[In a wide open hall with banners and a various sundry of celebratory items, the headmaster's rousing speech begins to come to a close.]

In short, you all are here to save our world! There is a threat out there that we must face, but we cannot face it alone. [His demeanor is pleasant, but thinly veiled. His stress is evident in his words, but he is attempting to stay cheerful.] We must do our best to watch over our friends and family and neighbors, no matter who they may be.

We are all responsible for one another. [He lets the silence hang for a moment before letting off and overly cheerful--] HaHa! [Was that a bit forced? Or was it just me?]

Well, guys, it’s time for me t’go, got lotsa stuff to take care of bein’ headmaster and all. But please, get to know one another, go check out classes, and find out where you live on campus! [He gestures to various sections of the room, all labeled with bright colored papers and text.]

I’ll see y’around!

[And with that, the headmaster is off! No, seriously. Watch him go, he’s movin’ fast for such a short guy.]

((OOC: WELCOMING CEREMONY LOG! Feel free to create starters here and tag everyone! Don’t be shy. :) You can use prose or action text, whichever you’re more comfortable with.))

[Yeah, see, he's not as stupid as that, Frost. Jack ducks-- the snow manages to hit the top of his head, but at least his precious cigarette is saved. With a laugh he darts forward, grabbing for the other boy's wrists-- it's fighting time, okay.]

psh you're okay you're okay <3

[shepherdofthefrost]

[ After a split second's delay while he gets over the initial shock, Jack attempts to avoid the lunge by darting up into the air. That split second is one split second too many, though, and Kelly's hands lock around his wrist, effectively tethering him to the ground.

So now he's stuck, hovering like a kite a few feet off the floor as he tries to wrench his hands free. He gives an irritated grin. ]

Seriously, it was just a snowball! Are we really gonna do this? Because if so...

[ He flexes his fingers and the surface temperature of his skin dips noticeably, forming instant frost on the other boy's fingertips. ]

All I'm saying is, the cigarette's next.

[allucinator]

[Jack's eyes widen; immediately he drops his wrist.]

What are you?

[shepherdofthefrost]

[ Jack tuts quietly, his expression one of mock severity. ]

Aw, now that's not very nice. I'm a who, not a what.

[ With his wrists released, his hand darts out lightning quick and pinches the end of Kelly's cigarette flat, freezing it solid. He drops back to the ground, hands raised to either side. Ta-da. ]

And my name is Jack Frost.

[allucinator]

[He raises an eyebrow-- annoyed, yes, but not that annoyed. Yet.]

See, now, buddy-boy, it's war.

[shepherdofthefrost]

[ Jack laughs, a short, sharp noise that definitely comes off as "he's totally not taking that threat seriously at all." ]

War? Over a snowball and one little cigarette? That's extreme. [ He twirls his staff behind his back, switching hands. ] But if you insist, fine! I can take you, no problem.

[allucinator]

As if. You got a few snow-y tricks, fine. But I've been fightin' all me life.

[shepherdofthefrost]

[ Okay, now you're getting on his nerves. He laughs again, though this time slightly more irritated. ]

Puh-lease, fighting who, cops and teachers? I almost got eaten by a pack of wolves in the dead of winter one time. You beat up a pack of wolves and then get back to me about fighting all your life. These aren't just party tricks.
