The Great Snow Fight of 2019

Who: Everyone
What: People pack snow into little balls and throw them at each other
When: January 30st and probably on and off for a couple of days after
Where: The grounds outside Keystone
Warnings: The weather outside is frightful

There's...not always a lot to do around Keystone Station. Sure there's books and video games and movies but for someone like Lin, who gets antsy when she's cooped up inside for too long, that only holds her attention for so long.

And then it started snowing.

There's only one thing to do about that.

-1-

It was quiet out. Maybe...TOO quiet.

All of the sudden, snowballs started flying out of the gloom, often from strange directions (like directly overhead.). It was followed by the sound of Lin's laughter. Someone's trying to start some shit.

Sure, she COULD have just invited everyone outside and told them, but this seemed more fun.

-2-

After a while, word got around and more people started getting into the spirit of it. Now it's not hunt and ambush so much as just a ton of people in a big confusing melee. Forts have been built. Tenuous alliances have been made. Factions are betraying each other at the drop of a hat, and everything is chaos.

Truly, war is hell.

-3-

This is the prompt for people who have had enough snow fighting for now and are huddled together in the kitchen, where a big ol' pot full of spiced cider is gently simmering on the stovetop making the room nice and warm and also making it smell amazing.

[OOC: Prompt 1 is obviously more focused on Lin specifically, but feel free to use the other 2 for general mingling!

[Ardyn his left side is his good side. Here's a snowball thrown past your head to dodge, Izunia hoping to take advantage of that half-second of "shit he's behind me" to get a hit in.]

[Whack, directly in the face it went knocking him clear over into the snow.]

Oh, fuck you.

[Nope, he's gonna look smug about that one for a minute.]

If you wish to avenge yourself, I believe the operative phrase is come and get it.

[Ardyn frowned from his position on the ground, glaring up at Izunia...then narrowing his eyes at a spot a few feet above his head, almost as if measuring something.]

[Then he snapped his fingers, dropping a flurry of snow on him in a low-scale Blizzard spell.]

[Brothers are the worst, it's true.

Izunia makes a bit of a squawking noise as the snow lands, phasing and then warping away when that isn't enough to get him out of the spell.

He's smiling, though.]


Oh, you're in for it now.
