jack flips the 'gear around to show the Radio Tower in the gloom of sunset.]}

I'd so hoped my arrival would be happier. I have wanted to visit this town since I arrived three long years ago.

It could be out of respect for the man who now cares for their graves. Or perhaps they've previously tried and failed.

Maybe...I hope they haven't simply given up.

They could simply be biding their time. Ghost invasions happen surprisingly often, after all.

You've got a point there...but if it were my home, I wouldn't let them get a shovel in the ground.

Perhaps Dark-types were used to force them to move. That'd leave them disadvantaged.

I had forgotten about that--the weakness I mean. I haven't encountered enough trainers in town to notice if they had more dark-types. It wouldn't surprise me now.

The presence of a high number of both Ghost- and Dark-types would certainly explain a lot about the town's atmosphere.

I'd happily give them a home with me if I could house all of them.

...Considering the number of graves in that house, you'd need a town of your own for that.

I used to have one.

Our life here would be much simpler if we were allowed to bring the real estate we usually own.

[His castle, he wants it back.]

Wouldn't it, though? What are you missing?

A castle.

[He thinks about it for a few seconds.]

...You could make a case for the whole country, but the castle is really my home.

_{[SAD RICH FRIENDS.]}

I hope you're able to return to it one day.

Considering its current state, returning there as soon as possible would be best. I also hope you'll have the chance to see your town again.
