11 days till Halloween [Action for anyone in Violet]

[ Anybody kicking around in Violet is bound to stumble upon THIS sorry sight if they're anywhere near the Tower bridge. He hasn't moved in...quite a while actually. Boohoo.]

[ Kay, with loyal Murkrow on his usual shoulder perch, pauses when she spots the figure she's really only ever seen on the gear. Does she keep walking? Does she realize his pensive posture means he might want to be left alone?

... Nope, there is now a thief stepping closer and leaning over his shoulder. ]

Anybody in there?

[Jack is so lost in BAWW WOE IS ME Land that if Kay had been an Ekans, he'dv done been bit! He gives a little jump and whips his head around to stare up at her.]

You--

[He starts to scold her but stops when her features click in his immediate memory. He holds his hands up to make a square to frame her face and squints at her through it. Looked just like she had on his Poke'Gear!]

--you're Kay!

[ Kay blinks, a little startled by the action, but once recognition strikes, she relaxes. And then salutes him cheerfully. ]

Live and life-size!

[Kay's cheerfulness is contagious. Jack had been pouting for quite a while so it was a welcome change. A lopsided grin crosses his own face as he tries to mimic her salute.]

It's nice to finally meet you!

[He offers a spidery hand for a shake, but she'll have to lean down because he's sure as hell not standing up. He's too achey.]

[ She doesn't seem to have a problem with this at all (probably because there isn't a lot that bothers Kay for more than three seconds), and obligingly leans down to shake his hand. ]

Same here! You learn a lot more when you meet someone in person! And it's good to see you, too, Hindenburg!

[ better believe that after her original EPIC FAIL with the Drifloon's name, she's remembering it now. ]

["Floooon!" He remembers Kay! The balloon pokemon drifts out from behind Jack and floats in bobbing circles around Kay and her Murkrow, thrilled with the attention.

Jack can't help but squint at Hindenburg a little. He hadn't been a very big help back there. Who ever heard of a cowardly ghost?]

I'm glad I got to meet you before you took off! I'm afraid I don't know much about you-- but if I'm going to be here for a while, I think it's time to get to know everyone.

[Jack wasn't unfriendly, but before, he hadn't wanted to get too cozy and then just disappear!]

[ With an affectionate grin, she raises a hand to give the little balloon a pat, while Byrne eyes it warily. She's got one of her own, but he's the most timid thing out there. ]

Well, I'm here to answer any and all questions, so if you've got any, fire away!

[ Kay's grin turns rueful. ] Since I don't really know much about you either, except that you were dead and you live in a really fun town.

[Jack scratches his head and finds a leaf in his hair that Hindenburg deposited as a 'gift' earlier.]

Well...what do you like to do here? Up until now, I've just been looking for a graveyard since sometimes you can get home that way. I have no idea what I'm doing now.

[He actually kind of failed at talking about himself. Everybody back home knew more about him than he would have liked. It sucked being a celebrity. Here, though, he was unknown (or so he thought). Maybe he could become someone new!]

I like to do everything! [ ... which isn't really an exaggeration at all, but she'll amend it. ] Training, eating out with my friends, checking out the town from the rooftops, traveling, seeing if any towns have secrets or treasures... I thought Sprout Tower would have something, but it was just a lot of ghosts and boring bald guys.

And pain. It's got plenty of that!

[If Jack were a meaner person, he would encourage people he didn't like to go into that God-forsaken building for a 'surprise'.]

I should really train more. I tried checking out that whole mess with the...ice? Diamonds? Something like that. And those strange black pokemon. And they-- [here, he concentrates, trying to remember that word he'd heard the younger trainers spouting back and forth.] wasted us.

[ Kay pats his shoulder sympathetically. ] If it helps, I got trapped in there for a week once.

[ AND SHE HAS NEVER GONE IN THERE AGAIN, but the past is the past. ] -- Oh, the crystals and the... letter things! They were kind of fun to spell things out, but there were a lot of them, huh? [ and she was kidnapped for the majority of that and missed most of the fun, boo. ] But if you need any help with training, I'm--

... well, Byrne trusts me to keep him in one piece!

[A goofy-sounding warble leaps into Jack's voice as he leans away from her at the idea.]

A WEEK? How did-- what did--

[This Kay character was tough. He wasn't sure he could survive being dragged up and down stairs for a week. But he was a newb at being human. Maybe they got tougher.]

Training? That'd be great.

[The ex-skeleton can't help but look embarrassed. He's fought some wild pokemon...but no trainers. Slacker!]

It's a long story, but the ghosts got bored and sent a bunch of people all over the place.

[ and then she got possessed and then they got chased by a Haunter and a Gastly stole her clothes and then a giant plant came in through the ceiling, IT WAS GOOD TIMES. ]

But yeah, I don't mind helping! I've got Murkrow and balloon experience!

[Jack winces, looking apologetic for his 'kind'...but then remembers that he and the ghost Pokemon here don't seem to have a lot in common.]

Eeesh. Once my back stops hurting, we should battle!

[ Kay nods cheerfully, giving him a thumbs up in response. ] It'll be a lot of fun!
