[OPEN EVENT] Weekend Winter Wonderland
Characters: All?
Date: March 8th-11th
Location: All of Keeliai
Situation: It's been a stressful month thus far for a lot of people, but Jack is determined to Make All The Happy and decides he needs to get back to his wintery roots by giving the city a proper snowing.
Warnings/Rating: People high on snow glitter?
NOTES: Actionspam OR prose, whatever is preferred! (Settings were just easier to prose.) Make your own thread headers if none of these suit! ♥
Jack had spent the last three hours balanced motionlessly on the top of a flagpole, head tilted back as he listened to the wind and the sound of the city below. Where is Winter? it asked. I'm here! the spirit replied, but he knew it didn't mean his physical presence. He'd had too much on his mind and too much in his heart and in that sense he had indeed been absent these last few weeks.
Eyes closed and thoughtlessly trusting, he tipped forward into open air, letting the wind catch him and hurl him upward into the misty cloud cover that scudded across the stars tonight. At his touch they thickened, fat and pale grey against the indigo backdrop and Jack swirled them up, the motions so ingrained in him they felt just like breathing. In the small hours of the morning snowflakes began to fall on the sleeping city, specks at first but then quickly becoming heavier.
Now with a fresh canvas to work with, Jack was really in his element. He could never have done something like this back home, not anywhere in his world. It would have been too strange, too inexplicable, drawn too much attention. But here on the turtle, things were different. There wasn't really a semblance of normal and Jack poured his imagination and heart into the things he wanted most to share, and from the snow rose gleaming swirls of snow and blue light, forming things of exceptional detail and delight.
By the time the sun rose, a solid three feet of the snow had blanketed the city, glistening and crisp and Jack went rocketing down the streets, rapping on doors and windows to leave spirals of frost on every surface.
"Whooohoo! Snow day! Get up sleepyheads, everyone come out and play!"

ICE SCULPTING IS TRAINING | OPEN
He takes time out of the day to build, in more secluded areas than the primary fields where the kedan children and others play, concentrating to bring the snow into form. Tall mounds taking shape into figures, obvious as something but lacking in true definition. Then he soaks it down and lets it harder into ice before hydro-sculpting more defined limbs and curves. The face is always last.
Right now, he is sculpting a large octopus, tentacles curving and undulating are they stretch out in different directions. Not far away there is the head of a dragon, scales sharp and as dangerous as its fangs, coming up out of the snow like a monster from the sea. It's not a completely realistic rendition, more stylized and angular instead. But it is large enough that someone could probably fit their head between its jaws.]
In times like this, I can truly understand to gap that has grown between us, my friends. [He is speaking softly to himself--or perhaps to those who he knows are not there to here.]
no subject
He watches him sculpt for a little while, watching the ice creatures take shape, before he approaches, feet crunching in the snow, a steaming cup of hot cocoa in one hand, which he holds out in offering.] Mera and I thought you might like some. Hot chocolate.
no subject
So he tells himself to relax. Makes sure his stance is more welcoming and open. He reaches out to take the cup.] Thank you. [He holds it in his hands as it cools enough for him to drink.] M'gann would approve of the selection.
no subject
It's nice to see something of home. [He reaches out a little to brush fingertips along one of the octopus's ice tentacles.] Why not put them in the city with the others? The scenery is very surface-centric right now. [Referring to the ice landmarks Jack had erected through parts of the city. Not a single Atlantean landmark, though he did expect that.] I'm sure Mera would love to see these, though.
no subject
[Martians do not have marshmallows.]
And I am not the artist that Topo is. These are merely a way for me to strengthen my control. Nothing near worthy enough to be displayed that way. [He pauses.] But...should the Queen wish to see them. they should keep for the day.
no subject
You don't give yourself enough credit. I don't really have much of an eye for art, but I believe these are better than the statues around the city. [Might be slightly biased. He glances over at Kaldur after a moment.] If you'd like help with your training, you only have to ask. Mera knows more about your abilities than I would, but I'm sure she wouldn't object either.
no subject
[If he was to better my skills, then he should do it on his own terms rather than going back to expecting her to take on a pupil that chose another over her. It seems rather rude, having decided to leave twice.]
My skills are not nearly as up to par as others who studied sorcery would be. I can only advance so far, but it is not something that distresses. I made that decision.
no subject
You don't have to impose those limits on yourself. We should always strive to be the best we can.
no subject
You are right, but I still feel it is better to see how far I can progress on my own first. I apologize if that is an insult to either of you, it is not my intent.
no subject
I suppose I've been pushing, haven't I? I think I'm just used to Lorena constantly being on my fins. [He exhales, expression fairly relaxed despite everything.] I only want you to know that you can come to us, if you feel like you need to.

When she arrives at Kaldur's statues she moves right up to them, investigating the detail. She will take advantage of that gap in the dragon's mouth to stick her head inside of. "Preeetty."
no subject
Thank you. But the teeth are still sharp. It is not meant for people to...engage it in such a way.

That is...good. [Kaldur wonders if she is like this normally.] Do you like snow that much?

[After a minute, though, her face turns back into a grin.] Let's play!

You're very good at this.
no subject
That is very kind of you to say, but truly my skills are far beneath your own.

no subject
Ah--Thank you, but...I very much doubt that. This is not the normal area of my expertise, I admit. I am better at...offensive constructs.
no subject
Offense is important. It's always good to know how to use your abilities to fight back.
no subject
...Using my skills to fight has never been my trouble. [He was trained as a soldier.] It is harder still to use them for other things. I do not lack...pride in my abilities as you say, but I am aware there is a great much I still have to learn.
no subject
And not to be overbearing but should you ever need help or have questions about your abilities, I'm more than willing.
