Event Finished Oh, What Fun It Is to.... Clear Snow!

Riley didn't mind using her powers for this - as long as she got to use them to blast things, and people appreciated her for it. She didn't even mind having adult supervision, and if she squinted, it wasn't supervision, not really. More like, she was working alongside them, like an equal.

Like that one guy, Evan. Well, he was four guys at the time, but either way. He had just been to prison, and he was pretty cool, but there was no way he was "supervising" her. Not a single one of him was. They were in this together.

"Hey, get out of the way for a second," She told someone. "I'm gonna do the thing." Holding out the handle of her shovel in front of her, she pointed it at a wall of snow over the road which, for her, was past her knees in height.

The blast was more bright and hot than concussive, making a THWUMP sound as it kicked up snow and water, and even a little bit of steam over empty snow. That was 4 meters of snow they wouldn't have to shovel, except for a few slushy parts left over that would be easier to dig into than what used to be there.

She grinned with delight.

And then it was back to using her shovel. She was pacing herself with her powers so she wouldn't run out too fast.

Fenn couldn’t help but jolt heartily everytime Riley kicked up a wicked snowsplosion, wings wrapping around himself in some reflexive bid of protection. It was lucky the snow muffled the noise of it. He didn’t want his ears blasted too.

As one of the few folks here whose active powers weren’t exactly of help — he couldn’t control his icy winds, and worse, he might accidentally make more of this blasted snow — he too was armed only with a shovel and an odd amount of determination. Fact was though, being totally oblivious to cold in the dead-middle of winter was still a nice trick.

Being 4’2” and half-buried by the continual deludge, less so.

“For once, I’m actually gonna say that I hope this snow stops,” he called over to the telekinetic as he struggled to heft another shovelful of snow overhead. Zora, right? “If it don’t, my damn apartment roof’s gonna fall inward!”

Clearing the snow had become a daily chore for Fehr, as her house was away from the city and there was no one but her to shovel it all away. Still she wanted to contribute to the community and thus was helping clear the snow. Earlier she had scanned a large snowplow and Fehr had materialized it and was now pushing large quantities of snow to the side of the road. Very large quatities that looked too heavy for someone her size and state to be able to push. But Fehralyn could lift several hundreds of kilograms, this was nothing.

The explosions Riley was causing didn't make Fehr even flinch and she continued working tirelessly, occasionally nodding or waving if a student she taught happened to walk by. Fehr had dressed warmly and had bought a new light pink jacket recently, that she had deemed practical and a succesful purchase.
Fehralyn wasn't one to do small talk and thus she kept working on her own. Physical labour made her feel content and there was a small smile on Fehr's face as she pushed yet another large quantity of snow aside.

Fehr seized working for a moment and took a breather, leaning on the snowplow and watching the snow float down. She still had some tests and quizzes to grade over the holidays, Fehr decided to get right on that when she got home after this.
Another one of the workers, one that was creating multiple clones, approached Fehralyn and spoke to her and she turned her head slightly to look at him. Although she could see him from any position her head was in, thanks to her very wide field of vision.

"Power training still continues during the holidays, it's important for some students to keep using and practising their powers since they can potentially be dangerous. And some students can only use their powers in a safe school environment under teacher supervision."
Fehralyn explained, maybe a bit too much in detail since the man probably had just attempted making small talk.
