[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.]

[ the day the evil queen will be have sparkles and giggles is the day the world will come to a quick end, jack frost. ]

have them celebrate Beltane, that would definitely be a crowd pleasing experience.

[ since wild, pegan sex. ha. ]

[Then I guess the world will end if a Robin Hood ever comes around to the Drabwurld, eh?]

I don't doubt that'll come up in time, but it's kind of a little early on the calendar to get into that.

[ hey those are private moments of giggling!!! ]

Then will unseelie and seelie celebrate it together or are we even allowed that?

They might. We had Samhain back in October and they invited all the sides to this big masquerade thing. I couldn't tell who was from what side there at all.

[Not that he ever really pays attention to the faction stuff in the first place.]

Mingling followed by battle two days afterwards; charming, really.

[ not that such never happened before, but. ]

Not everyone fights. There's plenty of people on both sides that drop the whole faction crap and actually become friends, you know.

[Plus, he's seen them come together on more than one occasion, calling truces to bury the bones of the dead from both sides, fighting against undead dogs to protect everyone, those sorts of things — it wasn't all bad.]

Friends who would eventually be expected to kill each other. I'm not a fan of this at all but I don't think that when push comes to shove they'll allow anyone to stay neutral.

[ unless regina will simply kill the monarchs first. best plan. ]

[Of course Regina will try to kill monarchs. What else would she try?]

Eh, maybe. But that's not really stopping anybody. Besides, the only times I've been in a fight here, it's been alongside those same so-called enemies, against a bigger common enemy. You'd be surprised what can actually happen in this "war" here.

[ look it is the most reasonable action given the situation! ]

I think we all may be surprised. I know wars and while I am -- surprised, these meetings are allowed, I don't fool myself to think it means something. we are divided for a reason and while I don't intend to fight for anyone, I know better than to forget it.

Eh, to each their own on the whole thing. You really need to ease up though. Too much pouting on your part. Smile a little.

[Ahahahaha don't tell Regina what to do. You're lucky you're already dead, Jack.]

I'll pass.

[ :||| ]

You know, I've been here for a while now, but I don't think I've ever met someone quite as lively as you.

[ c: ]

Trust me when I say, you do not wish to see me when I'm lively.

[ usually it involves fireballs and murder. ]
