Just finished the third book

[guardian_of_wonder]

Things have gotten rather serious haven't they?

Not to worry though, after all you saw in the movie we are all still alive and well after all those years!

...

Well yes there was no sign of Katherine, or Ombric or Nightlight...but...I am sure all will turn out for the best.

Now, come with me! I have some ideas I would like to bounce off you. Only 356 days left till Christmas after all there's much to do!

[kingofnightmares]

...Counting down already. Why I am I not surprised?

[thetrueme]

[rolls her eyes] Christmas is long over already. Go back to the North Pole until it's that time of year again.

[guardian_of_wonder]

We have known each other a long time Pitch, that is perhaps why.

[A twinkle in his eye, he is of course, just teasing]

But I must be aware of the time frame. With how often I get caught up in a new idea it's so easy to lose track of the time.

[kingofnightmares]

I'm sure the world could do without a Christmas for one year.

[guardian_of_wonder]

Ah but for one such as me, every day is Christmas.

Besides, the forces of evil do not wait for December. I must be vigilante!

[guardian_of_wonder]

They made a movie about that actually...it was very unpleasant for the people in the movie.

[kingofnightmares]

[HE SCOFFS, but waves his hand.]

My mundane reacted to the name 'Katherine'. [He looks at North almost accusingly.] Why is that?

[guardian_of_wonder]

You don't remember?

...has it really been so long? [strokes his beard thoughtfully] It was back when I was still a young man and all my hair was black as ink.

[thetrueme]

Well with you being you, I can understand why.

No...they don't. Good thing I'm with the good guys, then. [Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!]

[guardian_of_wonder]

Then another ally is always welcome!

[Thrusts out one of his massive hands for a handshake]

Nicolas St. North. Adventurer, Master Swordsmen and lover of fine baked goods.

[thetrueme]

Oh really?

Mitsumi, Team Galactic's ultimate warrior.

[She offers her hand back, but pulls it away very quickly]

Buuuuut my boss wouldn't want me associating with you. Thanks anyway!

[guardian_of_wonder]

[Seems amused by this]

Oh? And why would that be?

[thetrueme]

In the classic words, he thinks Christmas is a humbug!

[kingofnightmares]

[Pitch stares at him for a long time... up and down.]

Black hair? Really? [It's hard to picture.]

[guardian_of_wonder]

How unfortunate for him.

[Sigh, because he's running into so much of this]

But I think perhaps, just because he thinks such a way does not mean we cannot hope for a better future together.

[thetrueme]

Yeah. Unfortunate...

I think so too. But hope is only half the job done. We have to wrok towards a better future as well. That's what Team Galactic is all about.

[guardian_of_wonder]

But of course! I was not after all, always an old man.

I am curious Pitch, just how much of your past do you know? Where do your memories start and stop?

[produces a chocolate orange from his pocket and peels the wrapper offering his enemy a slice]

[guardian_of_wonder]

Wonderful! Perhaps together we can lead the world to a new Golden age!

[kingofnightmares]

[He lifts his hand and shakes his head.]

I know nothing of my past.

[guardian_of_wonder]

[A look of disappointment crosses North's face. Then...pity?]

It is a shame. You were once a great hero you know?

And so much more.

[kingofnightmares]

...


Okay North. Stop playing around. Don't feed my coal here.

[guardian_of_wonder]

I wouldn't wish to spoil the experience of learning for you or your mun, and I suspect your mun already knows more then they let on.

Are you sure you wish for me to tell you?

[thetrueme]

Yay!

[kingofnightmares]

I only suspected as much.

[He purses his lips and looks away from North.]

...Ignorance is bliss, wouldn't you say?

[guardian_of_wonder]

Me personally? Never. I have developed an unquenchable thirst for learning.

And to hide from pain...I find...only makes the wound grow. But to accept it and learn from it is where strength is born.

I will however honor your wish in this case.
