❅1st Snow Day❅

[frostyfuntimes]

So.

[A boy in a frosted blue hoody and white hair sits comfortably...on top of a roof. He has a staff perched against his shoulder and the stars are shining bright behind him. Hovering over his shoulder is a Komory Bat looking curious at the world around it and flitting around on and off screen. Eventually the bat settles onto the crook of the staff and hangs upside down. The boy glances up at the bat and looks like he's not sure if he should laugh or frown. Over all he just looks awkward and unsure of himself which is kind of a new feeling for him.]

I've never had a pet before, dreams or otherwise. It's kind of weird.

[He should probably say something else...but what? Jack looks thoughtful. Clearly, he hasn't done this before]

Everyone can see me though, right? [Frown.] There isn't going to be much point in me using this communicator watch if you can't. The Moogle looked at me like I was insulting him or something when I told him I didn't think it would work, but I guess if this is a dream things are different, right?

[He looks guarded, like he's not sure he wants to believe in that just yet. Too much prior disappointment]

Oh well. [Shrugs it off, let's just pretend everything is fine even if inside he's nearly freaking out.] I guess as long as the Moogles and the bat can see me it shouldn't be a big deal. I have to admit, the Nightmares you have around here are still a lot nicer looking than any of Pitch's.

[Jack swings his staff. Momentarily forgetting that the Komory Bat is hanging from him. The bat squeaks and flutters off. He looks up at it.] Maybe that's what all of this is about...maybe this is how I'm supposed to be a Guardian [Wait, that's admitting he WANTS to be a guardian, Jack backtracks and shakes his head.] or whatever. Although you'd think Sandy would be the one fighting in a dream world, not me.

[The bat lands on the staff again, testing it to see if Jack is done bouncing and twirling it. Jack looks sad for a moment but then brushes it aside. He's gotten bored of talking to himself. He stands up, kicking his staff up, once again disturbing the bat.]

Come on Snowball. Let's check out this town.

[trademark_skull]

Ah, well.. I can see you. [But then he's used to seeing a lot of strange things.]

[Kind of not sure what to say about the rest.]

[Video]

[frostyfuntimes]

[He looks both relieved and excited to hear that actually, even if it may seem like a silly thing to be excited over.]

Great! I guess the whole dream thing makes the rules a little different.

[Video]

[trademark_skull]

Erm, maybe.. [Should he just mention that he was a demon, or let the guy have his moment?]

Also did you say something about battling Nightmares before? [As though right on time, a Meow Wow decided to take up the whole screen to see Jack too.]

[allfunandgamesuntil]

Hey! Welcome to the party; I'm York and this is Delta.

[York's hebby repp and meow wow press into the picture behind him.]

I can see you too; is that weird?

[frostyfuntimes]

Hello there!

[Woah. An adult can see him too! Amazing. Jack's expression changes between shock and excitement, like he can't decide which to go with. This was kind of cool, especially after everything that had been happening to him over the past few hours alone.]

A little, I mean, most kids don't even see me and adults, well, you can just forget about them. This will make things interesting.

[allfunandgamesuntil]

Well, if you need any help with anything, don't be afraid to ask. People are pretty friendly around here. I'm gonna send along a map Delta made; it'll tell you where there are more nightmares, if you want to avoid them.

[York sends along the file.]

[dork_of_keys]

[And puzzled Sora is puzzled.]

Why wouldn't anyone be able to see you?

[Meanwhile, his own bat is squeaking curiously at the communicator, curious about the new Spirit Dream Eater.]

[frostyfuntimes]

[Yep. Happy Jack is happy and excited and maybe also a little in shock. But most of all he loves being seen! He needs to boost after the past few hours especially. Let's just say that before getting here he'd practically given up on anyone seeing him and now ALL these people could see him and acknowledge him. This place really was a dream!] Great! I just...wow, wasn't really expecting that furball to be right.

[Sobers up a bit and shrugs]

It's just how things have always been. Usually people have to believe in me to see me and when your competeing with guys like the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus, it can be kinda hard for a guy to get any credit.

[dork_of_keys]

[Let's just say Sora's still a little puzzled. This guy's obviously not normal, not human if he needs for people to believe in him to even be seen normally. However, this hardly matters. He seems nice enough and Sora likes making new friends. There were some other things mentioned that he's curious about, but one thing at a time.]

Huh. I guess I can see how it would be surprising for people to be able to see you when they couldn't before. Anyway, my name is Sora. It's nice to meet you.

[brodakota]

[Here, have a little hologram looking at you]

I can see you.

[frostyfuntimes]

Oh this is looking good. I guess that furball was right.

[brodakota]

Why? Are you not supposed to be seen?

[go_dream]

I can see you. Why do you ask? People fight in dream worlds where you're from?

[frostyfuntimes]

[Another person can see him! Jack is just grinning and looking all kinds of excited, which helps distract him from thinking about the state of his home, but it'll come crashing back later. He's practically bouncing on his heels.]

Humans have never really seen me before, this is kind of a first. I guess that furball was right though, people can see me here.

I don't know about dream worlds, but they can fight using dreamsand, so I guess that's not at all the same actually.

[go_dream]

Why wouldn't we be able to see--wait, you're not human? [He blinks, a little surprised, but smiles. This guy seems pretty happy about it.] Pretty sure everyone can see you here.

I'm guessing dreamsand isn't regular sand, is it? [Using it to fight?] How does that work?

[unrecovered]

[He's picked up on more than a few worrying things here, but one in particular sticks out.]

Pitch?

[Wouldn't be talking to you if he couldn't see you, kid. Wash likes to think he's not that crazy.]

[frostyfuntimes]

He's the Boogeyman. He's not hanging around here is he? It would be up his alley with the whole nightmare thing going on here.

[He'll accept that. Plus, Jack's been getting enough responses to believe it.]

[shadearchivist]

[Ienzo nods politely.]

It's good to meet you. I am Ienzo. It appears that the rules of this world differ from those of other places; another person familiar with nightmares and dreams also says that what they've found here is different than what they are used to at home. I suspect everyone will be able to see you.

[frostyfuntimes]

Hi Ienzo.

I kind of started figuring that out when I noticed the lack of Man in the Moon and, well, moon in general. It's gone all down hill from there.

So everyone keeps telling me. It's a great change of pace.

[colorbymemory]

[Namine smiles. She figures it's pretty clear by now that everyone can see him, so she'll try address what he said otherwise.]

I haven't heard of Pitch or Sandy, but I'll let you know if I hear anything about them.

The Nightmares might look nice, but they're dangerous.

[Then her own bat decides to land on her shoulder and chitter a greeting.]

[frostyfuntimes]

[He's not hopeful, especially about Sandy. But Jack's not going to bring THAT up right now. Instead he just smiles.]

I appreciate it.

[He's walking while he talks, Jack's kind of excited by all this and would rather focus on all this "new world" stuff.]

I'm sure I can handle them. Can't be much worse than one Pitch was throwing around.

[raisethemoon]

[Speaking of roofs, Luna's been spending a lot of time up there herself lately, sitting and looking up at the sky rather broodingly. The boy is a welcome distraction, and upon seeing him she stands and starts making her way over, easily jumping and gliding from roof to roof.]

Hail, newcomer!

[frostyfuntimes]

[He hadn't exactly been expecting other people or, well, anyone on the roofs. Jack jumps and spins around at the sudden loud voice to his left, his staff glowing slightly as he points it towards the "threat" And then he has to resist the urge to gape at the pony.]

Woah! You're...

[A unicorn? A pegasus? Blue? Jack opens and closes his mouth a few times.]

different.

[salvagedlight]

Why wouldn't we be able to see you?

[He is a bit confused by that proclamation. The only way he can think of it working is if Jack was under the Mini spell and people were literally overlooking him, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.]

[frostyfuntimes]

Most people can't. See, there's this...rule, I guess you could call it, that people who don't believe in me can't see me.
