✈ 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.]

Why shouldn't he be? He's more real than a bunch of odd stuff knocking around this place.

-- People really do come from just about everywhere around her, don't they.

[ who doesn't know captain hook?! ]

Captain Hook. A sad excuse of an almost villain who had his head cut off in one of his many failures of adventures. Mostly the only thing he really carries well is eye make up.

I'm a Viking from Berk.

[ The only one, sob. ]

That sounds ... less than spectacular for him. I lost my leg but I'd really hate to lose a hand.

A viking.

[ oddball. she gives him a little look ]

he is rather fond of the hook he has in its place. so much that he named himself captain hook, I doubt he is smart enough to complain.
smithwork: what those bongos mean  ✈ (come out and tell me)

Oh. And, yeah, that's what I said. Yes. Very much a Viking.

[ Feeling a bit bad for Captain Hook. Poor guy without a hand, that's got to suck. ]

[ Wincing at the title of 'warrior' which he just. Won't argue. To keep the peace. ]

Unseelie, but I ... don't really fight for one side or the other, I have friends on both. It's Hiccup, by the way.

Oh, for ... Hiccup! As in the reaction of a faltering diaphragm.

[ Not really but that's the closest he can get to a succinct explanation. ]
