10 days till Halloween [video]

[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....]

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.]

I'm a skeleton. They're ghosts. I just figured...

A skele--

[Wait.]

[...WHAT.]

Wait a second--Jack, are you...are you from a place called Halloween Town?

[Jack perks up a little and swaps to Video mode. He's got a few scratches on his chin and leaves in his hair. Scary.]

DB> Yes! Do you know it?

[Maybe Phoenix was somebody from there as well and just...had better tact when it came to being a dork over getting cuts or seeing weird colorful shit everywhere.]

[...okay, this is seriously creepy. Who the heck ELSE was here? Minnie Mouse?

...thank god he never asked for her name.]

Of course I know it! I mean, anyone in my generation...everyone knows about Halloween Town. Er, I mean...[This isn't awkward at all.] Where I come from, there's a movie about you. The Nightmare Before Christmas. It's pretty much a cult classic.

[Jack's battered brow furrows as he lets that soak in...]

I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about.

[Oh-- oooh somebody was PLAYING DUMB. How could Phoenix kno-- well...he guessed the whole damn WORLD knew how he screwed up that one December. The military had been involved after all. It was a raw wound on his conscience. He liked to pretend it didn't happent. ;-; Ffffffff. ]

[...sorry, Jack, you can't lie to a lawyer. B| ;; ]

Hey, er...I know it's kind of awkward, but...you DID say you were from Halloween Town.

[Jack stumbles all over his words.]

Well-- Yes, I am but--Technically, that was-- _{does everybody know about that? I'm so sorry!}

H-hey, it's okay, Jack. Settle down, okay? _{At least things got better in the end, right?} [Awkward comforting is awkward.]

[Jack coughs and tries to pull himself back together.]

R-right. Anyway...the ghosts here are nothing like my ghosts. I feel like an idiot.

[Leave it to Jack to try and shake hands with a being that had no hands and a perpetual >B) face.]

Anyone could'be told you that, Jack. They're Pokémon. But...er, don't be too hard on yourself. You were just trying to get back home. _{No one can blame you for that.}
