Video 3: Someone's Got a New Toy

[justanexpression]

[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.))

Hey! Who said I was an elf?!

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

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

[justanexpression]

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.

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.

[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.]
