[As per usual, though you can't see Jack will be getting a video of nothing other than the scenery outside of Poseidon, those you can, will see him, of course! Text below follows soon after, even if he does want to say something but this wasn't really for the people who already knew him.]

Probably should have expected all the new faces but I really didn't. New timeline, new faces, gotta keep remembering that. In any case, I'm numero tres on the Spirit That Needs to be Believed In list. I'm Jack Frost.

[A pause in the typing...]

Yes, that Jack Frost. No, my parents weren't being weird or anything. The name I had before I became Jack Frost doesn't have much in common other than my first name. I know I'm not as popular as Tooth or North... er, Santa to you guys. But I really do exist and contrary to what some people say, no I'm not an invisible mutant kid with ice powers. I don't have the X-Gene, nor does it actually occur on my version of Earth. I'm just your common nature spirit that happens to be the one bringing Winter to you guys and working double time lately because of global warming.

But I doubt you want to hear me rant about that. If anything else, I would really appreciate it if you guys put aside your disbelief and actually believe in Tooth, Akito, and I. I know it seems simple, since I am here typing this all out but it's not as simple as you think. You really have to truly believe I'm Jack Frost, I'm the Spirit of Winter who nips at your nose. Tooth is the Tooth Fairy who leaves behind goodies after taking the tooth/teeth you left under your pillow, and Akito is a Wind Spirit, responsible for keeping the winds in check. It really shouldn't be that hard but some of you guys are surprisingly stubborn than most adults.

And adults are unknown territory. Especially for me. I usually deal with kids, after all. Guardian of Fun and responsible for all those awesome snow days that have been existing for a few hundred years now, thank you very much. But seriously, just bear with me. I'm not... used to trying to make adults believe in me. Since you got all that science and logic getting in the way of actually seeing what's, literally, right in front of you.

That's why Manny made the Guardians. Trapping them obviously didn't help, so we're here to stop them.

[Besides, all the fearlings are basically in Pitch now, so it was simply a matter of keeping him in check.]

It's less a matter of stopping them and more a matter of killing them, there's no way I know of reversing being turned in to one. There's only one person who's kept... some sense of who they were after being attacked by them.

Overtime, Pitch wasn't just some kind consumed with fearlings and stuff though. The others haven't gone into detail but nowadays he's mostly here to fulfill the role of scaring kids and feeding on the fear. We were never tasked with killing him, really. Just keeping things in balance.

I'll give him that, since kids do need to be cautious and stuff. But it's a fine line and not very pleasant on both sides.

...I've still yet to quite figure out who this Pitch is that you keep talking about. I was referring to Sable, she is the one in control of the horde of them.

[He sighs.]

There's no need for children to suffer nightmares, the Tsar never had them.

Uh, well, he's... you. On my world, anyway. Not yours.

[Because Sable, whoever that was, didn't exist on his world.]

[It takes a while for him to respond.]

...How?

He... was guarding them. And then, he tricked him into thinking his daughter was inside. So he opened the door and they... they possessed him. Turned his heart dark and now he's the Nightmare King.

...of course they'd use Seraphina against me.

[He lets out a long breath.]

Jack, next time you see him... put him out of his misery. It should have been done the moment it happened.

I can't do that.

He's too much of a threat otherwise, I was the General of the Golden Army before becoming a prison guard.

Doesn't matter what you were before. I'm not doing it.

He's not a threat anymore. [And honestly, he looks a little sad at that.]

As long as he's possessed by the fearlings he'll always be a threat, Jack. There's only two things they know how to do, spread fear and make more of themselves.

I'm not doing it.

[deadpan.]

You made that abundantly clear, I'm simply providing you with information so maybe you can do something about it that nobody else has been able to.

He already can't be seen by kids. They run right through him because they aren't as afraid anymore.

[He looks away.]

That's punishment enough.

[Koz just sighs, dragging a hand through his hair.]

Do you... think that that is what will happen to Sable? She... the same thing happened to her.

[He's shifting the subject because he's got to wrap his head around this a bit, shock more than anything is what's keeping him relatively calm.]

Depends if she's like Pitch and gets jealous at North, Bunny, Sandy, and Tooth. Wants to be believed in, be seen and heard. If she gets envious enough, she'll probably find a way, like Pitch did, to try and stop kids from believing in them and to believe in her.

[He shrugged.]

I don't know Sable, so.

She's the Nightmare Queen, and does much the same thing as you say Pitch does though she's more than willing to kill humans and turn children in to fearlings to get what she wants.

She took down the entire Golden Age and all anyone could do was run... and even then she still slaughtered them.

She... was also my daughter.

That's what Pitch did. At first. I wasn't around then, so I don't know what happened to him that made him go from the Nightmare King to the Boogeyman.

[Sable was his daughter? ...oh.]

Looks like a role reversal happened in your world. Pitch's daughter is Mother Nature.

I- I need to- this is-

[Too much all at once. There's a place and time where she's safe but at the cost of himself. He'd yelled at Aster that it should have been him.]

Thank you for telling me.

[and he's just going to turn off the communicator and sit on his roof all night now.]
