[The video is turned on but, should you be someone who does not believe in Jack Frost, the video shows nothing except the scenery. The camera doesn't really seem to move. Unless, of course, one knows and believes in the entity holding the camera!

However, should you be a believer in Jack Frost, you will see a boy about eighteen with a very pale face, bright blue eyes, and white hair. He's crouched somewhere, staring intently into the phone with such a desperately hopeful look on his face. After about a minute of nothing (or staring), text finally appears.]

Can anyone see me? I've been here for a few hours now, please tell me someone can see!

[There's another pause.]

Fine. Can anyone at least answer this? I'm looking for a couple people and they're pretty hard to miss. There's North, though you guys would may know his as ol' St. Nick, aka Santa. There's Tooth, definitely can't miss her. She's got feathers all over with fairy wings, aka the Tooth Fairy. Sandman is a little guy, but he generally floats around on a sand cloud and then there's the Easter Bunny. Over six feet tall, carries some boomerangs and egg bombs, complete with an Australian accent. If you've seen them or if any of you guys are reading this, let me know!




Please. Tell me if you see me. I gotta know.

[ Morgiana enjoys the scenery! The scenery is pretty! In fact, she thinks she recognizes that spot. But that no one is visible there - she tilts her head curiously, murmuring to herself. ]

...Nothing.

[ No one's there. So what's the deal? Someone's weird idea of a joke? ]

[Text] - Whoops, forgot to edit out the 'few weeks' part >> /edits quickly

[frostedoverland]

You don't see anything? For real?

Do you... Do you know the name Jack Frost?

[Video] /saw nothing!

[unshackledferocity]

[ It takes longer for Morgiana to respond this time, because... well, she can't read. So it takes a few seconds to translate to voice for her. ]

I see the trees. The ground. The sky. [ But no PERSON. She had a feeling it wasn't a case of shyness though. ]

No, I don't. .. is he your friend?

[growingwild]

[Briar's peering at his scrying-mirror communicator, an annoyed expression on his face. Why isn't it showing anybody? He starts to grumble to himself as he picks it up and eyeballs it]

This thing better not be broken. Should've known this not-magic stuff would go wrong...

[Text]

[frostedoverland]

Nothing's wrong with the phone. I only wish it was...

Ever heard of Jack Frost?

[Video]

[growingwild]

[Wait, now there's writing on his scrying-mirror? (And really strange looking writing at that...)]

With the what? And I ain't heard of anybody called Jack Frost. Who's that? Is that you? Were you were one sending through random pictures?

[video]

[knightoflight]

See you? [He is tilting his head, confused, his optics flickering through a range of scanners. Nope. Nothing.]

Are you having issues with your cloaking mechanism? If so, Dr Banner or Mr Stark might help.

[Text]

[frostedoverland]

Yeah, I'm starting to wish being invisible was voluntary. Dunno who those guys are, but I'm not using any sort of mechanism.




Are you a giant robot?

[video]

[knightoflight]

But you make it sound like you're not always invisible?

....yes. I swear, though, I'm not, uh, whatever you've heard.

[thefuzzyguy]

[Kurt sees nothing, but he's made a decision not to be surprised by who show up anymore. It saves him a lot of time.]

Don't see anything. You're looking For St. Nicholas?

[Nope. Not gonna be surprised.]

...Is the Krampus real, too?

[His parents have assured him that he's the only child they know who really got into that part of the story.]

[Text]

[frostedoverland]

Well, I'm more wondering if he's even here or not. Or the others for that matter.

Uh... I think Krampus is real? Never met them, though, so I dunno.

[Text]

[thefuzzyguy]

No, as far as I know Santa is not here.

[Resisting the urge to be very sarcastic. Mostly as a defense mechanism. Usually he's the ridiculous one around here.]

[Video]

[prophetic_name]

I'm sorry, I don't know of anyone fitting those descriptions here. And I can't see you. Should I be able to?

[Text]

[frostedoverland]

No, but I'd like you to. If you don't even know Santa, I doubt you'd know Jack Frost, then.

[This was just turning out to be a great day. No one could see him and people confirming this was only making the feeling worse.]

Re: [Text]

[prophetic_name]

I know of this Santa fellow. But he isn't here.

[Text]

[catchingflies]

dood i stopped beliving in santa when i was like 5. hard to belive in some1 when u get nothin from em.

[This would be the poor kid who grew up in foster care or on the streets. Yup. He does realize there's a question in there, though, so he adds a second message:]

and no cant see u. sorry.

[Text]

[frostedoverland]

Why are you typing like that?

Well, it's hard to deliver to someone who can't believe, I guess. You'd have to ask North that.

[Text]

[catchingflies]

im not a great typer ok? and if he is real hes a big jerk who plays favrits

[Again, there's a couple seconds' pause, before a second message pops up:]

so u invisibl r what?

[fotlenke]

[ She opens her mouth in awe and then grins. ]

Your hair is the color of new frost!

[frostedoverland]

[After so many people saying they couldn't, Jack's face utterly lit up, his eyes shining a bit as he gasped at what she said. She... She could see him!

This feeling, of being seen, was not something he was going to get used to any time soon. Because once his brain finally caught up with him, all he could do was laugh and smile so brightly]

Y-You can see me?!

[fotlenke]

Of course! I am no sightless babe. You have eyes the color of the darkest blue pools, and white hair as white as the snow upon Jotunnheim. [ She's grinning from ear to ear, cheeks reddening from excitement. ] Your complexion is pale, and I think that even if I should kiss each white cheek, they would remain so.

[voice]

[arrowminded]

Are you kidding me?

[Text]

[frostedoverland]

Nope. Not kidding.

[You're an adult, so he knows why you're looking at the screen like that.]

[Video]

[pepperspray]

[After getting the text, Pepper switches her phone to video and sends a reply chasing after it. Her expression is puzzled, but on the whole polite.]

I'm afraid I can't see you. If you're not familiar with these devices, you might have moved out of the pickup range of the camera, especially if you put it down on something.

[Text]

[frostedoverland]

I'm familiar enough to know I only wish I was out of range. I'm holding it and staring right at it. If you can't see me them it's not the phone's fault.

[His usual defenses were going up now that he's received nearly no luck. He shouldn't have gotten his hopes up. But he did. He should've known better but he didn't.]

I'm Jack Frost.
