57 days till Halloween [voice]

_{[Today's transmission is short and sweet. The background noise is running water and the light clacking of plates against one another.]

[Jack's having one of those realizations that crop up out of the blue and just has to share it with the world. He sounds worried.]}

Just how old do you think we newcomers can get in this place?

_{[There's a short pause before the feed ends that suggests he wants to add something else but he doesn't.]}

Hmmm...we should at least put the idea out there so that someone else might take the job.

A young lady spoke of creating facilities for new arrivals. Perhaps a celebration could be included.

[ Friends. He's never really thought of it that way... but then he never really was the first to jump at friends. The Happiny sleeps on though,oblivious to the look her trainer was giving her. ]

I bet she does. Was she the pokemon who was with you from the start?

_{[Edgar fluffs herself up once she's given up trying to remove her trainer's glasses.]}

That's right! It's been four years and she hasn't left my side. She was a handful when I first met her but at least she never got me arrested!

_{[Oh, Crow. He misses his friend and his strange card games.]}

Four years?

[ Well no wonder why he was asking this sort of question to the network... ]

You must miss your home quite a bit, sir.

I'll admit I do. Every day. Last year I worked on making my house as much like home as I could. It's helped some, but you know. It's not the same.

I don't think it ever will be, no matter how much work you put into it.

[ A sigh. ]

Has... anyone ever found a way back? Or at least a hint as to who brought us here and how long they plan to keep us?

_{[Jack slowly shakes his head, causing Edgar to tilt her own and croak deep in her throat. Trainer sad!]}

I'm afraid not. While I think they're fantastic, the only thing the people of this world seem to be interested in is Pokemon.

[ Even those who've gotten a little niche for themselves here still want to go home. ]

...If I ever hear anything sir, any way that we can get home, I'll make sure to let you know.

Now there's an idea! It would be much better than getting kicked out into the world by Mom with nothing but a floppy paper book to guide you.

I appreciate it--and I'll do the same for you.

If anything, I'd say Mother's presence makes the situation worse for many. Her inability to recognize her own child is extremely unsettling, though her cooking is delicious.

Thank you very much.

[ There's all but a polite little bow here. ]

Oh... right... by the way, I'm sorry. I haven't been here very long but I don't think I caught your name? Just so I know who to look for.

Yeah. Unless whoever dragged us here shows their face someday, we're kinda stuck where we are.

[Alas. There's always some kinda catch.]

So how do you deal with it?

Keep myself busy, mostly. Help out when I can. The haunted house took up most of my time last year-- I hope I can come up with enough to add to it this time that I'm not let twiddling my thumbs in September.

I'll be honest, some days I worry about Mother...

_{[The old man breaks into a grin. Of course here he'd be running his mouth on and on and forget to even introduce himself.]}

Jack Skellington at your service! And yours?

Her neighbors keep an eye on her, I believe, but I must admit I wish I could help her realize her situation.

I've heard there's a holiday called Mother's Day...do you think we should send her cards?

...I've no idea. There's a chance they'd make her happy, but cards from people she met once and possibly promptly forgot might also be upsetting.

[ And here he was just going on straight to business and not even introducing himself. ]

It's Yukio. Yukio Okumura. A pleasure to meet you, sir.

Ha, well, who knows? Maybe you could take inspiration from what happened last year. That whole dreamspace just screamed Halloween.

[Couple that with the nightmares people had before and... yep, that's a ton of material just waiting to be exploited.]

_{[Jack takes on a strangely guilty look.]}

Ah, right, that.

Now we're friends. Take care of yourself!

I hadn't thought of that...I'll just tuck that idea away for later.
