justanexpression[Obviously, someone has been practicing. When the feed kicks on, it's a properly framed picture of one Jack Frost. He's set up camp in the woods fringing Cherrygrove City with a good view of the beach and a frolicking Seel in the background behind him. He also looks more cheerful and less confused than last time.
Oh, and the egg in his lap. That's new, too.]
So, everyone was awesome about answering my questions last time, now I've got more of them.
Cherrygrove is nice. Been here a couple days, now. [He gestures over his shoulder.] You can tell Phil likes it. Kind of got lost on the way here, yeah, yeah, I know it's a straight line, okay, and Phil is about as slow as slow can be, but now that I'm here, I've got this guy. [He pokes at the egg. It's blue and white and people in the know might recognize it as a Pachirisu egg. Jack is not in the know.] Or girl. How do you tell?
For that matter, what do I do with it? Am I supposed to keep it warm? Someone mentioned a deal for new people just showing up, and that's totally me, so I, uh... just kind of hit buttons until I saw something that sounded good, but now I'm thinking that wasn't the best idea?
[He takes a second to glance over his shoulder, probably to make sure his Seel hadn't been eaten by a shark in the last few minutes or anything. If nothing else, this place seems to be teaching him a really strange sense of responsibility. If only Bunny could see him now.
He resettles, placing the gear on the ground in front of him so it can pick up a full body shot, including the sneakers he wasn't wearing before.]
Okay, second question, and... I know how crazy this sounds, but at least some of you weren't human before getting here, right? Pretty sure I've met one already. [Again, unless Thor's parents had some ridiculous delusions of grandeur.] So the question is- how do you stand it? Not the being here, that's turning out pretty cool, but the rest of it. All the getting hungry, and tired, and walking everywhere, not to mention buying stuff. Am I gonna have to get a- [shudder] -job?

Just keep the egg with you and take care of it. You don't have to sit on it or roll it, I don't even think you have to keep it warm, they're hardy. I just put them in my bag when walking around, but my Riolu seems to like to huddle against them at night. I don't think it helped or hurt any.
I also just did a "whatever sounds good" when picking my free egg, got this one [pets his Eevee who is slung over his shoulder like always] so maybe you'll luck out too.
Video
Date: 2013-04-15 08:02 pm (UTC)Take care of it. Right. No playing basketball with it, then? [Haha, that's a funny joke, no, don't answer that.]
Phil doesn't really seem to care much either way. I think he likes sleeping more than egg-sitting. But thanks for the advice.
...Okay, no, I've gotta ask. What's with the outfit?
Video
Date: 2013-04-15 08:09 pm (UTC)Um, back home this is... one of my uniforms. At least it's not super shiny red and gold?
Video
Date: 2013-04-15 08:31 pm (UTC)[Waaaaaaaait a second... The mention of red and gold together with Steve's uniform jogs Jack's memory. Halloween is only practically his favorite holiday! He totally should have figured it out before. He points at the screen on his gear.] Captain America! Man, I shoulda recognized it! Only like half the kids in the WORLD dressed up like that last year.
[Yeah, he's recognized the UNIFORM now, but it obviously hasn't quite clicked that... well... Steve ain't just wearing it for fun. For someone who regularly hangs out with Santa Claus, you'd think he'd be quicker on the uptake.]
((We kinda discussed this, but if it's not cool, let me know and I'll change it ASAP.))
Video
Date: 2013-04-15 08:54 pm (UTC)[okay, he can understand kids dressing up as him after New York, still embarrassing, but when he was in the USO kids would play pretend as him. It's still hard to accept without a sense of modesty. Also, it seems strange to him that kids outside of the USA would dress up as him]
Yeah, saving a major city can do that.
Video
Date: 2013-04-15 09:24 pm (UTC)Still, he's suitably impressed.] So... wow, you're actually him?
[He barely avoids the 'I didn't think you really existed!' because that would be just too much irony, even for him.]
Video
Date: 2013-04-15 11:01 pm (UTC)Yeah, I am, though I get the feeling I'm more legend in most people's home worlds.
[actually he's a comic or movie or whatever, but no one has clarified for him yet, he just drew a conclusion that made sense to him. It doesn't bother him]
Video
Date: 2013-04-15 11:30 pm (UTC)I mean, you've got posters.
Video
Date: 2013-04-17 06:35 am (UTC)It doesn't really bother me, that I'm not 'real' in other places. I'm real enough in mine that it's good enough for me.
Video
Date: 2013-04-17 02:50 pm (UTC)Yeah, but don't you want them to believe in you?
[Jack, honey, not everyone is transparent, or a fairy from Neverland.]
Re: Video
Date: 2013-04-17 03:19 pm (UTC)Well, yeah, everyone wants to be acknowledged or believed in on some level, it's odd to meet people who know me only as a fictional character, bothers me a tad, but I guess in the end I most want them to believe in what Captain America stands for, because as him, I'm a personification of an ideal. And so, even if he's a book or comic, Captain America still exists and is still that ideal that kids, well anyone, can look up to, and that means a lot to me.
[smiles, because it does, the fact that his message continues on to other worlds in someway is pretty amazing. Better than not being there at all]
Video
Date: 2013-04-17 04:38 pm (UTC)...Maybe you shoulda been a Guardian. You sure sound like one.
Re: Video
Date: 2013-04-20 01:49 am (UTC)Guardian? [pretty sure the definition of the word Jack is using is different than the one Steve is thinking of]
Video
Date: 2013-04-20 01:57 am (UTC)In my world, the Guardians help protect kids from... well, lots of things. They... We all take care of something to make sure kids get to be kids. Hope, wonder, good dreams. Fun. You know. Santa Claus and stuff.
Video
Date: 2013-04-20 02:39 am (UTC)That sounds real keen, I would have been honored to be a one. You guys must do some great work.
Video
Date: 2013-04-20 02:19 pm (UTC)More of an Easter Kangaroo, really.]We did just save the world from the Boogeyman.
[...Jack, honey, that makes you sound crazy, not brave.]
Video
Date: 2013-04-21 09:18 am (UTC)Like... the monster under the bed my mom told me about?
[he wants to believe you Jack, he does, he's already believing you're Jack Frost and you know Santa, but give him some wiggle room to work up to this one]
Video
Date: 2013-04-21 05:03 pm (UTC)[At least now he's REALIZING it sounds crazy.]
Okay, so children's beliefs are kind of a big deal, right? That's basically how Santa and the Tooth Fairy and all them exist, because kids believe they do. And the same is kinda true of Pitch. Uh, that's the Boogeyman. Except he feeds on fears instead of good things like fun.
So... yeah. He's real, just like the rest of us.
Video
Date: 2013-04-21 09:05 pm (UTC)Okay, I can get behind that... [mythology] logic.
Video
Date: 2013-04-21 10:52 pm (UTC)Steve'll probably meet her soon, solve that problem.It is a lot to question, especially for an adult who probably stopped believing ages ago if he ever did at all. The fact that he's trying makes him pretty cool in Jack's book. He chuckles.]We're a bunch of myths and fairy tales. It is a little farfetched, huh?
Video
Date: 2013-04-21 11:04 pm (UTC)At first, yeah, but I didn't believe Thor and Loki were real until I met them. Even fought along side Thor, so I know he's the real deal. [though not a god in his book still] So other myths are real, it shouldn't surprise me.
Video
Date: 2013-04-21 11:30 pm (UTC)You're already ahead of most adults, then. It's a good start.
[grin] At this rate, you're gonna end up getting presents for Christmas, too.
Re: Video
Date: 2013-04-23 12:58 am (UTC)I've always liked to think I was on the nice list. [grins]
