[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!"

Tim watches the form darting from one wall to another, throwing snowballs at whoever is in range. He grins a little from his own fortified position and picks up a snowball, taking aim while she goes from one wall to the next. He throws the snowball, then ducks behind his own wall again.

Rikki yelps, mostly out of surprise but partially because some of the snow ends up falling down her jacket, and rolls for cover behind the wall she'd been running to. The rolling... really only has the effect of getting that little bit more snow under her collar, but whatever.

She grabs a snowball and pops back up, mostly hidden behind her wall. She's really not sure who's responsible, but she will exact vengeance.

Tim snickers a little and peers out from behind his own wall. He knows that his snowball hit the target--he'd heard the yelp--but he's looking anyway, because honestly, he doesn't care that much if he takes a snowball to the face.

He grins, snowball in hand, and takes aim again.

There! The dark head's barely popped into view before she hurls a snowball at it. At least the snowball's loosely packed enough that she won't feel bad if it hits him in the face...

The snowball absolutely hits Tim in the face, and he falls back laughing--but not before he lets his own snowball fly, hoping to catch her again.

Rikki hadn't expected him to get a shot off before she hit him - he's got good reflexes and good aim... though really, she probably shouldn't be surprised by that given the general makeup of the foreigner population. She ducks, but the snowball clips her in the side of the head anyway, exploding into powder as it bounces off.

She ducks back behind the cover of the wall, packing another snowball and listening closely for any sign of retaliation.

Oh, there was definitely going to be retaliation. He poked his head out from the cover of his own fort and saw that she was hiding again. All right, well, that was easy to deal with. He moved carefully out from the cover of his snow fort, and started moving toward her wall, snowball in hand.

The sound of footsteps crunching on snow is unmistakeable, and a useful means of tracking his progress toward her defenses. She waits until he's far enough away from his own fort that he can't immediately dive back to safety before she rises up, snowball in each hand, and opens fire.

He laughs and lets the snowballs drive him back a few steps, before throwing his own. Then he makes a mad dash back toward his own fort to gather more ammunition. No way hes going to let her have the last word in this.
