video and action; 1st Snowflake

[alittlefuninstead]

[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.]

[whatagoodgirl]

[A young, skinny girl in an oversized cloak is walking past when she feels a dull thud against the side of her hood and a bit of snow brushing her face. She throws her hood back and glances around, finally spotting the boy with all the snowballs.]

There are better uses of your powers, you know. [Man, does that ever sound like the beginning of a lecture. Careful, Jack.]

[action]

[alittlefuninstead]

[Oh. Oh, is she talking to him? What if he just stops moving completely and stands still? She can't possibly be talking to him, right? Then again, who else is around the area? Give him a few minutes to glance around, Nakama, because there's no way you mean him.]

[Video]

[saving_sound]

[He... does not look dressed for the weather here, not one bit. Hibiki can't help but worry, especially when she sees those bare feet of his.]

You aren't cold...? Your feet must be freezing!

[Video]

[alittlefuninstead]

[He starts a bit when he hears someone's voice, and it takes him a few moments to realize it's coming from his bracelet and not, in fact, someone else who's invisible. He's already pieced together that he can be seen thanks to some of his earlier encounters, but it's still sort of new to him.]

Nah. Why should they be?

[Action]

[talking_dead]

[And of course it's Norman's luck that he gets snowballed in the back of the head. Funny enough, his hair springs right back up vertically after the impact.]

Wuh--! [He ducks his head quickly, trying to brush out the snow from his hair and the back of his neck before he spins around to glare at Jack.]

[Action]

[alittlefuninstead]

[...just a grin. Oh come on, Norman, don't be mad. It's winter! You're suppose to throw snow at people. He doesn't do anything else, but those snowballs around him are rotating like they're getting ready to be launched, too. Stiiill assuming that he and his snowballs are invisible, of course. So with that being said he's going to keep walking and not even say anything about it.]

[occulthymns]

[Yes, accident. Euri was just minding her own business when WHAM!, square in the back of the head. The surprise is enough to send her stumbling a little but a split second later she's spinning around, looking pissed off.]

Who threw that?!

[alittlefuninstead]

[Doodoodoo let's just keep on walking here...man, people here gotta lighten up. His little snow-babies continue following him, but he's chuckling to himself at Euri's indignation.]

[kusuriuriyaaa]

[you know that back-hunching thing cats do when they get dripped on and have no motivation to move out of the way yet?

yeah, the Medicine Seller totally just did that. he reaches back and chillily scrapes the remains of the snowball out from between the neck of his kimono and the nape of his neck. eesh.]

My.... my.

[alittlefuninstead]

[Oooh...probably not a good sign. Definitely not a good sign, but Jack's not going to do anything just yet.]

Guess I should have looked where that was going. [He's not directly speaking to anyone, more to himself as he continues walking along.]

[Audio - Filtered]

[lethechained]

[Well, there's a newcomer if she's ever heard one. Nevermind that he's armed and dangerous -- if one considers being unusually equipped for a snowball fight dangerous.]

Maybe being a Guardian isn't what they want from you.

[Whatever that actually is, anyway; the comment probably still stands.]

[Audio - Filtered]

[alittlefuninstead]

[He's getting less startled with the amount of people who are responding to him, but the statement itself throws him for a loop.]

Are you kidding me? After all of that they're going to make me change sides again?

[video]

[trinitylimit]

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

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

[video]

[alittlefuninstead]

[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.

[action]

[wingblades]

[Improbable and amazing aiming skills there, Jack, because you hit this kid right in the face just as he stepped out of a shop. Cue a muffled whine.]

Augh--

[action]

[alittlefuninstead]

[Ahaha. Sorry, Ven. Jack's still amused.] Nice little wake-up call, isn't it? [And walking off under the assumption Ven's not looking at him.]

voice;

[biifurcatiion]

[Blindness means that he's going to stay INDOORS, but it also means he literally has nothing to do but tool around on the network out of sheer boredom.]

You're not. Welcome to Athgard, enjoy the new lack of purpothe, along with the complementary involuntary draft and war.

voice;

[alittlefuninstead]

Sounds like you're having the time of your life here. [He doesn't sound any less amused though. He's not quite taking it seriously yet, don't mind him.]

audio;

[castoffskin]

( someone who is distracted souuuunds distracted. Ja'far has mostly listened to the feeds, not bothering to cut his eyes away from his precious paperwork )

Those who brought you here care little about your actual duties. They will not listen, either. Do not wait for empathy from their side.

audio;

[alittlefuninstead]

Okay, then who do I talk to that will listen?

action;

[badwolf]

[All things considered, it's probably a fairly good wake-up call, getting a snowball to the face like this. Really, all she'd been doing the past day or so, was moping. Slinking about on her own, lost in her own head and thoughts.

Having a ball of cold, wet, snow smack dab between the eyes? You can bet she just dropped the nearly-empty coffee she was holding. Damn those telekinetic powers! Why couldn't she have something useful or--]

Hey!

action;

[alittlefuninstead]

[And he just glances over his shoulder with a grin, chuckling to himself.] Whoops. Probably should have aimed a little better. [He's not really saying this to Rose directly though, seeing how he's still going to keep on walking.]

action

[airborn]

[She lets out a gasp of surprise as a snowball makes itself at home in her hair.

It's not hard to spot Jack, with all those snowballs trailing after him. She narrows her eyes, and out comes her slingshot. In the next couple of seconds, Jack's going to be covered with snow as two of his snowballs explode.]

action

[alittlefuninstead]

[Oh jeezes that's fine, Rue, that's fine! There's a loud yell of protest as the snowballs shatter and he whips around to see who did that.

And that's about the time he spots Rue and her slingshot...and he looks less annoyed.]

...nice shot. [He's realized that Rue can see him, and he's not sure how to handle it yet.]

action// this is CR I need like burning.

[suppressthedark]

[And hit someone that snowball does. Unfortunately, it hit someone who isn't inclined to let little things like that slide, so off he goes, tromping around angrily and trying to see what little jerk just hit him with a goddamn snowball to the back of his head-

...Oh. The kid with the floating snowballs is probably the one. cupping his hands together, he yells-]

OI! YOU! WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?

action// ...ahah yesgoodperfect

[alittlefuninstead]

[He doesn't respond immediately, though when he realizes that Ichigo's making an effort to actually address him he turns around and looks at him.]

Talking to me?

action;

[clocktowered]

Ow--! [And, here's Xion, hands flying up to her face as said snowball proceeds to hit her point blank on the forehead.

Nice aiming skills there, Jack, because she's going to have to spend a moment pawing the snow out of her eyes before she can look around for the culprit.]

action;

[alittlefuninstead]

[He winces, giving a sheepish grin as he and his snow-army continue on.] Whoops. At least it's just snow and not ice. [Not that Jack would throw ice at poor innocent people, but the case still stands. And since he's not sure Xion can see him, he's carrying on.]

[action]

[oneglance]

[Where one of those snowballs happen to land is... somewhere by Ren here. But it did graze by the shoulder of his jacket, to which he brushes off the leftover bit of snow with some annoyance.]

I don't need to feel more of the cold, thank you.

[action]

[alittlefuninstead]

I'll never get the people that don't like the cold and snow. [Says Jack to himself as he walks by, expecting to pass right under Ren's nose unnoticed. He's most decidedly not someone who should see him, and so he shouldn't worry about it.]

( video. )

[wallcrawls]

The who would probably be the low temperatures conspiring with humidity and moisture. I think we can probably rely on that for a while.

( video. )

[alittlefuninstead]

Uh, no. No, no, no. That's not how it all works, I can tell you that much.

audio; whoop late

[darkbreak]

Guardian of what exactly?

audio; bun is never late (nottalking)

[alittlefuninstead]

You want the literal answer, or the Guardian's answer?
