Voicetesting. Sick of him yet?

[2cool4guardian]

Now waaaiiiiit a minute. Let me see if I get this right. You want to play me, Jack Frost, the most loved and coolest Guardian ever chosen, when you've never touched snow in your life?

You must live in a really sad place. I mean, come on! No snow in winter? No Toothfairy stories? No Sandman tales? What kind of hole could you possible be- ...no Easter Bunny either?

[....]

Maybe it's not that bad after all.

Everyone seems to be into this whole rambling about "Guardians" recently. I really don't get it. Why are any of you so special?

[2cool4guardian]

Nice ears, do they come with a tail too?

[Sorry, he's still getting used to the idea of all these people seeing him and talking to him.] You want the short version, the long version or the mun version?

[ifiknowmyself]

Of course! [He grins, a black tail peeking out from his back, swishing back and forth. Wait. It's gone again?]

Mm... I don't really care. Whichever is most interesting!

[2cool4guardian]

[He tries to poke the tail with his staff, but oops, it's gone. Spoilsport! Just for that, Jack is gonna give you the mun version.]

Apparently we're the cutest thing that has hit the cinemas since those viking dragons.

[ifiknowmyself]

[He moves out of the way of the staff, although he didn't seem to take a step. He just kind of... Was suddenly somewhere else.]

I don't know what you're talking about, but you don't seem that cute to me.

[madcuriosity]

What's so bad about the Easter Bunny?

[2cool4guardian]

[Jack squints his eyes, the staff going to his shoulder. Well, well, what do we have here?]

Sorry I'm not made of yarn.

[ifiknowmyself]

That is a very incorrect assumption. Not all cats like yarn, you know.

[Schrodinger crosses his arms, but he's smirking.]

[2cool4guardian]

[He's about to tell some if his better rabbit jokes... but oops, cute little girl. Dammit, those are his weakness. Can't break her pure child heart!]

His fur gets everywhere. And it makes you sneeze. [There, not that bad, right? He pokes her nose.] What's the fun in that?

[madcuriosity]

[She smiles, clearly agreeing.]

Well, that's not too terrible. Are you allergic to rabbits?

[2cool4guardian]

Oh, right, how did I not think of that.

[Are you buying that? Yeah, nobody is.]

Sorry I'm not made of fish.

[ifiknowmyself]

[That just gets him laughed at.]

Wow, just because I've got some ears you assume I like all that stuff? Ha!

[He tilts his head.] Although maybe I should be insulted by being compared to a simple pet?

[2cool4guardian]

Sometimes I wish I was. [He winks. Isn't he charming.] You sound like quite a believer, little miss.

[madcuriosity]

Oh! Please call me Alice! Alice Liddell, how do you do? [She offers him a curtsy.] And of course! [She's seven, but she also has an imagination the size of planet Earth.]

[2cool4guardian]

And just because I speak up you take me seriously? [Two can play this game, thank you.]

Maaan, pets are awesome. You should be flattered. [Jack likes animals. They may not see him, but they seem to know he's around. Animals know stuff.]

[2cool4guardian]

It's nice to meet you, Alice. I'm Jack Frost. And I... [He puts up his hand and blows into it to make a pretty snow crystal, which ends up on her hair.] ...I thank you for believing.

[ifiknowmyself]

[Wow, someone who plays back. That's unusual. He's used to boring military-types.]

I would only be a pet to one person, I think. Otherwise it's not so flattering... [And suddenly he isn't there anymore, now he's behind Jack.] I'm so much more than just some lapcat.

[madcuriosity]

[She gasps and gently reaches for it but doesn't touch.] It's so beautiful! And I've heard of you! You're the winter sprite!

[2cool4guardian]

[Jack acts before thinking - he turns around and aims his staff at this... cat... person.]

No kidding. And what exactly are you?

[ifiknowmyself]

[He laughs again, grinning more. He has a lot of teeth.]

There is no "exact" for what I am. I am everything and nothing... Everywhere and nowhere. My name is Schrodinger. It's nice to meet you~

[2cool4guardian]

The one and only. [He bows, grinning. Oh, the joy of being recognized.] I hope you do get the magic of winter at your place, Alice. My mun here could make a snowman cry.

[madcuriosity]

Oh yes! In both of my games, actually! In somarium there are going to be playful snowmen! But.. well, it isn't quite as nice in forever_after. Witches are attacking the whole village until Father Christmas comes.

[2cool4guardian]

[Jack stares at this person. Those words... they could have a moment right here, right now. But Jack suddenly puts down his staff and rolls his eyes.]

It looks like my mun is finding a cat called Schrodinger hilarious. [Way to ruin the mood, mundane! Jack isn't amused. He doesn't like not getting jokes. He's supposed to be the funny one!] Am I missing something here?

[ifiknowmyself]

Ah, she does? [His ears perk up and he beams.] Usually people don't get it... I always told the Doc that it was a very obscure reference, so I'm surprised.

Ja! You are missing something, but it isn't a joke.

[2cool4guardian]

Playful snowmen, huh? They're the best kind of snowmen. Be sure to play with them all you can. They're there for you.

[He should know, he makes them. The second part, though. The second part alarms him - Jack tries not to show it, fighting his urge to frown. His job is to protect Alice. To show her fun in the darkest moments.]

Now you listen to me, Alice. You believe in No- Father Christmas, right? So if you believe in him, you know he'll keep you and your village safe.
