[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!"

[ DEAN THAT ISN'T EVEN---WHAT. ]

Can't do much if you don't make any sense! [ And Gavroche is off and off and--oh, shit, Dean's actually caught him. The little gamin tries to twist and turn but to no avail and a stream of rather ugly words for a 12 year old rings out, loud among the snow forts. ]

Hah! [SUCCESS. Dean's carried all manner of squirmy things in his life, so an undersized 12 year old isn't exactly a great and terrible threat. He hauls Gavroche over to a somewhat intimidating snowdrift and holds him over it.] Any last words before I dunk you?

I live and die for France! And-- [ What was that word Enjolras so enjoyed? ] --and for Patria!

[ In his struggling, though, something comes loose--he'd hidden it in the fold of his too-big pants, but a flintlock pistol tumbles out due to his angle upside down. His reflexes are damn quick and he manages to catch it, but not before giving a little squeal and continuing to struggle. ] You'll never take me alive!

This is a snowball fight, not a-- [Revolution.

Revolution is what he was going to say, but then the flintlock fell loose and okay, Dean is a little more focused on that than anything else. That is an oldschool piece of weaponry that can still go off accidentally. Which Dean knows from somewhat painful experience.]


Not if you've got one of those in your shorts, I won't!

[He puts Gavroche into the snowdrift more gently than he planned--albeit still headfirst.] Didn't anybody ever teach you not to bring a gun to a snowball fight?

[ Gavroche is placed down and he immediately picks it up, shaking his head. ] S'nuffin, look. [ He picks it up, showing the other more closely--there's no firing mechanism. ] Got me a real one, but I gave it up 'fore I came here. [ He grins, proud, and then squats down again to grab a handful of snow. ]
