Maggie walked up to the Institute, dressed in her coat and mittens. She hadn't quite noticed everything as it was set up yet, as her face was buried in a book about the architectural concepts behind igloo building.

Jean had conversed with Hank briefly before they'd joined the others outside and she was confident that it had been enough time for him to come up with a fully realized schematic for their fort. He could pack a lot of snow in a very short period of time, and there was just enough sunshine to make the snow smooth easily into blocks. Working together, it only took them half an hour to finish.

The fort itself stood six feet tall with enough room for the two of them inside, plus anyone else who decided to join. There were no viewholes, but a packed set of steps that led up to parapet on which Jean could perch and command their defense strategy while Doctor McCoy took it upon himself to ready their snowball ammunition.

(ooc: yes, I'm assuming participation by Hank, cleared with the husband as he's working til midnight. feel free to attack at will!)

Calvin is wearing a plastic army helmet, wielding a pointer stick, and has a roll of crayon blueprints under his arm. "All right everyone, listen up! We are going to turn this two-bit hunk of a school into the most impregnable defensive position known to man! I've made copies of the design for everybody, so I don't want to hear any excuses for putting a turret in the wrong place." He paces back and forth, handing out schematics. They are... elaborate. "Let's try to get both the inner and outer walls up as fast as possible so we'll have time to pay proper attention to the moat and to make as much ammunition as we can! Remember, you're all gonna be using this fort for cover when we're through, so consider yourselves motivated to do a good job! Any questions?"

Maggie clapped her book shut and looked down at the little boy with a smile; his spunk might give her little sister a run for her money.

"May I help? Uh... sir?"

She paused. "Is it okay to use powers?" Not caring either way, she just wanted to know what tools she would have available to her.

"You may," Calvin said with an air of magnanimity. The authority might have been getting to his head juuuuuust a bit. "And of course it's okay to use powers! Heck, this thing would be physically impossible to make without them."

Nods solemnly and takes the plans. "Yes, sir."

The book in her hands opens of its own accord, and the pages begin to fly about, whirling about in a vortex until they knit themselves together forming the shape of a giant... man? A robot? Let's go with giant paper robot, about 8 feet tall. Maggie moves her hands and fingers, as if she was manipulating a very complex marionette, and the squarish claws on the ends of its arms scoops up snow and rapidly starts forming them into bricks.

The snow would eventually seep into the paper--reinforced by Maggie's will though it was--and make it too wet to be useful, but she was working fast enough that she should get some headway into her work before needing to find more paper.

Calvin. Just stares.

"...Wow. Hey! Hey, paper girl! Who are you? Whoever you are, you're my new friend!"

Re: Fort Building origamiguardian January 24 2010, 18:01:54 UTC

The tall young woman smiles slightly. "I'm Maggie. Pleased to meet you."

With a wiggle of her hands, cupping them together, the "robot" scoops a large chunk of snow and further builds up the wall, leaving the scooped out area in front to start a moat of sorts.

"That is so cool," Calvin muttered to himself as he watched, before he realized something. "Hey! You just wrecked that book to make that thing, didn't you? Do you have to do that for your power to work?" A power that involved ruining books couldn't be that great, in Calvin's eyes. Unless they were textbooks.

Re: Fort Building origamiguardian January 24 2010, 22:33:24 UTC

"I can use anything made of paper. It can destroy books, but I try to be careful," she said, looking at him very earnestly. "I'd never hurt a book unnecessarily."

She looked up at the golem. "This book was old... got it free out of a bin, was falling apart, too hard to fix. It was about igloos so..." She smiled. "It seemed appropriate to send it off this way."
