10 days till Halloween [video]

[quickattackjack]

[Boop!  Today, Jack's feed focuses on a much more alert and determined face than his last video. His pokemon are healed, his spirits are high, and he is ready to prove to everyone that he is totally not zubatshit insane! Behind him looms the Sprout Tower, silhouetted by the sinking sun.]

Good mor--er afternoon! I have finally made it to the tower! It reminds me of home so much. The ghosts inside are going to point me the way home, but if I find a way back, I'll definitely visit! You have all been such wonderful company and great help! Edgar, are you ready?

[The Murkrow pops into the frame with her GAME FACE on. She has no idea what Jack's babbling about but she's seen some ratatta rustling around the grass at the tower's base and she's ready to go kick some purple rodent ass. "KROW!"]

Everyone take care!


[Oh, he'll be back....]

... They're gonna show you home?

Can they do that?

_{[Like, she knew there were GHOSTS, but... would they know how to do that?]}

[quickattackjack]

Heather! I'm glad you caught me!

[Behind him, the inside of the Tower can be seen. He's actually video-chatting while CLIMBING A LADDER.]

Aww, I'll miss you. How'v you been?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[Aw, he was sweet, but that... still didn't answer her question. Oh well. Maybe he knew what he was doing.]}

Uh-- ... been better, for lack of a more clever way of saying it.

Things have been crazy.

S'cool now, though.

It's good to hear things are looking up. I hope they stay that way! Hold on.

[The view goes kind of WHAT THE FUCK CLOVERFIELD as Jack tosses the 'Gear up onto the floor above him so he can use both hands to climb up.]

[... This again?]

Mr. Jack, are you quite sure this will work?

[voice]

[quickattackjack]

[Oh, yes! This again!]

I've got a feeling in my bones it will. You've been a great friend, Shelly!

[Go ahead and faceplam, Shelly. You have every right to.]

[voice]

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

[Luckily, he's in a patient mood right now.]

A-- W-Well, thank you, I suppose.

... They're home-guiding ghosts?! Sweetie never did anything like that!

[ video ]

[quickattackjack]

Hello! It's been a while! Well, I've got a theory it might work for me. I used to be dead. Can't hurt to try!

[ video ]

[yattagarasu.livejournal.com]

You used to be--

... Whaaaaaaaaaat?!?

[ video ]

[quickattackjack]

It's--uh-- a long story! But don't worry, I'm not contagious or anything!

_{I don't think.}

[video]

[totesaladder.livejournal.com]

Wait-- the ghosts in that tower know how to get home?! But Misty doesn't do that!

[video]

[quickattackjack]

I'm not 100% but I've got a good feeling! If I don't come back out, it worked!

[Or he like...fell down a ladder. And died. Again.]

[video]

[totesaladder.livejournal.com]

Good luck, Jack! Let us know if you're successful! That way, I can get Misty to take me home!

[video]

[darkenedgales]

I hate to break it to you, but I spent an entire week in that damned tower and none of ghosts there were of any help in finding the way home, so... Don't get your hopes up.

[Voice]

[quickattackjack]

[The audio is scratchy]

Where's your home? Where I live, most of the people are dead, so I think the ghosts here might at least point me in the general direction.

[video]

[darkenedgales]

I live in Japa---

...............

D-DEAD?!

... Please tell me you're kidding.

[video]

[quickattackjack]

Well maybe not MOST...maybe half of us. I was a skeleton. These other ghouls are sure to know what I'm talking about.

[Jack has gotten used to explaining himself by now, so the story sounds a little pre-recorded.]

[video]

[magictricking.livejournal.com]

You're going in there!?

[audio with slight popping and buzzing in the feedback]

[quickattackjack]

[Jack's reply is very, very delayed. Hours worth delayed. Next day's worth delayed. He's usually so quick about messages!]


Went....don't. Don't. Don't. Don't.

[He sounds completely worn out and maybe a little shellshocked.]

[audio]

[magictricking.livejournal.com]

[Yep, that's worrying.]

Wh-why? What happened? Are you okay!?

[audio]

[quickattackjack]

[Another delay, though nowhere near long as the first.]

The ghosts in the tower know their tricks. I'm still in one piece though.

[video]

[cheapblusuits.livejournal.com]

Wha--Jack? [And with that one word he manages to fit in every WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT vibe ever created.]

[voice reply]

[quickattackjack]

[SUPER DELAYED REPLY as Jack decided to shove the Poke'Gear in his bag after getting back out of the tower and pass out. He sounds whipped.]

False alarm, Phoenix. It's not the way out of here.

[voice in return]

[cheapblusuits.livejournal.com]

Why did you even think there would be a way out there in the first place?

--you sound like you've been through the mill, Jack. Was the tower that bad? [And now he sounds concerned, as per usual.]
