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.

[On five year olds Vash is super easy! Without it being too obvious of course. Vash takes a few snowballs to the chest then covers his arms around his head.] Ah! I'm under attack!

I must return fire! [He crouches down to gather up some snow and throws a snowball at the child's chest. Carefully aimed to not hit the face or be too rough either.]

[lostlegacy]

[Sophie giggles.]

Gotcha!

[As soon as that snowball hits her in the chest, she beats a strategic retreat to what she thinks is going to be out of his range to rearm. (It isn't remotely out of his range.)]

[goldenglasses]

[It is not even close to being out of his range, but Vash acts like it is. Stopping to make a few snowballs before moving to close the gap.] Ready or not, here I come!

[lostlegacy]

[The giggles rise as she flings one of the snowballs she made in his general direction and turns tail again. But given she doesn't want to get too far away, her flight is in a rather circular direction.]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash lets the snowball burst against his body before taking after the fleeing child. Throwing a couple snowballs at her retreat.]

You better watch out! Because I'm a scary outlaw who's going to bury the hero in snow!

[lostlegacy]

[Oh no! She's been attacked in the knee!]

No, I'm gonna bury you!

[Another snowball goooo!]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash takes the snowball and clutches at his chest if it hit there or not.] Oh no! I've been hit! How could I not see through such a clever trick!

[He falls backwards and sends a bit of snow flying as he lands on the ground.] Oh no! Now I'm defenseless!

[lostlegacy]

[Excellent. Incoming giggling tackle from five-year-old!]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash takes the tackle full force and rolls about with the tiny tot on top of him.] Oh no! What will I do! Maybe... tickling is here weakness!

[He raises his hands in a 'menacing' manner then sets his wiggling fingers on the attack! Going for the usual tickle spots like the stomach, airpits, and under the chin.]

[lostlegacy]

[The stomach and armpits are pretty well fortified, given her guardians made sure she was bundled up before going outside, but under the chin? That's another story.

Her giggles get louder as she bats at his hands and, er, kicks her heels. Watch out?]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash takes the kick to the stomach. It winds him and his tickling slows, but he keeps on smiling like it didn't bother him at all.]

I am defeated! What will the hero Sophie do now? She won't make me eat broccoli will she?!

[lostlegacy]

[Sophie squirms away from his tickling long enough to say:] Maybe. Or spinach!

[She's merciless, she knows.]

[goldenglasses]

Oh no! Not spinach! Please, Hero Sophie! Have a heart! I promise to change my evil ways! Honest I will!

[lostlegacy]

Yeah?

[That's a lot of skepticism, there. Sophie, you're such a cynic.]

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, I do! Cross my heart and hope to die!

[lostlegacy]

[She sits back.]

Okay. You don't hafta eat spinach. Or broccoli.

[Never let it be said she isn't merciful.]

[goldenglasses]

Ahhh! Such a big, sweet heart you have! I'm so glad I don't have to eat spinach or broccoli!

...except when an adult tells me I have to in order to grow up strong, right? [This may be a hint at you tiny child.]

[lostlegacy]

Yeah.

[She knows the right answer to this, but it doesn't mean she has to like it.]

[goldenglasses]

Just what I would expect from a good hero! Of course, right now is not dinner time! Do you think we could celebrate my turning away from evil to good with some hot chocolate?

[lostlegacy]

[She perks right up.]

Yeah!

[Now that's more like it!]

[goldenglasses]

Alright then! [Vash jumps up to his feet and peers around for whoever might be watching Sophie at the moment. Making sure they see that he's got the kid and she hasn't just wondered off.

Once he gets a wave from them he'll take the girl's hand.] Let's go find that drink!

[lostlegacy]

[Even though she's totally a big girl who doesn't need to hold hands, she still latches on. Living with Grune, you get used to that sort of thing.]

Okay! [She punches the air.] Charge!

[goldenglasses]

[Vash matches her punch in the air with his free arm.] CHAAAAARGE! [He'll make as if to run to the cafe, but making sure he's only taking little Sophie sized strides instead of the big long ones he could take.]

[lostlegacy]

[Wow that was loud but look, she's keeping up with an adult, and a tall one at that. She's awesome at running.

She also has yet to stop smiling. This is a great day.]

[goldenglasses]

[The best runner ever! Vash holds the door open for her once they reach Seventh Heaven.] Waiter! We need your best table and some hot chocolate!

Oh wait, I work here! [He turns to Sophie with a bow.] Right this lay, my lady! I'll take you to our best table!
