[OPEN EVENT] Weekend Winter Wonderland

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

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!"

Lucky Rikki doesn't scare easy. She laughs, tilting her head at Astrid. "I think you're probably right. I mean, unless we set everyone up with laser tag or something, but this is a lot simpler."

She pauses, and then asks, "Are you like a mutant or something? I mean with the calculations and all... is that some kind of superpower?"

"Snowball fights have shrapnel and the possibility of collateral damage and friendly fire in a way that laser tag does not. It is strangely more realistic than a game using guns." Astrid ponders this for a moment. "Paintball is probably the most accurate, as far as war games go, but it is not generally something that children partake in."

She looks at Rikki and blinks a few times. "...No."

There's no sense of her having been insulted, but that's also all she's saying unless Rikki asks more.
