17th Spark || [Video]

[Good morning, Asgard. There's a cheerful warlock wearing a dopey sort of grin on your bracelet screen.]

Since Arthur's already had his time to talk about the Citadel, I guess it's my turn. After what happened with the Gentlemen attacking, and the SOS message a couple days ago, it's not a bad time to remind everyone that the Medic Corps are still around. If you want to help with the war effort but aren't a fighter yourself, we could always use more healers willing to go onto the field and help the wounded. The hospital's a good place to work if being a physician is something you'd like to do, too.

I've just finished packing some more of the medicine kits. [He holds his own kit up to the screen as an example.] If you want one, or if you need to restock yours, just go to the hospital and ask for Merlin.

Right--speaking of the hospital. I've been talking to Jack, and we're going to be redecorating the hospital. Most of the walls and rooms are white, it's hard to believe any patient would recover while looking at something so painfully bare. We could use the help brightening the place up. Paint, portraits, trinkets--anything you've got that you that you want to contribute, I'm sure we'll find some place to put it. Or Jack's little ducklings will if we older folks can't. [Merlin grins, picturing the Guardian surrounded by the native and traveler children.]

Send all of that over to the hospital if you want, or [the half teasing, half sly expression on his face indicates the second option is the better one] you can come and help us decorate in a few days. There's enough of you good at creating and the like that it shouldn't be a problem, right?

[Was that a challenge you just heard? Nah, probably your imagination. Merlin beams, practically radiating cheer and innocence.] Great, so I'll see you all there!

No, it isn't... [A long pause.] But you already knew that.

[You called me little Jack and offered new kind of games. How do you even comment something like that?]

You... aren't asking to make another creepy offer, are you?
samantha_grey: (Uhhh)

Re: [Video] - Private

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2013-11-28 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Forgive her. It took a minute to remember.] No... no creepy offers. I'm just curious is all.

[He nods. He's seen her around, and knows something else is going on besides what he saw that night, but he's not exactly good at conversation.]

No problem. Curiosity is good. Yeah. [Awkward? A bit.] Youuuu... are better now, yes?
samantha_grey: (Embarassed)

... better than I was, yes. I'm hoping what we're doing will make that permanent, but I'm not promising until I am sure.

So it was a temporary thing. Okay. [He rubs the back of his head.] Ah- I'm Jack Frost. In case memories from them are weird or something. Sorry for... saying I would throw stuff at your face.

No, I remember. And trust me. I've had people threaten much worse when I'm like that. [She was trying to remember, honestly, if he had dealt with the gray-scaled queen of depression or the psychotic succubus. Either way, it was never good.]

That sort of thing used to happen about once a month here. Some potions helped slow it, but not completely. We've tried something more drastic to attempt to completely keep it in check. It's... just a part of what I am. It was a lot worse at home.

It's alright, you don't have to explain. [But the idea of doing things here that you weren't capable at home hits too close to home, and he can't help asking.] Are you... are you grateful? For having something here to control it?
samantha_grey: (Nonplussed)

Grateful? I'm not sure that's the word I'd use, but ... not having to worry has been a change. Mostly for the good. I just don't want to get complacent about it.

[Yes. Yes, yes, yes, he understands a little too well. His thing isn't dangerous or anything of the sort, but still...]

Hard to be complacent when they want you to fight a war that isn't ours as payment.
samantha_grey: (grrr)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2013-12-26 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
mmm? Oh, that? Sorry, I actually decided I wanted to fight their war a while ago, believe it or not. There's people here I want to protect, and the locals... they didn't do anything to deserve the crap the giants throw at them. I really don't think of it as payment anymore.

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-12-26 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
No, I-- I do believe it.

[He wants to protect the local kids, that's his thing to do. But there's still steps between protecting someone and wanting to go out and fight. Jack has some mixed feelings about this.

And now for a lovely awkward pause.]
Ah, thanks. For answering that. Not what I had in mind when I came in to ask you about blondie and duckhead.
samantha_grey: (Sad Smile)

Eh, don't worry about it. You end up talking for long enough and a conversation meanders naturally. But that also probably means we've gone long enough for now. We can talk again sometime.

[He offers a small smile.] Ah, right. Sure, that sounds okay. See you around then.
