❄ third snow

[Bunny]

Hey, sleepyhead!

-----

[Nanako & Clementine]

Thanks for helping with Easter. You okay? There's been some shake-ups-- literally-- so I wanted to see how you're doing.

-----

[Arya]

You're on the expedition, right? How are things going?

[Jack can be found inside today, strangely enough. He brings a chill breeze into the library as he looks through the books, hitting up the folklore sections as well as anything that might help him learn about Paradisa. Of course, there isn't much about the latter.

He perches on top of a tall bookcase, legs crossed beneath him, and props open the journal.]

You'd think with the amount of weirdness Paradisa has, there would be tons of books written about it. I'm a little disappointed. [And bored.] Does anyone have recommendations? Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough.

[ Those are totally not the sounds of a fight or screaming or panicking or anything of the sort in the background. It's totally cheerful down here. ]

I can't really talk! It's all seven hells here!

Arya

[snowstorms]

[... THAT IS NOT WHAT HE EXPECTED AND IT'S NOT WHAT HE WANTS TO HEAR]

Arya! Get out of there, get to a safe place. We'll send help!

Jack

[wolfchild]

When?! In a week's time? We'll all be dead by then!

Arya

[snowstorms]

Grab everyone and fall back towards the castle! Maybe we can meet you halfway!

Hi! It was a lot of fun. We should do something like that for all the holidays.

I'm fine. I was in the castle when it happened... it was scary, but nothing was damaged as bad as the city. [The poor people, there.] Were you okay?

[snowstorms]

That's a great idea! I bet Santa will need all the help he can get, too.

[A small breath of relief.] I'm glad you're all right. I was in the city when it happened, but I didn't get hurt. [He's too fast for that.]

Some of the residents were helping rebuild. The townspeople will be okay, too.

[willrememberthat]

... Santa? [Someone missed that!]

That's good. I know some kids haven't found their parents yet... [ :( ]

[snowstorms]

Yep! Santa got here a little while ago. Came down the chimney and everything.

[... oh no.] It'll all turn out. I'll see what I can do, too. I'm a master person finder.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

I'm awake Frost. What do you want?

Bunny

[snowstorms]

Why don't we do something for the kids? I think they need some cheering up.

Of course, if you want to... crawl back into your hole and hibernate, that's fine. I'll just tell them the Easter Bunny doesn't care about anything but Easter.

Jack

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Boy you did not]

Do you want me to job you one again? Because you're well on your way to it if you keep talking like that.

...

What did you have in mind? For the kids.

[wantsiceland]

Written by people like us? Or by the first ones?

[snowstorms]

Either or. There's just not much literature about this place. I can't even find a map.

[wantsiceland]

And I'm gonna guess you've checked the library.

What about old stuff in the journals?

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine would give him suggestions, but she's a little busy kicking alien butt right now.

Maybe next time?]

[snowstorms]

[Sense of timing: he doesn't have it.]

[wizard_redfive]

[It's not like he could have known. Instant webcam sadly isn't a thing in the Dead Zone.]

[bravelittlegirl]

[Suddenly not having to go to school or do chores or anything has left kind of a huge void in Ib's daily routine. But libraries are a good place to go when you're bored, so she's decided to give it a try. It's way huger than she expected, though. Not quite knowing where to start, she begins wandering through the stacks, looking for the children's section.

She is not looking up, but she shivers a bit when she passes beneath the place Jack is sitting.]

Brr... it's cold in here.

yay!

[snowstorms]

[He's not invisible anymore thanks to the castle's interference. Since then, he's found sneaking up on people is generally rude. That doesn't stop him from leaaaaaaaaaaning down to say hello.]

Really? I think it's perfect.

[bravelittlegirl]

[Ib gasps and takes a step backward, instinctively guarding the bright red rose she's carrying. Jumpy? Yeah, a bit. She relaxes only slightly when she realizes he's not an immediate threat.]

Who are you?

[adorbs]

I'm okay! Are you okay?

filter

[snowstorms]

Right as rain over here.

It seems like most people are fine after all of that, but I wanted to make sure.

You don't live by yourself, do you?

[1nc0mpr3h3n751bl3]

Don't fall! [Mituna has come upon Jack and is standing beneath him, looking up through his visor with curiosity] Ith it better to read up there?

MITUNA BABY♥

[snowstorms]

[Oh, he's... interesting. Jack eyes him with a similar amount of curiosity.] I've got an impeccable sense of balance, I promise. And I like heights, actually. Helps me think.

What about you, bee man? You like flying?

Yay! <3

[1nc0mpr3h3n751bl3]

Heightth are good. [He looks up, then down, then up again, pouting just a bit] I like to fly, but I can't. I like beeth.
