[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.

[wolfchild]

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

Who are you?

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!

yes plz

[protosshaze]

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

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?]

[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? ]

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?]

[raindeerific]

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

<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]

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.

[protosshaze]

The moon? Is that where you're from?

[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.

[goldensand]

[no, no! he shakes his head vigorously, before trying again. this time, he'll have the unicorns gallop around her head instead. he points to her, and then mimes sleeping again.

he gives the dreams to you! he is far too busy to sleep, after all.]

[wolfchild]

You...make dreams?

[goldensand]

[a jabberwock? he's not one hundred percent sure what that could be, but it certainly sounds threatening.

still, he's sure that the children must be safe now -- otherwise, he'd be far angrier -- so he just pats bunny on the arm. don't worry, you'll have more help soon enough!]

[goldensand]

[bing bing bing! we have a winner! he claps his hands together in excitement, nodding.

but not just any dreams, he feels he has to add -- the dreamsand forms a monstrous, scary beast, which he proceeds to punch through dramatically. the punch turns the beast to dust, which then forms into some beautiful butterflies. only the good dreams are allowed when sandy's around!]

[wolfchild]

[ yeah, sorry, sandy, she has a bone to pick with you. She comes from the canon, "A Song of This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" ]

You are terrible at your job.

[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]

[goldensand]

[well, that certainly makes him confused. yeah, yeah, he knows there was kind of that episode with pitch, but that was all over now, right?

a question mark appears above his head, and he stares at her intently ...]

[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.

[wolfchild]

All I ever have are nightmares.

i still need to tackle the app, but hopefully it won't be long!

[goldensand]

[he looks curious, wondering if they've been there long. after all, it wasn't THAT long ago that he'd seen all of them, and surely he'd have noticed if either of them had gone missing ...

he scratches his chin, trying to work this out. could some sort of mishap in time have happened ... ?]

[goldensand]

[no, no! he shakes his head. he stands with his eyes closed now, hands out, as the moon sprinkles dreamsand all over him.

... maybe this isn't the best way to explain this ...]

[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]
