justanexpression | Video 3: Someone's Got a New Toy

[When the feed turns on, it's immediately obvious that Jack is excited about something. He's practically bouncing, and if he had his powers, he'd definitely be in the air by now. Instead, he has to settle for grinning at the feed.]

Okay. This? This is the best thing ever!

[He turns the gear around to find Phil the Seel looking surprisingly smug for a Seel.]

Okay, Phil. Let's go. Show 'em your new trick.

[Even off-camera, the excitement in Jack's voice is obvious. And contagious, from the sound Phil makes as he shifts to face a large tree that has apparently been used for target practice this morning. As he concentrates, a block of ice starts to form just in front of his horn before he launches it at the tree where it shatters spectacularly. Somebody is learning Ice Shard, apparently.

Jack comes back in the shot with a whoop. You can almost see the gears turning as Jack thinks of all the things he can do with Phil's new talents.]

How awesome is that? He'll be making snowballs in no time.

((OOC: In case you're ~~lame~~ ~~clueless~~ unused to Pokemon like I am, Phil's Ice Shard is similar to the Mamoswine's here. Less powerful, obviously, but he's still learning.))

[Steve looks tired, but is smiling and is for once absent of his Eevee draped on his shoulder]

Looks like you're doing a fine job training him.

[It's Blake's turn to be an eye-rolling ass.] You caught me.

What is it with all you teenagers and calling yourselves all this crazy bullshit? Do you have that much time on your hands? Whatever happened to just playing baseball or something?

Just don't go causing us a second winter apocalypse. There's sledding and then there's that.

Snowballs don't really do that great as baseballs. [Duh.]

Now you're talking. Don't forget the jumps, too. Jumps are practically the best part.

I'd need a lot more than just Phil to do that, wouldn't I?

[But how MANY more... now that's a question.]

[Tired is a new look on him. As is the lack of Eevee. Jack might be a little concerned.]

He's mostly training himself, but thanks. You doing okay?

Totally. That's why it ramps up almost ninety degrees before you hit the water.

[If you're looking for people impressed with the little performance... well, Crow isn't one of them.]

Too bad that ain't enough to cover the whole town in ice, Snowball.

[Now that was actually a good question.]

I would imagine he could? That would make sense if an Ice-type Pokemon's ice got colder as the Pokemon grew stronger... but I haven't been here long enough to have anything to back this theory up, so I wouldn't take my word for it if I were you... You should ask people who have trained Ice-types for a long time.

[It's a seriously good question. Jack needs more ice types to test this already.]

Yeah, I will. Hey, thanks. If that's actually possible, I'll need to try it.

Not yet. It's not yet.

But you get enough of them with enough practice?

[Oh, yeah. Plans upon plans.]

You would be surprised how much power one little pokemon can hold!

[throws his hands up] Fine. You're a magical snow elf from that shitty song they play in malls around Christmas. Good fucking luck with that.

Hey! Who said I was an elf?!

[If he'd ever met North's elves, he'd know that that was a serious insult.]

[He laughs, thinking about Baby Tooth. Sometimes you can't judge a package by its size, no.]

Okay, maybe. I'll be sure to warn you if I figure out how.

You did! Or a fairy tale creature or something. What difference does it make? It's all made-up bullshit.

It's only a huge difference. [Again, duh.]

Look. I'm me, okay, which is... well, was... a winter spirit. I'm not an elf. Elves are small. [He held his hands about a foot apart, accounting for the hat.] And pretty much stupid. But they're definitely not made up.

[huff] This is why adults are lame. You all fail at believing in anything worth believing in.

[Wooo. Scary. Crow's response, however, is a short, amused snort.]

I'd like to see that.

[Not happening unless you own Articuno or Regice or similar badass shit.]

Just wait, then. I don't know how, but I'm gonna manage it.

Fine, fine. Just don't make me wait too long!

[Admittedly, he's rather fond of Jack's enthusiasm and determination, but you can't expect him not to be an ass, now can you?]

Fake is fake. Doesn't matter what kind.

Funny thing. I've never seen one.

Nobody needs elves and Jack Frost and other crap once they're out of grade school. You shoud've grown out of it by now.

Seems a mix in the training for me too, they learn new moves, I just figure out how to work with them.

I'm good, been working at the lighthouse at night. You seem like you're doing well for yourself.

[he's not getting a lot of sleep, training during the day and working at night, so he's running off naps and he's seems to have forgotten that his body, as it is now, doesn't function as well as it used to off such little sleep]

[He looks away, frown growing as the man's disbelief stomps over a few too many old sore spots.]

You don't grow out of being you. And you're never gonna see anything if you're determined not to.

[He cuts the feed with another huff.]

[Jack shudders dramatically at the word 'working.' It's practically against his very nature, after all.]

Not working all night, that's for sure.
