53 days till Halloween [video]

_{[Today's video is not a smiling old man but a large, dark face with enormous watery red eyes. The Yamask, Eric, has gottenhold of Jack's 'gear and is hovering among tarp-strewn walls and boxes of props. Everything that is visible, though, is aptly creepy and rickety and uninviting--just the way a haunted house should look.]}

Yamask! Yamamamask! Yamask!

< This is a horrible idea! It's terrible! Everything is going to go wrong, I know it! This whole contraption is an accident waiting to happen! A fire hazard! A death trap! Nobody listens to me! Ooooh, why won't anyone listen to me? Friends, if your trainers insist on coming to this--this--hullabaloo, please get them to wear a helmet or-- or strong shoes or...oh, just carry a first aid kit! >

Shhhh, now now, I'm sure he's already realized that and is planning for it. [She can't pat Eric soothingly but she can make a reassuring expression, at least.] Can't you trust your trainer?

Oh, I'd like to, but he-- I-- no. I don't suppose I can. He's so scattered!

_{[It would probably help if Jack used Eric in battle more.]}

Oh.

[Oh now that's awkward.]

Perhaps someone else, one of your fellow Pokemon? I'm sure they know that whatever happens won't be terrible.

M-maybe Lily would...I don't think she's completely on board!

_{[Speaking of fellow pokemon, a shiny Arbok slithers her way through the halls with a few rolls of paper in her mouth. She spots the Yamask and spits them out.]}

Sssssslacking on the job! Ssssso like you!

Noose, go away, I am in the middle of saving all our skins!

...Ahem.

[Hello new Pokemon.]

Hello, Noose. Your teammate here was talking to me about your trainer's plans for a haunted house. He's a bit concerned about the safety of it, you see.

_{[The golden snake narrows her eyes and squints at the gear. How odd...weren't most two-legs unable to understand pokemon? Well, this one was talking to her and Noose had been raised to answer when she's spoken to!]}

He is sssscared of everything. Trainer came down with the sore throat a month ago and we all thought Eric was going to fall to piecessss.

Sore throats are VERY serious! You should know! That's all you ARE is a throat! And you're being very rude, I'm talking to someone!

_{[The little ghost turns his beaky nose up and starts floating away from the Arbok.]}

Let's not start a fight now...[children pls] perhaps Noose is right and you're blowing it out of proportion? It's like I've been telling you, you can trust your trainer's judgment.

[Honestly she's not surprised to meet a Yamask that's frightened of everything, though, considering the apparent origin of the Pokemon.]

He might be unhappy to see that you're not helping out either and wonder what's wrong, won't he? Halloween plans or not, he's still your trainer and he'd still be concerned with your health. [Unless Eric's Chicken Little nature is something Jack ignores at this point.]

Noose only cares about herself and pushing Edgar off the Trainer's shoulder!

_{[The ghost sulks for a moment.]}

You're right, I can't waste time on this thing. I've got work to do. I've got to stop this Halloween from coming!

...Hang on a moment, let's not go that far. You'd be making a lot of people sad if you did that!
