_{[Jack is cleaning out one of the storage closets in the mansion when his 'gear goes off. When he appears on the screen the old man is grinning from ear to ear.]}

She's perfect! I'll pay you back if you pick it up for me--no matter the cost!

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy turns the camera back to himself, sporting a wide grin of his own.]

Can do, if my travelmates don't smash it in horror before I can send it back to Goldenrod.

What do you think you'll do with it?

[quickattackjack]

Hmmmm

_{[Jack taps his chin, thoughts suddenly drifting elsewhere as a sly smile crosses his face. Leaving it in random places around the base sounded like GREAT fun.]}

Keep her by the front desk, I think.

[exeggutorhead]

What if you tied a string around her and had her drop from the ceiling by the front desk?

[The grin gets wider.]

[quickattackjack]

Perhaps. I wouldn't want to risk her getting broken though. Maybe I can convince a Pokemon to puppet her.

Envy! You've just given me a fantastic idea for this year's theme!

[exeggutorhead]

Oh yeah?

What, clown babies?

[quickattackjack]

A haunted toy store! Toys that are scary on purpose this time!

[exeggutorhead]

Ha! That'll be great--

Wait, what do you mean "this time"? Have you been trying to make toys that weren't scary?

[HE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. HE WANTS DEETS.]

[quickattackjack]

<sub>[Jack had been cackling to himself, already in love with the idea, already scrawling plans in his head--when Envy's question gets him to freeze, mouth still open.]

[!!!]</sub>

That's not important. Can I count on you to be my costume designer again this year?

[exeggutorhead]

[If Jack thinks Envy's not going to hone the fuck in on that suspicious reaction he's got another think coming.]

Well yeah, of course, I could do a lot with making people look like cracked porcelain or moldy stuffed animals...

[A significant pause. He could just be thinking about costumes. Jack could be off the hook.]

[But he's not.]

Are you sure it's not important? Because it looked like it might be important.

[DEETS DEETS DEETS]

[quickattackjack]

_{[Jack is ALL for launching right into ideas with Envy, but he knows he's been caught. He heaves a sigh and rubs at the soft spots under the rims of his glasses.]}

I may have tried my hand at holidays other than Halloween and things didn't go so well. I have one aesthetic. One.

[exeggutorhead]

[HE CAVED. The expression Envy's face can only be categorized as delight.]

Which holiday?

Not Valentine's Day, I'm hoping.

[He's actually not hoping because that would improve Valentine's Day by 5000 percent as far as he's concerned. But that doesn't have much to do with toys, either...]

[quickattackjack]

_{[Envy's excitement only gets a long, grim blink from Jack. He's not angry, it's just. Dammit Envy. ENVY DON'T YOU KNOW HOW SERIOUS HIS MURDER DUCK SHAME IS!!!]}

Christmas. Turns out what my friends and I think is jolly and what the rest of the world thinks is jolly are two very different things.

[exeggutorhead]

[KIDS THESE DAYS, NO RESPECT FOR CRIMES.]

Oh no.

I dunno, I think the whole Santa thing could do with some added flair.

[Envy is one of those hot topic teenagers who thinks that literally every holiday should be Halloween.]

[quickattackjack]

That's what I thought as well! But I suppose not everyone is fit to wear the boots and beard...and coat...and sleigh.

_{[He frowns thoughtfully.]}

I do wonder what happened to those reindeer Finklestein made me...
