asgardeventide | video and action; 1st Snowflake

[Normally when a person connects to Asgard's network, they greet villagers with a view of their face. However, this particular new Traveller is busy showing the city…snow. In particular, the fresh snow and frost that graced the city just two days prior to his arrival. Lots of snow, because this particular new Traveller just tried to fly and promptly fell into the snow instead. There's a frustrated sound from Jack Frost as he stands up, bracelet turning to face the snow again. Good thing nobody saw that. He's not really thinking about whether anyone can hear or see him though. The whole "being seen and believed in" thing? Still sort of hit and miss with this guy, and he's working under the assumption that most people still can't. However he's very much visible to anyone looking. They'll see a white-haired boy covered in snow and walking through the city like it's no big deal. Oh yeah, and without shoes. He's still not showing his face to the bracelet for the network to see, but he's soon speaking up to talk his way through the situation.]

Uh huh. So the fate of all existence rests within my hands. Thaaat sounds kind of familiar. [Speaking of hands, one of his hands soon appears as he bends down while walking, scooping up some snow to form a snowball.]

What I want to know is who beat me to it. [That snowball starts getting tossed up and down.] Because this? This isn't my work. [The snowball stops getting tossed and he brings it up, presumably, to his mouth to try and work some magic on it. No such luck though. He immediately stops in his path, giving the snowball a curious look.

Okay, well, how about we make it snow? …no luck? What about fros--okay, no luck there either.]

You gotta be kidding me. I mean I get it, I have a new power. [In fact, he's going to test the strength of his new power, using his mind to create snowballs without his hand and allow them to float and hover around him.] …which is kind of cool, I guess. I get that supposedly old powers won't work, but how am I supposed to be a Guardian if I can't even make the snow come?

[Aw well…even if he can't make new snow, there's no sense wasting the snowball that's in his hand. So what's Jack going to do? He's going to take a look around…and that snowball's suddenly getting launched…who knows where. If another traveller's nearby, it might just hit them. Totally on accident. Really. Oh come on, he's still working under the assumption that most people can't see him. Someone missed the memo that when they say everything's been stripped, they mean everything. So assuming that there's no harm done here, he'll just start to walk off with his telekinetically-created snowballs drifting behind him like baby ducks following their mother.]

[Sora has absolutely no problem with showing his face to a complete stranger.]

You can make it snow? Wow! You must be really strong.

[Oh hello there Sora. He's going to give a broad grin because finally someone acknowledges his work.]

Yeah! Who do you think is responsible for all of the blizzards and freezing ponds over? That's me.

So all this time, cold weather's just been really advanced magic?

You got it. Pretty cool huh?

Totally cool! I wish I could make it snow.

But if you made it snow, what would be left for me to do?

You could go on vacation. Every magician needs a break now and then.

Magician? [He blinks suddenly.] Wait, you think I'm a magician?

You mean you're not?

Man, you don't really think a magician could create all of this, do you?

You might be right. Okay, this is definitely something only a sorcerer could pull off!

So what's the difference between a magician and a sorcerer? [Because he's neither of those, but now he's curious.]

Sorcerers are masters of magic. They can cast all kinds of spells and never run out of energy. Magicians train hard so they can become sorcerers. And you have to be a sorcerer!

[It's all based on how he views Donald and Master Yen Sid.]

Well I hate to break it to you, but I don't think I'm a sorcerer or a magician.

Is there a level higher than sorcerer?!

I guess it'd be Guardian.

Whoaaa... How'd you get so strong?

I think having 300 years of practice helped.

You don't look anywhere near that old.

We don't really age. We'd all look pretty bad if we did.

[He's thinking of Yen Sid again, all wrinkly and long-bearded. It's not that he looks bad, it's just that he's, y'know, old.]

Yeah, I get what you mean... Hey, what's your name? I'm Sora.

[Yen Sid is the oldest, man. Not that Jack would know.]

I'm Jack. Jack Frost.

What?!

[He's having a strong reaction.]

Even your name is cool!

[Oh my gosh Sora you are such a goober it's sort of hilarious. Jack just laughs a little though.]

Yeah, I guess it is. [And he's not even sure Sora caught his own pun.] I don't think it'd have the same effect if I was John Flame or something.

I get it. It's because you're a snow guardian! Did your parents know you would learn ice magic when they named you?
