justanexpression [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?]

Ledges. Stay away from ledges, boy. If you must, jump down them. Never try to climb up them. Ever.

Ledges. Evil. Gotcha.
((OMG I love you so much right now. I will never stop giggling over that mental image.))

(( His first week in-game, he tried to take a short cut and wound up breaking his brand new nose. 8I JACK HAS FEELINGS ABOUT LEDGES.))
