[After North's run around with Pitch and making sure he's not followed back to the apartment (while thinking a few choice words in Russian), North could not have taken the bracelet out any faster. Whether Pitch was in full power or not, North highly doubted the antagonism between the two parties would simply fade because they were now in Asgard. And it was A LOT easier to track down each other without their original abilities and possessions.
North was honestly worried. The Guardians had befriended children here and it was already difficult in the first place to protect them without adding something else. What God had thought this was in any way a good idea?!
So North sends out the message. It may be the middle of the night, they may live in the same place and some may already be asleep but North is too concerned to think of that right now. He needs to summon the Guardians and Jamie.]
The boogeyman is here. Pitch Black. In Asgard!
[Pause before his voice turns more stern.] We need to talk.
[Jamie's groggy when he answers this, all tucked into bed and told a story already but North's voice, his words are enough to get him awake enough to answer.]
WHAT?! You saw him in...What happened? You are unharmed, yes?!
[North will be sorry later for waking Jamie up but the yell right now probably didn't help matters. North may know Jamie's own ice abilities are stronger than North's own but he's still pretty new at this taking complete care of children business.]
[Sorry Jamie. The man has no idea what an indoor voice is when he's worked up. Jamie's brief summary however does start to calm North's nerves down to a more bearable level.]
And this is all? Good...Good. That is...very good. Have just returned from encounter as well. Is most definitely Hel resident. I am not sure if he is in Welcome Hall but he was heading in that direction.
Jamie...I do not need to ask you to be careful, correct? Powers or not, Pitch is dangerous - especially for us.
[Does he know what an indoor voice is on a normal day? Not that Jamie really minds anyway.]
He probably lives in the Welcome House. Most new arrivals do unless they've got friends who live somewhere else. [Like them.] I think he might have the shadow control power. He was talking about them.
Course not. I know he's dangerous. [A small pause.] Are we going to tell people he's here?
Shadows. Is getting better and better. Of course he would not gain something simple. If powers are anything like his own back home, Pitch has advantage when it comes to experience at least.
[Now this is the hard question. North is tempted, oh so tempted to put out the alert to prevent another "Easter" fiasco, but-]
No. [Sigh.] If Pitch moves against another person, is different story - we can warn them and intervene if they wish. But for everyone? No. Pitch is not the boogeyman here, just another traveler. If he believes we are keeping distance, he may be more easier to keep in sight and stop. Set others against him? He may crawl back into hiding and act out even worse at our "threats."
[And, after that other mess with the Gods, North doesn't fully trust all of the travelers not to use this to their advantage somehow.] Pitch is the Guardians' responsibility.
That...Yes, this is true. We do have more allies now...
[(Guardians are still not letting you fight Jamie.) For the first time, North's voice has an edge of disbelief. Despite being surrounded by other spirits back home, North wasn't used to the idea of others helping with the Guardians' struggle against Pitch Black. Jamie and his friends had been enough of a surprise back home.
North pauses again however. Trying to decide what's best. Yes. The children do need to be warned in case they need to defend themselves. But...Seeing a network post would probably make Pitch...react for lack of a better word.]
...Alright. We can warn the children - both in ice rink and if we see Pitch has started. But! Keep off network Jamie. For now, at least. Do not wish to give Pitch warning in addition to children. I will count on you for this then, yes?
Plus a lot of people who wouldn't let kids get hurt.
[He fought Pitch the first time. If anything Jamie does think he should be able to help in the fight against the Boogeyman. Pitch might be an enemy of the Guardians but he's not exactly happy with Jamie either.
[For the first time, North can't help but let out a weary chuckle at that.] Would like to see face when Pitch realizes that parents and adults see him now. Will not take kindly to boogeyman scaring their children.
[(Yeah but they couldn't help that - no belief and all.) As much as North doesn't like it, North can tell that they wouldn't be able to shut Jamie out of this Boogeyman business even if they tried. Guardian or not - Pitch wouldn't forget Jamie. Better to keep Jamie close just in case.
Some of the parents can be pretty scary too. Maybe even more so. [Pitch scares to be scary. Parents do it because they're protecting someone. Jamie would rather face Pitch than an angry parent.]
Hmph. [And there's that weak chuckle again. North is taking faint amusement out of the images running in his head.] Would do job for us with right incentive. Sprinkle in attacking their children's holiday and boom. Runaway Pitch.
[Thankfully, North's calming down now with the idea of backup (just in case). He pauses now- gathering his thoughts together.]
Ice. Seems I will need to work on powers sooner than I thought. Jamie...Perhaps you can show me few tricks?
Haha. [The chuckle is louder this time.] Especially with some travelers. More than skilled with blade and we could all take needed vacation.
[North didn't doubt some would defend as strongly as they could. Ellie was the most recent example. North smiles finally and continues with his train of last train of thought.]
Good. I have learned trick with my blades and icing ground but...Would be better idea for all of his to have some knowledge of our own abilities.
Perhaps when- Ah!! [Excuse the sharp cry as North finally sees a clock to tell him just what time it is for his announcement.] This is time?! I have not let you sleep.

[Sandy and Jack are both really strong and Jamie's working on it.]
There's a bunch of children here and Pitch isn't invisible anymore. We could at least warn them.
