[ Guess whose internal almanac confirmed that today is officially the first day of Autumn? That's right, this guy! Who's currently bouncing around his treehouse like an over-caffeinated grasshopper while Baby Tooth peeks in the corner of the console screen with an expression like welp that's Jack for you. Whether viewers can perceive them, especially the newer arrivals, will remain to be seen. ]

WHOOOHOOO! Goodbye Summer, goodbye! Have a good vacation! Don't hurry back!

[ And then with a final whoop of joy, the feed turns off! Yeah, that's all he wanted to share. ]

... Oh.

Well, okay. I'm Jack, it's nice to meet you, uh, Red.

[undoubtable]

[ Two names? She can relate. ]

Maybe you should just call me Betty. Red's what they call my old man.

[wintershepherd]

[ Names and titles. ]

Betty, then! Sorry for not greeting you properly before now.

[undoubtable]

Unless greeting's your job, you don't have to apologize.

[wintershepherd]

Uh, well...

[ It technically was. ]

[undoubtable]

[ She waves a hand. ]

It's fine. Apology accepted.

[wintershepherd]

Thanks. It looks like you're pretty well settled in by now anyway.

[undoubtable]

It's not my first time traveling to other dimensions. You get used to it.

[wintershepherd]

Huh. That's... convenient, I guess?

[ what else do you say to that... ]

[undoubtable]

I thought that was why they brought me here. I was told it wasn't.

[wintershepherd]

Some days I wonder if even the Emperor knows why each of us are here, specifically.

[undoubtable]

Somebody knows. Just need to find out who it is.

[wintershepherd]

What are you gonna do when you find them?

[undoubtable]

Smash them.

[wintershepherd]

Uh... metaphor?

[undoubtable]

Do I look like I talk in metaphors?

[wintershepherd]

[ Oddly, Jack hasn't reacted at all to her appearance. As a spirit, he's just used to hanging around beings that aren't always human in appearance. ]

I don't like when people make decisions about me based on how I look... why would I do it to someone else?

[undoubtable]

[ This has got to be the weirdest place in the multiverse. It's the only one she's ever been to where no one seems to bat an eyelash over the whole Hulk issue. The novelty still hasn't worn off. ]

It's what everybody does.

[wintershepherd]

Not here. Guess this must be a pretty big day for you then.

[undoubtable]

Not really. My standard for big days is a little high.

[wintershepherd]

Well, stick around then. This place accepts challenges.

[undoubtable]

I'm not planning on heading home any time soon.
