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

kyaputen farukon is here. for you.

[raced_god]

Yes friends, he is here, in a parka and trademark yellow scarf and also earmuffs, staring unflinchingly into the white abyss. One can only guess what kind of incredibly serious Captain Falcon things are on his mind, but rest assured they are incredibly serious and also incredibly important.

Clearly this means it is a very good time to approach him.

oh well then let me be the first to welcome you

[bowbow]

How... much... up are you looking right now, Falcon.

Because, right now, there's a douchebag lizard in a clown copter above your head who is about two seconds away from dumping a snowman on top of you.

[raced_god]

Luckily for Bowser and unluckily for Falcon, he was not looking above him at this moment in time. When he did, it was far, far too late. It all came crashing down on him and promptly reduced both snowman and Captain to an indeterminate pile of snow.

For a long moment, there was nothing but silence BUT THEN, DEAR READERS

but then

the remnants of the unfortunate snowman appeared to collapse inward, as if being MELTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

[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.

[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.

[ihateplumbers]

Why are you so mean, Falcon? Why are you so mean?

Bowser ducked behind his clown copter and then tossed several clockwork Bowser thingys out of it at Falcon because flying guys from Mario land have an endless supply of things to throw at dudes.

The clockwork Bowser-things are flying through the air at you I bet they'd make great target practice but you probably aren't good enough to hit a moving target.

Stand together. As men.

[wassa_matta_you]

And so he approached. And stood next to him. And stared as well.

He was going to ask for directions, but Desmond knows a moment when he sees it.

This is a moment.

And he will stand there and wait for it.

[raced_god]

aw yeah

It was, indeed, a moment. A somewhat short-lived one, because having another person standing there--a person he was unfamiliar with, at that--got real awkward real fast.

"You need something?"

MOMENT OVER.

[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

[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?"

[wassa_matta_you]

Oh, awesome. This should make things easier. Staff should know each other, right? especially if he's royalty.

"His name's Connor," he answered, only then realizing that it might come off as 'I killed him and took his keys so here we are.' "He asked me to meet him at his room but I can't find the damn place."

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.

[raced_god]

"Just thinking."

About important Captain Falcon things that were so important, he could not dare to speak them aloud.

[vela_nova]

"About anything in particular?" she asked, curious about these important Captain Falcon things that held his attention.

[raced_god]

Falcon considered this for a very long moment, still staring out into the snow-covered campus.

"Christmas shopping," he said finally.

[vela_nova]

"Trying to think of a gift for someone?" she asked. Trying to get information out of this flaming jerk was like pulling teeth.

[cowardlyjustice]

Why certainly, it would definitely meant another snowball was thrown at Falcon's direction.

[raced_god]

The snowball hit its mark with a wet splat. Falcon stood very still for a long moment and then slowly

turned

around.

"Start running."

1/2

[cowardlyjustice]

Nope sorry. Brown burst into uncontrollable fits of obnoxious, 'DOHYAHAHAHAHA' laughter.

He did start to take some steps backward, slowly.

"Pfft-- come one, it was just- a- a- tiny sn-"

And so the ringing laughter of Brown's obnoxious laughter continues as he tries to increase his pace.

[cowardlyjustice]

Only for him to fall backwards and onto the snow.

Karmic justice, as they say. Pun intended for maximum irony.

[raced_god]

Though Brown had a bit of a head start thanks to the Captain's pausing to scoop up some snowballs, Falcon hit the ground running so fast that he actually overshot the boy when he fell. SO THEN he looped back around and pitched both his snowballs in Brown's direction.

TAKE THAT.

[raw_angel_power]

Any time is a good time to approach Captain Falcon. Especially when he has something to show him.

"Captain!" He called through megaphone mittens. Directly after, he began shuffling through the snow to run up to him. "Have you seen the tree yet?"

[raced_god]

Ah, there it was. Falcon should have expected it, really. Not that a surprise Pit was a bad surprise, or anything. He WAVED IN GREETING, except it wasn't really a wave, it was more like a raised hand.

"Not yet, no. Have you been decorating?"

[raw_angel_power]

"Not yet. But there's something I need to show you!" He began bouncing on his heels.

[raced_god]

Falcon already knew there would be no getting out of this. Pit was excited about something, which would mean there was no escape and all he could do was humor him.

"Sure, lead the way."
