[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!"

He leans his forehead lightly against hers and just holds her for the moment, not caring if anyone is watching them out here on the ice. Some moments he's just stricken by a lot of things - how lucky he is that he isn't alone again, how terribly unlucky his entire family has been... "There are so many things I would change if I could." Like maybe not letting the octopus babysit...

"You don't have to apologize for that. I fell apart, too."

Mera lets go of Arthur and reaches up to cup his face instead, closing her eyes. "There are many things I would change as well but you have never been one of them." Even when she was angry at him, when she was blaming their every misfortune on him she wouldn't change him or a moment of the time they spent together.

"Let's agree that we both could have handled things much better, yes?"

He just leans down to press the lightest of kisses against her lips, closing one hand over hers on the side of his face. "I don't regret loving you either. And I don't regret our family." Even if losing them was the worst pain he could imagine, he doesn't regret any of the time he spent with any of them.

"Maybe we could have. But what's done is done."

There's nothing to regret there, as far as Mera's concerned. Though at home it's just the two of them, it's still nice. She could never regret marrying Arthur, having a child with him, watching Garth grow up, seeing Garth marry and have a child of his own....she wouldn't change any of it. There's plenty she would change about her life but none of that is it.

"I love you with all my heart, Arthur. I always will."
relentlesstide: ([mera] i love you)

He'd much rather have them all back, but... they've seen what happens when the dead return. With the exception of himself... it isn't pleasant. He wouldn't wish his experiences on any of them, even if he wishes they'd never died in the first place. But having Mera makes things easier. He isn't alone. They have Lorena and Jackson, and here they have Kaldur. Things could be worse.

"I love you, too. You've always been my world, even if I have had trouble showing it."
