VIDEO/ACTION ?? ATOP THE FOURTH WALL

WHOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Jack has his staff and his powers back. The mid-air loop-de-loops probably make that pretty obvious. As does the miniature snowstorm following him everywhere even in all this heat. Everything within 50 feet of him seems to have forgotten what season it’s supposed to be, which is just fine by him. That heat was too much for anyone, let alone a winter sprite.

Now that he can ride the wind again, he's using it to take him just about everywhere.

So, who’s up for a snowball fight???]

[He swoops down with a laugh, landing lightly on his feet.]

Yeah, it really is. I'm definitely not complaining.

[Even if he is eyeing the... skeleton? rather oddly. The face is... sort of right, the body totally isn't, but the voice... His eyes light up as it clicks.]

Jack?

I would say in the flesh but...you know.

_{[It doesn't stop him from grinning at his own dumb joke.]}

I like what you've done with the place.

[It's not THAT bad a dumb joke, so Jack grins along.

He looks up, the snowflakes coming a bit harder, a bit larger. The sort of snow that might make a snowday if it went on long enough.]

I could do even better if it wasn't so hot everywhere else.

_{[Jack stoops down to scoop up a handful of the powdery stuff. He's not really a snow expert, but it looks like good snow! The old skeleton starts forming it into a ball.]}

The day's not over yet. We could very well have a rain!

[Of COURSE it's good snow. Jack doesn't waste time with bad snow or even mediocre snow. He's all about quality.

He laughs, though, scooping up a snowball of his own. He cheats a bit, the snow forming a ball nearly as soon as his hand touches it.]

Maybe after I leave.

_{[The snowball is a little lumpy, but it'll do.]}

I'll let you know if it does.

_{[Jack stops wasting time and moves to plop the snowball right on top of the kid's head.]}

Oh, look, there it goes now.

[Except snow can't melt on someone with no body heat. Jack just laughs and shakes his head to get most of it out of his hair before winging his own snowball at the skeleton's chest. He'd have aimed for the face, but that just seemed strange right now.]

Oh, it's on.

_{[Jack lets out a wily cackle and quickly dashes away. The snowball nails him in the back and only gets another laugh out of him. He sweeps his long arms down at the snow to pull up untidy gobs of snow to form return ammo.]

[It's kind of hard to make snowballs with skeleton hands.]}

Let's see what you can do, Jack Frost!

[It is so on.

A sweep of his staff makes a handy snow fort to hide behind before he plants it in a newly formed drift next to him and starts making his own snowballs. He's doing it the oldfashioned way, even, just to give Jack a fighting chance.

It's still a lot easier to do with proper hands, though. He pops up to throw the first one as hard as he can. He doubts much he could do would damage Jack, anyway.]

_{[While Jack doesn't really have time to build himself a wall to hunker behind, he does find a good tree. He's skinny enough it works. After forming his own snow balls, he leans around the tree in time to get beaned in the face.]

[The snow sticks in one eye socket and his nasal cavity. Half blinded, he lobs his own snowball.]}

[Which also hits because Jack is busy staring. Maybe he was wrong about the damage thing? Or maybe that just looks really weird and it's fine.]

You, uh... you okay?

_{[Jack snorts and squints to dislodge the snow from his face.]}

Never better!

_{[With that, tosses another awkwardly-shaped snowball at Jack and dashes behind the next nearest tree.]}
