revenance_comms | ❅2nd Snow Day❅

[The video moves a lot because apparently Jack gave his communicator to Snowball to use. She can only fly so steady clutching the communicator so hope no one gets motion sick. Jack is perched on top of...something, since you can see that he's above ground level but the camera isn't pointed in a way to let you see WHAT he's standing on. He's grinning.]

No one's going to be upset that the fountain is frozen, right? It was sort of unavoidable since I was fighting those Nightmares but, uh, it's not like it's in my power to unfreeze the thing.

[Snowball flies back a bit and we now see Jack is perched on top of the large fountain in the Fountain Plaza near the Fourth District. The whole thing is iced over and frozen, including the streams that shoot up into the fountain from the sides. Jack surveys the scene and then shrugs. Maybe he went a bit over board but it's too late now.]

Oh well, it'll make for a fun slide. Who's game?

[Jack hops over to one of the frozen spouts and slides down on his bare feet with ease, hopping off at the end with a little flourish of his staff. He looks back up to Snowball who is still filming all of this.]

You coming or what?

Hah! Yes, YES! that's it!

You've gotta throw it harder if you really want it to splatter. Come on.

[He scoops up more snow and with a laugh throws it at Xion like a pro.]

Like this!

[He can tell a snowball fight is just beginning to blossom and he is growing giddy with anticipation of it.]

[His happiness is so catching Xion grins.]

Okay, but you asked for it.

[She quickly makes a few more snowballs and begins to pelt him with them.]

[He hasn't gotten to actually be in a snowball fight like this before. Sure he starts them all the time and can PRETEND like he's involved, but it's different.

Jack's laughing and still managing to dodge a few...though more hit him than not. Xion has good aim. Jack swings his staff and the snowballs just seem to appear on the ground now. He doesn't even care if he's helping to arm Xion. Jack scoops up a few with his free hand and spins on the tip of his toe, hurling several back in Xion's direction.]

[Xion's never been in a snowball fight before, or her aim might be better. As it is, her precision isn't that bad thanks to having to aim all those spells.

It's fun, though, throwing snowballs and trying to dodge them, but not really caring if she gets hit because it doesn't hurt and it's not like they're really fighting. The sudden extra ammo would be a surprise if she hadn't already known what he can do with ice. As it is, she just takes it in stride and tries to give back as good as she gets. Finally, breathless with laughter, she stops to take a break.]

[Jack loses count of how many snowballs hit or miss or are even made. He's having WAY too much fun and laughing just about as much as Xion.

When the battle is finally over, or at least paused, Jack leans against the fountain to support himself from falling over with laughing.]

Now that was fun. You're a fast learner.

[It's at least a truce, or a cease fire. Xion needs to catch her breath. Still, she's smiling.]

It was, but it's not that difficult.

True. But difficult things usually aren't as fun either.

[He's smiling now and straightens up.]

I'll have to show you how to build a snow fort next. That'll REALLY make things interesting.

Learning how to do them can be.

[She'd liked that feeling when she managed to do something that had been a challenge. Sure, getting there wasn't always easy or fun, but it was worth it.]

You can make a fort out of snow?

Edited 2013-01-31 03:56 (UTC)

[He considered that for a moment but, nah, he'd much rather things be easy.]

Yeah! It's not that much different than making anything else with snow, just a matter of packing it together and shaping it how you want. Of course to make a fort you need a LOT of snow.

[He holds his hands up as if to demonstrate just how MUCH snow.]

I mean, if you don't have enough you could just end up with a wall or two.

[To each their own. He'd get along with Demyx in that respect.]

I see. But wouldn't it be better if some of the others could come, too?

[The snowball fight had been fun, but a snow fort seemed to be something that would be better with more people. Xion can think of two others she'd like to make one with, though neither of them are here and one of them would complain about the cold.]

Hmmm, yeah you're right there.

[He kicks at the snow in a bored manner.]

These kinds of things are always fun with more people. I'm just not used to having to invite people.

[Usually he just got to watch.]

[Participating is so much more fun than watching.]

They usually start them by themselves?

Well, sometimes I'd have to give them a little encouragement. But they never realized it was me...so yeah, I guess you could say that.

They never realized it was you?

[That's odd. Then Xion remembers that he'd been surprised everyone here could see him.]

That's what happens when no one believes in you and you're invisible to all mortals. Still, I tried not to think about it and when it came to snowball fights it was easy to get lost among the kids and feel like I was a part of their group.

[Give Xion a second to process that, Jack.]

People have to believe in you to be able to see you?

[So that's why he'd wondered if anybody could see him. She didn't know if that was worse or better than being forgotten.]

Yeah. [He shrugs and adds.] I haven't quite figured out why that's not the case here. I guess it has something to do with it being a dream world.

Maybe...That's the only thing I can think of.

[Still, it seems kind of sad.]

Still, I'm going to take every advantage from it that I can.

Dreams help kids believe in the Guardians...maybe this will help them believe in me more too.

[This sounds like a good plan]

Good luck.
