[OPEN EVENT] Weekend Winter Wonderland

Characters: All?
Date: March 8th-11th

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!"

"I never even heard of magic until I came to Earth. I think I have a pretty good grasp of mystery," she pointed out amiably. She loved a good mystery, anything that required investigation really. That was something she had inherited.

"That must be so lonely though, if most people can't see you."
notdreaming: smile, stare, neutral, affectionate (friendly smile)

"That's great." She grins. She's found her own sort of happiness here too. Namely in that people aren't constantly trying to kill her.

"I know we've been brought here against our will, but it's really not that bad, is it?"
notdreaming: stare, neutral, sad (innocent eyes)

"Really?" Kara wouldn't go that far. There were plenty of things that happened to her on Krypton that she would consider the best. Keeliai was probably the best thing to happen to her since Krypton exploded, but that was a low hurdle.

"It's not that weird, it's just..." Kind of sad, if she was honest. Keeliai was fine, but it wasn't wonderful.

"You don't have any nice memories of home?"
notdreaming: stare, neutral, sad (friendship!)

"The important think is that you're happy," she supplied helpfully. She tried not to sound like she was backtracking. It was hard to realize that she had a good life back home, and that all of that had been so thoroughly destroyed that she was grateful for every little bit of happiness that came along. It was possible Jack felt the same way.
