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?

[ how shall she interpret this news? that they can go home -- is it good? is it bad? certainly, she's come to see the great advantages of being here. her family, for one. but isn't all winter roses. and so she cannot quite rejoice nor despair.

except that she stings to have missed another display of his magic: ] You looked for me? Truly? [ she sounds...charmed. ] I wasn't there. I'm sorry. Truly sorry, for I would have liked to see the place propped up with banks of snow. I imagine it's very beautiful.

[icy]

Of course I looked for you. [ His smile softens, then turns playful again as he jerks his chin. ] Where are you right now? I went exploring for a while, until some kind of cow spirit threw me halfway across the world, but I saw on the lockets that you were travelling. Still at it?

[steeledskin]

Nearly done. That same spirit flung me close. I'll be back in my own chambers sooner than I'd ever thought I'd be. But to have missed you--

[ he'd brought her such delight on that first night. and she would want desperately to introduce him to her father, despite...despite the lie that still stands between her and that possibility. ]

I did not realize our given allegiances could be so...changeable.

[icy]

Tell me where you are, I'll come and see you right now. [ He shrugs off the allegiances. ] I don't care what they say I'm supposed to be, I know who I am.

[steeledskin]

Right now? [ she echoes; she chirps. she is days away from her father's company -- and for all she likes him (for all she misses his displays!) she cannot quite... ]

I would have to speak to Ser Gendry, of course. He is my escort. [ between the lines: one moment while i ask for permission. ]

video.

[smallshoes]

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

[Apparently she's moved nearly to tears.]

[icy]

Ser Gendry? [ Smile whipping into a grin, Jack raises his brows. ] Okay, I'll wait. Go ahead.

[ Note to self; freeze Gendry's underwear. ]

Oh! [ Mischief creeps into the corners of his smile. ] And tell him it's Lord Winter asking.

video.

[icy]

Unless I'm sleeping, sure.

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

You liked it?

video.

[smallshoes]

Oh, I did, it was beautiful - do you really fly in your sleep! Isn't that dangerous!

[Now she's concerned!! This is a girl full of emotions that go everywhere.]

video.

[icy]

[ Excitable kids are always the best; she reminds him of Jamie, that way. ]

Oh, no, the Wind makes sure I don't hit any birds or mountains. Sometimes I'll go to sleep on its back in Russia and wake up in China!

video.

[smallshoes]

[Oh, now her eyes get wider - and wider - almost impossibly so! They're green and they're practically shining with wonder.

Hushed, she says,] You're really a magic person! You're really amazing, sir!

[Fairies are different from magical people who sleep on the wind. Her heart is pounding.]

video.

[icy]

I'm Jack Frost. [ Which isn't just a name, the way he says it, but an encompassing idea. ] I bring the blizzards and the snow-days. If you ever want to build the best snowmen, let me know.

What's your name?

video.

[smallshoes]

So that's really you! Do you really mean it! Oh, Mister Jack Frost, I've read about you! To think you're a real boy...!

[As much as she wants to go home, there are so many wonders here, from chittering fairies who help her curl her hair to, now, Jack Frost! Really, these are all miracles to her.]

I'm Elizabeth Midford - [No time to be the daughter of a marquess, she has to quickly beg,] Please, call me Lizzie, sir!

video.

[icy]

[ Laughing delightedly, he gives her a wave with his other occupied hand, staff sending snowflakes fluttering around him toward the locket as he soars. ]

You can call me Jack, Lizzie, sir makes me sound like some old guy. [ Which he sort of is, technically, but not at heart. ] What kind've things did you read about me? I promise not to nip your nose.

video.

[smallshoes]

[She blushes, when she says,] Well, Jack, then. [It seems so forward, but it's what he's asked of her...

Then she's excited again, flushed now with energy rather than embarrassment. The snowflakes are a very nice touch, and just spur her on.] Well...! I've read nobody can see you! But I can see you now, I'm so glad! You're quick and quiet and you move like a fairy! Umm, how did it go... "Wherever he breathed, wherever he stepped, by the light of the morn were seen - most beautiful things! There were flowers and trees!" Like that, Jack!

video.

[icy]

[ Move like a fairy fghjk he could kill Rankin and Bass. His laughter's taken by the wind as he rocks his head back, beaming at her. ]

I'll have to come and visit you sometime, put some of those flowers and trees on your window-pane. Sound good, Lizzie?

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

[showmeyourwreath]

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.]

video;

[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!

[ 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!

[ 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]

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.

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

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