[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!"

Aahh! [He tosses his own two snowballs and seeing Arthur coming at him, Kyle runs away - no, he strategically retreats - through the drifts, looking for shelter, but also intending to make Arthur follow.] Snow may be water, but you're in enemy territory now!
relentlesstide: (almost a smirk)

[personal profile] relentlesstide 2013-03-13 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[And follow him he does, because Arthur never turns down a challenge, giving chase through the snow fairly easily. He manages to duck one snowball, but the other hits him square in the chest... not that it slows him down any. He leans down to scoop up another handful of snow and packs it, takes aim, throws.] You'll freeze long before I get tired.
imaginate: ([lantern] see the other guy)

[personal profile] imaginate 2013-03-13 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
You'll get tired long before me! [A playful jab. Kyle's weathered hours of battle in space.

Arthur's aim is true, and Kyle stifles the squeak of surprise when it hits, choosing instead to throw a quick succession of smaller snowballs that will burst into spray upon contact.]
relentlesstide: (let's fuck shit up)

[personal profile] relentlesstide 2013-03-16 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't be so sure! [Let's be real all the JLers have some pretty ridiculous endurance. They could be at this for hours if they wanted to. He actually laughs a little, pushing right through the barrage and taking the projectiles head on; he's going to try and push you into a snowdrift, Kyle. The King of Atlantis plays dirty.]
imaginate: ([ion] woohoo)

[personal profile] imaginate 2013-03-16 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Completely undeterred by the fact that his attacks are having little to no effect, Kyle doesn't back down, he keeps throwing the snowballs as Arthur keeps coming, and will make no attempt to resist being tackled, because it's fun, and his friend is having fun. What more could he ask for?

As Kyle falls into the snowdrift, he resorts to directly flicking snow at Arthur's face and torso with his hands, not particularly caring if they're aimed accurately or not]
Cheater! No powers!
relentlesstide: (talking)

[personal profile] relentlesstide 2013-03-19 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
[He probably wouldn't do this at all with the others. Kyle's the one he's had the most contact with out of the League members here, and hell, he does like him, not that he really cares to admit it out loud. This isn't so bad. He might regret completely ruining his image later, but...

Arthur's laughing a little as he blinks snow out of his eyes, swiping a handful at Kyle in retaliation.]
These aren't my powers, quit being a sore loser.
imaginate: ([ion] teasing)

[personal profile] imaginate 2013-03-19 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Kyle attempts to shield himself (quite uselessly) from Arthur's snowballs, and tosses back a few of his own, much more accurately aimed.] Who's losing?

[He uses the time to wriggle free and dash behind a snow fort a few metres away.] I'm just getting started!

[personal profile] apologiesmyking 2013-03-19 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[And this would be the point that Kaldur would greatly question how he managed ot come upon this particular situation. He's been observing the various activities going on in the snow for some time now, since the end of his team's "training session," but he certainly did not expect to find his--Aquaman battling like a youth in the snow with someone else.]

...King Orin? [He might be watching in shock and fascination and didn't even notice his own slip.]
relentlesstide: (mild smirk)

[personal profile] relentlesstide 2013-03-19 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Arthur just snorts as Kyle manages to get free and take shelter behind one of the snow forts set up around the field. At this point he's pretty wet, half covered in snow because half the time he doesn't even bother to try and dodge.] Yeah, go ahead and run! Looks like losing to me.

[No one's called him King Orin in a while, but he still looks up at the name, and waves him over.] Kaldur, come here, have you met Kyle?
apologiesmyking: (036)

[personal profile] apologiesmyking 2013-03-19 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Kaldur feels a bit caught out at being called on like that--and truly should apologize for calling him Orin, but if Arthur doesn't say anything about it, then Kaldur will let it alone. He has the urge to salute, but doesn't. This is still taking some getting used to.]

Ah--no, I have not yet had the honor. [He comes forward and brings a hand up to his chest in sincere greeting.] Hello, I am Kaldur'ahm. It is good to finally meet you, I have heard of you from my team.
imaginate: ([kyle] hey there)

[personal profile] imaginate 2013-03-19 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Kyle waves from his fort.] Hey! GL number four, at your service. Well, I will be, after I cream Arthur.

[And he is tossing a snowball idly in his hand, shooting a wicked grin at Arthur.]
relentlesstide: (let's fuck shit up)

[personal profile] relentlesstide 2013-03-23 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
Spoken with the confidence of a fool. You Lanterns. [Arthur retorts with a little smirk, rolling another large snowball himself, though he doesn't throw it quite yet.]

Would you like to help me 'cream' a Green Lantern, Kaldur? [It's only polite to invite him to join in, right? HE does not know how to handle a kid this formal, geez.]
apologiesmyking: (090)

[personal profile] apologiesmyking 2013-03-24 10:55 am (UTC)(link)
[It is a question he certainly didn't expect as he stares in confusion. Seeing Arthur--the near spitting image of his king--enjoy himself like a child was confusing enough. But being asked to take part? How does one react to such a situation?]

It is a pleasure to meet you...Kyle, [couldn't he have gotten a more formal title to go along with that?], but I do not believe that two against one is a fair challenge, my--ah, sir.
imaginate: ([lantern] doves)

[personal profile] imaginate 2013-03-24 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Please. I could flatten an army with my eyes closed; two Atlanteans aren't even a challenge. [The taunt is all friendly.

Kyle nods to Arthur.]
Fifteen hits determine the winner?
relentlesstide: (almost a smirk)

[personal profile] relentlesstide 2013-04-02 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
[He thumbs towards Kyle, good-naturedly. (Yeah, be glad you don't have to see him rough-housing with Garth, Kaldur. They slug each other out of love.)] I think he's insulting our honor as Atlanteans. We'll call it a training exercise if you want.

[He nods back at Kyle.] Fair terms.
apologiesmyking: (098)

[personal profile] apologiesmyking 2013-04-12 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
I do not... [He feels like he's being pulled in by a whirlpool with how quickly this is going. Would it be rude to turn them down? But is it not overstepping his bounds when they've only just met? He is not sure. They appear to be having a great deal of fun.]

...I would gladly prove that Atlanteans should not be underestimated.
imaginate: ([lantern] omg cream cheese)

[personal profile] imaginate 2013-04-12 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[And he readies himself for battle, hiding behind the fort. A few stray snowballs will come sailing over just to distract Arthur and Kaldur. The real attack has yet to come.]
