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.))

Not yet. It's not yet.

But you get enough of them with enough practice?

[Oh, yeah. Plans upon plans.]

[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?]

[Of course not. It would be the first sign of a bodysnatcher if he weren't.

Jack just laughs.]

Oh, now you want to make demands?

"Demands"? That's a harsh word. [He waves his hand dismissively.] Nah, I'd just like to see you put your money where your mouth is.

[The duelist crosses his arms with a smirk.]

Unless that's too much to expect...?

[Cue dramatic eyeroll and a cocky grin.]

As if. You'll be the first person I call.

What an honor! [/sarcasm] I'll be looking forward to it--

[He makes a pause, giving him a thoughtful look.]

... By the way, I don't think I ever caught your name? I'm fine with sticking to "Snowball" [and he will anyway] but...

[Luckily, he's too used to Bunny's nicknames to be too fazed by 'Snowball.']

It's Jack Frost.

[Good, because it looks like it's gonna stick.]

"Jack"? [He repeats the name with a raised eyebrow, surprise clear in his voice, and then shakes his head with a smile.]

Should've figured... that'd actually explain a lot.

[He bristles. It's a good name, okay?!]

What's that supposed to mean?

[It's a good name alright... In one way or another.]

Hm? Oh, nothing... Just, y'know. Most, if not all people named "Jack" that I've met seem to be completely hopeless.

[His moron of an adopted brother included.]

I think I'm starting to notice a pattern there...

[Huff.]

Whatever. You just can't appreciate it.
