16 days till Halloween [video/action]

_{[The video opens with...a blurry screen. It looks like somebody has fogged up the 'Gear's lens or spritzed it with water. THEN ALL GOES BLACK and lots of annoying creaky plastic sounds assault your ears. When the picture clears, all is revealed!

It's day time. People are playing in the snow and laughing on the other side of the Violet cafe windows. BUT ALL IS NOT WELL IN THIS WINTER WONDERLAND.

Have a very...unhappy looking Jack squinting at you. His nose has gone red, his eyes are puffy, and his hair looks like he's been attacked by a rabid pikachu. He is wearing no less than three sweaters and they are all fugly. The Pumpkin King has caught his very first cold. D'awww. ]}

Hhhkhhg--I'll give-- I'll give anyone who brings me some cold medicine one of my potions. Or lunch. And my undying appreciation. I'll name my next Pokemon after you this is dreadful!

O-oh before I fhhggorget! Minni Mouse! I have your Christmas gift!

There was something else but I forgo'd what I was talking about--

_{[The screen is suddenly covered by an explosive sneeze. Classy.]}

Jack! Oh my goodness! You need to be in bed! Forget my present, i'll make you some soup!

[worry worry worry worry ;A; ]

_{[Jack cracks an embarrassed grin. After ALL the teasing he's done to Phoenix, now he's the one who's out of sorts.]}

Minni! How are you? I think I will go to bed once I rent a hotel room. Everyone I've spoken to says the one in town is nice..._{but that involves walking through the snow}

_{[;-; Jack's been bumming it up in the great outdoors or Pokemon Center benches for the most part.]}

I'll give you the money if you need it... You really must get some rest, you poor dear!

Oh, I've got money! I've been saving up. I guess I'm just stubborn.

_{[AND A DERP.]}

I'll take you up on that soup though!

I'll get to work on it right away!

Y-you should probably get inside if you're sick!

The cafe is nice and warrrghm though! What I dread is heading back out.

... Bless you.

Thank you.

I guess skeletons don't get colds, huh? You should head somewhere to rest.

We sure don't. I've never had sinuses before. My head feels like a bowling ball.

Has anyone ever tried using your head as a bowling ball, though?

[what, he was curious!] Seriously though, are you near the center? They'll have stuff there to help you feel better.

_{[JACK USED BLANK STARE. But then, his grin returned.]}

You know what? They have, actually. It was one particularly wild Halloween, if I remember correctly.

I'm in the little cafe. I haven't quite made my way back over that way. It's so cold outside! I never knew just how cold Snow was! I mean, I understood it was frozen water but...just look at it!

_{[RAMBLE RAMBLE RAMBLE]}

Aw, man... I wish I could have been there for that Halloween. And, I know how you feel! This is the first time I've ever seen snow.

Have you made snow angels yet? Be careful!

_{[For this was how Jack ended up with his cold. He spied the fluffy whiteness drifting down yesterday morning and just kind of...ran out into it without his jacket or anything and ended up face-down in a snowdrift. Graceful as always.]}

[... that sounds like the ideal method to make snow angels, definitely.]

No, not yet! I think I'm gonna go do that right now, actually.

[ ..... ]

_{[SAY! That long-suffering silence is familiar!]}

Snake, is that you?

Yeah.

You sound like crap.

Well, that's one way to put it.

_{[Grumpy skeleton was grumpy!]}

Go inside, Mr. Jack. [Line. Face.] Staying outside won't help you at all.

O-oh, I'm inside! Inside the cafe here. Haha, I'm not THAT crazy. _Promise.

_{[He leans a little so that his reflection can be seen in the window.]}

That's good to hear...

_{[The answering Heather looks a little gloomy, but not so gloomy she can't wrinkle her nose and snort at the grand finish to his transmission.]}

... Got a cold?

Off cor'd not!

Dude, you totally do.

... Have you ever even HAD a cold before?

No. No, I have not. And id's HORRIBUHL.

_{[Pffft look at him trying to be mad. He can't even see straight.]}

_{[SORRY JACK HEATHER IS KIND OF LAUGHING AT YOU.]}

_{[ 8(...8(...DB< !!!!]}

HEY! Are you-- are you laughing over thuh-- huurhhCHOOOH!

I am a bit too far to help, sadly.

Oh well. YOU try to stay well, alright?

Of course. [Triiies to disguise his coughing.]

[FGLGDHLF JACK WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU'VE BEEN WORRYING THIS GUY.]

Wh--

[...blink.]

Er. Bless you.

...Jack, please tell me you're inside? _{Actually, wait--where ARE you?}

_{[Jack does his best to look excited! He missed Phoenix! But he feels so crappy ;-;]}

Thank you. And yes, I'm inside! Why has everyone asked that!

_{[Probably because they saw you running around without a coat and making snowangelsderps outside the Pokemon Center.

He turns the camera a little to show the inside of a little cafe. Some fokls have the right idea and are sharing hot soup with their pokemon.]}

I'm in Violet...where are you?. Edgeworth messaged me the other day and suddenly THREE DAYS had gone by and everyone's all mixed up!

...no reason. [Oh my god Jack you are such a derp why does he even...just have an exasperated sigh and a slow shake of the head. But is he grinning? Yes, he is! Because despite it all, he missed you and your fail, Jack.

And, well to answer your question...] I'm all the way in Goldenrod. It looks like we _{more or less} passed out for three days...and most of us woke up in entirely different towns. [Not going to mention that he sort of fell out of a tree when HE woke up.]

_{[Jack opens his mouth but shuts it, stifling a cough.]}

Oh, no... It looks like I've got some traveling a head of me.

You're not going anywhere until you get over that cold. [Deadpan. Stare.

...although, there IS that shortcut from Goldenrod to Violet...if Phoenix could get his Gym badge, he could probably go pick Jack up...hmm.]

Edited 2010-12-11 18:52 (UTC)

I have this strange sense of deija vu...

_{[The skeleton is 100% aware of the irony at hand.]}

I hear you loud and clear. I'm going to go book a hotel room and stay there until I can brea'd through my nose again. What's Goldenrod like?

You're not the only one. [Orz, why...oh, well. He'll see about that Gym, and if he wins, guess who's going to make a short detour to pick you up, my friend.]

Goldenrod is... [Well, how do you describe a town like Los Angeles to soemone who's never BEEN in a big city before?] Er, well, it's a lot like Violet, only much busier and with more buildings. And more people.

_{...I think it might just be me, but it seems a lot brighter, too...}

It sounds nice! I've only seen it through the 'Gear when talking to people.

I never thought I'd say this, but I could go for something bri-- bri--CHOOOOH! ........_brighter.

It's a big improvement from Violet, definitely.

--bless you. [A bit of a chuckle.]

_{[He mimics Phoenix's chuckle but he's not bitter! After ALL THE TEASING he's done to Phoneix, he knows good and well he's gotten his.]}

Thank you....how long do these last? _{I've never had one before.}

--what, a cold? Anywhere from a few days to a month, depending on what kind you've got... [This is not reassuring, Phoenix.]

Just going by what I've seen, I think yours will clear up soon enough. _{I think.}

_{[Jack lets out a pitiful wheeze and sinks back down onto his bed. SULK.]}

I don't have a month. I need to catch up with you!

With any luck, you'll be better in a few days. Don't push yourself, alright, Jack?

...that might be the least of your concerns, though, if it keeps snowing like this. _{I hope we don't get snowed in...}

_{[D: SNOWED IN....Jack wasn't going to hear any more of this! He was going to get better ON THE DOUBLE.

He was going to do this by pulling the covers over his head. Which he did.

Yeah.]}

[...aww, Jack. Phoenix chuckles, but his look is sympathetic.]

Just stay indoors and you'll be fine.
