Snow

Who: Everyone
What: Snow day
Where: Campus
When: December 2nd-3rd
Warnings: Snow

[The weather outside is cold. More than below freezing. It was only a matter of time then.

By tomorrow, the entire campus will be covered in a tiny layer of white.]

[[OOC - There will be a thread for one specific time; 14:23. Those that wish to catch the first snowflake can fight for it there! Please note that apart from the fact it has 7 sides, and doesn't seem to melt, the snowflake does not hold special powers. Otherwise, start threads as you see fit.]]

"Alright." With their master plan set in motion, Samus was back down on her haunches, not sure how she was so readily accepting to do this but it was SO HARD TO SAY NO to cute children.

So she scraped together the ball Amp had already started and rolled it around in the snow a little more until it was about the size of a ~~morph~~ basket ball. "Like this?"

Amp continued to roll up her own fresh, new little snowball. She got it to a bit of a smaller size, at least decent enough to prevent the snowman from horribly falling apart in front of their eyes. She nodded. "Yeah, yeah! That looks great, chu! Hold on!"

She then placed her snowball on top of Samus's, and bam, they had the general shape of a snowman! "Now we just have to put stuff on him to make eyes, chu! Are there old leaves around?" Maybe old, crumpled leaves would still do a good job for eyes. Maybe buttons and a mouth, too.

"Hmmm..." Samus scanned the ground for leaves but only found cold, snow-covered grass and dirt. Next she rummaged through her jacket pockets, not yielding anything more than pocket lint. Maybe her pants pocket...

"Ah." From her back pants pocket, she pulled out a very old lighter (http://community.livejournal.com/sbg_logs/395357.html?thread=18997853#t18997853). One that had probably been through the wash one too many times to work, even if it had any fluid left inside. "I have this." She showed Amp and gave it a few clicks. As expected, no fire. "We could take it apart if you want, it doesn't work anymore."

"Oooooh hey, hey, that's a good idea! We can shave off some metal for the eyes, and then we can take the fluid dispenser and make it a mouth, chu!" As for a nose... "Then we can use the rest to make a nose!"

This snowman might wind up armless and clothes-less, but oh well.

Samus noted that while Amp had... concentration difficulties in her classes, she was very good at dismantling things and admired her creativity in this situation. However, since Amp was covered in gloves and other things, Samus took the initiative to take apart the lighter and all it's tiny components using her finger nails.

"Here's the metal flame shield, the flint wheel, the spring, the button... The wheel would make a good eye, right?"

"Hey, it would! Oh, and look!" Amp carefully lifted up the tiny spring and held it up to Samus's eye-view. "The spring could be a good nose! It would, right? Now we just need a mouth and another eye!"

She was going to go ahead in the meantime and stick the spring into the center of the snowman's head. It held pretty well, thankfully, and it looked kind of funny.

Samus felt a small smile creeping on her face, and gave the little spring nose a flick. She put the wheel on for one eye and the flame shield on for the other. The eyes were disproportionate in size but that was okay.

"For a mouth..." She looked down at what was left of the lighter and that was basically just the plastic case. She put it on which resulted in a face that looked something like:

8|

"...this?"

Amp clapped enthusiastically. She didn't even find anything wrong with that really... blank-looking expression on the snowman, nor did she find an issue with the eyes. It looked just right, even if it wasn't really perfect.

"It looks great, it looks great! Now... hold on, it's not ready yet!"

She then decided to remove her scarf and wrap it around the snowman's neck. Now, she thought, it was complete.

"There we go, chu! Now he won't get too cold!" Uh. "... I mean... he'll be comfy, chu!"

"He looks comfy." Samus added, admiring their little collaborative effort.

"He sure does!"

Of course, though, there was just another tradition that Amp always wanted to try out for the snow. She suddenly fell onto her back. No, she hasn't passed out or anything! She was actually moving her arms and legs back and forth. Was she making a snow angel? Yes, yes she was. She was making it right next to the snowman.

She rose up from the snow and turned around to admire her work. "There!" She placed her hands on her hips. "Now the snowman has a friend, chu!"

That was another tradition Samus had no real experience with. So, of course without any warning or explanation she thought Amp had passed out for some reason and... oh okay she was moving.

Was she having a seizure--ah, oh wait. Oh.

"..." Samus squinted at the imprints (http://image52.webshots.com/152/6/52/16/516865216XHDaNt_fs.jpg) left in the snow by the girl.

"What is it?"

"It's a snow angel!" Amp informed her. She began to point at the different 'appendages' on the form of it. "Those are the wings, and that's the dress! I... think!" That's what it looked like, at the very least.

"I think you could make a good one!"

Snow. Angel. She could. Kind of see it. Maybe with more squinting.

Samus did not particularly want to flop on the ground and embrace the cold snow. "...Probably."

"Then try it!"

PWETTY PWEASE, SAMUS?? HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY RESIST THOSE EYES.

Okay she would honestly give up if Samus really didn't want to, but still.

THOSE EYES. Well. If the objective was to make an angel shape in the snow then...

Samus crouched down and traced out the shape of something vaguely resembling the silhouette of an angel in the snow... with her finger.

"Like that?"

That would do quite nicely.

"That looks perfect! Drawing it in the snow? I didn't think of that, chu!"

Amp then decided to do one last thing: tracing a little Pikachu in the snow next to the angel. It was very shoddily done, but oh well.

"And... there! We're done!"

Ha ha yes she was so damn clever sometimes. Amp's reaction however tugged on those heartstrings. Samus could definitely tell that was a Pikachu.

"Now our snowman has three friends."

"He sure does! It's all thanks to you helping me, chu!"

Hey Samus, I hope you like Pikachu hugs, because guess what? ONE'S COMING FOR YOU. BRACE YOURSELF. "Thanks a ton!"

BRACE FAILED. For such a tiny girl, she gave quite an energetic hug. Samus stood there, tense and slightly awkward as if she forgot how hugs worked for a moment. After a few seconds she did relax a little however, and patted the other blonde on the head.

"You're welcome."

No one is ever prepared for Pikahugs.

Seriously, though, now Amp was more than satisfied and ready to go inside for something... warm. She didn't know what, but something. Maybe hot chocolate from the student kitchen would be good.

"I'm gonna go inside! Thanks again for playing with me!" Amp released her and waved, ready to go.

"Sure thing." Samus gave a little wave and watched her run off for warmer sanctuaries, then turned her attention back to the tiny, lumpy snowman with his gormless face and his three friends. The bounty hunter realized they would probably be gone tomorrow... either melted, covered under more snow, or accidentally stepped on.

Click.

With the image preserved in her phone's camera, and the experience preserved in her memory, Samus went back to her own business, not feeling a need to go indoors to feel warm.
