[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 they could have turned of at a moments notice, and when that happened moving my body was like moving through syrup and cement... And sometimes I couldn't move it at all. I just stood there, staring out at whatever," He knows that Victor is worried. Santo is too because it scares him to think that his powers could be limited like that... maybe even turned off completely. He didn't know what would happen to him then.

"I think she just got lucky with the timing, but... She's apparently from the mainland. You know, the barren wasteland the turtle stopped at when we first arrived."

Victor just sighs. He'll leave that for now, just giving Santo a look.

"Wait, she's from the mainland? As in the place that stops powers from working? And she wasn't eaten by those monsters out there? Santo I think there's more than her being lucky going on here."

Santo forgot that part about the mainland, even though it was the only reason that he couldn't go out there. The realization shows on his face though, and eventually he groans and sinks more into the couch. "So maybe she isn't affected by the power dampeners in the shell...

"That's not the big thing that I wanted to tell you though... Well... Besides the part where I could have died," Just because he kind of likes the times that Vic actually worries about him, and he doesn't think they happen enough. "She also told me that the Emperor is totally the one who brought us here. It wasn't accidental."

Victor gives Santo a 'told you so' look but lets the comment go unsaid.

Victor arches a brow though. "What...like us specifically? She picked the two of us?"

Santo just elbows Victor's side for that look.

"Okay, maybe we're not that special, but she chooses when to take someone, and possibly even what universe too."
alpha_squad_leader: (Sigh)

"Great, just great," Victor sighs, shaking his head. "She's got to be an idiot or just insane. There's no other reason for this kind of stuff."

"She wants heroes," He adds the rest of what he learned from Eva. "I don't know what for, but she's bringing us here to fight something."
alpha_squad_leader: (Sigh)

[personal profile] alpha_squad_leader 2013-03-25 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
"But she does things to make us not trust her and not want to help her," Victor replies. He knew that much already. "It's like she doesn't realize she's pushing some people towards indifference to her cause or worse...joining up with whatever she wants us to fight against her."

"It might not matter if we trust her or not. We can't leave this stupid turtle even if we wanted to... Or, well, I can't," He trails off for a moment. If there was something off on the mainland that could help them, he wanted Vic to go no matter what. "She might know that she has the one thing we all want, though."

"I can't either, remember?" Victor frowns. "Last time my powers turned off, I couldn't even sit up without Nemesis giving me the strongest drugs he had. Breathing hurt. It felt like you were sitting on my chest," he sighs. "We don't know if she does. We can't trust what she tells us, remember?"

"I know, dude. I'm not leaving you alone here anyway, so we're stuck on this turtle until something changes," He sighs as well. "So even if we can't trust her, we should probably play nice for the time being."

Vic nods. "I didn't say we shouldn't play nice. We just need to make sure we're not just sitting around doing nothing. We need to find out what's really going on and if we can get home on our own."
