[O...kay. Waking up in strange places wasn't something on Jack Frost's to-do list. The last thing he remembered was being knocked out after that confrontation with Pitch, so naturally he was curious. Spirits don't exactly sleep walk after all. Well, unless you're Sandy.

He's currently perched on top of a light pole, peering out over the city, hands in his jacket pockets and staff over his shoulder.]

Toto, we're so not in Kansas anymore.

[She is cautiously stepping down one of the streets when she notices Jack. With the strangest, almost judgmental look, she calls out to him.]

What are you doing up there?

[It takes him a moment to realize he's being talked to. Kind of comes with the territory of being alone for three hundred years and only being able to be seen by kids. When he hears her voice he looks down at her in surprise, arching an eyebrow.]

Keeping a lookout for Santa.

[She takes a moment to look at him. He looks...strange. She had never seen a young man like that. Things keep getting stranger and stranger.]

Santa?

[When it becomes obvious that she's talking to him, he rises from his perch on top of the light pole and jumps down, using the hook of his shepherds staff to catch the branch of the light once and then uses the wind to slow his ascent down, landing softly on his feet.]

Y'know. Big guy in a red suit, drives a sleigh, delivers presents to kids.

[He watches him carefully. By his movements, one thing crosses her mind: magic is at play here. That might account for his appearance.]

I don't know who you're talking about.

[You could say magic is at play here. It's certainly easier than saying he's a spirit sometimes. He balks at that, an incredulous look on his face.]

You've never heard of Jolly Old Saint Nick?

I can't say I have.

[This is really weird. He can't think of anyone who's never heard of North before.]

What about the Easter Bunny? Tooth Fairy? Sandman? [There's a slight pause before he says Pitch's fable name.] The Boogeyman?

[Felix just happens to pause by the train station - he does this, periodically, just to see if anyone he knows happens to be there. But this time, there's someone, a stranger, but someone.]

Hello, neighbor. I can't say Kansas, no sir. This place is Ruby City - and it looks like we're all in this for the long haul. [Still, Felix remains pleasant, and steps forward, hand outstretched in a pleasant greeting. He's used to looking up at people perched high on things like light poles...buildings...]

The name is Fix-It Felix, Jr. And who might you be?

[Jack isn't really used to being looked at at all, let alone greeted with that kind of friendly manner. Without much of a pause, he hops down from his perch, using the hook of his shepherd's staff to bounce off the light pole before letting the wind carry him down to come to a stand in front of Felix.

He raises an eyebrow for a moment before looking behind him to see if there's anyone else around and returns his attention to the builder, pointing to himself.]

You can see me?

[Felix looks a little perplexed, but puts his hands on his hips and continues to smile brightly.]

Sure can! Are you a ghost where you come from? [He still has to look up at Jack, but he holds out his hand.]

[He straightens himself and leans against his staff. Felix is a little shorter than the adults he's used to seeing so it's kind of dubious belief that he can see him. He gives a shrug, reaching out to take his hand.]

Guess you could say that. Kinda have to be dead to be a spirit. Name's Jack Frost.

[Felix shakes his hand; he's not familiar with the stories of Jack Frost - they don't exist in the programming of the arcade.]

Well, Jack, it's nice to meet you. I hate to say it, but it's too bad we couldn't meet under better circumstances! [Felix looks around a bit, pulling his coat around him a bit tigher.] We're all trapped here, you see. The whole kit and kaboodle.

[It's kinda funny how that would usually make it Felix wouldn't be able to see him, but he guessed that came with the 'whole kit and kaboodle'. He takes his hand back and shoves it into the pocket of his own hoodie, frowning as he looks around as well.]

Great. Well I hope the others can handle things without me. [Not that they weren't before they wanted him to join up. He notices Felix bundle his coat around him a bit tighter and pulls back a little.] Sorry. The cold comes with the territory.

Oh, no, you're not bugging me! [Felix doesn't realize what it is that Jack Frost does, actually.] It just never snows where I'm from. Not in the programming and all. [He smiles, proof that it doesn't bother him at all.]

And I wouldn't worry about your friends - I was told that time stops in the places we come from while we're here. Makes me feel better too...I'd hate to think about what would happen if I were gone.

Programming? [Jack raises an eyebrow, but he doesn't make any other comment. He's still kind of getting used to the fact that Felix can see him, let alone what he means. The comment about it never snowing does make him scratch his chin a little.] Well there are some parts of Australia that I tend to avoid because of a certain cranky rabbit but I do my best to cover the rest of the world.

They're not really my friends. We're...more like people that share similar jobs, y'know?

Y'know, I used that line on someone once. Bit of a disappointment when I had to explain the joke.

[Dirk's at the base of the light pole, one hand lifted to shade his eyes despite the pointed sunglasses he's wearing. He tilts his head slightly, as if trying to get a better look at the other boy.]

Somethin' like that line, anyway.

[Jack cranes his neck to look down at the new stranger before he stands from his perch, draping his staff over his shoulders and letting his hands dangle from where he crossed them over it. Without much of a word, he jumps down, using a little breeze to soften his fall.]

I think I used it on Bunny once. Guy was never one for jokes much.

[He steps back as Jack lands, but doesn't seem overly concerned about that little display of what could only be called magic.]

Bunny? His parents can't have liked him much if he got a name like that.

[He gives a small shrug.]

Well, his full name's E. Aster Bunnymund, but he looks more like a kangaroo if you ask me.

[.. Waaait a second.

One of Dirk's eyes squints half-shut behind his shades and for a moment he looks a bit incredulous.]

E. Aster? As in 'Easter'? You must be shittin' me. What does that make you?

No shitting. That's ol' Cottontail himself.

[Jack merely grins and inclines his head, giving a mock bow.]

Jack Frost.

[Dirk has always known all kinds of people could turn up here but he never thought of something like that.]

That'll be 'the' Jack Frost, spirit of winter, so on and all that good stuff, yeah? I've heard of you.

[Smirk.]

I'm Dirk Strider.

That's me. You might also know me as Old Man Winter or Father Frost but as you can see, I'm a bit young for a guy pushing three hundred and nineteen.

[At least his sense of humor is still intact. That's always a good sign.]

Pleasure. You guys have some nice weather around here.
