Rise of the Meme Guardians --

You can't honestly be going with that. Come on, come on, come on. It's dumb and doesn't sound very, oh, I dunno. Snazzy? Let's go with snazzy. You guys should at least come up with something more original. Seriously.

I'd say "it's embarrassing," but that would only encourage you. Then again, this whole post is going to encourage you.

Computer, delete message. ... I said delete, not post -- Ah, hell.

He definitely feeds off fear — kind of? Yeah, he does. I'd say yes! I've never seen Jack eat anything, but I know Santa likes cookies and Jack says he personally never sleeps. He can't unless the Sandman knocks him out with dreamsand.

[makeitmine]

[... hmmm.]

I guess "knowing every little thing about a person just by looking at them" falls under the category of "feeds off fear." [except it doesn't. though it does. ... whatever]

[undergrad]

He doesn't know everything. [ small smile. ] He doesn't know what makes you happy.

[makeitmine]

... So.

The conclusion I have to all of this.

Is that someone needs to actually take him out for coffee.

[undergrad]

Sounds like he's got a rough gig to me. And it wasn't coffee, it was pizza or Subway.

[ pls, jamie is a classy date. ]

[waves his hand because WHAT GOES ON DOESN'T MATTER as long as it's Bonding Tiemz]

Merida says he promised to leave her home alone, and she doesn't think he'll come around with Jack there. But she also said he's the type who likes a challenge. I don't see that as a good enough reason for him to not hurt her if he really wanted to. Since the likelihood of anyone being able to fight him off or threaten him into staying away is almost literally less than zero [sorry Jack bro he's thinking in terms of mundane plottiness], I figured maybe it'd work out best if instead he's motivated by a friend. Or something.

Of course, this is all going to go horribly wrong and blow up in our faces, but hopefully it'll be in the way of "oh great now we're ACTUALLY friends with Pitch" and that'll be enough drama and interesting plot twists for the muns.

[ oh, jim. :c ]

Yeah, but. Capt— [ ok np he can wait for an opening. ] Captain.

The Boogeyman doesn't want any friends.

[makeitmine]

That's why we'll have to catch him off-guard.

[a long pause. and then, making a face because he REALLY DOESN'T LIKE THIS IDEA:]

To be entirely goddamn honest, our best bet would be to have Merida do it.

[undergrad]

Do you think Pitch has a crush on her?

[ it. would make sense. ]

[makeitmine]

What.

[undergrad]

Just sayin'. Eliminating every possibility.

[makeitmine]

Absolutely n -- That ca --

No. Nope. Just nope.

[undergrad]

I bet we could make him stay away if we embarrassed him enough over her.

[makeitmine]

Wel -- ... Maybe.

[Jim half-grins at that, but only half.]

Depends on how he reacts to being embarrassed. I'd rather not poke the shadow with teeth.

[undergrad]

I'll do it, if you like. I'm not afraid.

[ tail wagging. ]

[makeitmine]

[... you're adorable, kid, but]

I'm not going to ask it of you, but if you think it's a good idea, I'm not gonna stop you.

[read as: he doesn't want the recruit to get hurt on his behalf]

[undergrad]

How much more embarrassed can he get after saying no to lunch with me?

[ eh, he's not eight anymore. things will be finnne. most likely. ]

[makeitmine]

[but you're not eight any more. just because you're older that doesn't mean you're safer. and he should know. even (especially?) if as a kid he almost drove a car off a cliff in a crazy suicidal act. the fact that his life still got more dangerous when he got older is telling, okay]

Just be careful. And say something if you need back-up.

[undergrad]

[ you were a little shit, jim, lbr. jamie is going to be the nicest pal a boogeyman could have! and chase him off. ]

Jack will have my back, Captain.

[makeitmine]

Good. And, uh. Good luck.

[undergrad]

[ casual LIVE LONG AND PROSPER hand sign lmf he's so witty. ]

Thanks! To you too.
