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.

[Luke's on the move for a better position, but he does get clipped by the snowball. The flash was a tip off that something was going to happen and he wanted to be behind cover. His little Oort cloud of snowballs moved with him too...]

[spellfeather]

Come back here you! [She's going to try and keep you from getting away Luke, with another pelting of snowballs conjured up with a little bit of magic. But she's only making one at a time for each hand this time around, but she is dispersing them as fast as her arms will allow her to.]

[thefinaljedi]

[Some of them hit him, of course. Others are intercepted by his own snowballs.]

Hey! What did I say about cheating!

[As he complains though, he's balling up a huge snowball right behind her with the Force...]

[spellfeather]

Like I said, magic's not cheating! It's just using what I have to my advantage! [She's certainly not going to notice what's behind her until it's too late.]

[thefinaljedi]

Well then, why don't you have a look behind you!

[Wumph! As he says this, a gigantic, soft snowblob drops out of nowhere onto her head.]

[spellfeather]

Wha-? [She tries to whip herself around in time to see the huge snowball, but alas, the haste spell she had going on worked against her this round, as she trips over her own feet right as the snowball nails her, sending her to the ground.

She lays there for a moment before lifting up a hand, index finger pointed toward the sky as snow gathers in a rectangular shape to the side of it. She waves her makeshift white flag.]

[thefinaljedi]

[And Luke meanders over to her and offers a hand up.]

Gotcha.

[spellfeather]

[She dismisses her makeshift flag before taking Luke's offer, all while wiping snow off her head.]

Haha, wow, I did not expect a favorite of mine to be used against me! [Back at home, she was infamous for the gigantic snowballs she could conjure up.]

[thefinaljedi]

Well, you'll find I'm full of surprises.

[Luke laughs and hikes her back to her feet.]

I'm Luke, by the way. Luke Skywalker.

[spellfeather]

Isn't everyone? [She dusts any remaining snow off of her once she's back on her feet.]

Pleasure to meet you Luke. I'm Karis Renel.

[thefinaljedi]

Same to you, Karis.

[He lets go of the Force, letting his snowballs shower down around them.]

Some sort of mage?

[spellfeather]

That's right! A spellslinger to be specific. [One that isn't currently carrying her usual channels at the moment.]

I take it your one as well? Or something more Psi based?

[thefinaljedi]

No, I'm no mage. My power comes from the Force, I'm a Jedi Knight.

[He's obviously trying to gauge her reaction, wondering if the term is familiar.]

[spellfeather]

[It's nowhere near familiar, and now you've got yourself a baffled Karis on your hands, Luke.]

Jedi Knight? I've never heard of such before.

[thefinaljedi]

Ah well.

[He shrugs.]

We're an order of peacekeepers in my galaxy. Some people know about us, others don't. It's just easier to ask.

[spellfeather]

[Yaaaaay, someone else to share intergalactic woes with. Maybe.

Peacekeeper? Karis wasn't sure what to think of that, but it makes her a tad bit wary.]

Sounds like a tough job. [At least, compared to hers.]

[thefinaljedi]

It is at times. We're rebuilding after the Rebel Alliance finally managed to push the Empire out of power, so there's a lot of work to do.

[That doesn't make Luke himself any less of a wanted man by the Imperials. Look at that Karis, common ground!]

[spellfeather]

[Common ground and hope really. Hearing that an empire was pushed out of power sparked a hope that such a thing could happen in her own world, and it glinted in her eyes.]

I'll certainly take your word for it! [But now one thing crosses her mind that she can't help but be curious about.]

How long did it take for them to accomplish that though? Overthrowing the power of an empire is rather difficult.

[thefinaljedi]

Heh, the Rebellion started at least fifteen years ago. We didn't get real traction until ten, and the Imperial Remnant is still out there, though we control the seat of government now.

It's funny to think, really. that we're the ones in charge now.

[spellfeather]

And it's amazing! To turn things around like that, especially in such a short amount of time. [To her, fifteen years is short, but that's because she's comparing it to her predicament, at least, the one on her planet.]

[thefinaljedi]

I wouldn't call it short.

[Or easy. Or...cost efficient. But it's certainly something.]

Is this something you can relate to?

[spellfeather]

To a certain extent, yes. [The thought of what was going on in her world always made her frown, especially with the last thing she remembers before arriving in Luceti.]

There's a corrupt, galatic empire where I'm from that needs to be reformed. There have been some small battles with them here and there with those from the free space territory, but all of those were on an individual basis. It wasn't until recently that the idea of them joining together to take on that empire rather than going about our own separate ways was suggested. [She hoped that such would come to being one day.]

Essentially, we'll only be at the start of organizing ourselves for war after who knows how many decades. [The space pirates have been around for quite some time now.]

[thefinaljedi]

That's how rebellions begin, you know. In our case, a group of senators united us after the Emperor disbanded the Senate.

[And destroyed a whole planet.]

Given time, and a lot of work I'm sure you'll manage the same thing. If we can, you certainly can.

[spellfeather]

Yeah, I just wish I could also inform my fellow crew members of this. It's a real emotional pick-me-up kind of thing to hear, at least, it has been for me. [She definitely has a flame of hope burning much brighter in her now than before.]

They could certainly use it. [Especially after what they had recently gone through.]

[thefinaljedi]

Well, you will get to in good time.

[He smiles encouragingly]

Once we find our way out of here.
