Well... at least they're generous about everything, aren't they?

[The voice is accompanied by the steady 'click-click' of heels along the floor- Cupid is obviously making this post as she walks to her temporary 'home' in this new city. If she sounds a little breathless though, it's more because of excitement than anything.]

I mean, I suppose it's the least they can do, all things considered, but you never really expect to find yourself in a situation like this and actually have people be pleasant about it.

--well, actually, I never expected to find myself in a situation like this at all.

[She laughs a little, seemingly entirely unconcerned with her predicament, and there's the sound of keys jingling, and a door unlocking.]

Whoa- okay, so this isn't... great. Not bad at all but- wow, there is no personality in this place. I'm going to have to do a lot of redecorating... [There's a pause, and the dull thud of a purse being set on a coffee table, and then the 'whumph' of fabric of someone sitting on a sofa.] I guess I'll have plenty of time for all that later though, huh?

[And still, she doesn't sound the least bit displeased. The video finally turns on to show a pink-haired girl, bone-like wings a-flutter with amusement, as she leans forward, setting her elbows on her knees and her chin in her hands.]

In the meantime, I guess I should introduce myself! [Her tone dips a little from cheery to compassionate, and a little more mature- cultured, even.] My name is kind of scary-long, so most of the time I just go by Cupid. And while normally, I stick to monsters, but I think given the situation, I can be a little more flexible-

--so, tell me Death City- what matters to your heart? After all, it's kind of my area of expertise.

Yeah, it's kind of lame having to walk everywhere when you're used to flying. [and he misses the wind. it's like his best friend just suddenly stopped talking to him, being able to feel the occasional breeze but being unable to really interact with it.] Tooth would probably be miserable here...

Well, I normally walk, but the option is nice, really.

[Plus, no wings means that nothing else she can do would work, including possibly calling up some of the extended family if she was ever in a serious jam.]

Tooth? That a friend of yours?

Yeah. You know, the Tooth Fairy?

I've heard of her, yeah- didn't know she was actually real. Or at least, never heard of anyone who's met her.

[Score one for Jack's world, she supposes.]

I guess a fairy not being able to fly would be pretty awful.

Yeah, I think I could count the number of times I've seen her even touching the ground on one hand.

Sounds kind of like Spectra, actually. I don't think she even remembers how to walk, some days.

Friend from school?

Right in one! She's a ghost, so she's not too tangible to begin with, and honestly, I can't say I've ever actually seen her walk.

So, ghost friends and yeti friends? What kind of school are you going to?

I've got vampire, werewolf and sea-dwelling friends too. But seeing as it's a school for the kids of 'monsters', it's kind of to be expected.

Since when is Cupid a monster? Or yetis, now that I think about it. Not like Santa would be hiring monsters, right?

Well, daddy's not- but I'm kind of adopted, so...

And besides, 'monster' is more of a general term for anything that Normies have kind of written off as either 'scary' or 'fake'.

[ouch. he visibly flinches at the word "fake".]

Oh. Well, I guess that works better than "spirit" or something that doesn't actually apply to everyone...

[She notices, but she doesn't think it's a good idea to mention it.]

Yeah- besides, most of us kind of like it. Are you guys just called spirits where you're from?

I don't really know what the general word for it is. I mean, everyone always said I was a winter spirit, but it's not like Tooth is a tooth spirit. She's just...well, a fairy, and Bunny is a bunny, and Santa is just a guy, I guess...

[and who knows what sandy is.]

Wow, Santa? Really? [Cupid looks more amused by that than she probably should.] Well, maybe when you get back, you should ask if there's a term for you guys. Though I guess there doesn't necessarily have to be.

[Cupid would probably vote for some kind of cloud being, if she could.]

Yeah. I mean, we're all "Guardians", but there are other...supernatural beings, I guess. Pitch and the Leprechaun and the Man in the Moon and everyone else.

Sounds like your world's got a lot going for it, huh? In terms of things that don't quite fit in with the 'normal' world, at least.

You must have loads of interesting friends, in that case.

I...have the other Guardians? [he is new at friends sob.]

[...oh, Jack. That's sad.]

Well, I guess you should add one more to the list! [Wait, uh-] If you want to, that is...

[asdfghjkl]

Y-yeah! Sure.

[And a beaming smile at that answer- new friends in new places, excellent.]

Great! We should hang out sometime, maybe- since I just got here I'd like to take a look around with a friendly face, if you wouldn't mind?

Sure! If you're willing to wait for the sun to go down first. [moonlit stroll ooh la la.]

[ooo mister frost ooo]

Oh, sure! I have a little meeting with someone so she can help me find my weapon form first, but... I dunno- say around seven should be good?

You got it.

[video] so i had a great idea to have jack learn his weapon form, does fabi still chill on rooftops

[video] you know she does

[video] would she be overly traumatized if someone fell off while hanging with her...

[video] not likely, though she'd be super-worried

[video] hey fabi wanna hang out with jack on a roof =D

[video] sure thing, what could possibly go wrong?

[video] nothing beyond a little emotional trauma =D

[video] sounds like another day in Fabi's life-- also should we log this tour?

[video] sounds like another date, go jack =D also sure!

[video] just rolling in ladies Jack, look at you- and excellent I will toss that up
