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.

Well in all my years of being here, I've never heard of anything like that happening in Goldenrod...but there's a first time for everything, isn't there?

[quickattackjack]

Ah! I misunderstood! Well, Christmas Eve is on the 24th and then Christmas Day is on the 26th. Most people celebrate both days!

But you know a lot! I'm sure we'll figure it out!

[captainash]

There is, though we're lucky in that this world usually prefers creating the first cat showers and shark tornadoes instead.

[ thoughtful pause. ]

What, exactly, does Christmas celebrate? What's its purpose?

[quickattackjack]

I think that depends on who you ask!

_{[Real helpful, Jack.]}

[quickattackjack]

That's it, that's the spirit! We'll get this done!

[quickattackjack]

Mmm. Yes. Next year, maybe they'll think to invent a giraffe geyser.

[captainash]

A giraffe geyser.

[A beat.]

...With Girafarigs, or a brand new species of giraffe? Because both options seem equally likely right now.

[ LOL it's fair enough, esp since Levi is just as unhelpful but really, he's sitting here like... 'my birthday. That's it. That's what's important about Christmas bc it should all be about me tbh.' ]

Maybe I'll have to get more opinions. Well. [ Here there's a pause, as though saying this is physically painful for him cuz wow. ] Thanks. For answering all those questions.

[quickattackjack]

Any time!

[quickattackjack]

Oh, who even knows with this place?

[captainash]

Chances are we'll find out sooner or later, anyway.
