[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!"

Dorian makes a half-grimace. "Considering how little we know about them, and how little we know of what they know of us, it's definitely to our advantage to stay off the radar." Particularly, Dorian thinks, if the Emperor does in fact have his picture. Ever since Toby suggested the possibility, it has haunted him.

She nods, and skates beside him in silence for a moment. She glances at him sidelong, a look on her face at once guilty and bright.

"This is going to sound quite terrible of me," she murmurs, "but I have to confess, I'm rather more excited about this than perhaps is entirely appropriate."
depicted: (you've such a fetching smile)

Dorian's expression has no sign of guilt. "And yet I've got this sense that you don't feel terrible about it."
una_persson: (wide eyes)

She shakes her head, smiling. "Not really, no. Some people are designed by nature for a life of untroubled peace or country solitude. I'm not. I'm a little too indecently glad to know that I won't be bored while I'm stuck here."

"Oh, where's the fun in being decent?" With a twist of the foot, he skates to a stop at the edge of the ring.
una_persson: (laugh)

"I'm so glad you understand me." She stops as well, with a bit of a flourish, grinning at him. "I like you, Mr Gray. Charming and fascinating and full of interesting information too. In the event I choose to follow up on some of these things you've told me, I can only guess you'd like to know?"

Accustomed to compliments, he doesn't affect modesty. "I'd very much like to know. Particularly if it means an adventure with someone so like-minded."

"Oh good. It's not safe to go alone, after all."

She gestured in the vague direction of the sector where she lived. "I live in the Wood sector, by the by, though I tend to get around all sorts of places. Where do you reside?"
depicted: (this will never end 'cause I want more)

"Fire sector," (there is no need to point) "which I confess is by far my favourite. I've started to warm up to the Wood Sector lately."

Oh, wait. He grimaces. "No pun intended."
una_persson: (laugh)

[personal profile] una_persson 2013-03-28 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
She laughed. "I wasn't going to call attention to it, but now that you mention it ... But no, the Fire sector is lovely too. Even when there's not snow and ice about. I don't know what your days are like, but if you could find space for me in them, I should be delighted."
depicted: (a life so easy it intrigued me)

Dorian is happy to take the open invitation and shows as much. "My days aren't very interesting, but perhaps my early evenings would do?"

She waves her hand gracefully in a welcoming gesture. "I am at your disposal, then, Mr Gray."
