[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!"

But, Annabeth, that would be cheating.

[Not like that would stop her or anything, of course.]

[She waves her hand, brushing off the not-quite-concern.] All's fair in Capture the Flag.

Oh. Well, in that case...

[Another wave of the hand. The Flagpole increases to 20 feet, and the snow around it compacts into smooth, solid ice. Making it incredibly slippery. Nearly impossible to climb.]

[She's grinning as it goes up higher. There's only Percy or Leo she thinks could do something about it, beyond Zatanna herself.]

[Annabeth applauds.]
I want you on my team, just saying.

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2013-03-14 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
And let me guess, you're the kind of girl that always gets what she wants, right?

[This is not a bad thing.]

[personal profile] sophos 2013-03-15 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
[She shrugs, with a slight air of nonchalance.] Most of the time.

You've gotta share your secret sometime.

[As if Zatanna doesn't have similar amount of success on her own.]

[personal profile] sophos 2013-03-18 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[She smirks a little.] Cleverness.
backwordscompatible: (smoulder)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2013-03-19 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
And here I was hoping you were going to say magic.

[But she could applaud cleverness too.]

[personal profile] sophos 2013-03-19 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[A short laugh.] I don't have any of that, remember?
backwordscompatible: (THIS much)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2013-03-19 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, you could be holding out on me.

[/joking]

Speaking of, I'm gonna go see how many recruits I can gather. If we actually try, we might be able to make this thing happen by sunset.

The only magic I have is my brain.

[She grins, then nods.] You probably know more people than I do. I can try hunting down some flags.
backwordscompatible: (Hi there!)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2013-03-19 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
But you've been here longer.

[Though she's already compiling a list in her head of people to find. Assuming they could be found...silly ninja sort-of boyfriends]

[personal profile] sophos 2013-03-19 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[She sort of awkwardly pauses.] Social butterfly has never exactly been a phrase used in my direction.

[though now she's wondering if any of the people she knows would participate.]

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2013-03-19 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[She opens her mouth to comment...and closes it quickly.]

[Oops. Uh...awkward.]

[...yeah, she'll just...start heading out now...]


Players. Friends. Right. Uh...meet back here in an hour?

[She grins, no harm no foul. She's not bothered by any of it.]

Works for me.
