Mun's been looking at fan art, and Sandy's enjoying himself

[morethanadream]

[Honestly, he finds it sweet that people care enough to draw them so much. Jack especially seems to be getting a lot of attention, which Sandy thinks is a sign of a growing base of believers. Of course, he communicates this all through swiftly changing pictures, which people may or may not be able to understand.

There is one thing he's curious about, though. With a slightly puzzled look, his dreamsand forms the image of Bunny, which then shrinks to a little cute bunny with a question mark besides it. What's with all the art of Bunny as an actual baby bunny? As far as he knows, there's been no incident of Bunny shrinking and becoming cute.

After a moment, he can't help but have a goofy grin. No matter how confusing, the pictures are adorable.]

[How is that supposed to scare him? Jack is the first one to play dirty! It's in fact good to have some actual competition for a change.

The disgusted face is back, this time ten times worse. Under all the disgust there's a part of him who wonders how they expect him to have a baby when he can barely touch people without freezing them. PRIORITIES.

With a wave of Jack's hand, frost Pitch starts changing again, representing his shadow from, some sort of fast blur. It surrounds frost Sandy, who is getting closer to-- to nothing, apparently, since at the last second Jack frowns, shakes his head and makes both figures explode in lots of tiny snowflakes.]

...never mind.

[Oh God, the Guardians have two trolls in their midst. This can't end well.

Sandy smiles smugly and all the figures explode into clouds of sand before he crosses his arms and bounces on the balls of his feet.

If he talked, he would be gloating so hard right now.]

[2cool4guardian]

[You mean this can only end well. If you're going to play dirty, you need the attitude to go with it!

Usually Jack would protest, but this time he's letting Sandy have this one. He feels guilty for what he almost did before - those fanfics are weird and creepy, but there are still some subjects Jack will never joke about. Pitch's darkness taking over any of them is one of them.

Hopefully Sandy doesn't notice any of that now.]

Remind me to take you with me next time I bother Bunny.

[morethanadream]

[Probably for the best. It's true that that's a little too serious for joking, but good on Jack for recognizing that, and on Sandy for allowing himself to ignore and/or not even notice the near-slip.

Sandy winks and gives Jack a thumbs up. Bunny's always fun to tease. Especially since Sandy has a magical ability that keeps anyone from staying mad at him.]

[2cool4guardian]

[He can be mature sometimes, alright. He even told Bunny he was great that time in the warren. ...okay, maybe not with those words, but you get the idea.

Hooray for a partner in crime! Sandy is officially the Cool Uncle of the family. And as the Cool Uncle, he is supposed to tell stories. So Jack will take this opportunity to ask.]

Do you give dreams to Cottontail and the others too? [He wouldn't know, he doesn't exactly dream. ...or sleep much in the first place.]

[morethanadream]

[Jack, if you couldn't be mature after three hundred years, that would just be sad.

Sandy arches his eyebrow, then smiles and nods. Above his head, he makes the image of all five of the Guardians, and in turn, Bunny gives what looks like a rousing speech, Tooth takes everyone's teeth from under their pillows, North gives everyone presents, and Jack starts a snowball fight.

Their 'centers' are more than just things they protect: they're central personality traits that define them and their interactions with others. Sandy would feel really weird if he didn't provide dreams for his family, the same way Tooth would feel weird if she didn't protect their childhood memories or Jack would feel weird if he went an extended period of time without starting a snowball fight or getting one of his friends to crack a smile.]

[You mean it would be awesome. Who wants to grow up anyway?

Those are some cute images, and Jack is touched. Sandy included him there. With the other Guardians. He belongs now, doesn't he? DAMN IT SANDY STOP GIVING HIM FEELINGS. This is not his area of expertise!

Let's go down the joke road, easier that way.] We're such a bunch of obvious oldies, aren't we?
