[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!"

'S'matter Damo? Can't take it?' he teases, and steers them away from a dangerous one, but goes over another harmless bump. 'Woohoo!'

"Don't patronize me, Rayner!!!"

But he also lets out a small, involuntary whoop at that bump. Almost too quiet for Kyle to hear.

They slide to a stop finally and Kyle's nearly out of breath. That was fun. That was actually fun.

'Go again?'

Damian dusts himself up, then squints up the hill.

"I suppose so."

No argument means he's nearly enthusiastic about it, Kyle, don't mind his wording.

He's already making his way up the hill, pulling the sled behind him. 'Make sure you get a good look at a new way down! We're trying something different this time.'

"Yes, we are."

Damian may be shorter, but that doesn't make him slower. Even if it takes more effort, in the snow.

When he reaches the top, he stands proudly for a moment, arms akimbo, before he looks at Damian, grinning wickedly.

'So, what's the new route?'
demon_brat: (Demon smirk (Dami))

[personal profile] demon_brat 2013-04-08 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
Just for a moment, there's a smirk back up at Kyle. JUST for a moment. Then he focuses back down the slope, putting together the memory of the slide down and what he can see and what he knows of physics...

"That way... then there, then..." He points it out. It's... a more complicated route, with turns to slow make it longer and a straight, fast run at the end. Because, sometimes, he is a kid.

[personal profile] imaginate 2013-04-08 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
Don't think he didn't see that, kiddo. Or the suggestion of a longer route. But hey, he can be discrete and not mention it.

He gets into position and beckons Damian to join him on the sled. 'When you're ready, you can kick us off.'

... you are becoming wise in the way of the Damian Wayne, not mentioning it is likely to make it last longer.

">Tt.< Of course."

Not quite that, because - strong as Damian is, and as much of a punch he can put in a hit, giving momentum to a sled with an adult man in it is ... well. Something else. But he manages is, digging his heels hard and pushing with all he can. Hopping on, after, is less of a problem.
imaginate: ([lantern] :D)

He nods approvingly, it's a valiant effort, and while the route is slower initially, it's no less enjoyable. He whoops and yells at the turns (less frequent so than before but no less enthusiastic) and when they finally get to the final fast run he grins and pushes forward, letting the wind whip through his hair.

After only a moment's consideration, Damian echoes the forward leaning to increase the speed and aerodynamics, pressing against the lantern's back, the contrast between warmth and the chill of the rushing wind new and not unpleasant.

And, that close, Kyle can probably feel the small inaudible sigh that Damian gives when the rush ends and the sled starts to slow down.

The sled slides to a stop. He says absolutely nothing, and doesn't get off. It's not entirely a comfortable silence. Kyle isn't quite sure what to do, now.

Quietly, he asks, 'Should we go again? Different hill?'
demon_brat: (Little Wayne (Dami))

[personal profile] demon_brat 2013-04-09 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Damian leans back when the sled stops, then cants his head at the man's back with the silence.

"Why shouldn't we?"

It's not boring... yet.

'All right. Race you!'

Not that he's very fast, dragging a sled behind him, but it's the principle of the thing.
