Video 2: Being Human (Action for Cherrygrove City)

[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?

They do? I don't know too much about the human Santa Claus, admittedly! Although I know he breaks into houses on Christmas to deliver presents.

[justanexpression]

[...Snicker.]

I don't think North thinks of it as breaking in, but yeah, that's him. He brings toys to all the kids that believe in him. That's a lot.

But where I'm from, the story goes that Santa has his elves make the toys. Except the elves are about as worthless as it's possible to be and still be breathing.

...Never eat anything an elf gives you. They probably licked it first.

[timelymaid]

I will make a note of it! Although I don't think there are any elves here, that I've met.

[justanexpression]

You'd know 'em, if you did. They're not all there, if you know what I mean.

[timelymaid]

I know what you mean! I also haven't met anyone who said they were a yeti prior to this place, so...
