Oddball turned to face Alex, looking like the saddest, wettest kitten that ever escaped from the dishwasher.

They have been betrayed!!

Oddball may not be versed on human holidays or traditions, but that does not stop the changeling from involving her with a lighthearted prank. A fish meticulously formed out of peanut butter, frozen to maintain it's integrity until delivery, is presented as Alex smiles. Happy April Fools, gamekeeper! [@crystal-grotto]

Oddball, unused to receiving presents, excitedly shoved the fish in their mouth. But wait--betrayal. Their warmer body temperature melted the slight freeze, sticking their teeth to each other.

A confused huff, and they began clawing at their mouth, smacking their lips in a feeble attempt to free themselves from this hell.

Oddball barely even noticed the helping hand until it became tangled in the loose mats of thick, wet fur. Her huge head whirled around, staring at the small form through the crook of her arm.

Seasons? She heard tale of them, but never experienced any change in atmosphere before. Nor...whatever was happening to her now. Shedding a bit of fur, yes. But entire globs falling off?

The mute snorted her displeasure. 'Hot', 'ow'. She sighed quickly, using those lethal claws to rip another chunk free. When her back foot became tangled, the mass of fur and stone stumbled about, rolling into their own empty hunting cart, prepared for a night out, now half shattered under her weight.

If there was something Jim was glad Claire taught him, it was sign for those who did not have a voice. It'd came in handy many times - and now was no different. Keeping track of the gamemaster's motions as she speaks, the boy is silent as gears of brain work along as to what Oddball could possibly mean until the blob comes free in raking digits.

Blue blinking in surprise a noise escapes him as understanding fell into place abruptly. Of course. She was a frost troll and winter was ending; plus to top it all off, it looked like her overcoat was getting ready to go!

Jim could only imagine how uncomfortable it must be.

'Ohh-' the raven haired boy starts, dropping his hand to instead reach out to the she-troll in a attempt to help, soothe, whatever she would accept.

'The seasons are changing. The cold is on it's way out to give way to spring and then summer; there's not anything I can do to stop the weather... it'll be back after those pass.'

Oddball pauses, white eyes searching their memories for the right symbol. Slowly, their massive claws clumsily sign 'hot' 'bad' 'stop'.

They then lose the battle against their own skin, stopping to sit, and scratch at their thick, clumping fur. A chunk falling out, much to their own horror.

Oddball blew cool air at the back of Jims neck in an angered snort. They were still new to this world of light. Yet, even in the dark, they could feel the change in the air. It was warmer now. And their fur itched. They gave Jim a look of confusion, trying a few of those hand signals Claire had been teaching her. 'Bad'. (@forlornfrostborn)

If she wanted the Trollhunter's attention, then Oddball certainly had it. The cold breeze cause the teenager's body to convulse in a shiver - and in tandem with goosebumps making their home on skin does Jim bounce on heels to round on the she-troll; but whatever complaint he had died on lips as attentions were drawn away from the chill she'd caused when massive claws signed out a single word.

'Bad?' Comes repetition, one of Jim's hands moving up to rub warmth back into himself.

'What's bad?'

[forlornfrostborn]

Giggling because I got a notification that you were back from hibernation

This gains a confused look from the Frost Troll.

What was the point of bothering her at such an hour?

Though, the grey meat looks a bit tasty.

Hagel is well aware there is some extra care thats needed with this gift parcel. With whelps involved, there are many little pouches left behind to be found by children and parent alike - one of which is set just out of reach of questing whelp arms.

These gifts are wrapped with brown parchment paper, a leaf green ribbon tied around each neck. Tucked in those ribbons are pine tree sprigs as well as tags attatched with cordage that reads: Glücklich Hibernale Sonnenwende!

An inviting aroma of various savoury and sweet foods as well as whelp safe snacks leak out from inside of each pouch - a miniature feast in waiting. [@crystal-grotto]

Half the presents are torn open before Oddball even arrives home. Another poor sitter storming out, shouting expletives and swearing to never go near those demons again. Her frown changed upon sighting the one pouch still intact upon the windowsill.

Slowly, she gathered the screaming pups, dangling the final gift above them until each calmly sat down...then gave her part to the pack of toothy toddlers to chew on.

...She would need to find someone as patient as her to watch the pups.

Oddball sat down to be more level with Varvatos. The strange blue man wanted to ask a question? Her heart stopped, fearing it to be of her allegiance, or birth. Perhaps about her time in the Darklands. Those were the questions all the others had.

But, not fielding his question would be worse, in her eyes. She shut those grey orbs, and nodded. Yes, she would answer him.

Varvatos could feel that he's gonna get along with Oddball for a very long time as he tilts his head a bit off to the side. "IS IT ALRIGHT IF VARVATOS ASKS YOU A QUESTION?" He doesn't know her name and yet he isn't too sure what kind of creature Oddball is.

#ic: Oddball

[forlornfrostborn]

Oddballs thick rounded ears flopped curiously against her stone skin. She wanted to tell him. Assure this blue creature that he had no reason to apologize. It was her that became curious, and her that frightened him with her immense size.

She is aware of how people see her. Large, sharp, and... well, a Frost Troll. But mostly they see claws and teeth and...start running. Varvatos was the first to not.

But...silence held her voice captive. A harsh snort became her answer, followed by placing her hand over her chest, then closing her eyes, and bowing her head to him.

"OH, DON'T WORRY. VARVATOS SHALL HELP YOU PUT THE...I BELIEVE HOOMANS CALL THEM TREES! VARVATOS SHALL HELP YOU PUT THE TREE BACK." Varvatos took the initative on helping Oddball put the tree back, feeling genuine guilt for frightening Oddball with his emotions. "VARVATOS APOLOGIZES FOR FRIGHTENING YOU. VARVATOS IS NOT WELL-EQUIPPED WITH THIS KIND OF INTERACTION."

#ic: Oddball

[forlornfrostborn]

Oh... oh no, he's afraid. Stone brow knitted into silent panic. She takes several rapid steps back, thick tail whacking a tree over in her haste. Forgetting herself, Oddball turns around, picking up the upturned foliage and...adorably... attempted to replant it with her massive, lethally sharp claws.

When they kept slicing through, she stared back at Varvatos with sad, wet, pathetic eyes. Practically begging for help at this point.

Varvatos' body went absolutely stiff the moment this tall creature gently poked him as he seemed absolutely frozen, not moving an inch. He's worried that Oddball may hurt him and yet he's not prepared for this kind of situation. "Varvatos is...worried."

#Oddball vc: oo neat looking thing--OH NO I HURT THE TREE D: #ic: oddball #Oddball is also a duality fierce and terrifying warrior and just a wet baby

[forlornfrostborn]

Oddballs eyes dart over the detailed diagram. White eyes focusing on the way each line curved and bent in odd patterns. She never heard the word topography. Was it some sort of graph? A topo graph? The idea of math annoyed her, but she did like the pretty picture.

Her great head shifts slightly to the left, dangerous saber teeth arching closer to Jims frail neck. All it would take is one flex of her neck to end his life. But she did not even think of that, distracted by trying to figure out exactly what he held.

If there was anything his training afforded him, it was the ability to be a little more aware of his surroundings even when engrossed in a task. As Oddball's presence draws near and her shadow falls over the youth it takes little time for him to react with a lift of head and a look her way as fingers mark their place within tome.

At first there is a spark of apprehension in Jim's chest as the Frost troll's large head leans close. Then, when she fails to do more than peer at what he held, did the Trollhunter release a breath before thin fingered hands tilt the book more into her line of sight, revealing a fine penmanship of maps.

'Blink gave this to me,' the youth starts slowly, 'I think he's wanting me to learn more topography so I know what I'm dealing with when I travel? Pretty slow going, though, learning what all the lines mean.'

#ic: oddball

[forlornfrostborn]

Oddball is not exactly the stealthiest of Trolls. But, still, she quietly strides up behind Jim nosing her way past his shoulder to see what he had.

Jim is around, even if he is quiet. He's been handed a book to read and study by Blinky (again) so the youth is doing that off to the side, blue drifting from paragraph to paragraph.

It was boring so far, but if the Pannoxi felt it was important and the Trollhunter had the free time, he'd indulge.

#ic: oddball

[forlornfrostborn]

It's totally Ketchup, gang.

The Gumm-Gumm's hand slaps down a sheet of paper. Sturm wears a frown, red eyes shifting sideways and he mutters under his breath.

'I vas forced to make zhis.'

[Sturm's 'Type' bingo chart under cut.]

#crack

[forlornfrostborn]

Oddball pushed her nose closer, holding no fear for the relatively smaller glowing creature. Her eyes narrowed, and the slight tilt of her head spoke of her curiosity, rather than animosity.

But that's small comfort, when you're eleven and a half feet tall, and about as wide as the subject you are studying is tall.

As careful as possible, she raised an obscenely sharp basalt black claw to Varvatos' shoulder, poking him gently.

Varvatos held his hands up out of genuine caution and firmness as he was wanting to play it safe. "EASY...VARVATOS WISHES NO TROUBLE WHATSOEVER..." He was now becoming on edge as his hand gripped around his Serrator that's in the shape of a protractor. "VARVATOS DOES NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUT VARVATOS WILL DEFEND HIMSELF."
