62 days till Halloween [Video]

[quickattackjack]

_{[It's early. It's way, way too early, but here's Jack outside in the dawn fog, perched precariously on a ladder and stringing up lights along the eaves of his mansion. The Halloween decorations haven't even been taken down. Why would they be? Of course he's going to address the network!]}

Jingle bells! Silver bells!... Bells bells bells! Aha-hah! I can't believe it, it's already here!

_{[At least he didn't do this on November first, right?]}

I hope you've all been good! I know I have! What are you hoping to get this year from old Sandy Claws?

_{[His joyful yammering is cut off for a moment as his ladder wobbles and he pinwheels his arms (gear in-hand) to catch his balance. Somewhere off-screen it's possible to hear a Yamask having a poke'breakdown.]}

That was a close one...I think. I think this year I'd like...a quiet holiday. And maybe hiking boots.

[....Ahahaha. Oh Jack....]

Yeah... I suppose...

[awesmazings]

[He pauses, tilting his head.]

Sandy Claws?

[peach_boy]

You know how to build stuff?!

[quickattackjack]

Fine! Fine!

_{[He lets out that nervous laugh people let out when they nearly fall twenty something odd feet.]}

But you see, that would be your first guess! But in a world where anything could happen, you'd never be able to just guess! Wouldn't that be fun?

[quickattackjack]

Haha, you'd best suppose! Sandy Claws knows if you've been naughty or nice! He knows everything.

[video]

[quickattackjack]

Yes! A fellow in a red coat who comes down the chimney and leaves gifts for everyone who's been good during the year!

[quickattackjack]

Only a few things! I'm a tinkerer but no artisan!

[quickattackjack]

I think I have, actually! In passing! They look like giant iron stoves!

[captainash]

Giant iron stoves that can punch things unconscious and fly using rockets. More appliances should have those abilities, really.

[loveisanopendoor]

I wouldn't exactly call someone's death very fun...

[video]

[awesmazings]

Oooh, you mean Santa Clause! Is Sandy Claws the version of Santa here in Johto?

But uh...I actually don't know! I haven't really thought about it lately.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

He does... huh?

[Hooo boy.

W-well, I'll just have to see then.

[corporal]

[ hm. he's intrigued. his birthday is christmas but he has no idea that christmas is a thing; not yet, anyway. ]

A tree? Just... to have? Do they plant it? [ that sounds stupid but he can't bring himself to react with complete dickbaggery to jack's enthusiasm so he's just frowning ]

[quickattackjack]

I should look into finding one of those! It could be nice to have a Golurk around this winter.

[quickattackjack]

OH--! Oh, no, it's only a story. No one has to actually die. Although being dead isn't so bad.

[quickattackjack]

I'm afraid Sandy Claws is just what I've always called him since I met him years ag--

_{[THAT ONE TIME I FUCKED UP REAL BAD.]}

Learned. About him. Years ago. You asked if you could lend a hand, right? I could use someone to help wrap gifts for the Pokemon! You can think about it then.

[loveisanopendoor]

Oh! Well, if it's just a murder mystery, like something Poe would write, then, yes, that would be a very interesting story to read!

[quickattackjack]

Oh, no, some people go chop one down and bring it home to decorate, but most people use fake ones these days. It's easier to clean up and they're less likely to catch on fire.

[quickattackjack]

Exactly like that! Have you ever thought of trying your hand at writing?

[loveisanopendoor]

Actually, I have! I read a lot of books back at my castle, so I think I'd really like to write something interesting and exciting...

[captainash]

I got my egg from the Breeding Center, ages ago. Maybe they still have a few.

[crackpotcrocker]

OH! You mean Santa Claus!

Mmmm. Interesting, haven't heard him being called that before - but that's besides the point!


To answer your question - A new tie or some science equipment of my very own.

What about you?

[quickattackjack]

That's fantastic! This world could use a good writer! I've sampled the horror selection here and it's...lacking. Lacking is a nice, friendly way to say it! Save one book I've found. A very old one called Dig.

[quickattackjack]

I work there from time to time! I should check!

[quickattackjack]

Good boots! I want to do some traveling this spring!
