Snow Fight!

[misterbrief]

Who: EVERYONE.
What: Snowball free-for-all.
When: February 25th, during the Harvest Moon Valentine's Event!
Where: The road and the area between Houses 16, 19, and 27
Summary: Who knows how it started, but there's a war being waged in the street- and you've just been tagged a few times by a snowball. Join in on the fun, seek revenge, or just try to get out of the fray! Maybe make a new friend or two, you never know what will happen with those Heart Meters!
Rating: S for snow.



It was a calm day until someone decided to be a little mischievous. But accidents do happen, and one snowball lead to another until a full out war started in the middle of the village. Everyone for themselves, pelting each other, dragging the poor passerby into the chaos with either a well aimed or not-so-well aimed snowball.

[Peony had come across the snowball fight on pure accident when he had been hit squarely in the back of the head with a misfired snowball, yet because of his fun and competitive spirit, he soon joins in the fun as a result.

Which means one of two things. The first is that he has appeared from seemingly no where as an new enemy/target, or the second is that he has sort of joined sides with your character by unspoken means. Either way, he'll make a small pile of snowballs and throw them at unsuspecting people.

He's pretty obvious about, too, as almost every time he hits someone with a snowball he'll grin or laugh sheepishly when they turn to look at him, before ducking away. Alternatively, his reactions to getting hit is to throw a snowball in kind. Game on.]

[Seeing the emperor of Malkuth flail around in the snow is all too nostalgic. He skulks from a distance while preparing his own move.

He prepares the lowest-powered fonic arte he could; a version of Frost Coffin that will irritate rather than damage.

And then, he silently drops it on him from several yards behind him.

Ah... nosalgia.]

[dedicatednoless]

[The unsuspecting Emperor is able to feel the chill of the arte like a cold winter wind picking up suddenly, but by then it was too late to react and he is hit, down for the count, with what was none other than a graceful cry--]

Whaaaaaaaat? [And the cry cuts off when his face is planted into the pile of snowballs he's built up.]

[yourfononsarewhack]

[Jade actually lets out a laugh at the display and steps up beside the fallen emperor, fully prepared to gloat.]

My, Your Majesty. You seem to have taken quite the tumble. Perhaps your tactics could use some adjustments.

[dedicatednoless]

[He isn't too sure still with what happened until he lifts his face from the snow and turns to see Jade standing there-- oh, of course, it wouldn't him. Peony rolls so he is sitting on the snow and able to stand up, with a petulant frown.]

And who's fault is that? My tactics are fine, you bespectacled cheat.

[yourfononsarewhack]

Oh? My apologies, Your Majesty. [A wry grin.]

There must be something affecting my eyesight, since I've only been able to see a distinct lack of results.

[dedicatednoless]

Only you could say with that with that face, but the only thing lacking here is your fair play!

[yourfononsarewhack]

That's a dreadful accusation. [He shrugs.] What's so unfair about using my natural talents?

[dedicatednoless]

Don't play coy- you know very well it's because you're talents give you an unfair edge.

[Or that he's still somewhat of a sulky loser? maybe.]

[yourfononsarewhack]

Oh? [He frowns. But very insincerely.] My apologies. I suppose you'd like me to handicap myself.

[dedicatednoless]

Only you would claim it's a handicap, but yes... this time that's exactly what I want you to do.

[lostinmyway]

[You wouldn't mind joining the side of a certain lovely lady, would you?

Grune is tossing snowballs here, there, and everywhere, joyfully indiscriminate, but she's not exactly any good at it. For the most part, there's not a lot of force behind her throws, and except for once in a blue moon, her aim isn't exactly laser-like in its accuracy.

But, while she may not be contributing, she's sure as heck having a great time!]

[dedicatednoless]

[Not at all!

In fact in noticing her apparent bad aim, he steps along side her to toss a couple of snow balls at the targets he assumed she has going for. Some miss, but most hit the unfortunate people in the upper torso. Nevertheless, in the spur of the moment he feels little like a hero (actually, not really, it's just a high from the adrenaline of having some good old fashioned fun), and greets her with a grin much like that of a child's.]

[lostinmyway]

[And she beams right back, a snowball forgotten in her hands.]

Hello, Peony! Isn't this fun?

[dedicatednoless]

[Yikes, isn't that cold? ...even with gloves? But for the moment, he won't give any further attention to that. With a nod and a hearty laugh in response, she has his undivided attention, even if that means standing stupidly in the middle of a snow ball fight.]

Of course! It is still as exhilarating as I remember.

[lostinmyway]

[And he has her undivided attention. This is going to end well.]

Oh, have you been in a snowball fight before?

[dedicatednoless]

All the time back when I was younger.

[Back in the nostalgic days with Professor Nebilim and the Keterberg gang.]

[lostinmyway]

Who did you play wi-- [Whoops snowball to the back.] Oh, my.

[dedicatednoless]

Ahaha. [Sorry, he can't help but laugh a little in good spirit, though, at her surprise.

Though, as soon as he does, a snowball flies directly into the side of his face. Guess he deserved that? But no worries, the smile on his face remains. The kid in laughter not to far away will be someone he deals with soon, but for the moment he'll wipe the snow off his face.] Ah, so. What was that you were saying?

[lostinmyway]

[She blinks when he gets a snowball to the face, but since he seems to be all right, she goes ahead and repeats her question:] Who did you play with?

[dedicatednoless]

Oh. [Now he understands what she had been trying to say.]

That would be my friends: Jade, Saphir, and Nephry. As a matter of fact, Jade and Nephry happen to be in Luceti as well.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, how wonderful! [She clasps her hands together.] Are they here right now?

[dedicatednoless]

Ah, well, Nephry probably isn't, but I somehow get the feeling Jade is skulking around somewhere close by.

[lostinmyway]

[Oh hey, that's a name she knows.]

We should go find him and play with him, too! It can be just like when you were little.

[dedicatednoless]

That sounds like a fantastic idea! Just promise me you won't team up against me because I'm afraid I'd be no match.
