#004 [Video] Attention: PSA courtesy of your local Guardians

[Behold, Asgard! This time, Jack's video isn't being recorded on a roof - it's inside of the Guardian's apartment above the ice rink. He is sitting on the couch with his legs crossed, metal staff lying across his lap, but he isn't the one doing the recording. Judging by the snickering coming from behind the screen, Jamie is their cameraman today.]

You know, for a bunch of people who got dragged to a new world by a bunch of Norse gods, were given new powers, asked to fight ice giants-- [He's counting with his fingers as he speaks.] --and get cursed more often than not, you guys sure are waaaay too skeptical for your own good.

[Sandy, looking somewhat sleepy, is perched on the arm of the couch, his sketchpad open in his lap. He lazily sketches things that aren't visible from the camera, looking as though he's only halfway listening with vague amusement to the spirit next to him. Tooth is sitting on the back of the couch, between them, her wings fluttering slightly. She looks rather amused at the whole thing. ]

Jack, that's not fair, just because some things are real doesn't mean they're going to believe anything they hear.

[Jack, being the mature spirit he is, just... pouts at her a little bit.] Do they have to flip out though? I'm started to get offended! [He turns to the camera again, sounding completely serious about this. Mark the calendar, folks.] Soooo, PSA time, everyone. All the stories you've heard when you were kids? Real. Every single of us - we exist. Get over it already.

[Told you about that maturity! Sandy nods absently, a tiny smile on his face as he keeps drawing. Yeah, everything is true. Well, mostly everything. There are deviations from myth occasionally, but eh, not like that matters too much. Tooth smacks Jack's shoulder lightly, exasperated.] What Jack means to say is that in our universe at least, most of those stories you heard weren't just stories. There really is a Santa Claus, there really is an Easter Bunny, that sort of thing.

[Jack rubs his shoulder and pouts a bit more. Tooth is lucky, he simply can't be mad at her.] I was going to explain in a second, you know. [No, he wasn't, but details. He looks at Sandy for support, and notices the little man is absent and kinda sleepy. Gotta fix that! Using telekinesis, he makes Sandy float and puts him in front of the screen.] This is the Sandman, the Guardian of Dreams. He's older than dinosaurs and can kick your butt, so watch out for plant whips.

[Sandy jerks in surprise when he's picked up, looking up at the camera in time to blink sleepily and then give a small, smiling wave. He looks like a tatertot with legs. A sleepy tatertot with legs. And then he starts sketching again, Doesn't he look like the most intimidating thing you've ever seen?

Absolutely terrifying. Tooth is hiding a laugh behind her hand. Jack rolls his eyes (though he's smiling) and drops Sandy back on the couch.]
Thank you, Mister Sanderson, for that amazing display of intimidation. Now, this lady here-- [He points with his thumb over his shoulder.] --is the Tooth Fairy, the Guardian of Memories. Who also can defend herself even if she doesn't look like it, even if she got healing here. So be sure to floss often and nobody gets hurt.

[That gets an eyeroll for him from Tooth, who shakes her head at the camera] I'm not going to hurt anyone unless they attack me or my friends, or they're hurting children. I'm sure none of you have anything to worry about.

[A beat.]

But please don't forget to floss.

[Sandy casually flips through his sketchpad, then holds it up, showing a picture of Tooth hovering in mid-air, her fingers thrust in a confused and flailing Jack's mouth and her eyes practically gleaming maniacally.

Don't have too good teeth, people, or this will happen to you.

Jack will proceed to ignore the fuck out of that drawing, thank you. Now it's his turn to wave at the camera.]
And Iiiii am Jack Frost. Or Jokul Frosti, like the locals call me. But please stick to Jack, unless you suddenly had the urge to go Norse to match Asgard. Anyway - I'm the Spirit of Winter, Guardian of Fun, I do NOT nip noses and NO, I was never a snowman. Next time someone asks that, they'll discover why I was chosen by the god of mischief.

[Tooth adds mildly, her eyes sparkling] I've heard plenty of stories about how he's messed with the Easter Bunny. I'd watch out.

[Sandy then casually flips to another page, holding it up to show a picture of a snowman with Jack's staff leaning against it and its eyes aren't stones, instead being angry Jack eyes. And the stick arms are waving around in rage. And meanwhile, a smirking rabbit-like humanoid leans against a tree in the background, tossing a snowball from paw to paw with a cocky grin. Revenge is best served cold.

This would happen in Bunny's sweetest dreams, Sandy's sure.

Jack snorts at the drawing.]
Riiight, as if he ever could beat me in my own element. I don't have to explain about the kangaroo too, do I? [He sighs before the other two can even say anything. He already knows the answer.] Alright - the Easter Bunny, aka Cottontail, Guardian of Hope and Spirit of Spring. He's huge, grumpy, Australian, and yes, totally real. [He starts counting with his fingers again.] Santa Claus? Real. North, Guardian of Hope, is as real as his huge belly, the tattooed arms, the Russian accent, his army of little elves and the bunch of yetis that make the toys.

[Sandy switches to a new page, his smile growing. This one is a picture of a massive man with a long white beard and lovely designs on both arms, one spelling out Naughty and the other spelling Nice. And said massive man is cheerfully working on a toy at his desk while Sandy battles in the background to keep his eggnog away from a pack of North's wretched elves (while one quietly climbs up a chair to reach the glass while Sandy's holding it out of the others' reach) and Jack surreptitiously sneaks past them all with a mischievous grin on his face, only to be about to crash into a glaring yeti right in his path.

Jack, stop trying to sneak into North's workshop. The yetis will always get you.

Tooth can't hold her laughter in at that one - mostly because it's SO ACCURATE. She kind of forgets that she can't fly and tips backwards off the couch. You can hear her still giggling after she lands, though, so she's probably okay.

Jack looks behind him, chuckles, brings Tooth back to the couch with telekinesis and then just... keeps counting. Don't judge him, this is another normal day in their pseudo-family.]
Sooo yeah. That's for the Guardians of Childhood. But I meant it when I said we are ALL real. Cupid? Real. Diaper included, which looks kinda creepy in a little old man. The Leprechaun? Reeeeeal. If you thought Thor drank a lot, you haven't seen that guy. Nessie, the Groundhog, mermaids, Anansi, tanukis and kitsunes, la Llorona, gorgons... the whole deal, I tell you.

[And Sandy keeps on flipping through pictures of Jack somehow pissing off each of these people. Freezing over Loch Ness and Llorona's river while they pound against the ice and growl what are surely expletives in one language or other. Freezing part of the ocean while a mermaid is mid-dive and she ends up smashing her nose on the ice. A fox-like creature with five tails, spinning around to snap at Jack as he tugs on one of them curiously. Jack replacing the Leprechaun's alcohol. On and on.

At a certain point, Sandy just arches an eyebrow and casually flips through the many pages he prepared for this. Jack, have you ever thought that you piss off too many spirits?]


They don't need to know every myth, boys. [She's mostly recovered from that giggle fit, though she's still grinning.]

So, we hope you'll come to us with any questions you may have, and go ahead and start believing again!


[And so the feed ends, with a bit offended Jack exclaiming at Sandy-] Well, excuse a guy for having some fun!

[Okay, he had to cover his mouth with one hand to keep himself from laughing at one point during the Guardian Show but now that he's not recording, Jamie doubles over in laughter. It keeps going and he ends up on his back, rolling around on the ground.]

[ Wow that's a lot of words. He didn't listen to like 90% of it, mostly because it meant absolutely nothing. ]

What the fuck is a Sandy Claws?

[ Tooth can't help it - she bursts out laughing again, too. ]

Oh, that was such a mess!

[Sandy will just burst into silent giggles and puts aside his sketchpad, slipping off the couch to sit next to Jamie. Well, that was fun!]

So you're saying humans have a holiday where someone breaks into your hive but instead of stealing stuff like any normal, sane troll would do, they leave stuff?

[ Wow what is with humans, they are so weird. ]

How does he even know?

I'd say magic isn't real but you're probably just going to tell me it is.

[personal profile] memoriesinivory 2013-11-17 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ she spreads her hands in a shrug with a little smile ] Well, what would you call so much of the stuff that happens here? Magic is very very real, whether you believe in it or not.

Most of the ones I know aren't either. [ Yes, he knows what he just said. ] Okay so he has magic powers to spy on you and to break into your hive. Got it.

[ He'll give that a good ponder for a second. But only one. Maybe two. ]

I'd call it crap. That's what I'd call it.
firstbeliever: (Yeah Do It)

[personal profile] firstbeliever 2013-11-17 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Eventually the laughter subsides but he's still grinning from ear-to-ear. Then he leans into Sandy's side when the Guardian sits next to him.]

Is this how it always is when you guys get together?

[Because he remembers the chaos they caused in his room that one night.]

[personal profile] memoriesinivory 2013-11-17 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ To be honest, she can't really blame him for that reaction, given the situation. ] That, too. But it's also magic.

[personal profile] memoriesinivory 2013-11-17 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Uh... well, not always.

[ she rubs the back of her neck sheepishly ]

But when there's not a crisis on hand, it can definitely be a handful. Jack's a new variable.

[personal profile] littlesurvivor 2013-11-17 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Santa has tattoos and yetis? What about the reindeer?

[And uh. Lets not talk about flossing Tooth. Clem did not really have that as a priority when running from walkers and trying to find her parents back home okay. :l She will say hi when she is not so. Distracted by all this information gosh Jack.]

....Mermaids?!
madcuriosity: (*giggles*)

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-11-17 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Alice is in a fit of giggles at Sandy's drawings and is still giggling the whole way through. It takes her several moments to catch her breath when Sandy stops flipping and all of them stop talking.]

GOODNESS! [She wiped her eyes, smiling bright.] Jack, it's a good thing you've never upset a dragon... or has Sandy merely not drawn that?

Oh but! Now I can ask! Miss Tooth! What is flossing? [Because Alice is from 1865, flossing was not a widely known thing yet. Though she does brush her teeth twice a day! But she didn't want to disappoint any of the guardians.]
memoriesinivory: (Default)

[personal profile] memoriesinivory 2013-11-17 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ No worries, Miss Clem, Tooth wouldn't fault you for less-than-stellar dental hygiene in the situation you were in - you had MUCH bigger problems on your hands. ]

He does! And he has reindeer and everything.

[ Aw, so cute! ]

Yes, mermaids! They're a little unpredictable sometimes, but they're very very real.
memoriesinivory: (Default)

[personal profile] memoriesinivory 2013-11-17 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! [ Tooth brightens - she does love people with a concern for their dental health ] Flossing is when you take a special kind of treated string and pop it between your teeth to help get food and plaque out from between them, to help keep you from getting cavities or toothaches. I can find some for you and show you how.

Whatever, fine. Magic. So what's your "magic power"? [ With heavy sarcasm, of course. ] I mean that's the whole thing here, right?
