Everyone Loves the Sleigh

They'd had a few days to get settled in. In that time, the Yetis and Elves had been nothing but welcoming, making sure the gang had a never-ending supply of treats, cocoa, and eggnog, as well as more wholesome food to nosh on. Even though they had work to do - and seemed to enjoy doing it - the Yetis had been helpful in getting them all settled in, into rooms specially designed to each of their specifications. If anything had a want or need of something, like new clothes, or a new pair of shoes, they'd been quick to provide.

Jack and Bunny had done their part to make the new folks feel welcome, as well, by showing them around and socializing, but they'd been in and out constantly during the last few days. Some of the times they'd come back in, they'd looked a touch on this side of ragged.

True to their word, despite the fact that they'd been busy putting out fires caused by Kuk and Its minions, they had reached out to a few contacts of theirs to see about helping the others get home.

That was why Jack was gathering them all up on the balcony in front of the globe.

"Okay, guys, we have some good news. We managed to get in touch with an ally of ours. We think she can give us more information about what exactly you are. Like...how much you were changed to be like us, how the mechanics of the world have changed to pull you in. It might give us some headway in figuring out how to get you back home. She wants to meet you."

"Uuuuugughhughhhhh"

Bunny's initial response was a drawn-out groan of barely contained nausea, as he gripped the edge of the sleigh and tried to balance leaning over it with not looking down.

There did not need to be that many loop-de-loops.

They did not need to be taken that fast.

"Gonna tie you to a tree for six hours this time, you show pony."

There was little actual antagonism behind the threat, but the "this time" suggested there had already been other times.

Nico latched on to the handrail of the sleigh with one hand and clutched her Staff in the other, vowing to throw up on Jack the moment this crazy thing stopped moving.

Jack reached into the pocket of his hoodie and took out a snowglobe.

Without North around, the snowglobes were hard to come by. The yetis knew how to make them but they couldn't crank them out nearly as fast as North could. But a full sleigh full of mythy newbs and the potential of fearling attack gave them a good excuse to use one for right now.

"Taichung," Jack said, shaking the snowglobe and a landscape of the city appeared in its snowy depths. Then he threw the globe in front of the sleigh. A portal vorped into view and away they went.

Howard's never had much of a problem with motion sickness, but the sleigh does give him a few flashbacks to the one day with his cousins and the teacups at Disneyland that put him off blue slushies forever. He grips the seatbelt with both hands until his knuckles turn white, putting all his energy into not letting how completely uncool he is with this show on his face.

But he's really uncool with it.

"And you won't let me drive!" he spits.

"Let you drive and take all his fun?" Bunny scoffed, still gripping the edge of the sleigh in a stranglehold. "Not that yobbo."

At least Howard got to keep his seatbelt.
