[ For most, this video feed might look like nothing but a nice shot of scenery in the forest. Birds chirp and flutter on and off camera but, besides that, there's nothing really happening and no one in sight. For those that believe in her, however, they'll see Toothiana in all her wonderfully bright colors and with a small smile on her face.
Despite the feed being video, a text message accompanies it. ]

Hello, everyone!

My name is Toothiana. While that's my given name, almost everyone where I was from referred to me as the 'Tooth Fairy.' Yes, /that/ Tooth Fairy. It's a familiar story for most but to those that it's not-- I collect the teeth of children and leave behind a small gift in exchange. The reason I collect the teeth is because the most precious memories of childhood are stored in them. It's why my other title, though lesser known, is the Guardian of Memories.

[ Though there's no actual delay in the post, she had deliberated for quite a few minutes before figuring out what to say next. ]

I know it's probably a little strange but I'm not the first spirit here. There's Jack Frost and Akito, to my knowledge, and I'm similar to them. You can't see me if you don't believe in me. I don't expect all of you to believe me in me though. Not right away, at least! I hope that you do eventually, of course, as belief is the only thing keeping me in existence.

I'll be happy to answer any questions that you may have. Thank you for your time!

Well, I may not believe you exist in my reality, but I do believe you're the Tooth Fairy in someone's reality. I take it that's good enough. It works with Jack and Akito.

[ --blinkblink. ]

Well, then, that's certainly good enough for me!

[hypospraying]

[Blinkblinks back. Toothiana is certainly interesting looking.]

Good! My name's Christine. It's nice to meet you.

[voice] assuming they've already spoken if that's okay?

[barelydead]

..So does that mean you survive on belief?

[ _{he almost sounds upset.} ]

That sounds more stressful than not knowing how to cook.

[voice] sure thing! c:

[memoryguardian]

Yes. I've never had to worry about it though until here!

It's... a big sacrifice to make, tethering you existence to belief, but it's one you have to make to become a Guardian.

[barelydead]

I imagine there aren't a lot of children around. What are you guarding here?

[Never all that polite without good reason, Loki's propped up his communicator on a stack of books and continues going through the papers in front of him, looking for all the world like any scruffy, disinterested teenager buried in homework.]

You're a friend of Jack's, then, or just of a similar nature? Though he seems to be everyone's friend.

[To Loki's mind, Jack's comfortably and clearly gregarious and fairly amusing. Which says a lot about His Highness.]

[Video]

[memoryguardian]

We're friends and co-workers, yes! Jack does have that kind of personality so I'm not surprised he's made friends with the people here.

[attention_wenches]

Ah. Well, as my brother and I can see him--and you, I suppose--he's a fairly frequent guest.

You forgot to tell us to clap.

[Text]

[memoryguardian]

Very funny.

I'd much rather have your belief than applause.

[nodavinci]

Ok. Get me some independently verifiable evidence of your claims, and we'll do business.

Ms Tooth!
Hopefully this will work ♥

I think Aura is getting her adult feathers in
And she is very itchy??
What should I do to help her?

text;

[memoryguardian]

All we can do is hope.

It may seem like she's itchy but she's just preening more than usual.
Keep her warm and somewhere quiet and allow her to rest as long as she needs right now.

[akito]

Is it really so strenuous on her?

[ WORRY ]

[forbiddenfriendship]

[Hey there Tooth, Hiccup's looking just a little bit alarmed here]

You die if no one believes in you?!

[video]

[memoryguardian]

Oh, I-- Sort of?

I don't exactly die, I just... stop existing. [ Which is, essentially, the same thing as it feels like dying to lose belief. ]

[video]

[forbiddenfriendship]

[See this? This is Hiccup looking you with an expression of exasperated disbelief.]

You know, that sounds strangely like dying to me.

[video]

[girlworthfighting]

For what it's worth, I can see you. But that's hardly surprising - I've always been able to see Jack.

[video]

[memoryguardian]

Have you now? That's wonderful!

Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Miss...?

[girlworthfighting]

Mulan. Fa Mulan.

Are you one of the other Spirit Guardians from his world?

[video, pretend this tag is not super-late]

[tiptoeing]

[Bruce just shrugs; as scientific as his mind is, he's seen a lot of weird things/people lately. Hell, he's pretty weird himself, considering. So while he takes it with a grain of salt, accepting she's the Tooth Fairy and spirits are a thing is not much of a stretch for his imagination. Particularly due to the alternate universes factor.]

I think you'll find more people are open to believing you exist around here than you might think. Though I am curious if you're from the same universe as the "Celestial Guardian" I met earlier.

[video, pretend this reply isn't super late]

[memoryguardian]

[ Oh! Yet another believer. This was turning into quite the pleasant surprise. ]

So I'm learning!

Celestial Guardian? The only celestial being in my world is Tsar Lunar. He's the one who gave us Guardianship and was the first protector of Earth!

[Video] Latest of late!

[erranthero]

[Kerra...blinks at this broadcast. It's...rather incredible, to be honest. She's used to believing in the unknown, of course. The Force can't really be seen or touched. But it's there. Spirits, though? That's not something the Galaxy really has.]

Wait. You...collect teeth? What do you do with them?

[Yes, that's what she took away from that Toothiana. But she'll get to belief soon.]

[Video] latest of the late replies /o/

[memoryguardian]

[ It's interesting, this notion of people from different universes who are so accepting of her and her fellow spirits. Adults in their world were so hard-pressed to believer it was sometimes ridiculous. ]

Yes, that's right! I store them for safekeeping, mostly.
