[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!"

"It is very beautifully done," Henry said, "quite beautifully. I think I have not seen such snows since my childhood. Certainly not in London, where snow is merely a different form of—I beg your pardon—filth."

"There is no great gain without some loss," Henry said. "But that is perhaps beside the point; mostly I wished to compliment you on your work. Are the ice sculptures your doing as well?"
epigrammatical: (anybody can be good in the country)

"The reproduction of Nelson's Column was quite well done," Henry said with a smile. I believe I recognised some Parisian sights as well." He blinked, finding Jack a little more clear in his vision now. "It is curious," he added. "I find I can see you rather more now than I could on my first arrival. Is it an effect of the change in the environment?"

Henry chuckled. "I have seen and experienced so many things here that would have been the stuff of legend or fever-dreams in London that I suppose I should find myself believing in the Devil himself before very long."
epigrammatical: (you are a wonderful creation)

"I have no doubt that you would, but let us hope that this eventuality never comes pass, for I have no doubt that many of us would have much for which to answer," Henry said. Not that he took the prospect of the Devil very seriously. "In any event—allow me to congratulate you on the work that you have done here. I am sure there is more that requires your attention?"
