[Hello, Asgard. Look who is finally making his first post to the network? Jack is sitting on a roof and enjoying a blue popsicle. It seems their little trip to the cold lands wasn't enough ice for him.]

Moral of the story: 'frost giants' aren't as cool as they sound.

[...it's a joke, ok, don't judge him much. He needs to deal somehow with the fact the trip pretty much sucked. Jokes are also his way of trying to break the ice see what I did. Answering to people's silly thoughts? No problem. Starting conversation by his own? That's gonna need more practice.]

Someone mentioned weapons when I arrived, and how I should I ask the network about it. Maybe you do have an idea of what to do about--

[He uses telekinesis to make the two halves of a shepherd crook float next to him.]

--this. Because without my original powers, my staff is now just... a piece of wood, I guess.

[Brilliant deduction, Jack. All these changes are sure bothering you, huh?]

Weapons?

[He didn't hear anyone talking about weapons-- but he'd be interested. Not that he's sure he'd be any good at using them. Not without a little practice.]

Did it break?

[2cool4guardian]

Yeah, weapons. Know what those are, right?

[Those are some powerful observation powers, Naruto. Jack stares at the boy, then decides this is a good time as any to mess with people.]

No, I decided I didn't want it anymore so now I'm making staffs for dwarves.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[He heard the conversation above, and since he's just in that kind of mood lately, he can't help being snide about it.]

Maybe you should've been more careful with the source of your power. The gods here pull a lot of shit, but they didn't make you get sloppy.

[video]

[2cool4guardian]

[Oh just what he needs, someone to snarl at. Let the frustration flow!]

It's not the source of my power. Do you know what a weapon is or should I draw a diagram? And if getting my weapon broken instead of my, I don't know, bones is getting sloppy, then sure, that's what I am.

[justonetouch]

What's your staff supposed to be?

[But...]

If it was tied in with your original powers, Ah don't think it's gonna be anything but a piece of wood.

[2cool4guardian]

It almost was my third arm, if that makes sense. [He shrugs.] There are lots of kinds of magic around here, can't hurt to try. You don't happen to be one of those with plant powers, are you?

[madcuriosity]

MR. JACK! [He's back! She didn't know when he came back but she's so very glad he is.] Mr. Jack! I can't believe it, you're here again!

[Video]

[2cool4guardian]

[Jack's popsicle falls from his mouth at the sudden call of his name. Thankfully he catches it just in time, getting his hands sticky in the progress.

Alright, a child. A child that knows him. He can get used to this.]

Hey, kiddo. Sorry to say this, but I'm not the same one that was here last time. I wouldn't mind meeting you again though. What's your name?

[ Video ]

[congealed]

Moving stuff with your mind's not good enough of a weapon?

[ Video ]

[2cool4guardian]

No if I don't have much to throw in the first place. Unless you're offering yourself as ammunition?

[audio]

[nukeoleptic]

I can teach you how to use a gun!

[audio]

[2cool4guardian]

Of all the things coming from you, that's definitely not one I was expecting. Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll try to fix my staff first.

audio;

[occulthymns]

Hey, don't knock normal staffs. They're useful if you know how to fight with one.

[It's what she used back home, after all.]

Anyway, if you want something stronger I just got a metal one from that dwarf city. I don't think it'll ever break.

audio;

[2cool4guardian]

When did I mock normal staffs? I use one! Not my fault the gods even messed with weapons. Seriously, is there anything they actually leave alone?

[Maybe he shouldn't ask that or the gods will get ideas.]

Right. I was looking more for something to fix mine. A metal coat does sound like a good idea.

[unrestrained]

Know how to use a sword?

[2cool4guardian]

Noooo really. [That was more of Santa Claus' kind of thing. ...what.] I want to fix my staff - are there forgers in the city?

video;

[scarygirl]

Oh, don't worry. Frost giants have never been cool. It's a common error they like to make about themselves.

[Taking digs at Loki always.]

You could always hit someone with it, if it came to that.

video;

[2cool4guardian]

Leave it to giants to make frost look uncool.

[That makes Jack chuckle. He likes her style already.]

That sure sounds dangerous. Watch out, here comes the flying stick!

[seethelanterns]

Jack! I'd...wondered where you got to. But, I'm Rapunzel! We met when I first arrived and then...I guess you went back home for a while.

[Okay that does seem kind of weird to say, now she understands how everyone else must have felt when she showed up here again.]

Oh. I'm not too sure about weapons myself. I mean...I have my frying pan, but...I'm not sure how effective that's going to be against the giants.

[2cool4guardian]

[More people that know him. Welp. This is quite different from what he gets at home, so excuse him for a second while he gets himself together... and finishes his popsicle.]

Hi, Rapunzel. No, no memories over here, but I guess you already noticed that. Now you just can't mention that without explaining - a frying pan?

[longwinded]

You could just hit people with your staff. But I'm not sure how effective that is really going to be.

[Yeah, John lost his powers and the telekinesis shit sucks.]

[2cool4guardian]

[At least telekinesis is good for pranks? But yeah, still sucks.]

Considering last time I did that the staff broke, I don't think that's exactly a good idea.

[Video]

[timaeus_testified]

One of the plant growers might be able to help, if you haven't listed their aid already.

As for frost giants, they bellow like bears. [He's making a joke as he towels off his hair.]

[Video]

[2cool4guardian]

Yeah, Jade just put it together. Know anything about forgers? I still think a metal coat may help.

[Because right now, even if the staff is in one piece, it's still just a chunk of wood.

He chuckles at the joke.] Except bears are actually playful.

video, private.

[redhourglass]

Is that so?

( oops someone looks smug. and she's not anonymous on the network for once. )

I could help you. Maybe not fix it, but how to use others.

video, private.

[2cool4guardian]

[Jack will ignore all that smugness, thank you. He does raise an eyebrow when he notices the "private" setting on. Seriously, what's with this woman.]

That's nice and all but in case you haven't noticed, I do want to fix my staff.

[wasthemaster]

Theoretically if you can find someone to reinforce the staff and repair it you'd have a fairly decent weapon. [He's just pondering for a moment...maybe he'll be helpful today.] Suppose you could ask someone with the growth power to somehow repair it.

[2cool4guardian]

Yeah, Jade already "grew" it together. And reinforcement is what I'm looking for - have any idea of where to start with that?

[odinsons]

[ ... ]

Frost giants are quite frigid, actually. They give frostbite if they touch your skin.

[ that's what jack meant, right? if there are other meanings to the word cool, thor doesn't know it. ]

video;

[2cool4guardian]

[Jack interrupts the unwrapping of a new popsicle to stare at Thor. He mumbles something about a sarcasm sign before answering.]

Yeeeah I kinda noticed that. I didn't exactly break my staff while playing catch with a dog.

[getinthechariot]

Yes, this place does have a way of depowering your weapons, doesn't it?

I hope that wasn't all you were relying upon!

video

[2cool4guardian]

It has a way of depowering everything.

[Jack puts an "are you freaking kidding me" face.]

If it was, I wouldn't be here to tell the story in the first place.

video;

[hairgels]

[what what this joke went completely over blaine's head. Anyway, he's taking this seriously.]

Well, what exactly did your staff do before?

video;

[2cool4guardian]

[GOOD it's about time someone took Jack seriously! Even if that's the worst idea ever.

He runs his fingers through his hair, thinking of how to explain this.] It... channeled my old powers. That made it resistant, an actual weapon. Now it's a crook again.

[video]

[not_a_troll]

Frost giants are most cool. You have been misinformed, stranger.

May I point out your hair is white and therefore its color resembles that of an old man. Unfortunate, to say the least!

[video]

[2cool4guardian]

Let me guess: you are also taking the word literally.

[This is a family thing, isn't it? Jack would be totally pointing it out if it knew. Right now he's just amused by Loki's attempts to make fun of him. Not bad, not bad, there's potential here.]

Yes, my hair is as white as snow, the best thing ever. How old do you think I am anyway?
