A. Furry sim ~~aka animal crossing~~

[Jack Frost, Spirit of Winter and Guardian of Fun, is now a white fox.

An anthro fox that wears clothes and walks on his back legs, yet still... A fox. He isn't the biggest fan of all this fur (thank goodness Bunny can't see him now) but he couldn't say no the kids. The only reason he chose this harmless game was to play with them, and here they are now, none of them with the villager option. Anthro animals all around, including their caretaker.

At least he can keep his powers here, and that means making this fishing competition more exciting. He walks on the river, freezing it up and sending the fish in all directions while the kids chase after them. Yes, chase - rods are for boring fools.

All the fun and laughter is interrupted when one of the shadows in the river suddenly becomes... bigger. And bigger, and bigger... and suddenly a very long neck is popping out of the water. The kids gasp but Jack just raises a furry eyebrow.]

Nessie mad at me for freezing her home? It's 1752 all over again. [He pauses as he remembers that and then--] RUN!

[The kids do as he says, trying to find some kind of food to distract her. But Jack doesn't go after them, he stands in a defensive position with his staff, totally ready for this. Jokes aside, this isn't the real Nessie so... this monster would totally get him first place in the competition, right?]

B. Japanese Squidward is actually fun ~~aka splatoon~~

[When he isn't playing with the kids, Jack chooses games where he can be, well. An asshole.

He doesn't change clothes or appearance this time, but he does pick a cap with tentacles on its sides. As much as he likes white, it isn't the right color for this game, so he goes for blue. The roller is cool at the beginning simply becomes it makes people so freaking mad. But it also gets boring quickly fast.

The shooters are the real fun.

He doesn't care about coloring the area first, and it looks like that's ok with his occasional teammates, because Jack is great at stopping his opponents. He is the "disruption" type of player, waiting for you to finish painting an area before he attacks by drawing a wonderful snowflake on your base, hiding in the ink and waiting for the perfect second to cover your face with ink until you regret your life choices, and taking advantage of his power to fly from one corner to the other and freeze the ink you are trying to swim in.

Insult him all you want, it's not like he cares.]

C. They see me rollin', they hatin' ~~aka katamary damacy~~

Out of my way or part of my ball, your choice!

[That and similar kinds of silly phrases are what Jack yells whenever he finds another player in the game. And that player may be surprised to notice two things: one, Jack isn't pushing the ball, he is walking on it like a clown; and two, the big ball feels quite cold.

He may occasionally add frost to it to make it bigger. Totally not cheating, ssshhh.

When Jack isn't laughing, he's humming or even singing along - and look at that, he's quite good at it! He doesn't realize he's doing so, too distracted by his solo-fun he is. That's the nature of this tune, it catches you unaware until you're NAHNAHNAHNAH- dammit.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ you're a squid now, you're a kid now, you're a squid, you're a "kid"-- on a dragon which probably isn't fair, but hiccup justifies it with the fact that there's someone on the other team who's got some... additional advantages as well.

he honestly wasn't taking it so seriously at first, shooting... lime green ink? paint?? ???? here and there with enough hesitation to show some slight confusion, toothless ( of course ) walking beside him, constantly looking down at his claws due to the weirdness of walking on what was essentially goop.

then jack struck, and hiccup understands the pain of a face full of ink, frozen ink, everything ink, and the point of this entire thing. with that, the mask is-- quite literally on, and hiccup's utilizing toothless to his full extent. ... okay, maybe stealth is a little difficult to do when the entire place is blue and lime green, but they can at least slip here and there behind walls and pillars with surprising speed.

now, the players ( and jack, mainly, because this night fury only seems to come around when he actually shows himself ) are met with the high-pitched sound that follows toothless as he flies, and then: splat splat splat exploding color everywhere, courtesy of a big shot of ink merging with a well-aimed mini plasma blast in mid-air.

and in case anyone needed confirmation that this dynamically dumb duo had a purpose, from the masked rider, a loud: ]

Did we get him, bud?

[ is heard in the silence following the freshly painted lime green everything as they search for any signs of their frosty target.

sorry to any additional casualties...... ]

[The dragon is totally fair. Know why? Because it adds to the challenge. Jack isn't sure if he wishes they were on his team or against it - they're fantastic opponents, that's true. But that paint plasma blast is also amazing, and Jack thinks they could make even bigger colorful explosions together.

Ah, but no time for daydreaming right now, this is Blue versus Green and green must go down.

The frosty target is definitely hit by the green ink blast, and his answer to that is... laughing. Because none of the regular players have been this fun so far.]

Taking advantage of your extra abilities, huh? Two can play this game!

[Those are his last shouted words before he dives into the blue ink, cleaning away the icky green, refilling his weapon and... getting some ink on his staff, two. Two can play this game indeed.

The wind suddenly blows, splashing both colors everywhere, which serves as a pseudo cover when suddenly Jack jumps out of his hiding spot and just... keeps going up, appearing right behind the dragon and his masked rider with his weapon aimed at them.

It's not just his weapon, however. It's his weapon AND his staff - together they send a beam of ink covered snowflakes. Is Toothless fast enough to dodge that?]

[ that's a yes, we got him. the mask hides his smile but not the surprise in his eyes as jack disappears into the ink again, and both toothless and hiccup look around quickly for his place of re-emergence. ... except that's difficult to do when the wind acts as a cover for jack. incredibly cool, incredibly distracting, as they squint through the colors.

dragon and rider whip around almost immediately when mr. windspeaker finally makes himself known again, the first muffled words out of hiccup's mouth-- ]

TOOTHLESS, DIVE!

[ which he does, just enough to avoid being blasted with jack's colorful array of snowflakes, wings outstretching when they reach a suitable level.

and hiccup is just left to look up, pulling his mask up to utter his words of challenge, words of strength, words of conquering before they move on to whatever attack they're going to throw at each other next. ]

Uh, hey. Nice hat. [ ... ] Were you down there?

[ wow. edgy.

mainly because... he's out of ink for now. hiccup's note to self: restock before he gets blasted. ]

[SO CLOSE. That was so freaking close. The frustration! Ah, but it's not just frustration, is it. No, there's also excitement, and lots of it. Toothless can keep up with his speed! Jack never had an opponent that could do that, except maybe for Bunny, but the kangaroo can't fly.

Jack dives in right after them, weapons ready to strike, attack charging, shooting in three, two...

...everything stops when Hiccup speaks, and Jack can only facepalm.]

WAY to ruin the moment, you big dork!

[But ok, he's smiling a bit too. And that may be a chuckle or two. Hiccup is funny, alright, don't judge him. After shaking his head a couple of times, he lands next to them, bare feet not caring about the ink all over their skin. It's not snow but those toes are totally used to goo getting between them.]

No, I wasn't down there. It was my lost cousin, Pyro Jack. [Sarcasm? No way. Also, Jack hasn't put his weapon down yet. He's friendly but not stupid.] What are you doing, Hiccup, you're making yourself an easy target.

[Totally not worried, nope. This game can feel a bit too real sometimes.]

[ ah, yes, easy target. jack's weapon may be up but hiccup's is aimed to the side and, while his hands may be on it, his finger isn't exactly on the trigger. not much good it would do him, at this point, because he's still on empty and still hasn't dived into the goop to refill it.

yeah, toothless is too busy sniffing it to swim in it (and also spreading the small amounts of green behind them, around, them with his tail, as they've landed in a pool of blue, but that's neither here nor there. are they going to dive into that? oh, heavens no, of course... not??? ) ]

Apparently not easy enough, given the fact that you aren't shooting at me.

[ that's not how it works, doofus. that isn't how it works at all. but given the way hiccup shrugs, he seems to think that he can handle any immediate threat that isn't jack.

he is. totally taking this seriously again. ]

Speaking of shooting, that last attack... Is there a name for that? [ a hand, flat, moves forward, imitating the move. ] Big, Icy... Snowflake Beam? It almost got us!

[ no, hiccup's just on distraction duty. ]

[An arched eyebrow.] You're right. I'm not.

[Gotta fix that right now! Don't mind him as he raises his weapon and shots a couple of quick bullets to bother their faces - with the helmet off is much easier now. And oh so satisfying! Add to that a bit of frost here and there to keep his blue in place... perfect.

Dragon and rider get a quick lookover before Jack shakes his head again.]

I'm getting you next time. Wanna know the name of that? [As if it had one anyway.] Catch me first and I'll tell you.

[He's about to leave, but he stops to look over his shoulder with squinting eyes. ...ugh, this whole "making friends" deal changes the game. Why can't he just freeze them and leave? He doesn't have this trouble with Bunny... probably because they started with punches. Hiccup has always been, well, nice.]

...I can take you being nice in freaking jail, but nothing of that here, got it? [Here comes the 300yo's speech, with finger waving and everything.] Everyone is waiting to jump on you so better start playing the game like a-- a-- a proper crazy ax-wielding viking would do. I'm not gonna save your butt.

[That's a lie, he totally is. But that's enough talking for now, he can't allow Hiccup to see him going soft over friendship, time to dive back into the ink and recharge, waiting for certain pair to make their move.]

[ smacked with blue. that actually catches him majorly off-guard, and both dragon and dragon rider recoil back a tad. hiccup's hand goes up to his face, and toothless's tail makes a mighty loud splash in the ink as he moves it quickly in surprise.

that was unfair. ]

Jack, that was. Did you just--

[ he shouldn't have mentioned the shooting. now he's got a blue face, and-- he should've kept the mask on, he knew it.

but beyond that, the rest of what jack does is just. hm. at least hiccup doesn't have to pull some sneaky escape manoeuvre here... not that he has it in him to be stealthy, with what mister frosty says. does. and before he can even say something in return, jack's already diving into the ink. hiccup's left to blink, look down at toothless, whom looks up with curious green eyes rimmed in blue. ]

Did I say something weird? How do I even respond to-- [ in return: a tilt of the head, the night fury's rendition of a shrug. HE'S SO LOST.

... a pause. ]

Astrid was right, bud. Red is your color.

[ ha. ha ha. with that out of the way... a soft touch to toothless' head begins their move to take jack's lead, as they dive into the green ink around them.

they return to the surface a short distance away, wings splashing a great deal of green on blue as they emerge (punctuated with a muttered "that is still weird" from the rider). next thing on the agenda: catch jack. second: ask him what the heck was with that. third: ... well, actually, maybe he should just see if he can try and find jack, instead of getting ahead of himself.

hiccup supposes the best way to catch jack would be.... in his words, actually playing the game.

so, he takes it upon himself to use toothless's tail as a kind of makeshift roller, painting over blue with green quite quickly, making sure to avoid any shots fired at both of them and knocking any other blue players they come across into the ink with a quick flick of the tail. jack can't hide in the goop if there's none of his team's goop to hide in. the plan: make absolutely everything green. jack'd have to show up eventually, and he would be much less slippery with less blue to use.

crazy ax-wielding..... crazy ax-wielding how do you even do that-- ]
