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.

Jolt tried to find cover quickly, and managed to an extent. A couple of snowballs to the back were no big deal. He scooped up some more snow and lobbed a snowball up at the dargon. "Then take THAT!" he laughed.

[blazebottom]

Due to her recent dip, the ones they threw first didn't come close to hitting. But as she started going up, she was slower as she gained altitude again and got hit by a couple.

Of course, she laughed happily. "Hey hey! Didn't yer mommas teach ya not ta hit a gal!" she joked, tossing more snowballs their way.

[jonny_talbain]

"No, sorry Luv!" Jon replied. He would have had a terrible time in the Darkstalkers tourney if he'd not been allowed to punch a couple of lasses.

He ducked for cover as well and immediately started working on a hastily compiled but hard packed arsenal.

A few years ago, he never would have dreamed of engaging Riwane in a snowball fight, let alone someone else he hardly knew. He took a moment to think on how times had changed before flinging another snowball at his Dargon who was the only combatant he could see at the moment.

"You're going to have to land to restock your supply, Luv!" he taunted.

[rivalthunderbolts]

Jolt took advantage of Jon's distraction to dive out and lob a snowball at his back. He was used to doing things like this with his family back home. Although that was mostly before learning to humanize, so it was pretty different. Jolt relished the new experience though. "Never turn your back on your foe!" he taunted like the annoying little shit he was.

[blazebottom]

"Tsk tsk, rude!" she joked as she spun to try and avoid more snowballs.

"Whut was it they've been sayin' on sum a them new music videos? Make it rain?"

Well, hope you two don't mind getting wet! Riwane tossed the mass of snowballs she had gathered into the air before shooting a burst of flame at them and making it 'rain' on the lot.

[jonny_talbain]

Greeeeeat. Now everything was going to smell like wet dog.

Jon was quick about springing away as soon as he heard Jolt readying his attack. He did, however, get a good dousing from Riwane. There really wasn't much of a chance to avoid such a wide spread attack.

"I'll remember this next time we face a rock type Gym, Luv!" He called, dashing around behind the snow fort to restock his supplies. "Didn't know Charizard could learn Water Sport!"

[rivalthunderbolts]

"Careful when you douse an electric type like that!" Jolt taunted with a smirk, pitching a pair of showballs up at the airborne dargon.

[blazebottom]

"Ah'm lookin' ta lite up tha area, maybe yer gonna shine brightly an' become a better target sparkbutt!" she joked back, trying aerial maneuvers to avoid the snowballs.

"Ah can't do that! Not unless Ah have snow around!"

[jonny_talbain]

Thanks for being a perfect distraction, Riwane. Two snowballs made their way at breakneck speeds right at the back of Jolt's head.

[rivalthunderbolts]

THUD THUD.

"Oh, you asked for it now!" Jolt declared, sprinting his way by Jon to throw a couple of snowballs back at him, the dragon girl temporarily forgotten.

[blazebottom]

Good, the boys were distracted, it was time to be a sneaky little farm gal! While they quarreled, Riwane dissappeared for a while. They'd find out soon enough where the dargon flew off to.

[jonny_talbain]

"Asked for what? Asked for you to miss me by a mile?" Jon replied, doing his best to dodge the pair of flung snowballs with as much Kung-Fu grace as he could muster up.

...completely playing in to whatever Riwane's sinister plot was.

[rivalthunderbolts]

"Asked for my ultimate attack!" he boasted, preparing another snowball. He was about to throw it, when...

"...Where'd Riwane go?"

[hometownchargal]

They found out soon enough when the snowball version of a carpet bombing happened to pass right over where they were fighting thanks to one dargon carrying a large container full of snow and unloading it during a flyby!

[jonny_talbain]

"DUCK!" Jon yelled to Jolt, sprinting forward in a selfless gesture to protect his one time adversary from the rampant snowsplosion raining down from the heavens.

He shielded you with his body, Jolt. You pretty much owe him your life.

[rivalthunderbolts]

Your sacrifice would not be in vain, Jon. Jolt was more than ready to avenge him. "Don't worry, she is so not getting away with that!"

Quickly shifting to Jolteon form, he kicked up a pile of snow chunks. Then, he fired Pin Missile at the snow drift, launching small snowballs at the flying Charizard like puffy machine gun fire.

[hometownchargal]

Good thing she still had the container! It made for a makeshift shield as she flew over them. Guess this would be turning into an all out free for all! Smash Style!

Finally landing atop one of the snow hills of the fort, she placed the container in front of her as a wall and swiped her strong tail by the side of it, sending a wave of snow in thier direction.

[jonny_talbain]

"Sodding hell - she's not messing about! Run!" Jon replied as he backpedalled through the snow, this time leaving sparkle-ass the wonder pooch to fend for himself!

[rivalthunderbolts]

Yeah, well, someone was faster than you, Hairy. Enjoy your snow bath.

[hometownchargal]

Riwane grinned and growled excitedly. This was loads of fun! So much so that she was trying to find more creative ways to swing snow, like using her wings for instance! She began flapping them strongly close to the snow in hopes that a mini blizzard would pick up.

[jonny_talbain]

Snow bath nothing - Try finding a way to blend into the shadows with that lemony hued pelt, Pika-Puppy.

Jon, quite resourcefully, found some shelter behind a convenient tree.

[rivalthunderbolts]

Okay, time for plan B.

"Hey, how's your throwing arm?"

[jonny_talbain]

"Extremely good. Why?"

[rivalthunderbolts]

"Throw me up there."

[hometownchargal]

What were they planning? They were getting too quiet over there and she couldn't quite make out anything through her flapping of wings. Nothing she could do unless she wanted to give up her range advantage so she'll just have to prepare for whatever comes. Maybe she could retaliate if she focused on countering!
