❅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.

Comments

[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.

[colorbymemory]

[Hearing about his fears for Sandy would definitely be saddening.]

No problem.

[Namine doesn't blame him for being excited; there's a lot to be excited about.]

I don't know Pitch or what he made, so I can't say. If you can fight and have your Spirit with you, you should be okay if you're careful.

[Then she remembers something.]

Oh! I'm Namine.

[frostyfuntimes]

Well, if they're like Pitch's nightmares then I shouldn't have too much trouble.

[Unless the numbers overwhelm him. But, again, not going to mention that. Also, seriously these things look nothing like Pitch's nightmares so he's confident in his ability to deal with them.

Wait...he looks up at the bat hovering around him.]

You mean this thing can help fight the nightmares? She doesn't look like she can do all that much.

[The bat squeaks indignantly.]

Hm? Oh, I'm Jack Frost.

[colorbymemory]

If you're sure.

[He knows his own strength and Pitch's Nightmares better than she does. That said, Nightmares here can overwhelm a person by sheer force of numbers, if one isn't careful to deal with one group at a time or just finds a large nest of them. Usually, though, a team of person and Spirit is enough if the person has some fighting ability.

Speaking of Spirits...]

She can--I know Batty has helped me a lot.

[On her screen, Batty puffs up with pride.]

Nice to meet you.

[frostyfuntimes]

Oh. You have one of the bat ones too. Honestly, they look more like stuffed animals to me. But we'll see about that.

[Snowball huffs and decides she's had enough. She headbutts the back of Jack's head. Jack yelps and whirls around on the bat.]

Hey! That was uncalled for.

[Snowball returns the glare and Jack rubs at the back of his head...but then realizes that if the bat can cause that much pain when she's just giving a headbutt...well maybe there's hope for her yet.]

[colorbymemory]

[Batty makes some annoyed-sounding chittering noises that might give the impression he thinks Snowball had the right idea. They're NOT stuffed animals, thankyouverymuch. For her part, Namine manages to settle him down, then offers a sheepish smile.]

I'm sorry about that. They're stronger than they look, though

[frostyfuntimes]

Starting to get that.

[He says this while scowling at Snowball who just smugly flutters back to her perch on the crook of his staff.]

[colorbymemory]

[Batty looks kind of smug over the fact that Snowball proved a point. Namine shoots him a Look.]

Is there anything you need for now? The Moogles should have given you some munny, so you can stay at the hotel.

[frostyfuntimes]

Yeah he mentioned that. [Jack holds up the bag containing the supplies he'd be given before shoving it back into the pocket of his hoody. He wasn't really going to stay in the hotel. He'd never stayed anywhere before so why start now?

Still, he figured this was the type of person who wouldn't accept that so he doesn't mention it. Maybe he'll save the munny for something else.]

I think I've got everything I need. Really I just need to get used to this place, it's been awhile since anywhere has been "new" to me.

[colorbymemory]

[Namine would definitely advise him to stay inside, at least when he sleeps. Avoiding Nightmare attacks is a good thing.

That said, Bolin sleeps in his earth tent and manages pretty well.]

Okay. If you need anything, you know how to reach us.
