Jack Frost: Hey kids, it's me Frosty! Welcome to Magical Snow La--
Jack: !?
Surprise for Jack and Snegurochka!
Snegurochka: W-what are you doing, Jackie?
Jack: OH MY GOD YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SAY MY NAME WHEN I'M IN CHARACTER
Jack muffles Snegurochka and checks if anyone heard!
Jack: Why the hell did you follow me? Just leave me alone.
Koropokkur: She was lost so I brought her here.
Jack: Goddammit, boss!
Koropokkur: Now now, you're still on the job "Frosty."
A bunch of kids run up to Jack Frost!
Kids: Yay, Frosty! Pictures! Hugs!
Jack: Sure, get in line!
Boy A: Ooh, nice and cool skin.
Koropokkur: Hey, I'll take a pic for you!
Girl B: Frosty, headpats please!
Jack: Okay! Look at the camera and say "Frosty!"
Snegurochka is taken aback! ...then joins the line.
Jack: Damn you move fast. Is this for blackmail? It is, isn't it? I'm so dead.
Snegurochka: What kind of person do you think I am!? I just want a picture with Frosty!
People start noticing Magical Girl Snegurochka is here and ask for pictures too!
Koropokkur: Okay back off people, Snegurochka's not working right now.
Snegurochka: Oh, it's okay!
Snegurochka and Jack Frost whisper when things calm down.
Jack: ...so you skipped school too? Starting your delinquent arc?
Snegurochka: You promised you'd tell me what you were doing if I came with.
Jack: I didn't think you'd go for it! So what are you here for? Gonna shout from the rooftops? Make it extra loud so the class at school can hear!
Snegurochka: UGH, I said I'm not gonna! Why are you keeping this secret though? Grandpa knows and said it was okay, right?
Jack: Suuuure, it's totes easy for the school punk to say he part times as a wholesome little park mascot. Not like I don't have a rep or anything.
He seems touched though.
Snegurochka: I'm sure you'd be popular if you spoke up about it!
Jack Frost: I-it's not like I care about that or anything... Little kids are better, they all run up to me in the winter.
Koropokkur nods along.
Snegurochka: Does that mean you like me since I'm a little snow girl?
Jack: ...not really.
Snegurochka: But why though!?
Jack smiles at Snegurochka's pouting.
Snegurochka: Tee hee, well tell me if you ever change your mind. Magical Girl Snegurochka will help you!
Jack is surprised and is about to say "thanks" when...
Boy C: Frosty, take pictures with me!
Jack: O-oh, sure!
Later, Santa School
Snegurochka: Hey guys, how about we do the Santa Sendoff at a theme park? Oujimachi Academy's staff runs Magical Snow Land, so we could ask for a school collab.
Guy A: Cool idea, Snegurochka!
Girl B: Isn't that an elementary school with lots of good kids? Seems weird for Santas to ask them for help.
Snegurochka: I was thinking of asking for help with making events exciting! And I might know a guy...
Guy A: Oh my god, someone in show biz!?
Snegurochka: Tee hee, it's a surprise!
Snegurochka winks at Jack Frost! Jack just sighs.
Flashback! Lunch time for Jack Frost and Snegurochka! It's super cold in the school courtyard, but they don't care.
Snegurochka: This is great!
Jack: ...can you stop following me already?
Snegurochka: Am I in the way...?
Jack: W-why are you acting all soft all of a sudden? And no. But now people are talking about how you keep calling me Big Bro...
Snegurochka bursts into laughs.
Snegurochka: Haha, you fell for it! But it's sweet of you to try to push me away. But I'm a TV star, remember? People gossip about me all the time, Big Bro. You couldn't persuade me either. Unless...?
Jack Frost: Why you little--!!
Snegurochka: Nooo, not the noogie!
Jack and Snegurochka are shocking passing randos.
Jack: ...so why didn't you blab about my theme park gig?
Snegurochka: Oh my god Jackie, you're okay with telling people now!?
Jack: Nah...I mean, I thought maybe sorta...?
Snegurochka: Oh, then I've got an idea!
Present
Jack Frost: (How was I supposed to say no!? Maybe I should have anyways...)
The class is looking at Snegurochka as she talks about the theme park.
Jack: I guess I could always call out as Frosty on Christmas. And it'd be weird if I were here for Christmas...
Jack looks at Snegurochka again.
Jack: Okay, I'm gonna try talking with people this time!
Jack: (thinks)
Jack: ...make it next time.
Later
Magical Snow Land
Jack Frost: ...why are you here again?
Snegurochka: Prelim checks since we're doing the Santa Sendoff here.
Koropokkur: Yep! Anything to entertain the kids! Also Santas are some of the good adults.
Snegurochka: Thanks, we'll make the Sendoff a wonderful time!
Koropokkur: It's no big deal. Tell me if you need anything!
Jack wants to say something but can't because he's on the clock. Anyways, here comes the rest of the event cast!
MC: omg cute polar bear! (gets in line) / damn, look at all the ankle biters
(AB) Hastur: That's what you're into?
Yoshito: Master, Moritaka's fatter and fluffier!
Tianzun: Let's take pictures! Too bad Hastur wouldn't put on a costume...
(C) Tianzun: It's okay, anyone can come have fun! But it's too bad Hastur won't put on a costume...
Hastur: Why should I!? And why take a group picture!? ...me and MC will suffice.
Yoshito: I feel strange smiling...also why am I here instead of Moritaka?
Tianzun: So I can fix your sad boy vibes! Good times for everyone!
MC just took everyone along instead of deciding, as one does. Koropokkur notices.
Koropokkur: Oh hey MC, come to be a kid again?
MC: I guess? / Why are you here? / I came to hang out with everyone!
---
(AC) Koropokkur: Cool! How about I guide you around? I own this joint.
(B) Koropokkur: Because I own this joint!
---
Koropokkur: I made this paradise for kids with another person.
MC: The polar bear over there? / You sound like an adult / You're not kicking me out, are you?
(A) Koropokkur: Him? Nah.
(B) Koropokkur: (GASP) The forbidden words!
(C) Koropokkur: Oh, you want me to toss you into the river while frozen? Kidding. Besides...it was the wish of the one I worked with to make this place open and fun for everyone. Surprisingly, I don't hate every minute of it.
Snegurochka: Do you know them, Koropokkur? Hello, I'm Snegurochka!
MC: (introduce yourself) / OMG I'm a huge fan and watch all your shows!
---
(BC) Snegurochka: Aww, thank you!
---
Snegurochka: Anyways, you all look friendly. Nice outfits!
Tianzun: I know right? This idea was awesome! Man Hastur, you really should've dressed up.
Hastur: SILENCE! It physically pains me to be seen in your presence!
Snegurochka: But dressing up helps you get into the right state of mind!
Tianzun: Mood, girl!
MC: Why do you have so many outfits? / Cosplay, awesome! / Is that why we came here?
(A) Tianzun: There's a parade coming! Costumes are part of the deal!
(B) Tianzun: Yeeeaah!
(C) Tianzun: Yep! This place is okay with it unless it's not an event season.
Tianzun: Okay guys, I'm a villainous little devil! You can spank me if you want, MC.
Yoshito: I can give you more than a spanking if you won't stop lewding Master...
Tianzun: No wait, stop! I was just kidding and trying to lighten the mood!
Koropokkur: Oh my god MC, you can't just bring people here who might start stabbing each other. This is a public facility!
MC: Yeah I'm worried / He's good. I think. / I'll handle it.
Koropokkur: Okay yeah I'll guide you guys! We'll go clockwise!
Hastur: Behold, MC! There is a VR space ride here! Bold of them to put place one before a Foreigner's eyes!
Yoshito: I'd like to...visit the Ferris wheel and castle.
MC: Sounds good / What should we do while waiting? / What's our lunch plan?
(B) Tianzun: I can handle that! With mini-games!
(C) Tianzun: I've already looked the place up!
Snegurochka seems sad everyone else is having fun.
Snegurochka: ...can I join you guys? I came alone today.
The party looks at each other for the hell of it.
Tianzun: Sure! Right, MC?
Hastur: It'd make this party less crazy at least.
MC: It's okay! Honestly I'm wondering if it's actually okay to ask you along.
Snegurochka: Thanks! Too bad Big Bro Jackie's busy...
Koropokkur: What, you wanna go play with Jack? I can go get him.
A minute later or something
Jack Frost: Feels like you're getting meaner lately, Koropokkur. Also, you want me to hang around a bunch of complete strangers?
Koropokkur: Bitch, you owe me for hiring you on as Frosty when you were bumming around Oji and Aragawa.
Jack: Dude, what? And wouldn't it look bad for me to wander around here out of my mascot suit?
Koropokkur: It's cool, your vibes are way different in and out of suit. If I have to, I guess I can give you Presence Concealment with my artifact.
Jack: Pffft, weirdo. You know I'd never huddle under it with you.
MC: Your brother's a polar bear? Wow! / You seem so different now. / So cool!
Koropokkur: Whoops, you got found out...oh well! MC's not part of Santa School, so it's cool.
Jack Frost: Dammit, are you the type of asshole to cancel me over Twitter or something? 'cause I will so drag you with me to hell if you do.
Koropokkur: They're cool, stop huffing your paint fumes.
Jack groans, then sizes up the party.
Snegurochka: Nooo, Jackie! This is why nobody likes you at school! So you guys, um, this is my big brother Jackie and he's actually a nice guy and--
Jack: Ohmygodshutup!
Snegurochka: So, um, please be friends with us! We don't really have any...
Jack is silently dying of cringe behind Snegurochka.
Tianzun: Becoming friends sounds great, huh guys?
Yoshito: Maybe not from someone like me who might literally backstab you.
Hastur: And I could stomp out you puny things in seconds. B-but I might still grant you an audience if that is not an issue.
Tianzun: Would it kill you guys to just say yes?
MC: Well if you're okay with weirdos. / Oh you guys~ / I'm in!
Snegurochka: Tee hee, you're just like Jack. He's always pushing people away saying they'll catch a cold near him.
Jack: What the everloving hell kind of guy do you think I am???
Hastur: A Foreigner like me? Just like him? In what galaxy!?
Jack: How about the one where I put you on permanent ice, lizard face?
Hastur: Lizard!? HOW DARE
MC: Mkay, moving on / Aww, friends! / Shut up, guys!
Snegurochka: I-I'm sorry, I keep running my mouth without thinking...!
Tianzun: Now now, girl, that's not how you should act with friends. Chill.
Koropokkur: Ugh, you are all a pain in my ass. Ahem, ~Frosty~!
Jack suddenly stops and smiles...then gets pissy at the trick.
Koropokkur: Didja see that, Snegurochka? That's a magical spell that works on Jack!
Jack: GODDAMMIT
Yoshito: I'm starting to get excited among all these people.
MC: You look like you're enjoying yourself / Looking forward to things? / I'm glad you're excited
(A) Yoshito: I...suppose. This makes me nervous, but not unpleasantly so.
(B) Yoshito: Perhaps...ever since I put on this outfit, I think.
(C) Yoshito: P-please, don't worry on my account!
Hastur: So where are we going to already?
Snegurochka: Um, there's something I want to go ride on! Line's long, so can you tell me about yourselves in the meantime?
Tianzun: Okay! Me first! So when I first met MC...
Yoshito: I have something too! When MC and Moritaka met...
Jack Frost looks so done with this. Snegurochka smiles at him.
Jack: Fiiiine, I'll come with.
Koropokkur: Lemme tell you about when I first Jack, where he got frozen out by the class and--
Jack: NOWAITSTOP
There's somebody spying on the party...
Mob: Target found. Tailing in secret...
Hastur: (stares)
MC: What's up? Don't fall behind now! / (drag Hastur along)
---
(AB) Hastur: Oh, you want me to come with you, do you? Well I'm coming.
(C) Hastur: Don't touch me so casually, fool!
---
Hastur looks back one more time before continuing on.
