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?

Date: 2013-04-18 12:29 am (UTC)Maybe you should've thought of presents, too. More people would like the season!
[Don't mind him, he just likes teasing people.]
[video]
Date: 2013-04-18 12:41 am (UTC)OR DON'T WAIT, BECAUSE THAT WOULD DEFEAT THE PURPOSE OF 'LEAST EXPECT IT'He throws up his hands.]This! This is what I don't get. Who takes one day of presents over a whole bunch of days with fun and snow and maybe not even having to go to school?
[video]
Date: 2013-04-18 01:05 am (UTC)Probably people who enjoy spreading joy and smiles among their family and friends by giving 'em small tokens of appreciation!
Either that or a bunch of materialistic assholes, whichever works.
[... Your faith in humanity is amazing, Crow.]
[video]
Date: 2013-04-18 02:10 pm (UTC)And sorry, Crow, but that's the wrong answer.] That does sound like North, but no. Boring people, that's who. People with no sense of fun and adventure.
[Who needs faith in humanity when you have magic snowballs?]
[video]
Date: 2013-04-18 10:40 pm (UTC)Crow scoffs at the comment, folding his arms. That "boring" part better not be referring to him, okay.]
Oi, who are you calling "no fun", eh?
[You can say many things about him, but definitely not that.]
[video]
Date: 2013-04-19 01:55 am (UTC)Only people who don't get that winter is the best possible time of year.
[video]
Date: 2013-04-20 12:00 am (UTC)... And yet, another smug smile spreads across Crow's face.]
C'mon now, you can't possibly believe there's no one in the world who'd be fun!
[video]
Date: 2013-04-20 12:13 am (UTC)Jack's eyes narrow, but he laughs anyway.]
Naw, but I wouldn't expect someone like you to know any of the cool ones.
[video]
Date: 2013-04-20 05:51 pm (UTC)This time, Crow doesn't look offended and chuckles instead, waggling his finger in front of the screen.]
Wrong again! For your information, Crow the Bullet-sama knows everything there is to know 'bout cool, so if you ask nicely, I might even give you a piece of advice or two!
[... But probably not on modesty.]
[video]
Date: 2013-04-20 10:07 pm (UTC)But pffffffffffft nice try.]
Ha, yeah, no. Maybe try again in a couple hundred years, kiddo. A+ for effort, though.
[They'd both need a dictionary to even find the meaning of the word.]
[video]
Date: 2013-04-20 10:54 pm (UTC)"Kiddo"? [The duelist lets out a snort. Who the hell does that guy think he is? CROW'S TOTALLY AND ADULT, OKAY.]
How old are you to call me that, huh?
[video]
Date: 2013-04-20 11:08 pm (UTC)Smug Jack is smug.]
Three-hundred, give or take. I mighta lost count somewhere in the middle there.
[video]
Date: 2013-04-20 11:24 pm (UTC)... Er. [Okay, how does he respond to that-- AHA.]
Well, that explains your hair, gramps.
[video]
Date: 2013-04-21 12:14 am (UTC)[And as always, Jack comports himself with nothing but dignity and decorum...]
[video]
Date: 2013-04-21 07:54 am (UTC)[Crow taps the mark on his cheek with his finger, not really bothered by the question. He's kind of used to people pointing those out, more so back home than here -- people from other worlds have turned out to be surprisingly tolerant in that aspect. Or maybe it's just because they don't know the meaning. Either way, the duelist simply shrugs.]
Just a bunch of criminal markers, 's all.
[video]
Date: 2013-04-21 05:54 pm (UTC)[This is the most dubious of dubious faces right here.]
[video]
Date: 2013-04-22 12:22 am (UTC)[Come on, don't give him that look.]
Back where I come from, they put 'em on people who break the law. Simple as that.
[... He doesn't sound terribly concerned, though.]
[video]
Date: 2013-04-22 12:34 am (UTC)You're not that old. What could you have possibly done to earn something like that?
[video]
Date: 2013-04-22 01:33 am (UTC)Just borrowed [read: stole] some stuff from the local law enforcement guys.
You don't need to be centuries old to do that.
[video]
Date: 2013-04-22 01:59 am (UTC)Naw, when you've had a few extra years, you don't get caught.
Guess I can't blame you too much for being boring if that's the kinda thing your world does, though.
[video]
Date: 2013-04-22 02:34 am (UTC)Yeah? Well how 'bout you prove how cool and fun you are, huh?
Go ahead, enlighten me.
[video]
Date: 2013-04-22 01:52 pm (UTC)These two need to just admit they're bffs already.He leans closer to the screen.]Have you ever shut down an entire state with a storm? [No? Exactly.] That's the sort of thing that gets you a permanent place on North's List.
[video]
Date: 2013-04-22 05:00 pm (UTC)They so are.The duelist frowns, clearly not impressed by that "achievement".]
Tch. Like there's any pride to take in making people's lives hard.
[video]
Date: 2013-04-22 08:04 pm (UTC)Anyway, if you do it right, everyone gets a couple days off, everything looks pretty and white for a while, and then life goes on.
[video]
Date: 2013-04-22 11:35 pm (UTC)How the hell do you think I am, some kinda petty pickpocket? You'd never have seen me take a single thing from anyone other than the Security!
[Which doesn't automatically make it right and he's well-aware of it, but hey, let it be known that Crow Hogan does have some standards.]
"Life goes on," my ass. Did you even think that through? If people don't get to work, they don't get paid; if they don't get paid, they've got less money to afford the bills, right? Now, what happens if you add cold and snow to that? That's right, dramatic increase of energy consumption to keep the house warm!
[Finally, he makes a pause in his monologue by slamming his palm on the nearby table.]
In other words, you could easily ruin a household's already tight budget with that!
[AND THAT IS THE MOST HORRIBLE THING EVER
wow talk about projecting much][video]
