[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 don't know if that is it. Even if you were a girl and you did that, I think he would get angry.

[But she can't help giggling a little there. Oh, Jack.]

The tail is pretty fluffy.

Because I'm not little. I'll take cute though.

[He flutter his eyelashes for her. Yes, please. Keep laughing, Clem.]

Told you. There's no way a pet can resist it. Hey, maybe you can't resist it either. Have you petted him yet?

Hee. I don't know. I've never really...thought about boys as cute. Not yet anyway. There's too much else to worry about back home to think about that stuff.

[And here. Well. Eight would likely freak out and get totally overprotective the second he thought Clem was interested in any boy.]

Petted him? Not yet. Why, does he like being petted? Should I, next time I see him?

[Oh boy this is totally now what Jack wanted to talk about. STAY YOUNG CLEM BOYS HAVE COOTIES!!!] Yeeeeeah, please don't think about it. [EVER] I was just kidding around. Enjoy being a kid and leave that stuff for teenagers.

[Good call, Eight. Jack can help with that.]

Oh yes, he looooves it. You should totally try it as soon as he can.

[Clementine shrugs. Boys. She's barely met any near her own age anyway. Not since years back at home.]

I'm nearly a teenager. A couple more years. I still don't see how that would make me interested.

[She giggles.]

Yeah? Maybe.

Nearly is not now, so forget all that teen nonsense and enjoy being a kid, alright?

[Don't give big brother Jack a heart attack, thank you. And with each of her giggles, his smile grows wider.]

Absolutely. Maybe you can ask him for a ride, too!

Heh. Right.

[So many protective boys that would want to make sure any guy that even thinks of being anything more than friends would be interrogated. Clem is so (un)lucky?]

You really think he would give us rides?

That's a good girl.

[It's more about her growing up, actually. Jack wants all his kids to stay, well, kids. The day she gets her first kid is the day she stops believing (or so Jack thinks).]

Of course. I've seen him it before with Sophie. That's Jamie's sister by the way. Told you, he totally adores little girls.

[It's hard for her to believe anything anymore. At least, back home. Here in Asgard though, that's a whole different story. Clementine is so much more relaxed and open here in comparison. After everything in her life, she needs a bit of fun and magic to help her relax.]

I don't know if I remember him mentioning a sister before. Is she older than him? Or younger?

[Fun and magic? Jack can do that. Let him fix your childhood, Clem.]

Younger. Blonde and a bit clumsy but really cute. She doesn't talk a lot yet... kept referring to Bunny as 'hophop'. [He chuckles.] If you need a nickname for him, though, try 'Cottontail'.

[Yes good. Fix that shitty childhood, Jack!]

Hophop. [That gets a bit of a giggle from her. Cute.]

Cottontail? Like cotton candy sort of thing?

[Oh my god Jack get the camera from his butt :|]

I'm going back to bed.

Hey, Bunny. Don't worry. I'll try not to annoy you too much. I can't say for Jack though, if he does get someone to help him.

No worries, Clem. You never annoy me.

If we get a dog, Jack gets to sleep outside with it. See him laugh then.

Hee. I'm not sure he would like that. He'd probably find somewhere inside even if you tried to keep him out.

He is squirrelly like that.

Squirrelly? Hee. Kind of?

Tenacious, too.

Can't get anywhere without being tenacious. At least back home.

[Yeah. Clem is definitely Sandy and Jack's influence from when she first arrived.]

[Oh, he can tell.]

It sure is important to get ahead.

I sleep outside all the time. Good to know how much attention you pay to your buddy here, Cottontail.

Seriously? You don't even have a bed here? [He did not pay even a tiyn bit of attention.]

I dooo, I just don't use it much. [Raises an eyebrow.] Have you actually taken a good look at the place? At all?

...I was getting round to it. [No. He wasn't.]

Riiiiight. I'm just gonna nod and pretend I believe that.
