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.

Comments

"I met him before," she replied somewhat succinctly, her memories of the day fairly vivid and easy to recollect. At the time, she'd seen familiarity in his face, though she couldn't understand where from. And perhaps that was her intuition speaking up, but she got the impression there was more that he wasn't being upfront about.

Looking over to her son, her gaze switched between the bird he held so carefully to him with that reverence of his, and his face. But she looked thoughtful.

"Tell me, when you look at him, do you notice anything?" And she was fairly certain Connor didn't. Wouldn't. He hardly noticed anything that didn't have to do with his work. It was unlikely that he would have taken note of anything in particular.

[mohawk_tomahawk]

He shot a look at Eirik before speaking. A look acknowledging he was being teased. It was an off putted, nervous look. A slightly flustered look. He didn't blame himself for typing so bad, he never had a computer GEEZ! He wasn't much for humor and did take everything seriously, yes. But no...he knew that was light hearted enough to not get really insulted over. He felt silly though.

"...I as well," he admitted. "I have a computer so you are also free to use it. Use anything here as you see fit."

He turned to Eirik for a moment.

"Desmond will be staying here for at least while, he is a friend," Connor spoke with no hesitance. Weird, but...friends he guessed???

[mohawk_tomahawk]

Maybe not how you would put it, Ziio. Maybe not exactly.

Never forget, as naive as Connor was and will be for a long time yet, he did have your intuition. Detail was not beyond him at all. When he felt there was something pin-pointing at him, he could notice it.

It took him a second to register the question however, as if to try to just piece his thoughts together and put it all into consideration.

She met him she said. So did she know something he didn't? This conversation was now interesting. More so. And honestly, he was hungry for that info.

"You speak of Desmond then?"

You did, right?

"Desmond seemed like...an odd sort. But for some reason when we first met, I felt a-" Pause. Finding the word. "A kinship. Like he had a familiar air. That I could trust him. I had not known him long, but I had considered him to be a friend."

[nottheproblem]

Ziio nodded slowly, but found herself rendered quiet some moments longer. Perhaps Connor knew more than she did. Perhaps she knew more than he. Who knew more seemed to be irrelevant and unnecessary. Only that information ought to have been shared at some point in time. Provided either of them even had any, for to be fair, she was reasonably certain he didn't. He sounded as perplexed as she felt.

"I did not know his name," she confessed. "At least not so directly. Only that I had met him. At least, as much as I imagine it must be him. I cannot think of someone else who matches the description." Then as Connor continued, she found herself looking back at him with interest.

"I felt the same, however. The first time I saw his face, I thought I saw something I had seen before. And I thought it frequently many times after. There is something about him, but I don't know what."

Clear was sure to begin helping, not at all the time to hang around and idle. He snagged the graham crackers from a cabinet and just as quickly located some small, square-shaped chocolate bars, perfect for s'mores. Yeah, he hit the jackpot.

"Pancake breakfasts? Ooh, Zelda-san! I can cook those!" He looked to her with pleading eyes, approaching with the extra ingredients and dropped them on the counter. He had to find the kitchen shears to get these bad boys open.

"Could I... Could I help with the pancake breakfasts? Maybe?"

Bowser is hax

[ihateplumbers]

[punchtheboner]

"Now that would be something. Though I'm sure we'd take over the place if we brought everyone along hehe."

Mawrow figured, no one's cooler than Red team after all right?!

[punchthedoritos]

"That would be so great! Because no matter where we went, there would be family to spend time with."

Now just line the whole school with pillows and turn every second room into a cafeteria and there you had Sonny Moe heaven.

[rivalthunderbolts]

Jolt took the hit to the back, laughing all the while. "Looks like you've got a mutiny on your hands there, shaggy!" he teased, preparing another snowball.

[cowardlyjustice]

"Well, it's a bit more... modern than the traditional concept, but it's good- pretty cool actually!" Brown marveled at the sight, admittedly a bit terrified on the prospects of that massive quantity of snow falling on his person.

"T... though you might wanna cut back on the stacks next time, yeah? It might fall and someone might've get hurt," he said when he turned his direction to Vivian.

[magicdancer]

She nodded. "I don't quite get it... But that's still neat!"

She just enjoyed the warmth coming from Pyro Jack for a bit there. "I'm so used to tropical weather," she admitted. "It's been a while since I've seen snow!"

[vela_nova]

Yeah, Falcon wasn't all that helpful.

"What about something personal? I don't know how serious you are, but maybe she'd like that..."

yells at him

[thereyouare]

Excitement filled her to the brim, an overwhelming type of data that could only consume the human brain over her robotic spirit. Vivian was so pleased with his response to her results that she couldn't even stop smiling with his following warning. It staggered a bit, but she was content.

"Hurt someone..." Well, she couldn't have him getting hurt, seeing as he was the only one around, so!

"I'll help." I'm sorry, Brown, but this little girl is going to make a good attempt to try and carry you - over her head. "I will protect you." Yeah!

[punchtheboner]

"Family." Mawrow repeated, a big smile setting on her face before she finished off the last of her food.

"It feels great you know. La familia being together like this."

[blazebottom]

Riwane laughed happily, chucking a few more snowballs wide in a strafing motion as she dipped low to scoop up some more snow in mid-flight.

"All's fair in love an' war~!"

[punchthedoritos]

"It is really great. You would of loved it when Koko and Euphie were here. And Ellis. And Chika." Sonny replied. "I still hope one day they want to come back."

[jonny_talbain]

"It's no bother - I can take you both." he replied, intending to do just that.

...though he might have gone just a little easier on Riwane than he did on Jolt with his next volley of hurriedly scooped and packed projectiles. Just a little.

this is dumbly short i'm real sorry

[cplusplus]

Chihiro was hesitant in accepting the embrace, but his sniffles grew louder without his permission. He didn't have anything to say, couldn't really. Anything coming out from his mouth at this point would soon be drowned by uncontrollable sobs, so he continued to be silent, with only his sniffles and small sobs be any indication that he was still an emotional mess.

Slowly, his hand reached for Clear's arm and clutched it as hard as he could.

[cowardlyjustice]

"I'm still sick of lookin' at snow," he admitted with a laugh. "My school before here was snowed in for awhile, so I was hopin' fall had lasted longer."

At least they weren't stuck inside, that he was rather thankful of.

[raced_god]

Imagine if you will, dear readers, one Captain Falcon dangling precariously from an upside-down clown copter that could not possibly be vomiting the steel ball that it was and also how was Bowser even fitting in there?

The expletives were heard across the land, to say nothing of how silly his kicky feet looked as he dangled.

he's really dumb i'm sorry

[cowardlyjustice]

Brown yelped when he realized he was being carried by the small girl. But initial surprise disappears rather quick, he awkwardly called to her; "hey, uh... you, I'm totally fine- me, I can protect myself. It's totally and completely okay!"

Now that he said that, he had realized; he hadn't actually know this weird, albeit strangely cute, girl's name...

[reservedempath]

"Some... time ago Cyrus was attempting to use Dana, I think. You remember her, right? Dialga. And I think he wanted to use Bob, as well. He tried to replicate... uhm... some kind of chain. I think the legend was supposed to be some kind of power to recreate the world." Voile shook her head, "The issue is that I've known of Cyrus's true intents for some time. That man wants to become a god and he wants to wipe emotional sentiment off the face of this world, or whatever world it is he becomes the emperor of."

But he quickly turned her mind back onto the stone she was the fortunate recipient of, "Perhaps his gift was a means of bribing me. He knows what I'm capable of, after all, and very few people here actually understand the extent of what I can do. I mean to keep it that way, otherwise no one would actually trust me."

With one arm occupied by his, she motioned idly with the other, "But yes. Evidently a fourth form. I think, anyway. We'll find out if Phoenix ever decides to use it on me. As it stands, I have no idea. I'll be sure to tell you all about it if he does."

[inspirethefire]

Even if he'd been too busy with his desperate shivering to witness the perfect show, Hajime did at least manage to notice when the movement came to a stop, and parse the meaning that they were on solid ground. He didn't dismount Jock as much as he let go of the fur and drift towards the blessedly firm ground.

Air burned frozen in his lungs, brain trying to jumpstart back to matters of importance but weighed down with the shock of still being alive. They had to-- he needed to-- he was so cold. Unable to process further, Hajime curled up underneath his two saviors, attempted and successful alike.

[inspirethefire]

"The thought does warm me." He inspected the packet before pocketing it for later. "You've got a bit more of a percussive method of it than I might employ, though."

[cowardlyjustice]

"Shucks, though I prefer the term 'charming' more, if you will."

Regardless how friendly and good natured he is, he's still considerably obnoxious.
