[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's chin lifts and a smile settles on his lips. "I like to leave things open for interpretation."

"Aren't we feeling clever?" Toby gives Dorian a light sideways kick as he passes him. "All right then, Michelangelo, what wil be your first subject?"

Dorian easily side-steps the assault. "Isn't it your job as teacher to guide me?"

Toby grins at the side-stepping and takes it as an invitation to get closer to Dorian and sling an arm over his shoulder. "Why not be a self-taught prodigy? A self-taught century plus some prodigy, but still."
depicted: (you live in a time of decay)

It is hardly Dorian's habit to shake off any contact from the creature he pursued for so long. "All right, you've had your fun, but we both know how long it took me to pick up painting."

"I'm not nearly as good with sculpting either. Hey, you might end up being better than me by the end."

"You mean you'd really be willing to let me get better at it than you." If Dorian is sceptical, it is only out of familiar with Toby's love of the upper hand.

"Stranger things have happened. Do you think I should try teaching Ali, too? See which of you can get better than me first?"

Trapped in proximity to Toby, it's easy to give him a gentle elbowing. "You can clean the clay out of its fabric."

"I am always willing to sacrifice for great art."

"I appreciate that," Dorian says, smiling (because obviously by 'great art,' Toby means 'Dorian Gray'), "but I'd appreciate it even more if I didn't know you made sacrifices for mediocre art, too."
