[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 know, just because you state the obvious doesn't mean it qualifies as an answer. [Draco. Draco just put down the bracelet and walk away.]

[Draco give up while you're ahead.]

It's a good answer as far as I'm concerned.

[That would require not being a dumbass.]

You might be the only one, mate. [Don't ask, don't ask, don't--] Are you actually a giant rabbit or is this thanks to Asgard?

I'm actually a giant rabbit. A pooka, if were going to be exact about it.

[The question of "why" is on the tip of his tongue, but he knows better than to ask.]

How...unfortunate? I can see why shedding would be the biggest problem.

[Wise move.]

I'm not shedding.

No? I always thought that's exactly what animals do in the spring. Mammals shed, birds molt, snakes lose their skins. I suppose it's nothing to be embarrassed about so long as you don't mind the balding look.

I'm not an animal, and I control spring.

...like how Jack supposedly controls winter?

No supposedly about it. He messes with my egg hunts.

...egg hunts. Egg hunts? [Easter he's familiar with. Easter Bunny...not so much.] Whatever for?

I'm the Easter Bunny, it's what I do, Mate.

Well excuse me for never realizing egg hunts were equal to spring. [Or giant rabbits.] Does everyone know about this?

They happen at the same time, it's not hard, mate.

...Most people form Earth, yeah.

[Juuust arching an eyebrow higher.]

I am from Earth. Try again.

Seems you missed it, then. [Yes this is clearly Draco's fault.]

That or you just don't exist in my version of the earth. Ever consider that to be possible?

I don't reckon most people want to think about them not existing.
