❅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?

Hahahaha.

Yeah, I'll be waiting.

[Sprinting the entire way to the fountain, Tidus has to stop and stare at the frozen water in interest. He's pretty sure not even Lulu was capable of conjuring up so much ice at once. He takes a few steps closer, gently nudging the ice with his foot.]

[As promised Jack had been waiting. It continued to amuse him and also fill him with a little bit of pride every time someone came up and just gawked at the ice-covered fountain.

He watched quietly for a moment before smirking to himself. Silently, he launched up into the air and drifted down behind Tidus. The other boy's attention was all on the fountain so Jack was pretty sure he'd managed to come behind him unseen. It'd be hilarious if he managed to make the guy jump.]

DON'T BREAK IT!

[He tried to make it sound urgent and panicked. But he was only kidding. Tidus wasn't going to break the ice that easily.]

[Always graceful when caught off guard, Tidus yelled loudly and stumbled on the ice, jumping up and brushing himself off. He spun around. How did Jack--?]

Did I break it?

[Jack laughs. Perfect. He rolls his shoulders, one hand in his pocket and the other resting his staff on his shoulder.]

Nah. I'm just messing with you.

[Jack stepped forward and slammed his staff against the ice. Instead of cracking the ice actually sparkled and seemed to become just a bit thicker if that was possible.]

See?

[Tidus paused, then laughed lightly. Looking to where Jack had stepped, he watched the ice in awe. Even more amazing, Jack treated it so casually, like it was nothing.]

Just like that? Didn't you see it?! It lit up like, like sparkles!

[Well for him it was. He looked down at it and shrugged, though there was still a twinkle in his eyes.]

It does that around me. Part of the magic I guess.

[To demonstrate this he jumped up higher onto the fountain and swept his hand over the ice. It sparkled light blue as the frost coated it and made fern-like patterns on the surface before blending in with the rest of the ice. He looked back down to Tidus.]

See?

[Grinning, he watched the patterns, entranced. He wanted to reach out toward them, but he didn't and instead watched them disappear.]

Magic should be used like this more often.

[He tried to jump too, and succeeded, but didn't take the surface of the ice into account. He slipped.]

[Jack winced. A lot of people had done that today.]

Careful. The fountain's not exactly roomy enough to ice skate on.

[he smirked, about to make some smug comment, before he blinked.]

What's ice skate?

It's...[Wow he's never had to explain something like that before.]

You skate and slide across the ice. Usually humans will wear special shoes with blades on the bottom so they can control the glide. There's not room here but it looks a little like this.

[Jack hopped up onto the fountain and started gliding effortlessly across the ice. Shoes or not he was an expert on the ice, at least, most of the time. He couldn't move much of course because of the structure in the middle of the fountain, but he managed to a least do a little turn and face Tidus again.]

[That sounded dangerous and slippery to him. So, naturally, it sounded like fun. Still, he looked a little confused.]

I never heard of shoes like that. But I bet you could go really fast.

[As he talked, he climbed up to the top, viewing the slide before crouching slightly and trying to slide down it.]

[He's not surprised considering you hadn't heard of ice skating.]

I'll keep an eye out for any and we can try it some other time...that and if we can find a larger body of water because THIS is not going to cut it for ice skating.

[Jack floats behind Tidus and, since he appears to be taking too long, gives him a little extra push.]

We'll find one. If we don't, we could always find a way to make one.

[His thoughts go flying almost as fast as he does.] Whoa--! [Surprise becomes exhiliration, and he's grinning and laughing at the end.]

Oh yeah I'm sure that won't be a problem.

[jack's not known for being able to MAKE things so that might be a bit of sarcasm there. He laughs as you go speeding down the slide though.]

Well, I mean it might not be easy but it'll be worth having water.

[He runs to the top, eager to do that again. This time, he runs part of the way down before he ends up falling and sliding the rest of the way.]

[Jack flies back up. This time he goes down backwards, crashing into a snowbank at the bottom and then springing back up with a laugh.]

[He does a backflip, then eyes the snow. A little unsure, he starts rolling some of the snow into a ball. It's bumpy, and probably going to break at the slightest change of pressure, but he throws it at Jack anyway.]

Catch!

[Jack's hit, but it's not much of an impact since the snow falls apart too easily.]

Hey! I'm usually the one to start snowball fights.

[Oh you have started something Tidus. Jack quickly scoops up some snow and magic seems to occur between his hands as he shapes it into the perfect snowball...and then throws it back at Tidus]

Sorry.

[The apology is as insincere as it sounds. Tidus watches, trying to figure out how Jack does it. When it occurs to him that he should jump out of the way, it's too late. Hit, he tries making another snowball--not as good as Jack's, but slightly better than the previous one--and tosses it at him.]

[And thus an impromptu snowball match begins. Jack's a lot quicker at making them though so Tidus expect to get hit a LOT! Of course, he's also laughing at this point and paying less attention to dodging. After all, it's not like he's going to get cold from all the snow hitting him.

Also, because it's fun, he might even drop a few snowballs for you to use. Free ammo right?

Before too long Jack is standing on top of the fountain with a HUGE snowball in his hands, about the size of a basketball or from Tidus's POV a blitzball. The large snowball is promptly dropped from above and on to his head.]

[Tidus knows he can't win this, especially not against someone who can create snow. That doesn't stop him from gathering and throwing snowballs as fast as he can, quickly forgetting everything about keeping score and winning. He laughes when he's hit, diving in the snow to reach for another snowball, one he couldn't recall making. He doesn't bother to question it, too caught up in the game.

He knows what's going to happen when Jack holds a snowball that could rival a blitzball in his hands, but he still doesn't move, dropping his own snowball. There's snow all in his hair, in his eyes, ears--everywhere. He wipes at his eyes a little, beaming and having too much fun to feel cold. He throws some of the snow in Jack's direction, without making it into more snowballs.]

[Jack pumps his fist into the air when the snowbomb drops.]

Yes!

[However that large gathering of snow didn't seem to deter Tidus at all. Jack's not disappointed though, he'd glad to be fighting someone who is determined to keep the snowball fight going.]

You may have won the battle, Jack! And the war!

[Tidus points to Jack, standing on top of some snow as if it were a hill.]

But now I come back with...more snow! Snow turning against you!

[To prove his point, he throws a little bit more.]

Ha! I laugh at your attempts to conquer me with snow, Tidus!

[Jack snatches up his staff and swings it through the air. A blast of cold air and snow is coming your way Tidus.]
