[an argument with the mun is one sandy rarely cares to indulge in, but this time, they're being a bit silly.

he points impatiently above his head to the golden sand images appearing there. a child, a lurking shadow, a castle. both the castle and the shadow seem to loom ominously above the child, who seems to shrink in fear. the message here is obvious - children may be in danger.

so as a guardian, how can he not go?]

oh hai

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Yes, good. The children need all the help they can get in this stupid castle.

...Plus, you know, Bunny will very likely end up pushing Jack down a hole of some description without someone to get between them during their 'discussions']

Too right, Sandy. That place needs as many guardians as it can get.

hello hello!

[goldensand]

[yes, he has a feeling that might also be a problem.

but most importantly, the children! he nods emphatically in agreement with you, bunny. he adds a crude looking monster to the mix, and then they all disappear in favor of a question mark. is it true that all those horrible things come to life, there?]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Anger management has never been Bunny's forte.

Bunny sighs, nodding]

Yeah, I've only been there a couple of months, and I've had to deal with something called a Jabberwock. I doubt that'll be the last of them, either.

[wolfchild]

[ Excuse you, this child does not shrink in fear. ...and takes serious offense at being called a child but details. ]

Who are you?

[goldensand]

[hey, until you're over 18, you're under his jurisdiction, missy! given that he doesn't speak, though, he won't be calling her a child anytime soon.

as for how to answer that question, he smiles, and holds out an open palm full of dream sand for her to see. the sand turns to a group of brilliant unicorns, who gallop around his head while he mimes being asleep.

you see? he's the bringer of dreams.]

[wolfchild]

You're tired?

[ ...close enough? ]

and now i am really wishing the new book was out already HELLO THERE

[storiestotell]

I haven't seen anything dangerous yet here but I have heard stories. And I'm certain there can never be too many guardians!

hello! me too! :)

[goldensand]

[he nods in agreement. in a place so scary, he doubts enough can be done to keep the children there safe!

he'll point above his head again, where a dreamsand calendar appears, followed by a question mark. just how long have you been there already, katherine?]

totally excited about seeing sandy in this game!/flails

[storiestotell]

[ Taking a moment to count the days, she had to remember the date of her arrival. ]

Counting today... I've been in the castle for over a week now. Bunnymund and Jack have been there longer than me though.

yes plz

[protosshaze]

Wow, those images are amazing! How do you do that?

<3

[goldensand]

[well, really, the reason he can do any of this guardian stuff is because of the man in the moon ...

so, he points above his head to a moon made of dreamsand]

[raindeerific]

...Sandy? Sandy, focus. No sparkling, no beaming, no naps. Focus for Santa: is trouble, yes? You saw trouble?

[goldensand]

[north's instructions make sandy pout just a little. yes, yes, of course he's focusing! he points at the castle again, which appears to have developed a vacuum mouth, sucking in dreamsand people]

[wizard_redfive]

[Add another kid who is not amused by his message. As if she'd shrink in fear.]

Yeah, the castle sucks, but we're managing just fine, thank you.

[goldensand]

[well, he's glad to hear that, even if it still worries him! he'll just smile serenely, then, and flick the castle with a finger, causing it to explode in a small poof of dream dust]

[snowstorms]

[Jack lights up.] Sandy! Are you coming to the castle, too?

[goldensand]

[sandy nods! surely, jack must realize how badly the place is in need of some guardians. he mimes cracking his knuckles, before gesturing to the dreamsand image of the castle]

[savors]

[ Sandy, bringing all the kidlets to the yard. ]

They aren't all scared.

[goldensand]

[well, that's probably true -- after all, overcoming fear had been rather important to his recent comeback! but still, he can't help but worry about the kids. he just smiles serenely at her, though, and gives her a thumbs up. he's proud of you, kid! you're tough!]

[inthemoon]

That's very sensible of you, Sanderson.

[goldensand]

[he just smiles sheepishly. he does what he can, manny!]

[cheese_for_everyone]

[He chuckles a little.]

Hello dream-warrior. Looks like you have some work to do.

i just saw the movie, let me have this. /scoops up sandy

[ex_bubblewand379]

( Glinda bends slightly at the knee, nodding as she takes in the sight of each and every symbol. As the Sandman finishes, she smiles softly, standing straight once more. ) Then you mustn't waste time! If you know where you ought to be, then perhaps it is for the best you find your way there soon. Every child deserves the promise of sweet dreams, Sandman.

[deductiongeek]

[Conan does not need help, thank you very much. Despite his appearance, he is seventeen. And not amused by all the people who seem to think that just because he looks liked a kid he needs to be kept safe.]

Who are you?

[tapshoetomove]

...Is this a game of charades? I think I can figure this out.
