[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!"

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?"

"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."

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."

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."
