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

[ihateplumbers]

That's okay, Falcon. Because Bowser has another snowman to drop on top of you.

And he's doing it right now.

Only, this one's full of rocks.

[punchthedoritos]

"Th-Thank you, Your Burliness!" Sonny replied, actually more than a little ecstatic about being told he was an important member of the team.

One day?

One day. He was probably going to get a raise. Or a promotion. Or a company car. Then he could be a playable character in Mario Kart 9 or 34 or whatever.

[wassa_matta_you]

Oh shit.

Desmond admittedly was caught off guard to hear his voice rise over that intense silence. He felt swept up in the moment, almost forgetting what he had approached for.

"Er, yeah. I'm trying to find someone's room. You work here?"

or are you just some majestic manly hobo on campus

[tacohat]

At the sight of the blade, Haytham reacted immediately, pouncing back onto the man to grab his wrist and force his hidden blade to point somewhere harmless. And then he ejected his own hidden blade to hold down very close to Desmond's throat.

"Ah, I suppose this means you must be an Assassin. Or just a well-armed fool," he remarked, pressing a knee down onto Desmond's stomach in case he wanted to squirm away.

[ninjaprincess]

"Oh...!"

Zelda did her very best to prevent any spillage on her part, though she did find it difficult through all of Clear's affections, and a negligible amount of her own hot chocolate managed to spill over the rim.

"Careful!"

[glazedandconfused]

"Great! Come on, let's go!"

AND SO they were off, traversing the snowy landscape in the direction from whence Aoi had come, where there was already a small army of snowmen in the making. She raised a hand in greeting and waved.

"Sakura! I brought Fujisaki!"

[kuragekasa]

"Ah...?" Clear parted from her for a moment, only to see that chocolate was dripping down the darling white mug, something that brought his hands to his lips with a horrified gasp.

"Aaah! I'm so sorry, Zelda-san! Here, here, um... I'll clean it up, um..."

He started removing various items from his pockets - from a swirly-looking, empty bottle to a fishy floatie (?!) - before finally producing an adorable, tiny handkerchief.

"Here we are! Uuu... I should have been more careful..." He whined softly as he started dabbing carefully at the warm mug, hopefully not too hot from flimsy material. Surely these were ceramic as opposed to, say, weak porcelain, right?

[oogremi]

Sakura returned the wave, giving them both a smile. "Good. Construction on our army of snow can truly begin."

As though it hadn't begun before. This army just needed three generals to live up to it's true potential. She scooped up a handful of snow, shaping it into a ball and handing it to Chihiro.

"Shall we?"

[paletteknife]

Boff.

Or some other sound effect signifying lumps of snow hitting a poofy jacket and partially exploding.

Mary utter an 'eep!' in surprise, jumping back from her own giant snowball. No fair, throwing surprise snowballs like that! Whoever it was was going to get whined at big time.

...Or not. As soon as Mary saw Milimili, her face lit up excitedly. "Oh! It's you! Hiii!"

[forgetbeam]

Good thing Kiyotaka was totally going to pull him to safety with no problems or any--

CRACK

[forgetbeam]

He crossed his arms and subconsciously leaned in toward Mondo, because another human being's body heat was a lot nicer than the cold air around the window.

"Well, first thing in the morning before classes begin we'll go outside and properly enjoy it!"

Killjoy.

Oh I'm so glad

[notstevejobs]

Apple Kid took out his over-sized hair dryer, and pointed it at the tree. He turned it on. A sound like a high-powered car engine began. Tinsel started shooting out of it and spraying on the tree, festooning its branches with silver streamers.

Over the sound Apple Kid shouted, "IT WORKS LIKE THIS."

[cowardlyjustice]

Well... on the level of insanities of this school, he should have at least expected something like that.

Brown emerged from the corner he had hide and hold up a peace sign, "I come in total peace and traditional wintry fun."

[raced_god]

As tempting as it would have been to answer with something along the lines of 'no, I just enjoy watching the children', Falcon had a bit more sense than to try and joke around with someone he'd never met, in the event that someone was a crazy person. Desmond didn't seem like a crazy person, but you never really knew.

"Yeah, I do."

Little did Desmond know, he was in the presence of King Hobo himself.

"Who are you looking for?"

[raced_god]

Okay, so melting the snow through sheer force of manly will only got Falcon so far, and he dug himself out the old fashioned way, just in time to see the looming shadow of Bowser's stupid little clown copter and another impending snowman.

He managed to extricate himself in time, ducking and rolling to the side as the rock-filled projectile crashed into the ground. This would not do. Falcon was quick to pull out his pew pew gun, firing laser bolts in the general direction of Bowser's face.

[luneshalla]

"Houndoom," she repeated in thought as she looked over the creature.

The latter comment made her smirk just as she took a nice, long sip of her mug. "Counterproductive to health hm? I must be the detereoration of body then due to loving these things~" she mused with a light chuckle.

[punchtheboner]

"I'm sorry, I just don't do guys who fall apart at my passionate embrace mijo~"

Mawrow took aim and swung her bone right at the snowball making it explode into a flurry of white while laughing out loud heartily.

We've been infiltrated!

[blazebottom]

Unaware of the spy that had made it through the non-existent defenses, Riwane raised an eyebrow at Jon and laughed. "Ain't Ah jus' tha best? Like a nice warm an' cozy campfire. Too bad we ain't got no marshmallows or this'd be too perfect." she giggled as she swayed her tail back and forth.

am cry

[mohawk_tomahawk]

Okay let's address HIS side of the story then. You know as he...glares at Desmond's direction. The moment he's done, Desmond better explain himself. And it better be good. Because Connor was sure this didn't make him happy. At all. Before then, he was feeling fine. Now he wasn't.

"This is a Rufflet. One of the creatures in this land. I found him in our hunt."

The bird on the Assassin's shoulder ruffled his feathers, okay cool attention onto him for a second.

"It was badly injured in the snow and I escorted him to a doctor. He cannot fly for some time...until spring perhaps. I will be caring for him until then."

Living with no rent is pretty sweet.

[punchthedoritos]

"Aw, but he's a really nice guy! You can scoop bits of him up and add flavor to it to make snow cones." Sonny observed. What more could you want in a man?

OOPS Marrowak evaded the attack! Sonny started scooping up another one.

"It's a shame I can't learn Avalanche as a move - I think that could win any snowball fight!" he said cheekily, chucking the next one.

When they notice him, the MGS !!! noise should play.

[jonny_talbain]

"I've always thought you were the best." he said, leaning in to plant a little smooch on her cheek. (Hey, they were inside a snow fort and what grownups do in the privacy of their own snow forts was their own business. ...right?)

"Next time, I'll be sure to bring some along. I'll even make you some of that Cocoa you like so well. And a steak for myself - I'm sure your built in campfire could do a nice T-Bone justice."

I'm still in a dream, SNAKE EATER

[rivalthunderbolts]

Oh Jon. You thought you had some privacy?

Nope. You didn't. Jolt was secretly privy to that sneaked little smooch. Fortunately the Jolteon had enough honor that he waited until after he was done to sneakily lob a snowball at the back of his head and dart away.

[ninjaprincess]

"Please don't trouble yourself! It's fine, it barely spilled, see?"

With that, she held her mug up (out of his reach), at the same time showing him that there was minimal spillage. Through it all, Zelda tried her best to keep her voice calm, hoping to prevent his panicking.

"Don't worry! Just enjoy your drink."

Re: kyaputen farukon is here. for you.

[vela_nova]

Blaze wore a long violet coat with a scarf, hands stuffed in her pockets. She made plenty of her own natural heat, so the cold didn't bother her too much. But this was a curious sight, standing out there in the snow, staring.

"You seem intent on something," she said.

[kuragekasa]

"Ah..."

Slowly, Clear simmered down, his frenzied behavior bubbling into a much more mellow state. Thank goodness, because if he kept flailing around like that, chances were that he was going to spill his drink at some point!

"In that case... I will, yes. Thank you again, Zelda-san!" He glanced back down at his drink briefly, eyes lifting once more as an idea flitted into his mind.

"But, um... Zelda-san? It is cold out here. We should both go to the common room and have our drinks together." He thought that'd be best!
