[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.]

You're the smartest of the lot of us for passing.

I don't really have good vibes, is all. I feel like I rather not have to come into contact with him if I can.

...that's probably a good idea. Don't think the same of Callilope though, she's a good gal. They're siblings, but she's completely his opposite.

Alright.

I mean, I don't really have personal issues with either. I just feel like if I spoke to Caliborn, it would be too soon. [Dave can't really explain to Dirk why.]

...you can't tell me that and not give me a reason why. You're making it sound like you've met him.

I don't really have a reason why. It's more of an intuition thing. I can't say I've met anyone named Caliborn.

I can't argue with your gut feeling, but all the same I'm curious why you're having it. If you ever figure out a reason, let me know. [He might actually tell him Caliborn killed his sister in the city then.]

Yeah. I'll think about it. You'll probably suddenly wake up to me having some epiphany I had while sitting on the toilet at asscrack dawn. [It'll sit in the back of Dave's mind until he can form some kind of reasoning.]

I prefer to think of it as you were raiding the fridge and smacked your head on the inside when it came to you.

I liked mine a lot better. But in retrospect, I really don't need people imagining me taking a shit on the shitter.

[Enjoy that mental image.]
