Video 1: A Challenger Appears!
[The angle when the gear turns on is... strange. Like it’s being held by someone too distracted to pay attention to where it might be pointing. There’s part of a chin, a shoulder, and plenty of scenery. The top of a whitish blob flops past the bottom of the screen. From the sound it makes, it must be a Seel.]
This is really weird. You know that?
[The Seel gives a cheerful affirmative from somewhere. Suddenly, the picture shifts, moving erratically until it stops with a soft thud as the gear is dropped and lands in the grass. At least it has a good view, now, framing most of a boy in his teens, crouching on his toes next to a backpack as he rummages through it, occasionally pulling things out for a closer look. His blue hooded sweatshirt has seen better days, and his pants don’t seem to be from quite the right century. Together with the ice-white hair, it makes something of an odd picture.]
If this is... Naw, it’s way too cutesy to be one of Pitch’s tricks.
[He looks up, past the gear at where the sounds of the Seel are coming from. His smile grows, just a bit.]
You sure you’re not a Selkie?
[A negative. The gear is nudged closer, and he laughs as he reaches for it.]
Okay, okay. Remind me to introduce you to Sandy sometime.
Now what am I supposed to do with it?
[Cue the random pushing of buttons. Electronics-abuse is always the answer, right?]

Trust me, they're not just stories. Kind of stuck up, though.
[The gear is getting a much more considering look now.] Games, huh?
Video
[grins and nods]
Yeah, you just go to the Pokemart and they will upload games and other things on it. I use it more for drawing, but yeah, they are pretty handy.
Video
You draw, huh? I've got a friend who'd probably like you, then. I'm pretty hopeless.
Except with snowflakes.
[Ha ha, yes, funniest joke in the world, that.]
Re: Video
Like drawing in the snow? Or with actual snowflakes?
[curious]
Video
Little bit of both. You might call me a Jack-of-all-trades.
[But only if you were a person with a horrible sense of humor. Like Jack.]
Re: Video
[holding back a chuckle]
My name is Steve, how about you?
Video
[jaunty wave] Jack Frost.
Re: Video
[smiles, this kid has probably always been teased over this]
Video
[Finally, someone understands!]
Well, minus the nipping part. Seriously, who does that? Not this guy.
Re: Video
Video
[Suddenly, he really misses Jamie.]
Not that I've ever made anyone sick, either. I mean, a broken bone here or there, lost tooth, maybe, but no one ever said fun had to be safe, right? Right.
Re: Video
As long as its in good fun, then yeah, it's not always safe. [if it's you being a buly fun, then no] I was a frail, tiny kid, so fun always came with hazards.
Video
Hey, at least you got better, right? Sounds like a friend of this kid I know. ...Don't think Monty's gonna come out of it looking quite like you, though. [Even Jack felt bad for how often that kid could go through pairs of glasses.]
Video
I had help to turn out this way, not entirely how I was supposed to look. [yeah... A lot of "help"]
Video
Funny. So did I.
