[Don't bother on wondering what's wrong with the bracelets today, travelers, because there's actually nothing wrong with them. The image is upside down because Jack is the one lying down like that, skinny legs resting on the back of the couch, his head almost touching the floor and making his hair spike in more directions than usual.

His question for the network sounds rather mundane and boring, especially for someone like Jack, but there's a grin on his face that shows there's more to it than it looks. Remember: never trust a prankster.]

Soooo. Pets are popular around here, right? Then tell me, what do you do when hair starts getting everywhere? [He pokes one of the cushions on the couch with his staff, and it's obvious he's exaggerating his story a little.] Extra points if it's rabbit fur you have tips for. Though I kinda doubt it because what I'm always seeing in the network is...

[His eyes widen.]

...dogs.

[And so does his grin. There's "mischief" written all over his expression. At times like this, Jack manages to look like the annoying teenager he died as.]

Geez, there's really have a huge amount of dogs around, isn't it? Do you guys think maybe I could borrow them from you? Rent them? Just for a day. It's for a little... experiment.

[Jack might just be vanishing very quickly off the screen, as if something very large has just grabbed him by his skinny ankles and hoisted him skywards. A gruff Aussie accent identifies the culprit of aforementioned Jacknabbing.]

NO! I don't want no bloody dingos running about the place. They're unhygienic. [And this has nothing to do with the fact he's petrified of them, nope.]

Hey! What are you-- [A snort.] Awww, it's our dear kangaroo jealous? Don't worry, Cottontail, your fur will forever be the only one in our--

[Jack can't finish because he's suddenly being shaken, and the feed ends... but not without showing a giant furry creature doing the shaking first.

Another normal day in the Guardians' home, yup.]

I was asking for people's pet, those are probably more than used to playing. [Off? Nah, just out for a little laugh, then he can come back.

Jack isn't bothered, he gets it. They told him he was here before and the weird feeling will never leave him. At Lavi's question, he nods, smiling at being recognized.]

The one and only! And this one here is the Easter Bunny. Welcome back to Asgard.

[historyrabbit]

Can't say I've seen very many dogs, then again I haven't been around many days. And then again, haven't wandered too far out of Odin. [He can get lost in his own district. At least for the moment.

He just hates not remembering a place like this.

Just sort of staring at Jack and then at Bunnymund in the background. Then looking back at him.]

He's really that big? But thanks...I think.

[2cool4guardian]

There are lots of them, you'll see them on the network all the time. Odin... right, you are another brain. What did you get this time? Fire or Ice?

[That's one hell of important question, just saying.

The staring makes him snicker. Explaining this over and over gets tiring sometimes, but other times he gets funny reactions like this one.]

Yup. Probably making up for the Sandman, who is child sized. We had to add another floor to the apartment when he and Santa moved in.

[historyrabbit]

..."Brain?" [Your slang, what is it?] Fire, not sure what I had last time.

[Jack won't get much further reaction than a squint, his pupil probably widening but his face is otherwise a mask.] ...Saint Nicholas and Ole Lukøje?

[2cool4guardian]

Yeah, you know. A bookworm, a nerd, a smartypants. Odin goes for intelligence above anything else.

[He doesn't comment on the fire, but he does wrinkle his nose at it. Stupid power, stupid element.

That's ok, the squinting makes him chuckle. He nods.] Yes aaaaand yes. And the Tooth Fairy left us not long ago.

[historyrabbit]

[Oh. Oh. Rolling his eye at you, sir.] Bookworm, maybe. Not quite sure what a nerd is either, though I'm guessing the context relates it to the other two words. But yeah, I guess I'm smart... [Book smart. People watching smart. People interacting smart? Not so much.]

I can't say I've heard of the Tooth Fairy though. [History wise she started to really pop up after his time. It was more the tradition to burn lost teeth for fear of witches.]

[2cool4guardian]

[Lavi used Eyeroll! It's not effective...] If you have to guess then maybe you aren't that smart. [Don't mind some teasing.]

Really? Geez, from which century are you from? [From before Jack's time, that's for sure.]

[historyrabbit]

I'm smart enough to know that I still don't know everything, but I still know a lot.

[Hurt little ): face.] 1895, England...

[The Tooth Fairy as we know her today wasn't around until 1927. Though parents often burned or buried baby teeth, for fear of witches or tradition. Eddas speaks of a tooth fee upon loss of first tooth, and European traditions also have gifts or money left along with the tooth as reward. But nothing of a tooth fairy. And there's Madrid's Ratoncito Pérez, though that was 1894 - Lavi was a bit too busy the past two years to notice Madrid's new traditions. APOLOGIES, I tried to make sure of which Guardians he'd know of and which ones he wouldn't.]

[2cool4guardian]

A lot except knowing when you're being teased.

[1895? That surprises Jack - he was already around by then. Maybe he's missing an old name? He hasn't followed all myths in detail... huh, he'll have to ask Tooth one day. LMAO it's alright, I understood! Jack was just being his usual IC dummy. :)]

We keep getting Brits... oh wait, 1895! Year of the Great Frost! I totally remember that, it was tons of fun.

[historyrabbit]

You call that teasing?

[Jack Frost is the only name for Jack Frost sadly, the other language translations are just that - translations. Unless he wants to be called Old Man Winter. Sob. Okay. /cries in corner]

Hey now, I'm not necessarily British even if I'm stationed there right now. But we make it to winter at least? [Good... You see that relief on his face?]
