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!

That's fair I guess!
no subject
Yeah, same.
[She's just sitting on the ground, not having bothered to move from where she slipped and landed on her ass. Between her silvery hair and pale skin, she'd probably just blend in completely with all the snow now covering her if it weren't for the black gas mask.]
[For a moment, she seems to be mulling something over... and then:]
Hey, wanna team up?
no subject
What would that look like?
no subject
That depends: how do you feel about ambushes?
[Judging by how Lin got Jail in the first place, she's guessing the answer is "relatively positive"]
no subject
Who did you want to ambush?
no subject
Yes. Yes is who.
[In other words, whoever has the bad luck to show up first. Although...]
'Specially a few people we ain't likely to get the drop on all alone. That warping trick makes it pretty hard to get a clear shot, right?
[Attention Lucians and Lucian-adjacent CR: you may have a problem.]
