At the World's End: Hot and Cold Clash! The Holiday Mixup Special

Who: Everyone [OPEN]
Where: Every District | 13th Hour
Summary: Pyro Jacks and Jack Frosts go around the city, and brainwash a few avatars.
Warnings: Singing.

It was more than just a strange turmoil at this point. Hell, it been the talk of the town and on the news since a few days ago. Searching for the culprits had showed up nothing (although rumors pointed it at either the Anoli who had been relatively quiet lately or an unidentified third party) and if other demons knew what was up, no one was really talking. What was visible, however, where the results.

Frost on one side of the street, summertime on the other. The very elements had been arguing for the entire month now met up in dangerous lines for the past week.

What's more, the network had started to malfunction for those supposed to be searching and helping to protect this town. Coincidence? Or was there something more in the air?

Dawn of the 21st day, or more technically, the end of the 20th, 13th hour, the culprits finally made themselves known.

Jack Frosts and Pyro Jacks flew around the city in visible numbers, spinning the air into divided lines, bringing forth spring, summer, fall, winter in a carousel of powers and spells. The air hissed and groaned, as they got into verbal arguments.

Turf wars, it seemed, spanned the elements and the holidays. Especially when two powerful clans were acting like spoiled children.

And like a plague, their powers spread out like the wildfire and snowflakes that they wielded, their mastery of the elements leaking out into the physical world, now not only touching the atmosphere, but the very people of the city. Those closely related to the ice, water, fire and lightning would find their powers suddenly acting strangely, and the creature's own wants and desires reflected in their own. Blessed...or cursed more likely with this, the city found itself with a different problem altogether.

But that wasn't all. Oh no. That would be far to easy. In the mist of the argument, they realized that just having two clans fighting would not be enough. Oh no! Since the habitats of the city lived in it, they should be the ones to decide who would win; a summery green Christmas, or a chilly wintery one?

For four people, it would be a call they couldn't ignore. The clans chose their avatars, and grew ready to spread their influence over all...in the name of a holiday.

Their hearts were in the right place. They were just thinking too much like demons.

[OOC: Feel free to start your own posts wandering around the city. If you signed up, you are now affected by the spells. You can control and play as many Frost and Pyro Jacks as you want, since they'll be close to you/wanting to help out their chosen ones. For the four, your first mission will be to spread the "joy" of your respectful holiday. You're not doing this to be malicious, you're just stating what you feel is the right option for Christmas, that's all (TOTALLY NOT BRAINWASHED YOU GUYS)! Everyone else, you can go around and try to talk with the Pyro or the Jack Frosts, but they'll be busy spreading their 'cheer' around. You can crash into each others' threads too, especially if you are one of the affected. For now it's not so much fighting as just being overly festive and why doesn't the other clan see how wrong they are?]

The facepalm is likely audible even more than the flailing. Foolbro, water yu doing...

"...Narukami-kun?"

It was hard to miss all that flailing, and Yu just stood there patiently, waiting for her brain to process words.

"Yes?"

...he's not at all bothered by any of this.

Wait just a little longer because...

"...What are you wearing??????????????????????"

Nope. Cannot unsee. Cannot even look.

#Signs of sheltered protag, #oh my god why, #izanagi i pity you so much right now

Yu paused, glancing down at his loincloth and feathers, like there was... absolutely nothing wrong with this picture.

"My... clothes?"

Seriously, Aqua, what is wrong with how he's dressed?

"...You're wearing a loin cloth."

You are not from a jungle.

This is not okay.

"Yeah, it is."

And a damn nice loincloth if he says so himself. Look, it even shines in the moonlight!

NOPE NOPE NOPE she is NOT looking! Never. Nope-

oh hey shi- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE.

"...Why are you wearing a loin cloth?" Walt Almighty, how does does he not have a problem with this???

"HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Just when you thought Yu's outfit was overkill, someone else appeared behind the entire group on a rooftop. With a snap of his fingers, Eikichi's normal civilian clothing melted away and Great Gods the avatar outfit was a complete catastrophe. Eikichi was flanked by a few Jack Frosts, one of them in particular riding his elbow much like a parrot.

"Aha! We're sorry to interrupt this little party, babes, but it's a little warm for my tastes!"
"Too warm, hi-ho!"

He moved his hand forward and the Jack Frost turned the nearby area into a small mountain of instant snow, the likes of which glistened in the dark hour. Fresh, beautiful, very Holiday-like.

"Ahh much better, don't you agree? Whoever heard of a Green Christmas? No one ever wrote songs about that, BAA-BY!!"
"BA---BY, Hi-ho!"

"Well it seems that..."

"Everyone is going to have an ice day tomorrow!"
"And it's snow joking matter, Hi-ho!"

Glasses still over his eyes, he then brought out a mic made out of snow from nowhere, and began to sing...

"♫ I wear my sunglasses at night
So he can, so he can
Watch you weave
Then exhale misty vapor!
And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Keep track of the visions in my eyes ♫

♫ While he's deceiving you
It cuts our security
Fire's got control of him
So I turn to you and say ♫

♫ Don't switch the fire
On the guy in blue, he-ho!
Don't heatwave
With the guy in blue, he-ho!
I can't believe it
'Cause you got it made
With the guy in blue, he-ho!...♫

♫ And I wear my outfit at night,
So he can, so he can
Destroy the fire and bring forth snow!
And I wear my sunglasses at night
So he can, so he can
See the Christmas lights right before my eyes! ♫

♫ While he's deceiving you
He cuts our security
Have they got control of him?
So I turn to you and say ♫

♫ Don't switch the fire
On the guy in blue, he-ho!
Don't heatwave
With the guy in blue, he-ho!
I can't believe it
Don't be afraid
'Cause you got it made
With the guy in blue, he-ho!...
Don't be scared baby,
'Cause you got it made
With the guy in blue, he-ho!...♫

♫ Oh, I say I wear my sunglasses at night
He wears his sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I sing it to you now
I wear my sunglasses at night
He wears his sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
Christmas in Snow!
I wear my sunglasses at night
He wears his sunglasses at night ♫"

Of all the days for Terra to decide on taking the scenic route back to Libra, why did it have to be today?

He doesn't really know what's going on--between the strange outfits on two of the people, the Frosts accompanying the singer, and Aqua looking like she's just as confused as he is, there's no way he's going to actually figure this one out.

Well. When in doubt, blame the city. He's going to look in Aqua's direction. "Why do I have a feeling this won't end well?"

Yu wasn't exactly paying attention to the spectators at the moment; he was more concerned with the fact that that godawful snow was getting a little too close for his tastes. It was bad enough he didn't like snow in the first place -- December was a bad month -- but this person flaunting it around, and...

...and puns.

Oh hell no.

He reached up, adjusting his glasses. "Perhaps you should pay more attention. There is at least one song about a Green Christmas."

The Pyro Jacks let out a cackle at that, circling around Yu before spreading out, burning off the snow the Jack Frosts had just laid down.

Yu, meanwhile, reaching up into the sky with the kind of swagger one would expect from an experienced Persona summoner. Only instead of an Arcana card, lightning struck, granting Yu a golden microphone that sparked on occasion.

...apparently this was going to be a sing off, because he started singing too, the Pyro Jack's joining him as they zigzagged around.

"♫ I see your snowy face high behind your collar
What is done in vain, Truth is hard to swallow
So you pray to God to justify the way you live a Lie
Live a Lie, live a Lie. ♫

"♫ And you take your time
And you do your crime
Well you made your bed I made mine! ♫

"♫ Because when I arrive, I-I'll bring the fire
Make you come alive, I can take you higher
What this is, forgot? I must now remind you
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock ♫

"♫ Now the son's disgraced, he who knew his father
When he cursed his name turned and chased the dollar
But it broke his heart so he stuck his middle finger to the World
To the World, to the World ♫

"♫ And you take your time
And you stand in line
Where you'll get what's yours I got mine! ♫

"♫ Because when I arrive, I-I'll bring the fire
Make you come alive, I can take you higher
What this is, forgot? I must now remind you
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock ♫

"♫ Yeah! Green world, make it hot!
Pants drop and the tops
And she gon' rock 'til the camera stop
I sing about angels like Gabriel ♫

"♫ Rock!
And Uriel
Rock!
And Raphael
Rock!
And Virtue
And Dominion ménage à moi ♫

"♫ Because when I arrive, I-I’ll bring the fire
Make you come alive, I can take you higher
What this is, forgot? I must now remind you
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock ♫

"♫ Because when I arrive, I-I’ll bring the fire
Make you come alive, I can take you higher
What this is, forgot? I must now remind you
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock ♫

"♫ Just let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Rock, rock
Let it rock! Let it rock! ♫

"♫ I wish I could be as cold as you
And I wish I could say the things you do
But I can't and I won't live a Lie
No, not this time ♫"

...it is probably difficult for the spectators to process what they just witnessed...

Aqua is just... trying to keep some level of composure after seeing two, yes, TWO of her social links suddenly appear in loin cloths and... Oh, sweet mother of Light spells what was going oooooooooon?

"I don't think it wi-"

And then Yu started singing.

That was a thing.

...

"♫What’s this? What’s this?
The snow's melting everywhere!
What’s this? They’re in public just in underwear!
What’s this?
The clans are all feuding while our friends, they can’t stop singing!
Great, now I’ve started too! What’s this? ♫"

...Nooooooo, her vocal chords! They betrayed heeeeer!

"Oh you wanna dance against the Great Michel and the Christmas cheer brigade?" With an exaggerated movement of adjusting his hair, two Jack Frosts brought out a large boombox in the front.

This time the beat was hard not to beat your head to. Hell, you got treated to an entire dance routine, as he used a wave of water to allow himself down to the street level.

This was war.

" ♫ CHRISTMAS ROCK!
YEA! He-ho!
Whoa!
LET'S GO!
Christmas rock in the 13th hour tonight
Everybody just have a good time
And we gonna make it snow all the time
Everybody just have a good time ♫

♫ Snow'n Ice is in the streets tonight

And we gonna make you dance and unwind ♫

♫ We just wanna see ya--! ♫

♫ SHAKE THAT! ♫ He-ho!

♫ On the trees n' roads, gonna give it all a whirl,
Snow everywhere (He ho!) non stop when we in the spot
Booty moves cause Jack Frosts own this block
Hey let it snow, let it snow
Tight outfit, Michel's ready to rock and roll
Half blue half white, He-ho!
Winter's always been made for Snow! ♫"

There was a pause and the music stopped for a few seconds. Maybe they were done and--

"♫ Hoooooooo! ♫ "

Guess not.

"♫ I'm running through this snow to make it Grow
I got that glacial flow, rock and roll ice n' snow
We Christmas rock yea! That's the crew that I'm repping
On a rise to the top no Pyro Jacks get there
He Ho!! ♫

♫ Christmas Snow is in the streets tonight
Everybody just have a good time
And we gonna make you lose your mind
Everybody just have a good time ♫

♫ Let's go! ♫
♫ Party rock is in the streets tonight
Everybody just have a good time
And we gonna make you lose your mind ♫

♫ Babes we just wanna see you... ♫

♫ Shake that! ♫

♫ Every day we're shuffling ♫
♫ Shuffling shuffling! ♫ "

Oh god now they were all dancing some more. At least the beat wasn't too bad.

" ♫ Step up fast and be the snow storm to make me Christmas all white
We get ice don't be mad now stop hatin's bad ♫

♫ One more frost for us
Another round
Please enjoy these glacial stops
Don't mess around
We just wanna see
You shake it now
Now you go home and see
Hot chocolate now! ♫

♫ Get up get down put your hands up to the sound
Get up get down put your hands up to the sound
Get up get down put your hands up to the sound

♫ Christmas rock is in the streets tonight Put your hands up!

♫ Put your Put your
Put your Put your Yeah Yeah
Put your Put your He Ho!
Put your Put your
Put your hands up
Your hands up
Put your hands up every day I'm shuffling! ♫"

When he stopped, the entire area he had been dancing how now turned back into a winter wonderland.

...and most of the neighborhood was woken up to boot.

Well. That was... enlightening, Sis. Coupled with the songs, the effects on the weather the two in costume had after their songs had finished, and how those in costume were acting like this was normal.

What. The. Hell.

"♫What's this? What's this?
There's something very wrong
What's this?
These two loons are singing songs-♫" Oh great, it has to be contagious!

"♫What's this?
The streets are filled with
Frosts and Pyros singing
Everyone seems to have lost it
Or maybe it's us affected?
What is this?
What's this?♫"

As much as he wishes he hadn't sung his confusion, he's glad that neither he nor Aqua are making spectacles of themselves like the other two seem to be intent on doing.

Yu shuddered at all the cold, arms wrapping around himself as he fell to his knees. This wasn't right... normally his soul Persona was just normal around ice. Why did it feel like a weakness...?

He raised his head then, narrowing his eyes as the Pyro Jacks rallied around him, trying to pour on the warmth so he wouldn't be stuck like that. This guy wanted a war... then he was going to get just that, and he'd regret messing with a champion of Truth like him. It was a moment before Yu could get back to his feet, reaching up to adjust his Midnight Channel glasses, before a hand shot out.

"Grab it!"

Lightning struck around and the boombox itself, scaring off the Jack Frosts that had been commanding it and allowing two Pyro Jacks to swoop in and commandeer it. They dropped it off in front of Yu, and he crossed his arms as he brought his foot down on it. The speakers started to beat out a tune that was probably really familiar at this point, the Pyro Jack's bouncing in time with the music.

...and yes, you're getting the whole damn dance too.

"♫ Oh, Green Christmas Style
Christmas Style ♫

"♫ Watch you now, try to freeze it while you're singing
Gonna burn it, 'hee-!
You better believe me, man, I ain't bluffing
Burn it up~! Until it's thawed out!
White and chill's too cold to play in
Come on, -ho! We'll make hot like the Sauna!
Go to the beach and party 'til the sun comes up
'til the sun comes up~ ♫

"♫ You're too busy; you need to listen
Out in the snow
You are too slow
Gotta keep up, you need to speed up
Just so you know?
You gotta go
Out lightning fast before this blooo~ ooo~ oooows ♫

"♫ Oh, Green Christmas Style ♫"

As if the whole spectical wasn't bad enough, the Pyro Jacks were fanning out, getting a little... too enthusiastic with it. Not only were they getting the Jack Frosts caught up in the dance, but they were dragging their spectators into it too.

"♫ Green Christmas Style
Hee-ho-hee-hee
Ho, Green Chistmas Style
Green Christmas Style
Hee-ho-hee-hee
Ho, Green Chistmas Style ♫"

...and then suddenly Aqua could feel feathers between her legs. Guess who was going too far with this dance right now? The Pyro Jacks bouncing around were not helping with the fact that Yu was totally getting way too into it.

"♫ Ho~ sex-hee lay-dee~
Hee-ho-hee-hee
Ho, Green Chistmas Style
Ho~ sex-hee lay-dee~
Hee-ho-hee-hee
Ho, Green Chistmas Style--♫"

"I'm not sure, either-" THANK ALL, IT STOPPED-- Oh Light above, it's that song again. And it's... still as catchy as ever...

...

Yeah, sorry big bro, she kind of got caught up in the moment for a second (darn you, half-Disney geeeeeenes-!) and decided to go what the hay, might as well have some fun with it. At least until she notices something--

...

There are feathers in between her legs.

... ...

She looked down, and saw Yu there. In his costume, and oh god oh man oh god oh man oh god oh man--

... ... ...

A giant key appeared in her hand, and for a brief second she whispered an apology to both Yu and Izanagi (she can still sense them in there, at least... what the hell, new biffle). Yet for as brief as the apology was and the pink petals fleeting, she is suddenly in front of him instead and lifting her Keyblade up into the air.

"ENOUGH."

Before she completely realized what she's doing, Aqua was already in the air, pointing her Keyblade tip to the sky and causing a black void of nothing to appear around them as a sphere. Still floating in the air, she spun and a sort of powerful ripple effect occured in the air that hit everyone in that same sphere. Those who were trapped and struck by the wave found themselves floating helplessly as well, sent in all sorts of different directions in their own personally-casted anti-gravity spheres.

Of course, this meant Aqua could be hit by them as well as the center of this sphere. Yet Terra and the more innocent ones seemed to be unaffected. Odd, that.

Ten seconds later, and it ended with one bit of word from a still not-very-happy blue-haired sorceress.

"...Master Aqua style."

That, my friends... was Transcendence.

After a second, she rubbed the back of her neck out of nervous habit. "...Sorry. Lost my temper, there."

Oops...?

Well that wasn't exactly what Eikichi nor the Frost Clan was expecting. Feeling himself hovering when it wasn't his own water magic, the bubble he was trapped in popped close to a wall, causing him to be slammed into a nearby building, the row of Jack Frost into his tender flesh (at least he cushioned their fall?) There would be a lot of aches and bruises the next day.

A flowerpot overhead fell down and hit him on the head for good measure. Never enough overkill, when it came to Eikichi's misfortune.

Yet he was also a resilient guy; taking punches face to fist from Ginko, knife stabs to the abdomen or four guys hitting him then getting up anyway. It still hurt a lot, mind you, and for now he could barely get up. This despite after a few frosts were close to him, poking him with their hands trying to roll him over.

"Get up, He-ho! That woman's dangerous and she's not being very Christmas spirit-like!"

"Maybe she's like a Christmas Scrooge?"

"Owww." Yes, thank you for that, Eikichi.

Of all places, Eikichi manages to run into the side of a music and movies store. As he works on his recovery, a short nine-year old walks out and stands over Eikichi's head from behind him, looking down on him with a grin. "Sorry, I think I'm gonna have to crash this silly little squabble. Anyway, I heard what you and those Jack Frost guys were doing, and I love it! So I've decided to hang around and help you out."

She jumps up on Eikichi's stomach and snaps her fingers. "Boys! Let's get to it!"

Edited 2012-12-22 06:05 (UTC)

"She's right, He-Ho!"

Everyone stood up with renewed vigor! ~~And stupidity~~. Even an attack couldn't keep Winter Wonderland and the Beat Down!

"♫ Ungh, Vanellope von Schweetz, Michel Mishina! ♫"

And then to everyone's horror, the music started.

"♫ YEAAAAAH! ♫"

"♫ Thirtheen Hour starts now
Together on the track, the snow is back
Thirtheen Hour starts now
Night starts now bay-by chill with us, snowfall fallin' down to the neck when we rollin' up. ♫"
