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....]

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.

[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.

[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]

[darkenedgales]

... Okay. So. I'm talking to a dead guy. [Not for the first time, too. He seems a little wary now, though.] ... But you're not a Dark Signer or anything, right?

Aaand if you're looking for the door leading to the Underworld or a similar thing, trust me, you won't find it there. Also those ghosts are a bunch of jerks, so no use asking them.

[quickattackjack]

Ex-dead...possibly about to be un-undead? Re-dead?

[Jack trails off and starts puzzling aloud over what term he falls under because he's a dork like that. FOR SCIENCE.]

I haven't heard of a Dark Signer. What kind of monster is that?

[He starts to question his plan since Crow has been in here before but...damn if he isn't optimistic!]

[video]

[darkenedgales]

[From the look on Crow's face, it's rather easy to tell that for the love of Quetzalcoatl, he doesn't even want to know.]

... They're not monsters, just-- Uh. [Zombies with evil Peruvian gods sealed in their heads. Sure, of course it sounds completely plausible.] Y'know what, never mind.

Anyway, er. Try to come back in one piece...? [Optimistic could kill you! Bad pun.]

[video]

[quickattackjack]

I'll sure try. I hope you find Japan!

[video]

[darkenedgales]

Uh, right, thanks.

... Oh yeah, I'm Crow Hogan. You're...? [Just so he knows whose dead body to look for around the tower if he doesn't succeed.]

[video]

[quickattackjack]

Crow is an interesting name. [He adds that to his mental list along with Phoenix and Snake. Jack's a bit of a geek about unique names, having never met humans before that weren't called things like Howard and Janet.]

The name's Jack Skellington!

[video]

[darkenedgales]

Thanks... I guess. [Believe or not, but no one has pointed that out to him before.]

Well, nice to meetcha, Ja--

... 'Jack', huh. [Crow is now positive every single Jack in the universe is a retard. That, or it's just his luck.]
