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!

no subject
[...was that a backhanded insult or compliment? Hard to say.]
[Jail performs a perfect diving dodge to avoid the snowballs, keeping hold of her ridiculous winter cannon as she ducks and rolls, rising back to her feet with it already in position. She doesn't waste a single moment, firing on Kurama while still in motion, never still as she chases after the flying fox.]
[This display of skill, timing, and sheer acrobatics possibly would be legitimately impressive if it weren't for the fact that performing a duck and roll on snow-covered ground means that she now has so much fucking snow in her hair, oh my God, why is this.]
[To be honest, she probably would've gotten hit with less frost if she'd just let him get her with the snowballs.]
