[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.]

Guess I'll have to find out for myself some day. [Because he's still of the opinion it doesn't sound that bad. However, he suddenly stumbles and lets out a sound of surprise...before dropping to the ground and digging in the snow.] Aha! [Triumph! Joy! The staff is safe!]

[Her,] I guess.... [Is hesitant; she'd rather he didn't have to find out for himself, but some people do have to learn the hard way. She'll just have to hope for his sake that it doesn't turn out badly.]

--! What? [The sound has her automatically worried, eyes searching the screen even though there's nothing on it. Taking a hopeful guess after his exclamation and the sort it seemed to be,] Did you find it--?

[It's covered in snow but he's standing up, dusting off his trusty old staff and holding it proudly.] Got it! [He shoves it into the screen's line of vision to show her.] Definitely not letting this out of my sight again.

[Her smile is small but decidedly sincere.]

That's wonderful...! Congratulations. [-- Hee.] Well, looks like you've learned your lesson. [But she says it jokingly, and so gently at that that it's not even remotely a real criticism. More normally,] Sounds like a good plan.

[He looks really pleased...until something occurs to him.] They...probably took all of the magic from this too, huh?

... Probably, yes. You could give it a try, but... I wouldn't get my hopes up.

[She sounds pretty sympathetic, at least.]

Still, at least you get to keep it with you, right?

[Gotta keep looking on the bright side, and all that.]

It's better than losing it all together, I guess. [Still, he's going to have to get creative and figure out how to make use of what is now essentially a giant stick.] Hey, thanks for all of your help by the way.

[There's still the sentimental value, anyway - or at least so she can assume.]

-- You're welcome. It's no trouble...! If you have anything else you want to ask, you can always talk to me. I'll do my best to help you. [-- Oh. Speaking of which,] I should... probably mention that I work at the hospital, too, so if the sort of help you need is medical and you can't make it that far, I'm your girl. [That is how that expression goes, right?]

Hah. I'll definitely keep that in mind, Namine. [And you can bet he'll keep tabs on her anyway just because she's an interesting sort of girl.]

[The tab-keeping will be mutual - she does like to keep an eye on things, and besides, he's an especially interesting sort, himself. Her smile widens slightly.]

Thank you. Hopefully you won't need to talk to me too often. [Within those parameters, that is.]
