[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!"

When he didn't take the bait, she signed in very visible disappointment. Oh, well. It could've been fun while it lasted, had there been anything to go on, but it looked like this route was a dead in.

"Nothing." She decided to switch tactics. "So, aside from the marbles and everything, what were you really looking for before? Because if you're aiming for a tour of the Turtle, that really wasn't the best way to go about it."

Bunny's eyes narrow slightly as the girl looks disappointed, and he's definitely more than just a little bit lost. He didn't get what she was hinting at, though he's already assuming that he has Jack to blame for it. "Tooth and I aren't a thing, sheila, if that's what you're getting at."

"I never said you were," she replied back with all the innocent tone of somebody who had originally been implying just that. "In fact, I'm pretty sure we'd moved on from that topic already. You're the one who keeps bringing it up."

"I don't think so," He crosses his arms over his chest and huffs a little, in something that wasn't exactly a mature expression. "More like you tried to change the subject unsuccessfully."

"It wouldn't've been unsuccessful if you would just let it go, already."

Gosh, Bunny. One would think you wanted to keep talking about Tooth.

[personal profile] springsforward 2013-03-15 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
He's a rabbit, Zatanna, he sometimes can't help getting a bit anxious and hung up on certain things. Plus, why not have him dig his grave just a little deeper here?

"I'll let it go once I know why Jack, obviously, is going around implying it, and what he told you. It's not like I give her any special treatment over the others, I don't think?" And now he's trying to think back. "No, course not."

And there's a reason why she and Jack Frost ended up becoming inevitable best friends. This is that very reason.

"Are you sure about that? Because you don't sound so sure. You know, one of the first steps to solving your problem is admitting you have a problem." She managed to impress even herself with the restraint it took to keep her voice sounding (mostly) serious. "Besides, girls like a little mystery. It's part of the fun."

[personal profile] springsforward 2013-03-15 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
If he thought one was bad, now he's getting it in stereo. For the moment though, Zatanna might just very well be outdoing his ol' frienemy.

"I don't have a problem," Seriously, he's not sick or anything. "And even if I did have a thing with Tooth, which I'm not saying I do, that wouldn't qualify as a problem either. Besides, she's the Tooth Fairy, and I'm the Easter Bunny. We have responsibilities," Ain't nobody got time for that. He really isn't good at defending himself from the surprise attack of a kid that knows more about him than he does about her.

Denial is totally a problem, Bunny.

"But Jack told me that even Guardians were allowed to have families of their own. There's nothing about that in the rulebook." Even if there was, screw the rules. "He said something about it helping to make you feel a little more...I don't know...normal, I guess."

[personal profile] springsforward 2013-03-15 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
No, Zatanna. It's a river in Egypt.

"Well... Yeah, it's not against the rules or anything, but..." He rubs the back of his neck. He's still not sure why he's even entertaining this. "We are normal, and Tooth works every night of the year," Or basically all the time.

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2013-03-15 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
That too.

"Hey, those were his words, not mine. Besides, normal people can have a full-time job and a relationship. If they really want to."

"Her full-time job is full-time, and why am I even talking about this with you?" Yeah, that finally clicked for him, and he also just realized something else. "Who are you again, anyway?"

"Zatanna." She casually introduced herself before going right back to the topic at-hand: "I don't know. Why are you still telling me all about this working girl of yours?"

[personal profile] springsforward 2013-03-18 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
He sputters in response to the question, obviously uncomfortable with it and had already forfeited the upper hand here. "You're the one who started it!"

Oh, come on, Bunny. She's not five. That argument isn't going to work.

"Are we really going to get into this again? Because, much as I'd love to talk in circles with the Easter Bunny about his love life, I was sort of hoping to enjoy my snow day. We don't really get many of these on the turtle, I've heard."
