25 days till Halloween [video]
[The feed opens with THE SUN. It holds the great fiery sky-star center frame for a good half minute before anyone starts talking. The audio no longer warps as Jack is using a shiny new 'gear.]
Do you see that, people? That is the sun and it is glorious. Never ever forget how wonderful it is.
[The camera flips back around to show Jack's face and he looks...some kind of rough. He's got bags under his eyes and his color is a bit off--even for him. Even that goofy Exeggutor-print Hawaiian shirt isn't enough to make him look like his cheerful self. He blanks for a moment, as if he's forgotten why he even turned his 'gear on.]
OH! I'm finally out of that cave--er. Well. I suppose you can see that, huh? Dash and I made it safely to Azalea with the help of Mr. Cooper's Noctowl. Thank you so much, sir! I still owe you!
It's nice here.
[Edgar flaps into the frame and lands on her trainer's shoulder, butting her head against his neck. She's worreid about him.]
I've...forgotten what else I was going to say. I'm so tired. I think I'm going to stay here in the Pokemon Center for a little while.
Have I missed anything? My poke'gear...malfunctioned while I was in the cave.

[Action] /so late I'm sorry bro ;A; I WILL GET BETTER
She's spent a good hour doing just that around Azalea, and she had some time to think. Eventually, she remembered... eggs. She had been offered two, and requested that they be sent to Azalea.
Horsefeathers-- What if they had hatched while they were trapped in Union Cave? She has to bring her flight break to a stop, to check on the eggs... and Jack. She should check on Jack too. c:
She steps into the Center somewhat reluctantly-- dang enclosed spaces again-- Gilda the Skarmory trailing after her. Just in time to hear a bit of Jack's message, too. She sidles up to him and nudges his arm.]
Heeeey, c'mon, man! You can't stay cooped up in here when we just got back out into open air!
[Action] SHH ITS GONNA BE OKAY SILLY FILLY
Oh, you can just watch me.
[Jack turns from his technicolor traveling buddy and lays down right there on the bench with his face against the back. Very mature.]
I'm not an outdoors man, I don't think.
[Action] I-IF YOU SAY SO. ;n; /FLOPS ONTO
But you've gotta... Ugh, whatever. [Le sigh.] Laze around all you want. But while you're hanging out in here, I'm gonna go scope this place! [Lies-- she'll probably end up napping like a pro herself.]
But first things first... [She half-jogs over to the other side of the Center, and starts up what seems to be a little chat with one of the workers.
BRB Jack, picking up some eggs! Meanwhile, have a Gilda fluttering up onto the bench to sit with you! She's not... the best snuggling material, but hey.]
[Action] I KNOW SO
[GRUMP GRUMP GRUMP]
If I ever see another rock or hear another o-oddish again, it'll be too so-OOHN! [COLD BIRD. COLD POINTY BIRD] Gilda! Not now!
[Action] THANKS BRO. ;A;
Ugh, tell me about it... That, or another Zubat. [Oh, and there's Dash! Huh, that was fast. She's carrying two Pokemon eggs in her arms-- one orange, the other blue and red. She frowns at the stubbornly perched Skarmory.] ... Geez, Gilda, leave him alone already. [A grin.] Don't give him even more stuff to whine about. Heh! [SHE KIDS, SHE KIDS.]
[Action]
So help me I'll cover you in fridge magnets...
[When Dash came back, Jack decided to ignore her teasing in favor of being curious about the eggs.]
Where did those come from?
[Action]
Some guys were just handin' them out over the 'gear a while back! Said they needed good homes, so I took 'em up on the offer, 'cause I'm an awesome trainer and all that. [She takes a seat on the floor, one egg on each knee.] And guess what! One of them's supposed to be a dragon type! And I dunno about the other one, but I'm sure it'll be awesome!! [Eeeeeee! She is clearly very excite.]
[Action]
Well that was nice of them.
[See this, Gilda? THIS IS JACK IGNORING YOU.]
You'll finally get your dragon!
[Action]
And Gilda does not approve of being ignored! >8C
She starts to pluck at his clothes with her beak.]
... Gilda! Geez, knock it off, metalhead. We're trying to have a conversation here!
[Action]
[STILL IGNORING YOU, GILDA. IN FACT. TALKING ABOUT YOU LIKE YOU'RE NOT EVEN THERE. WHAT NOW?]
This town is a little bigger than Violet. I wonder what kind of jobs are here.
[Action]
Yyyyeah, that'd be kinda freaky. [Biggest understatement of the year-- it's Doc with more pointy edges.] Her name definitely suits her... But at least she's not the best flyer yet. [Oh dear, the Skarmory pretty much grew up in Union Cave. Wh-what if she can't fly at all?!]
... Huh, I wasn't even thinking about that. [Jobs, that is. Because all that was on Dash's mind was "freedom" and "gym battle".] Ya think there'll be something better than store clerk and Center worker? 'Cause, I mean... I'm not takin' that job again!
