video » seelie & unseelie

[icy]

[ Firstly, enjoy a video of what it's like above the clouds. Ceffyl Dwr can occasionally be seen cresting the wispy tundra in herds, neighing their way in and out of focus as they shift into mist. Your host for this flight, on the other hand, can't be seen save for a bit of knee and elbow here and there, and perhaps a flash of hair whenever he curls forward before a dive.

Altogether, it's a very pretty sight. When he finally lifts the locket, Jack looks a little distracted by his far-off company but those bright blue eyes swing back eventually. ]

My name's Jack Frost. I was one of the Seelie when I first got here, but I ... I went home, I think. It's kind of a blur. [ A shrug. ] And now I'm Unseelie. I was at the last major feast in Caer Glaem not long ago, I flew all night to get there and find my friends. Their names are Alayne, Hiccup and Elsa. If you know them, give me a head's up. Oh! If the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, Sandman or Santa Claus is around, point them in my direction too.

I realize how absolutely stupid that list sounds, trust me.

[ Doing a double-take before be signs off, he snorts out a smirk. ]

And yes, I'm that Jack Frost.

[ Silent though the feed goes, save for the rush of wind, it's left online right through until sunset. ]



( OOC: video over here if you'd like to get a general visual of what it looks like to fly with jack! turn your volume down first because lol youtube no. )

Ser Jack.

[ okay. so perhaps he isn't a ser. but she feels inclined to be formal, and doesn't know what other titles she can use for a creature so delightfully...other. and frosty. ] I apologize, how ignorant of me! I wasn't aware you'd left--

I wasn't aware any of us could leave.

I didn't even know I had until I turned up here as an Unseelie. That was a surprise. [ Floating on his back through the clouds, he smiles at her brightly. ] I looked for you! I would've snowed the whole castle in if it had meant I could've found you.

How're you doing?

[smallshoes]

Do - Do you always see that... when you fly?

[Apparently she's moved nearly to tears.]

video.

[icy]

Unless I'm sleeping, sure.

[ Ahw, don't cry there, kiddo. ]

You liked it?

video.

[infame]

Not such an odd list, considering where we are. I have to say, I'm struggling to accept The Easter Bunny, however.

[A beat. ]

You changed courts, then. No one told you why?

video.

[icy]

He'd probably say he hopes you keep struggling, but he's not fond of people. I think.

[ Bunny seems to grate on everyone bar the kids, who love him unconditionally almost on sight. Jack isn't still a little bitter about that, what do you mean. ]

No, I woke up over in Caer Scima. I figured I did something ... wrong, with the Seelie. Maybe? I dunno.

What's so bad about that list?

[She really wants to know about the Tooth Fairy especially, but none of those sound immediately untoward to her.]

[icy]

Anyone over the age of twelve doesn't usually consider them solid references.

[ The most self-aware of the Guardians, right here. ]

[bolincredible]

No, no, that list isn't stupid at all, man. [ Like don't even worry about it. ] Maybe a little creepy? A lot of stuff gets creepy once you bring teeth into it. But you know, maybe that's. Maybe that's just me.

Nice to meet you, though!

Hey, man! Yeah, I'm friends with Toothiana and even I think it's a little weird how enthusiastic she gets about teeth with blood and gum on them. But it's her niche! And she does it well.

First time we met, she shoved her fingers in my mouth to see what I was packing.

[ Alice, who is often one with her head in the clouds, nearly falls off the bed she was resting on. Her green eyes wide in awe. In this world, it shouldn't be a surprise to hear these things, should it? Things like the "sandman" or Jack Frost.

The other aforementioned guardian souls aren't ones that lice recognizes. It is really lovely, a sight to see! She could watch this all night, with a soft little gasp as he rides off in the wind. From her expression, she's a little excited to see such a thing. She may be an adult now, but there are some childish mannerisms of Alice that have yet to pass, even with her history. ]

Oh!

[ No, Alice, you don't have to worry, he'll pop back up. It's funny how Alice leans forward is if that will help her follow him. ]

I... I remember stories about you! When I was small!

[icy]

[ He does indeed veer back into view, almost as if reeled by an invisible wire because oh, stories. He hasn't heard many about him, not in three centuries (the ones about him freezing people to death hit a little too close to home, because sometimes people make mistakes) and Jack's eager to hear more. ]

You do? What kind?

[ alisha arches her brow. the change in alignment catches her attention — truthfully, it's the only interesting part of the broadcast — but it's the name and the strange list she chooses to focus on. priorities. is this guy mental? it's the weirdest shit she's heard — and she claims she's got powers from a freak storm. ]

You're the reason why it's fucking freezing in the mornings during winter? [ guess who is not a fan of winter. ]

[icy]

[ The jot of speaking with anyone over the age of twelve, it begins. ]

It wouldn't exactly be winter if it was giving you sunburn, would it?

[glacio]

You're back! Are you still nearby the castle? The Seelie castle, um, you were switched. Why would they do that?

[ wow elsa you nerd calm down ]

[glacio]

I mean. Hello.

[ it shouldn't be possible to try and hide how happy she is, but she manages it somehow, packing that I-could-build-an-ice-fortress excitement into a neat little smile. ]

[espouses]

So I'm not the only one, then.

[icy]

We can form a club, the Terrible Twos.

[sundroplet]

You're Jack Frost?

【 wow rapunzel he just said - 】

As in.....don't let Jack Frost nip your nose? or...toes?

( video )

[icy]

Thanks for making it sound like I have some kind of foot-gobbling fetish, I really needed that. And what did you think I'd look like? Let me guess: big white beard, icy claws, terrible footwear choices?

[breadmaking]

Jack!

[Seems you don't have to look all that far for a certain Hiccup, Jack. He's a little surprised to be referred to as a friend, and someone Jack is actually looking to find, given they hadn't spoken all that much, but...hey, he's kind of touched. In a way.

Just good to know that he's made a friend or two here. And that the first one he made has returned.]

I was wondering where you went! Are you, uh, okay? And everything?

video;

[icy]

[ That's what you get when you're a skinny little hiccup, Hiccup. Insta!friend. ]

I'm fine, sure. I looked all over for you, I even made this army guy go marching through the hall to see if he couldn't see you. Are you okay?

[oursavinggrace]

[dammit jack, stop trying to distract him from the important thing here with all that pretty airborne scenery.]

You can change courts?

[that sounds like the sort of thing someone should have mentioned by now. and also...]

...Wait, the Easter Bunny is real?

video;

[icy]

Apparently and yes, he's a huge grump.

video » definitely private ughhh

[baseborne]

[Omfg Jack don't you rat him and Ghost out to his sister that is so not cool! Now he looks like a crazy person.

When Jon turns the video on he has the good graces to wear a faint flush of shame on his cheeks (while still thanking the gods that the Others can't fly like that, or the Wall would have done little and less to stand in their way.)

A bit grudgingly:] The feast, that was... ill done of me.

video » private forever to hide jon's shame

[icy]

[ You do act like a crazy person, Jon. Just a little. ]

If you wanted to apologize, I'm listening.

[seaside_cherry]

'That Jack Frost'?

[It's probably not fun for him to see another child that doesn't know his name, but some of us come from worlds where entertainment is banned and we just don't get to hear stories like that growing up. She can recognise the more famous names at least, who doesn't know Santa? It's confusing, but she'll just roll with it]

Er… I haven't seen any of them, but I'll let you know if I do. But, you went back? You switched Courts? I wasn't aware that was possible.

[icy]

Never mind, kid. [ Moving swiftly on!! ] Neither was I, but here I am.
