Re: Mun's Musings on future plots

[general_pitchiner]

Why are you so insistent on using me in the future. It's because of that man you speak of, isn't it? He... isn't me. That may be my body, but that is not me, Mundane.

Do you intend to make me relive that all over again? Losing everything I had? My life, my duty, my... my daughter? Does that really make you happy?

[He shakes his head.]

I do not understand your reasoning, nor will I ever will.

[ That's better, and Jack's expression relaxes a bit. ]

Just be honest. Someone will help you.

[general_pitchiner]

[Pitchiner smiles a little more, more confidence in his nod.]

I will do my best to do so. I apologize for my doubt earlier.

[wintershepherd]

No apologies needed. It looks like Pitch could learn a few things from you, too.

[general_pitchiner]

He's a creature of the dark. There's not much anyone can do for him.

[wintershepherd]

I'm not ready to believe that, not yet.

[general_pitchiner]

You have that much faith in him?

[wintershepherd]

[ Jack shakes his head quickly; putting it that way just seemed wrong! ]

Not... no, not exactly. I just think that someone needs to give him a chance.

It worked for me.

[ a pause ]

I'm probably not making sense. What do I call you, anyway?

[general_pitchiner]

Kozmotis Pitchiner. And my mun never made any mention of you. What am I to call you?

[wintershepherd]

[ he can get used to this version of Pitch! ]

Jack Frost.

[general_pitchiner]

[He smiles a little more.] It's a pleasure to meet you, Jack Frost.

I can only assume you've had more than a few run-ins with the so called 'Nightmare King'?

[wintershepherd]

Well... something like that. His version might be a little different.

[general_pitchiner]

And you think he has the potential to change?

[wintershepherd]

I'd like to think everyone has the potential to.

[ nobody ever claimed he wasn't naive ]

I can see you're not convinced.

[general_pitchiner]

He's a manifestation of fearlings and nightmares. Darkness is at his core. It's hard to change someone like that.

[wintershepherd]

I understand, I won't ask you to be uncomfortable. I'll give it a try and I'll let you know how it goes, all right?
