✈ fifth snowy flight ❄ — video (both courts)
[The locket seems to be set up on a counter in a bedroom in the Station. To the side of the screen, there appears to be a small miniature ice sculpture of a pine tree, sparkling from the glow of the fireplace in the far background. Jack makes final adjustments in angling the locket just right to show off his crystal art project as well as his own smirking face.]
Alright, there's a whole ton of you out there that are either old and ancient or from some weird world that never got to know the cool Earth holidays, so lucky you — I'm here to provide you with a little Q&A on what Christmas is.
It doesn’t make any sense. It’s Father Christmas’s birthday but … not his birthday, too? Why is he giving out gifts for some other guy? [ OH, LOOK, one confused Viking is sitting on the bed. Hiccup gestures animatedly. ] Jack, your gods aren’t making any sense, even Loki’s more organised than this.
[The winter spirit rolls his eyes, waving a hand to hush the man behind him, keeping his attention on the locket instead of addressing him.]
The point is: you set up a ton of colorful lights around, you toss up a big tree to get sap all over your fingers, and then you find presents underneath it on the morning of the 25th. [That’s about the gist of it, right?] Look, I’m not big on bribing kids with gifts, but it does get people slacking off from all that serious crap so they can run outside and make a snowman or something. Gotta give it props for that.
So, basically, it’s Snoggletog without Thor. [ Flatly voiced from the peanut gallery. ] Boy, does that sound like a hoot.
No, no. [He finally turns his back to face Hiccup, shaking a pointed finger at him.] Don’t compare it to your aggressive “missing toes” Viking catastrophe of a holiday. [Turning back to the locket:] Just to be clear — mistletoe, that little plant that’s hung up everywhere on ceilings during the month, means you kiss the person you’re caught under it with — it’s not for punching them, as some people believe.
[ Wow, Hiccup’s just going to fold his arms right now. So rude. ]
I could always dredge up the will to punch you, if you’re getting tired of hanging out under mistletoe and suffering the other option.
[ No, he couldn’t. But he can say he might!! ]
Uh huh, sure. [With a momentary deadpan expression, Jack finally just shrugs with a sigh.] Anyway, I know the guy who hands out the presents, been in his secret lair in the North Pole and everything, so if you want to know more about elves — the small critter-like ones who don’t actually wrap the presents — or yetis, caroling and eggnog, whatever, I can fill in all the blanks for you.
[A pause before he adds:] Just do me a favor, be a pal, and run out to play in the snow for a bit, got it?
Excuse you, I am known for my incredibly artistic Snow Furies, Jack. Just because I don’t go prancing around yelling about how great winter is doesn’t mean I don’t know how to have fun.
First of all, I was talking to them, not you. Second, winter is great and I don’t think you understand how—
I’m Jack Frost, I can’t help kissing aaaall the snowflakes because I’m in love with them—
[The bickering continues for however long. Interruptions for questions would be more than welcome at this point.]

Jack Frost. Aaaalright, you're definitively an improvement over the snowman. [He would've expected a long beard though.] Should you really go through the, ah, religious side of Christmas? I don't think even Earth people remember that.
[Video]
First of all, that's a pretty decent Hiccup impersonation, I'll give you that. [Who woulda thunk that anyone could pull that off!]
And yes, keep it clear. Jack Frost makes snowmen. He isn't one. [Oh, how many misunderstandings he's had of his image.] And I don't dwell on the religion part too much, but some people know the phrases and names better like that.

video; i can use subject lines honest
Well, you know, I'm still pretty much confused about. Everything that's going on in here right now. I think. But great effort! [ It is 100% possible for someone to say that in a non-insulting, sarcasm-free capacity. Bolin just proved it. ] I like the whole... secretly living in the North Pole thing. It's a pretty good place to keep a secret lair. I mean, I think maybe someone having a lair at all sounds kinda creepy, but it's cool.
[ His ex-girlfriend lives in the North Pole. Big ice palace deal.
She's terrifying and would definitely probably call it a lair. ]
video;
Well, it's less a lair and more a workshop, but I tried breaking into it for years and kept getting kicked out everytime so it's very lair-material.

Holidays... [ she knows she doesn't have this right and it's making her feel crazy but she wants to know, so she'll ask ] Are holidays meant to honor important people? On their birthdays?
[ they don't have any of this in her world wompwomp. and now she seems a little concerned. this just in: gladers don't know how to have fun ]
Do we have to play in the snow? Or kiss people under the mistletoe? What happens if we don't?

Should I be surprised you know Santa? And what's a Snow Fury?
You put together a decent list at least. It's a start but you're missing the best parts. [He might have to keep this in mind to show Sansa later if she's still curious. Bolin, too.]

A Night Fury made of snow. They can get pretty big if you make them to scale.

[ a smile ]
except for the punching. and maybe except for the potential of the kissing as sometimes you can kiss someone and they would hit you because they are not interested, not saying that I would hit you if you do - of course I wouldn't, not me.
--- not that I want to be kissed either!!
[ stop her anytime. ]
video »
There isn't some invisible force that makes you do any actual kissing unless you wanted to. Like everything else, it's all in good fun. Course, nothing'll stop you from punching either.

Anything that reminds her of her childhood is a welcome distraction and Jack Frost happens to have that quality. Alice stares at this hollowly for few minutes until she responds.
She thinks it's funny, she thinks it's cute. She just can't really express it. At least on the 8th she can actually move around. ]
As much as a pummelling is well deserved, usually Christmas is hallmarked as a peaceful holiday.
[ And ever so blandly. ]
Just don't kill him.

Trust me, there'll be snowball fights for sure, but the holiday's going to all be super cheesy and loving and all that good stuff.

Excuse me, but... what is a snowman?

What, you've never never seen one before? Three giant snowballs stacked on each other, pebbles used to decorate the top one to make it into a face, carrot for a nose? Never?
Celebrate the season that kills the most young? fffff WHY DO?!
but snooooooow!!

You are supposed to offer sacrifices of your food and livestock and works to the gods, not sacrificing or giving it away to children. [What does tossing up a tree mean anyway? Cut one down and use it in tests of strength? That sounds like something her kin would do, anyway... oh, maybe it was the log burning ritual he meant.
Don't mind her, she's not an expert on Germanic festivals anyway.]
And mistletoe is for protection.
[That one she does know.]
[Wait, they set fire to the log when the presents are underneath it?
Grainne's just looking all kinds of confused here.]

[ WHICH IS SILLY but he can get why. Gross times. ]

video;
Do you get presents for everyone you know? Are there special foods I should make?
video;
If you want to. The way most people look at presents is to kind of tell people "yo, I care about you, here's something that says so", so you don't really have to give them to everyone. As for food — let me think. There's a yule log? It's a sort of cake to represent the actual log people burn on Christmas sometimes. There's like a thousand ways to make it though.

But by the time the bickering starts, she's mostly forgotten what pinged her to watch in the first place and grown to wearing a large smile on her face in amusement to the scene. These two didn't seem all that bad though so she eventually replies, not trying to hold back her laughter as she does.]
What are you two trying to do? If you're advertising Christmas, I don't think it's really working.

You say it's not working, but it's catching people's attention isn't it?

[ he's trying he swears he is. what the hell are the lights he's talking about? ]
I've got the whole "playing in the snow" thing down, [ guess what he, Colette, and Genis did on their first visit to the Flanoir continent ] but what about the guy that gives out presents? He actually has elves working for him?
video;
Yes. Well, no. Sort of. The story is there are elves who work all year long making presents for kids and then on the 25th of this month, the big guy works all night to deliver them. But what the stories don't say is that it's really a bunch of yetis that make presents for kids. [This all totally makes sense, right?]
video;
Video
[#PRIORITIES]
But this sounds like a great holiday! Everyone loves presents! But who is this person that gives them out?
[This sounds like--WELL CHRISTMAS!]
Video
Of course, he's not here in the Drabwurld, so I guess that just means it's up to everyone gifting each other. Unless there's some weird Fairy Santa in this world.
i'm laughing because fairies are canonically terrible at xmas
ehehe no disaster here then
oh geez sorry for late, holidaaaaaaaayssss
it's alrighttt tis the seasonnn
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
YE HAPPY BELATED HOLIDAYS

Your gods have name-days?

Eh, sort of. The religious side of things isn't really my forte though. It's really just a name. Point is — it's a day for you to turn that grumpy face into a smile, hm?
