Possible spoilers in comments for Rise of the Guardians

[kingofnightmares]

Must you keep reminding me of the upcoming holiday? I don't wish to talk about it. Leave me out of it, it is not my place to be. You know that better than anyone else.

Besides, don't you have other muses to attend to? Or your schooling perhaps?

I, myself, have work to do.

[snowballsandfuntimes]

You are wasting your time, you know. They don't actually listen to us. We might as well be invisible to them, too, other then the whole throwing us into things wherever they please.

So, what kind of work do you think t is that you need to be doing?

[kingofnightmares]

Not if I can threaten her with nightmares.

[And he soon shrugs, resting his hands behind his back.]

That's for me to know.

[snowballsandfuntimes]

What, come on. You don't even want to brag a little bit? What am I going to do, I'm way over here.

[kingofnightmares]

Oh come now, Jack. I know you better than that.

[YOU'RE SUCH A KIDDER]

[psiandsteak]

Don't you like Christmas, mister? It's the happiest time of the year!

[kingofnightmares]

That's exactly why I don't like Christmas.

[And North. And his annoying elves and yetis and. North]

[psiandsteak]

That's a weird reason to not like it! I thought everyone liked getting gifts and eating great food.

[kingofnightmares]

It's the person who runs the holiday who spoils it for me.

[psiandsteak]

Oh.

I get it now.

Santa gave you coal, didn't he?

[highclassgal]

What sort of work do you do? Are you a working class guy?

[kingofnightmares]

I've been working for many years, my dear. I don't plan on stopping now.

And my work? I'm sure you experience it every once in a while.

[highclassgal]

I do? By that implication, your work must be very helpful to the community.

[Louise just aint getting it.]

[kingofnightmares]

[He sighs. How does to put it...]

Ever heard of the Boogeyman?

[highclassgal]

Uh, I've heard different interpretations on the concept of him.

[thefirstguardian]

[Work to do? Oh, no, Sandy doesn't think so.

Turn around, Pitch, and see his disapproval.]

[kingofnightmares]

[GEEZ, he flinches and steps away from him. Of any of the Guardians... He's the most intimidated by you Sandy. But he gives you a stern glare.]

You have got to stop doing that.

[thefirstguardian]

[Intimidated for good reason... but there won't be any of that unpleasantness today. If Pitch behaves.

Sandy raises an eyebrow, his sand mimicking the shape of a nightmare before he wags a finger in Pitch's direction. He's pretty sure you've earned a start or two.]

[kingofnightmares]

[He scoffs and rolls his eyes, crossing his arms, tilting his head to the side.]

Oh come now, Sandman. Why on earth would I be stirring up trouble? I've learned my lesson, you know that.

[thefirstguardian]

[Sandy crosses his arms over his chest as well, a tiny, shiny mimic of the dark spirit.

Giving you a look, mister. He does not believe that for a second.]

[okay_agame]

C'mon Pitch, it's just Christmas. Take some time off, cheer up a bit.

[kingofnightmares]

Take some time off? Why would I do such a thing?

[If he did, he'd have to hear even more about Christmas from his mun.]

[okay_agame]

Because otherwise I'll have to get the Guardians together, and we're gonna kick your butt again.

[kingofnightmares]

[Oh, Pitch sighs and rubs his brow with his index finger and thumb.]

Do you realize how many times I have heard that by now? I don't feel intimidated at all.

[His mun here is like an ace in the hole. He'll always come back after being 'defeated'.]

[okay_agame]

So you're telling me you like getting beaten down every other week.

[naughtyfun]

You know, you'd think you'd be smart enough to not mention any "work" you have to do. I mean, isn't that just asking for people to be in your business?

We've got nothing better to do than harass you about it if you give us bait. Should have thought that one through better.

[Yeah, he sees all those other Jacks. Pitch has no one blame but himself.]
