sixth snowball ❅ voice (both courts; backdated to the 18th)

[winterwork]

[There's only a soft voice that rises, familiar to some but less cheerful than it's normally known to be.]

So this world is kind of in a crappy place right now, isn't it? [A sigh is heard along with a pause, but he continues.] It's not gonna be safe out there. For anybody. So if you don't feel safe, let me know and I'll find you. I'll make sure you're out of the way. Somehow.

[Another pause as he struggles to speak. This whole month, this entire war, it's too much of a mess.]

I'm not gonna let any of you die, okay?



PRIVATE VOICE MESSAGE TO; ariadne, hiccup, lancer, korra, mako, jon.

Merida's asleep, by the way. Just like I was. I don't know the details of it, but if it's anything like my case, she'll be asleep for an entire week. Except she ...

[He swallows hard, remembering his three hundred year hiatus.]

There's no telling how long it'll be on her side. It could be a day, it could be twenty years, I don't know. So just ... make sure to give her some support when she wakes up, okay? Trust me. She's gonna need it.

I know, but I am still scared.

[ Jack is the only person she will freely admit this to right now. ]

[winterwork]

[His chest tightens hearing that, and he hopes more than ever that he can live up to his words and keep people like Alice from harm.]

I'm not going anywhere. And I'll do anything to keep you safe, okay? This is all just a phase. Things are gonna get better.

[digophelia]

[ She wishes she can quell that fear something will happen to Jack Frost. It's hard to push it out of her mind with how many times she's seen the heroic spirits in combat and hurt. ]

So as long as you remember you do not have to do it alone. I don't want to see your hurt or in danger, Jack. I have friends who are spirits that have been hurt in the past.

[winterwork]

[You do not have to do it alone. It's not easy to change something you've become so used to.]

I'm too stubborn to let anything happen to me, you know. But I'll be careful, Alice. Don't worry about me.

[digophelia]

Stubbornness is all fine and good, but not everyone here is invincible.

[winterwork]

You're forgetting who I am. I have a knack for finding trouble and getting out of it.

[Though even he knows he's not invincible either.]

[digophelia]

Of course. Try to live up to the latter as much as possible.
