[OPEN EVENT] Weekend Winter Wonderland

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!"

Finnick glances at Santo and despite the topic, he shrugs. He hadn't really told anyone prior to the video he made for all of Panem to see. Some people knew. Now it's just awkward to talk about. "Victors are treated as commodities. The public gets their heroes, the president got someone he could sell. If they were good looking enough. Or desperate enough to keep the people they loved alive."

Santo is, for once, quiet for more than a minute, but not for lack of trying. He opens his mouth to start to talk, but fails each time before he just groans in frustration. Finnick was his friend, and everything about the place he came from just pissed him off and made him determined not to let him go back there.

Then he realizes something else that bothers him. He'd been flirting and joking around with Finnick for weeks, and Finnick was doing the same back. He didn't mean anything by it really, but now he's worried that he's been making him uncomfortable this whole time. "Look, you know that I'm just joking around with you, right? I don't want or expect that from you." He sighs. "It won't hurt my feelings if you tell me to knock it off. You're my bro."

Finnick's eyebrows raise high on his forehead as he stares at Santo, who is fumbling around with his apology. He's quiet for a second, trying to figure out if this is real life. Of all the things he's expected of people finding out about him, this is the most hilarious one. So he laughs, doubling over with his hands on his knees.

"Santo, if I was at all worried about that, I wouldn't be who I am. Flirting is just the way I am," he explains carefully through chuckles. "I don't expect anything from anyone, and I'm rarely ever serious about what I say. So now you know."

Okay... Of all the things that he was expecting to happen now, this was definitely not one of them. He just stares as Finnick doubles over laughing, completely dumbstruck. So much for whatever moment he was expecting, and now he just feels embarrassed for getting all sappy for a moment.

"Okay, good," He clears his throat and lightly punches Finnick's shoulder, laughing a little to try to play off how dumb he must seem now... More than usual even. "So you don't care that I say things about making out with you and junk?"

It's okay, Santo. Finnick just isn't good at sappy with people most of the time, unless he is collapsing in on himself. It's easier to talk about it, in a way. Like a flood gates that's been opened. He won't go into details, and he won't bring it up often, but it's nice to say.

So he just grins at his rock friend. "I don't care about that at all. I wouldn't joke around if I thought that it would bother me. It's just who I am."
