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.

[John's expression goes from concerned to annoyed in the span of about half a second when Jack turns the camera to the tower. He was worried about the fact that the ghosts were upset but then...]

Are you fucking kidding me?

[Jack, you are not the only one who wanted to see Lavender more than any other city in either region. John is clearly almost, if not exactly, as displeased as you are]

_{[Such language, Mr. Egbert, but Jack wholeheartedly agrees.]}

I wish I were.

[Hey, sometimes the situation calls for the f-bomb!]

Who does something like that? Like how stupid and basically terrible do you have to be to tear down the final resting place for a bunch of Pokémon! Especially to build a radio tower, of all things!

Humans do a lot of foolish things. What I want to know is why they haven't retaliated.

[ghostytrainer]

Good question. I am kind of surprised they haven't, knowing ghosts. Maybe they did in the past and some kind of...I dunno, truce was reached?

[Seriously, Nintendo. How did you never comment on this glaring oversight.]

[quickattackjack]

If there were a truce, this air wouldn't feel like a lit stick of dynamite.

[ghostytrainer]

Oh...right. So what, they're really patient or something? Do you think they're biding their time for just the right moment to strike?

[quickattackjack]

I don't know, but I'm about to find out. Wish me luck.

Good luck, man. Let me know how it goes. As is, I'm already not so sure I want to bother with going to Lavender Town anymore and if the spirits are plotting something that's not really going to make me change my mind.
