I think Loki made that thing. [She shrugs. He's probably the only god she doesn't completely hate.] He was getting tired of people asking questions.

[2cool4guardian]

Loki, Loki... [Brb, thinking. That word rings a bell.]

Oh hey, that's my house! So I got the one God that actually answers? I don't know if being satisfied or laughing at the irony.

[occulthymns]

Well, Loki has some pretty good powers too. So there's that to consider.

[2cool4guardian]

But they aren't my powers. [How can he be the Spirit of Winter without, well, winter?] Are you in Loki too?

[occulthymns]

N... no. [She rubs the back of her head awkwardly.] I'm in Freya.

[2cool4guardian]

And that... is a bad thing? [He isn't sure how to understand that awkward reaction of hers.]

[occulthymns]

The powers aren't that useful and Freya went crazy a little while ago. She hurt a lot of people.

[2cool4guardian]

[Jack arches both eyebrows. WELP.]

So much for needing us around. ...her powers didn't cause that, did they?

[occulthymns]

Not the ones she gave us, but she used some kind of magic to mess with our dreams. A lot of people got plenty of horrible nightmares.

[2cool4guardian]

[Oh boy, of all the topics... Jack tenses, remembering what happened last time certain someone messed with people's dreams.]

So even Asgard has a Boogeyman. [Jack shakes his head.] Forget about what I said before, they definitely need a hand if that's how things are.

[occulthymns]

[Euri's overcome with a blank expression.]

Huh? What's a boogeyman? Did you just make that up?

[2cool4guardian]

"A" Boogeyman? Woah, no. Just the Boogeyman. We don't need more, one is already taking too much space.

[Now for the other question... welp. How can he even explain?]

He's... the personification of fear, I guess. You know, all those stories about something under your bed or hiding in your closet?

[occulthymns]

Ah.... [Oh, geez. She knows the stories she got as a kid weren't the same as human kids, so she blinks.]

You... don't mean undead things, right?

[2cool4guardian]

[That's actually a good question. Jack doesn't know exactly where Pitch comes from. But what are the chances of he having the same past as Jack? None, right? Or at least, Jack doesn't want any more things in common with the bastard.]

No... not this time. Zombies are too dumb to make plans.

[occulthymns]

[Her expression falls a bit.]

And... this guy isn't?

[2cool4guardian]

...no. [Damn, that hurt to admit.

Jack keeps talking, unaware of her expression.] Anyway, the nightmare problem has been taken care of, right?

[occulthymns]

[Eeugh, that is so creepy.]

For now. But Freya's still out there....

[2cool4guardian]

[The English accent makes it creepier. No, really!]

Yeah, but it's not as if the Gods really care, do they?

[occulthymns]

I don't know. I don't think they do. Anyway, there are people like us around who don't think she should be punished, which is shitty.

[2cool4guardian]

They mess with our lives and brought us here against our wills - I don't think nightmares are the thing needing to learn a lesson around here.

[occulthymns]

[She sighs heavily.]

No, but the nightmares really didn't help....
