Snow for Johnny - itsune9tl - 12-25-2006
Quote:With this song, Doug can summon enough for "Johnny" to build a big snowman. However it only works on Christmas Eve, the rest of the year it just back fires.
Please send some snow
Some snow for Johnny
He wants to build
A big snowman
It was a week just before Christmas
Way down in Lousianne
A little boy was kneeling by his bed
In a manner poised and grand
I listened as he said his prayers
His voice came soft and low
He said, "God tell Saint Nicholas
To send a little snow."
Please send some snow
Some snow for Johnny
He wants to build
A big snowman
I'd like to build a snowman
Like the other children do
I've got an old top hat, and a walking cane
Got a big long cigarre too.
Yes everything is ready
And I'm all set to go
How can I build a snowman
When I haven't any snow
Please send some snow
Some snow for Johnny
He wants to build
A big snowman
Now, early chrismtmas morning
Much to his surprise
Snowflakes by the millions
Were falling from the skies
Down the stairs and out-of-doors
As fast as he could go
So happy that Saint Nicholas
Had sent a little snow
Thanks for the snow
The snow for Johnny
Now he can build
A big snowman
Thanks for the snow
The snow for Johnny
Now he can build
A big snowman
Thanks for the snow
The snow for Johnny
Now he can build
A big snowman

Quote:Hmm, how about it creates a snowman golem that Doug controls? The snowman could even be followed around by a small localized snowstorm centered over the its head.

Snow for Johnny, is more of a prep the field type of song.

A minor weather control effect: Snow Only.
And I like the idea of "Frosty The Snowman" producing a snow golem. That's nicely twisted.

Would the Classic "Winter Wonderland" summon a snowstorm?
And also would "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" produce a Rudolph simalcrum?

I'd expect "Winter Wonderland" would just summon the snow -- already in place, not falling.
"Rudolph" -- mmm. Let me think on that one.

Quote:Erm... not so minor weather control. According to the lyrics, the snow arrives the next morning.
A minor weather control effect: Snow Only.
So figure about 4 - 8 inches of snow within 300 feet of where the song was played. Collateral damage would probably be a reduction of 2 inches in snow level every 50 to 300 feet after that.
Re: Snow for Johnny - Bob Schroeck - 02-23-2007
I have trouble justifying "delayed" effects to myself -- it just doesn't jive with how I visualize his power working. I'd rather have it just start manifesting snow right away.
As for Rudolph, I suppose a simulacrum would be a lot of fun, at that...
