[ 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, no, I just- [ it's almost like the Mist, from her world. you have to know, for sure, if something is "mythical" or whatever the case, in order to see it clearly, and see it for what it truly is. and in this case, "it' is a boy. ..guy. he can't be older than her. but anyway, she blinks a few times, as if clearing her vision, but then she's all smiles ]

No, it's alright. I think my console just had a moment. Anyway, now I understand your enthusiasm for the change in seasons, at least. I'm Rachel, and I am genuinely pleased to meet you, Jack.

[ Jack laughed a little, smiling at her and even Baby Tooth seems pleased. ]

It's very nice to meet you as well, Rachel.

[ and okay she just can't help this blurt- ]

-- I met Pan once! The God of the Wild. It wasn't under the best circumstances, but he was brilliant. I just- imagine you'd all be friends. I didn't even imagine that you all were Guardians, per se, but that makes sense. Wow, that makes so much sense.

[ yo pardon this nerd ]

[wintershepherd]

Pan, huh? That sounds like a wild time!

[ yes he really did just make that pun ]

You'd be surprised... how many stories aren't really just stories. Or Christmas carols, in my case.

[truesight]

[ he still gets a laugh for it, even if she winces before it first ]

I've actually gotten really good at not being surprised by stories being true, actually. In my world, that- kind of happened to me a lot. [ only it was the stories in her head that ended up being true, more stories from books. although those counted, too ] And yeah, this is where I would make a very clever quip about how it's rude to nip people's noses without warning, but I'm sure you've heard them all by now.

[wintershepherd]

[ Good! He likes when people suffer goodnaturedly through his awful puns. ]

Over and over and over again! But it's all right, it's still nice to have it recognized.
