[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!"

Clark, do you know who you're dealing with? Arthur was raised in extreme isolation from human society by a father fearful that either land or sea would come for him, then he fucked off to the ocean for the rest of his childhood and adolescence. Where he did things like live with a pod of dolphins. There is a rather large cultural divide here.

"I ought to push you into a snowbank." You're enjoying this a little too much. But he rolls his eyes and moves onto the sled. "I suppose."

There is no 'too much' when it comes to having fun as far as Clark is concerned. He does know when it's time to get serious but he knows how important it is in their line of job to be able to unwind.

"There goes nothing" He mutters with a half-laugh as he pushes the sled down before he jumps behind the king.
relentlesstide: (what?)

It's a common misconception, that Arthur doesn't know how to enjoy himself. It just isn't a side of him that most people see, outside his family. He opens his mouth to say something to the overeager alien when he's suddenly pushed down the hill, and grips the sled to keep from tumbling off. The speed is child's play, honestly, but Clark caught him off-guard. "Kent!"

Clark gets that, he gets that a person can have different sides to show to different people probably better than most people. And it'd be no surprise to know Arthur was a different person when he was with his family. But that doesn't stop him from laughing hard as he speeds up the sled a little more.

"Come on, you can't really tell me this isn't at least a little fun to you."
relentlesstide: (talking)

"Oh it's entertaining," he remarks, a little louder to be heard over the crunch of snow and ice as the sled goes barreling down. "But not as entertaining as it will be when I shove you into a snowdrift!" He might not be laughing out loud just yet, but there is a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. It's progress, Clark.
andaway: (This is a battle song)

[personal profile] andaway 2013-03-26 01:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Clark wasn't expecting him to break out laughing at this but if he gets him to have a little fun it will be worth it.

"Will you, now?" He laughs, making the sled move from side so side and making the snow move to either side. "I'd like to see you try, your majesty."
relentlesstide: (lol)

[personal profile] relentlesstide 2013-04-02 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
"You're an overgrown child. And an arrogant one besides." Well, there is a good reason for that, he IS Superman, but still. Arthur just grins slightly and scoops up a handful of snow, reaching back to shove it into Clark's face.
andaway: (Now I'm a man)

[personal profile] andaway 2013-04-03 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
It hits Clark fully in the face and he even swallows a bit but he doesn't seem to mind. If anything he laughs even harder at it. The sled stumbles a bit a bit before gently falling to the side, throwing the two grown men to the snow.

"Tell me that wasn't fun."
relentlesstide: (soft smile)

The sled tosses them both off and Arthur sprawls in the snow, unbothered by the cold, chuckling a little despite himself. "It was a colossal waste of time." He just giving Clark a hard time now, though.
andaway: (Now I'm a man)

[personal profile] andaway 2013-04-10 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
And Clark is having none of it. "I'm pretty sure I heard a chuckle."
relentlesstide: (talking)

[personal profile] relentlesstide 2013-04-14 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
He just swipes some more snow at him. "I'll toss you off the side of this thing. Watch me."
