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.

_{[Jack's face lights up as she talks. What a brilliant writing idea! Why...he could do something like that! Perhaps he could combine that, with his Summer Project.]}

I must see if this world has an equivalent to The Castle of Ortanto! Dig is a psychological thriller about a man who found himself mysteriously unable to find his way out of Diglett Cave--a cave in Kanto that's incredibly small and easy to traverse. I won't spoil it for you!

I'm sure if you look hard enough you can find a story like that! It was a real trendsetter, you know! Like, it inspired a whole big genre, so it's gotta be good!

But goodness, that sounds like a pretty crazy situation...if the cave is so small, he must be freaking out that he's trapped inside.

[Not that she necessarily blames the guy for being spooked by being in the same place for extended periods of time!]

I'll have to look into it! Maybe Santa will bring it to me as a gift!

Ahahah! I'm excited now! These lights can't string themselves up fast enough.

_{[At the next thing she says, Jack can only grin. It's his quest to shove a copy of that book into the hands of everyone he can.]}

Maybe he will.
