[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?]

That's it? Just a train ride? Where's the catch?

audio;

[occulthymns]

No real catch, you just need to be able to play for it. The dwarves like stories.

audio;

[2cool4guardian]

I have years of stories to tell. [He's still a bit skeptical though.] How come more people don't take advantage of this if it's so simple?

audio;

[occulthymns]

It's only something we've been able to do recently. The elves lent us the train.

audio;

[2cool4guardian]

Elves too, right. I'm gonna need a bingo card for this. And you went to the dwarf city? How was it?

audio;

[occulthymns]

It was fun! Not a lot of plants, but they're really fun and their alcohol is great.

[2cool4guardian]

Theeere we go. Forget about weapons, you visited for the buzz. [Jack totally knows how adults work, ok.]

audio;

[occulthymns]

There's nothing wrong with that. I'm an adult. [Barely.........]

audio;

[2cool4guardian]

Mmh? How old are you anyway? [His tone tells he isn't judging, just curious. Maybe Euri is like him and hides a couple of centuries in her lack of wrinkles.]

audio;

[occulthymns]

[Oh, she wishes.] I'm 19, way older than any kid.

audio;

[2cool4guardian]

[Sorry, Euri, Jack snickers.]

You're in the middle of that change between teenager and adult. How fun. [Got that sarcasm yet.]

audio;

[occulthymns]

When - I am not! I've been an adult for over three years now! I'm definitely not a teenager or a kid!

audio;

[2cool4guardian]

You're definitely not a kid. Sixteen is already adult in your world? Way to cut your fun earlier. [Nevermind it used to be like that in Earth too. DETAILS.]

audio;

[occulthymns]

Fun? Being a kid isn't much fun. No one ever takes you seriously.

audio;

[2cool4guardian]

Exactly. No working, no responsibilities, just games. What else can you ask for?

audio;

[occulthymns]

I like having responsibilities. It makes me feel... I don't know, important.

audio;

[2cool4guardian]

[Being a Guardian is a responsibility Jack enjoys, actually. But he'll tell himself that's TOTALLY DIFFERENT kthnxbye.]

But they aren't fun. Adults lose their minds over them - it's incredibly easy to make them grumpy just over a little mistake in them.

audio;

[occulthymns]

So? You have to take the good with the bad sometimes. it's still worth having responsibility even if doing it wrong pisses people off.

audio;

[2cool4guardian]

I don't have a problem with pissing others off, it's when your daily life pisses yourself off that becomes a case of doing it wrong.

audio;

[occulthymns]

Sounds like you're speaking from personal experience to me....

audio;

[2cool4guardian]

I've spent three hundred years watching adults make themselves miserable, Euri, I know what I'm talking about!

audio;

[occulthymns]

Then why do you care what other people do?

audio;

[2cool4guardian]

[Because thanks to that they don't believe in him.]

How am I supposed to tease you if I don't pay attention?

audio;

[occulthymns]

Wh - that's so rude!

audio;

[2cool4guardian]

It's fun. Maybe you should try it some time.
