[OPEN EVENT] Weekend Winter Wonderland

Characters: All?
Date: March 8th-11th

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!"

Her mother still sees affection as a weakness. That was where she couldn't relate to mortals, for all her wisdom. Annabeth's a little more smiley and happy today in the snow, which probably makes it a little easier to be a little more open in her fondness, on top of coming to terms with it.

At his response, she shrugs. "It'd make me notice it faster." Demigod ADHD at its finest. Then she sort of nods, but raises an eyebrow. "Taught other things or not, you can still learn snow day participation. Pretty sure it's never too late for that here."

Because she's seen plenty of adults letting loose, okay.

... happily, Athena and Talia al Ghul would very much not get along. Or else the multiverse would be in real trouble.

">Tt.< I am positive you'd find that less natural after the first few times you are doused with fear toxin. Or the Joker's brew."

It's more a remark than a retort, though. He tilts his head up at her.

"What do you suggest?"

She makes a thoughtful noise. "Hard to say, actually. My reflexes are better with chaos around me, in combat at least."

There's half a grin on her face. "Actually going down the hill on a sled?"

"I was thinking more the recognition of a situation between a fight," he points down to a spot where children are throwing snowballs at each other, something he is not interested in, "and combat. Easier with perspective."

He crosses his arms, looking up at her with his head cocked to the side, then shrugs.

"Why not?"

She nods, because she gets where he's coming from at least. It just doesn't necessarily work that way for her. "Still depends on what else is going on around me, if I'm too far away."

Her face becomes something of surprise. She... wasn't really expecting that. "Really?"
