Who: YOU
What: SNOW
When: DECEMBER 6th
Where: EVERYWHERE
WHAT: SNOW (BONUS TREE DECORATING)

As a quiet Friday dawned on the school's campus, one could perhaps...feel it in the air. A creeping chill, a silent, barely-detectable indication that yes. Tonight would be the night.



By Saturday morning, the entire academy would be covered in snow.

BUT WAIT



That wasn't all--a large pine tree had made an appearance on the main quad, in desperate need of decoration.

Zelda fixed Clear with a look that said really? Then again, he was fairly new to the school, and she supposed it was considerate, in a way. She also knew that money spent on electric bills wasn't even on Master Hand's radar.

She offered Clear a wry smile. "I'm the RA, so I'm in charge as long as we're in the student dorms, and I say it's perfectly fine to make s'mores over the stove.

[kuragekasa]

To be honest, even if he wasn't fairly new, he probably would have asked something similar anyway. Clear's heart was in the right place, even if his mind wasn't necessarily so. At any rate, the answer was just the one he hoped to hear, so that was some good progress right there!

"Then... Then we must start making s'mores immediately! Let's go, let's go!" He excitably tugged at her wrist, wasting no time in dragging her down the hallway with child-like glee. "We can roast the marshmallows, and then we can put them on graham crackers, and- and then we can put chocolate inside, and- and- and we could top each one with marshmallow fluff and chocolate syrup! Maybe chocolate shavings, too?"

He clearly lacked a sweet tooth.

I THOUGHT I TRACKED THIS BLUUUGHHH

[glazedandconfused]

Aoi was quick to join him, jumping in to help roll the snowball as it got too big and heavy to roll by oneself. SOON. Soon they would have more beautiful additions to their army.

"We should find some hats and things to put on them," she suggested.

[heartofarapier]

Eirik nodded in agreement when Connor spoke up for them both, because he pretty much hit the nail on the head. There was no need to be specific about times, considering the week between them was effectively done away with when she had disappeared to Magvel for what appeared a fortnight to him.

"Connor and I once talked about technology and when we first met, I would tease him about his atrocious typographical skills," Eirika smiled brightly as she glanced over to Connor. She was sure he'd remember, for he wasn't one much for humour in those days. Not that he was in the present either, but he was better about it.

"I find your offer very kind and would gladly take you up on it if there's anything I require assistance with." Although she had her own doubts about Connor ever asking for help. That just didn't seem like a thing he'd do.

And then Bowser had to inhale because even though he can breathe in outerspace, he still is breathing in outer space. He can't not breathe.

Probably.

Anyway, then the fire stopped happening.

"Yes, thank you," said Apple Kid. "A safety mechanism seems to be in order," he replied. "So that it can only shoot at non-sentient entities, such as trees or walls or festive holiday table-settings."

Re: And especially on the battle field.

[rivalthunderbolts]

Jolt thought very carefully about the challenge. Then he carefully considered a response.

He grabbed himself two snowballs and lobbed them one for each.

[ninjaprincess]

CLEAR. CLEAR CALM DOWN. You were at the mercy of whatever was in the RA fridge and cupboards. Which, granted, were pretty well stocked, but perhaps not with all of the ingredients that he was spouting off.

"We'll go to the RA suite and see what we have, all right?"

[raced_god]

AH YES there was his chance. His chance to use his excessive upper body strength to hoist at least half of himself over the rim of the clown car. Then, he gazed into the hammerspace abyss that resided within and promptly went mad

Still half-in, half-out of the clown car, Falcon attempts to SWING A PUNCH.

[blazebottom]

Maybe by luck, or skill, Riwane had ducked out of the way of the throw just as she had begun to pack a snowball of her own.

"Seems like it! Let's git this party started!"

[punchtheboner]

"I've browsed some of it, yes. There's so many it's hard to decide where ta start mijo. But I'll be making sure I look through them again before school starts so I can have everything set in stone."

After all, she wanted to become more knowledgable and experienced so she could help the team.

[cowardlyjustice]

"Nah, all cold exteriors melt at some point 's all," Brown explained nonchalantly with a grin. He signed Hajime to wait as he dug into his pockets to fished out a peculiar packet of ointment,

"A Tadashi Pharmacy specialty, should clear your bruises in an instant," which he lightly toss to the other boy.

[cowardlyjustice]

Wow that was. Pretty brutal.

"Alright, alright coach, I know when I'm beaten," Brown moaned in defeat.

[cowardlyjustice]

That was certainly a gap of character, he thought. But, he also figured maybe that was how she usually is, so he shrugged it off. Can't say he knew her or anything, but he has seen her around once in awhile when he thought about.

"Sure thing, the general look is just balls of snow stacked together," he said as he made a small example with two snowballs; the slightly smaller was soon placed on top of the other that was on Brown's palm. "See, now we'll just make a bigger one with three snow balls stacked together."

[kuragekasa]

"Yes, yes! Okay!" Clear was just about ready to start dragging her off again, his energy boundless, yet as quickly as he began, he froze. His head whipped to and fro, eyes catching the numerous sights of the hallway around him, and...

"... Zelda-san? Where is the RA suite?"

Yeah. That'd be a little helpful.

[reservedempath]

"That's a good point. I doubt he'd be holing himself up in your room when there's snow to go play in. Or the weight room. I'm under the impression that he spends most of his time there, ever eager to keep his reputation pristine." Most muscular man in the academy went to Max without a second thought.

When she heard how enthused he was getting over something as simple as hot chocolate (though she secretly had a great fondness for the miniature marshmallows that they came with), it was impossible to keep her smile from growing.

"That sounds like a good plan. If you lead, Sonny, I will follow." Because when it occurred to her, truly occurred, she was often the follower, and she didn't mind it in the least.

[insanecharisma]

Soryk shook his head. "I really have no interest in gifts or presents. Material things mean very little to me." No shame in admitting it either. Did he really have anything that had value? Two things, he supposed. His hair ribbon and his engagement ring, which was- as of the present -completely a trinket with very little meaning.

But once, they'd both held their weight in reality.

"I suppose if we want to be practical, I could use a crossbow. Annoying beasts in the woods are competitors for the plants that I am after. A new crossbow would be useful in eradicating them."

[punchthedoritos]

"I'll make sure to make a list of the classes I'm in so if you want to take some classes I'm in, you'll know which ones!"

[punchthedoritos]

"OK! I'll lead." he said, keeping hold of her arm and starting on the short trek back to his dorm.

"So, how's everything with your trainer?" he asked as they walked. It had been a long time since they'd spoken about Mr. Phoenix Wright. "Does he enjoy the Holidays?"

[jonny_talbain]

Jon, however, WAS pelted. Because he didn't fear your snowballs, Jolt. He didn't fear being hit by your little snowballs.

Everyone knew it was quality that counted. Not quantity.

"I'd not call it a party. However, it may well turn into a gathering of family and friends commonly known as a funeral." he said with a predatory grin. His ears were perked and his nose flared again just before he leapt the wall in the direction of their assailant, firing his well packed snowball with considerable force.

[vela_nova]

"Well, what does she like?"

[raced_god]

"Good," he replied, feeling ABSOLUTELY NO REMORSE FOR THE EVENTS THAT JUST TRANSPIRED.

So cold.

[nottheproblem]

She didn't get it. Or more to say that she didn't understand. But she knew there was something more and more than one when he'd looked at her, she saw something vaguely familiar. Perhaps in his features. Something changed in time, however. People always evolved and experienced differences as they aged. Society was really no different.

Eying him somewhat skeptically, but wholly curious, she was quiet when she addressed him. And as if to gauge his response, she tried to speak to him as though he was genuinely her child. "Who are you really, Desmond Miles?"

SO, YOU LIKE TO PLAY SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE!

[rivalthunderbolts]

Jolt was finally spotted. He jumped back, just dodging the snowballs Jon flung at him and chucking his own right back. "You've gotta catch me first!" the sparkledog taunted with a big grin.

[magicdancer]

"What is it?" Shantae asked curiously, lifting a hand to poke at the pumpkin headed creature. "Is it some kind of guardian spirit or something?"
