6 days till Halloween [video]

[quickattackjack]

[The video is very shaky and blurry at first but eventually focuses on...Jack's hand. There is a thin cut stretching across his palm which bleeds freely. Behind it is the beach.]

This is the most amazing thing! Look! Look at this! I can feel the nerves firing off and-- everything! Wow! Hah!



...ow.


I cut it on this--

[He tilts the Poke'Gear down to show a bit of broken seashell in the sand by his feet. Edgar is nowhere to be seen.]

Well, it's not blood in particular. I'm no vampire. It's just, I'm not used to having skin is all. I used to be a skeleton and now I'm...un-undead?

Is that a term?

I feel like a pioneer!

[He's a bit disappointed, but...]

A living skeleton? Really now?

[Well, Grell's world has angels, demons and death gods, so the thought of the living dead isn't too hard to imagine for him.]

[quickattackjack]

That's right. I'd be really grateful if you could get back to me if you happened across any graveyards or tombs? I've been looking for once since I arrived and haven't found anything.

I know about a place called Sprout Tower that's supposed to be in the next town over. There are supposed to be ghosts there.

[Jack is content to blather on about his failtastic plan of 'finding the others' and 'going home'.]

They do seem to be scarce around here.

You did hear correctly. There was a recent infestation of Gastlys and a few Haunters at the tower...although I'm not certain if they are still there.

Had something impaired your nerves previously?

[video] ... I just realized. Favorite musical of my childhood, meet my favorite grownup musical.

Johto. That's what that kid said-- Johto...



... okay. I'll play their game. Whatever it may be... it's gotta be better than sitting around here.

[quickattackjack]

Well, to be honest, I don't think I had any!

[video] WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN TWO WORLDS COLLIDE?

[quickattackjack]

I wish you the best of luck!

STAY AWAY FROM LEDGES. Trust an old ghost on this, alright?

No, it's fine. C'mon, Pidge, have a berry. [At the sound of that, the bird flutters down onto Phoenix's wrist and starts nibbling away at the berry in the palm of his hand.]

I haven't actually met him, so I don't know...but how many people around here can be called Snake, really? [Like you're one to talk.]

[video] IF I HAD TO GUESS? INSANITY. and also rape of my childhood. in the best way.

[zdealer.livejournal.com]

... right, yeah. Okay. Whatever you say.

[quickattackjack]

[Jack looks thoughtful of Phoenix's question until he finally comes up empty. The old man shrugs expressively.]

You've got me there.

[cheapblusuits.livejournal.com]

Like I can talk, really. [He laughs a bit.]

...say, Jack. How are long you going to stay in Cherrygrove for?

[yessir-esper.livejournal.com]

How curious. So they were fixed upon entry into this world?

[Does not quite understand..."not have any" just yet]

[quickattackjack]

I guess you could say that! I'm excited to try pretty much everything.

[quickattackjack]

[Jack rubs his chin thoughtfully.]

Well...I don't know, for sure. I was planning on staying around here a little while to rest up, maybe learn something. But I have to get to that tower.

[brave-phantom.livejournal.com]

The sensation won't be thrilling for long, Jack. Pain is what kept humans alive in the first place.

Are you okay? You may want to wash the cut out and bandage it.

[cheapblusuits.livejournal.com]

Really? I guess I'm just...waiting for some of my friends to catch up. [He shrugs.] I don't want to leave my daughter her alone, either. I don't want her travelling any farther by herself. [...he looks a bit thoughtful for a second, then gives Jack a sidelong glance.] You're welcome to travel with us, if you'd like? [I think someone doesn't want to be the only responsible adult in his travelling group.]

--wait, what tower?

;-; OH MY GOD IM SO SORRY FOR THE WAIT. Shit got crazy at my house.

[quickattackjack]

[Jack stops fiddling with the straps on his big long enough to look up. It takes a moment for the invitation to sink in, but when it does, he breaks into a wide, toothy grin.]

That would be wonderful!

[And somebody doesn't want to end up spending three hours trying to catch a stump that WAS 100% TOTALLY a Hoothoot earlier. In the wilderness. He's still not totally confidant in his pokemoning OR humaning skills.]

Yes! Sprout Tower in Violet City. It's supposed to have ghosts and I'm going there for answers.
