[ 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. ]

No. [Technically.]

Is that... what you are?

Re: [video]

[wintershepherd]

That's right. Where I'm from, I'm the Spirit of Winter.

[video]

[ironface]

That... is actually pretty interesting. [Rad. She means rad. Her tone next is light-hearted.]

Is making snow all you can do?

Re: [video]

[wintershepherd]

What, you don't think that's cool?

[ Yeah, the Spirit of Winter comes complete with terrible puns. ]

[video]

[ironface]

[She laughs. So is that the slang or just him? Well, she'll try it later.]

A little underwhelming, is all.

Re: [video]

[wintershepherd]

[ Heh... ]

Well, I guess I should work on that.

[video]

[ironface]

[...shit.]

Can you do anything with it?

Re: [video]

[wintershepherd]

Last year I made ice sculptures all over the city, and a rink and a sledding hill. Gave the whole city a snow weekend, in fact.

Can't be that extravagant at home without ticking off the Moon, so I might have been pushing it a little here.

[video]

[ironface]

That certainly sounds entertaining, though how exactly would that have angered the moon?

Re: [video]

[wintershepherd]

The Man in the Moon... he's in charge of the spirits, sort of. It's kind of complicated to explain but, mainly it comes down to you can't try to force belief on regular people, it ends badly and with one hell of a migraine.

[video]

[ironface]

People can't... don't usually believe in you? How?

Re: [video]

[wintershepherd]

Spirits have to be believed in to be seen and I wasn't for a long time. I think it's a dumb rule but I'm kind of biased.

[video]

[ironface]

I can imagine. Are there many spirits in your world?

Re: [video]

[wintershepherd]

Hundreds, at least! Sometimes they're associated with a particular time or place, sometimes not. Hmm, who's another one you might have heard of...

How about Lady Luck?

[video]

[ironface]

If she also goes by Fortuna, then yes.

Re: [video]

[wintershepherd]

Not sure, but she might! Seems like our worlds aren't entirely different then.

[video]

[ironface]

It does seem that way.

Do you have a name?

Re: [video]

[wintershepherd]

Jack Frost... what's yours?

[video]

[ironface]

[SKJDHFKJSHDFKH]

It's Isabeau. You... do exist in my world.

Re: [video]

[wintershepherd]

Isabeau, that's a really pretty name.

Huh-- I do? Really? That's great!

[video]

[ironface]

Thank you, and in addition, everyone can see you, too.

Re: [video]

[wintershepherd]

They can? So is he like the one from that movie?

[ Jack is talking about the 70's claymation movie that Kyle showed him. ]

[video]

[ironface]

What movie?

Re: [video]

[wintershepherd]

Oh, is that not a thing? A little different worlds then. It was a movie from about 40 years ago about another Jack Frost.

[video]

[ironface]

I haven't heard of it, but that doesn't mean it didn't exist in my world. Either way, what do you think of that portrayal of you?
