51 days till Halloween [Video][Possible action for Goldenrod]

_{[Jack is in much higher spirits this time as the feed opens. He's at home and seemingly in the middle of a construction project if all the leaning, unsanded boards, paint buckets, and piles of plastic are anything to go by.]

[There are also six Gastly floating here and there carrying tools.]}

Good evening, Johto! I've got a couple of favors to ask. I'm in the middle of a project here and if anybody would like to save me a little time by running to the hardware store for me, I'll happily pay you back. I've also got some lemonade and sandwiches made if that means anything to you--

_{[The biggest of the Gastlies drops the hammer it's been carrying and suddenly zooms off through the wall, followed by a second.]}

Fester! Elvis! Those aren't for--

_{[It's hopeless. Jack withers a bit.]}

I'll... have some made if you can help me out.

[You know who's willing out to help out an old man? This girl.]

I got some time to kill. What exactly do you need?

Hello! I'm out of nails. If you could find a pack of four-inch nails, that would be fantastic.

Alright, sounds cool. And where would I find you?

I guess I should have said where I was, hah. I'm in Goldenrod. The big house on the north end of town.

Alright, got it. I won't take long. [Yumi drops the call from there.]

[After about 15-20 minutes from the call, Jack may hear a knock on the door. Yumi'll be waiting outside with her bike and plastic bag in her hand.]

_{[There's a bit of a delay between Yumi knocking and the door actually opening. When it does, she's greeted by Jack trying to hold back a gaggle of overly friendly ghosts as if they were those yappy dogs that liked to jump up on strangers.]}

Thank you so much! I-- Fester, no. Stay. _{[He fishes out his wallet.]} I appreciate your help so much, would you like to come in?

[Yumi could help but wince a bit when she saw the ghosts coming up to the door but she gets over it.]

[She sets her bike to the side before replying.] Um, sure Mr...?

Skellington! This way.

_{[He shoos the pesky ghosts away and allows her entry to the mansion. It's a bit under-decorated but it isn't dusty and there's a large fireplace in the living room. The kitchen is easily visible through a tall archway.]}

If Fester hasn't gotten into them, I have grilled cheese. I'm afraid the bologna is gone. Here you are.

_{[He hands over the money for the nails.]}

And I thought mine were bad about that. [He shakes his head a bit.] Can't help out, I'm in Kanto but, what's the project?

If I've made my blueprints correctly, by the end of the day I should have a rotating panel in my floor.

What are you needing a rotating panel for?

Why, to dump people into bottomless pits of course.

[A moment of silence as he considers if that's joking or not.] For fun?

Mostly. It wouldn't be a haunted house without a couple of trap doors.

Good point. A few false ones could ramp up the suspense too.

Now there's an idea!

What exactly do you got planned? If you need suggestions, grew up with a bro who got more and more inventive with shit just like this.

Well I've got a haunted bed-and-breakfast in the works and while I don't plan on killing anyone...for obvious reasons...I'd still like it to be scary. The doors are for my non-gaseous pokemon to pass between rooms more easily.

Hm. If it's a bed and breakfast, got a theme you're rolling with on the horrors or tailoring it all to specific rooms and what you know works?

I'm thinking each room will be a bit different. The guests can choose what kind of scares they want or leave it up to registration.

So at the registration there will be a list of what you could go do? Sort of like a map.

Less like a map, more like a menu.

A scream filled menu, I like it.

I do hope you'll stop by!

Let me know when it's up and I'll make sure to swing by. You can count on it.

Ahh, wish I could help but you know that's kind of tricky when you're a whole region away.

[He chuckles apologetically.]

What'cha up to though? Any project of the Pumpkin King has to be something awesome.

Hello, John! I'm building a trap door that will lead into a pit from which there will be no escape!

_{[ 8D ]}

Oh excellent. Will it be button activated? You know, so like when you get that annoying houseguest or door to door salesman who just won't go away you can send them into the pit with a single menacing button push?

[ 8D indeed.]

I don't think so, I think it'll be pressure activated. You'll have to stand on it.

Well yes, of course. But then once somebody is standing on it, you... [A beat.] Have you never seen a spy movie before? Or a cartoony villain? You know with the unsuspecting trigger buttons into a pit of doom?

Or maybe we are not talking about the same thing here. Were you not being literal with the pit thing? Was that a joke?

_{[Jack chuckles. He can't help himself.]}

It's for the pokemon so they can move easily between the rooms. The ghosts can do it on their own, but I have a few other scaractors who need some help.

Ohhhh, gotcha. Oh so is this preparations for halloween then, perhaps?

Halloween and onward! Who says I can only scare people one day out of the year?

True that, hahaha. So does that mean the Haunted B&B is definitely on?

Absolutely!

Excelleeeeeeent. I look forward to the results. You will keep me updated, right?

Absolutely!
