Dashing through the snow

[behind_my_smile]

Who: ALL OF VATHEON!
When: Wednesday the 19th, all day!
Where: Up on the surface
Style: [ ] for speed
Status: Open!

Fai had already gone up ahead and made all the necessary preparations. A battlefield had been marked out in an open area. Out of bounds areas were set up that housed the tents for making snow cones, as well as bleachers that could be considered safe from the war that was about to take place.

With the help of Nepeta, piles of snowballs and snow forts were already prepared for the days festivities. And in case anyone got too chilled, a tent with a heater was set up to take away some of the edge of those icy temperatures.

There was a light snow that continued to fall even though the sun was out, helping to take a little bit of the bitter coldness away. It was the perfect weather to have a snow ball fight! All that it needed was the participants and the spectators.



On a board by the field, the teams are posted for all to see. Armbands of blue and red are displayed and ready for the team members to take and put on.

SNOW BALL FIGHT

[behind_my_smile]

Feel free to attack, make snowballs, plan strategy..anything involving the fight!

SNOWCONES!

[behind_my_smile]

Make yourself a snowcone and enjoy the show! All kinds of flavors are available. Also feel free to use this thread to visit the heated tent..but be careful, your snowcone will probably melt!

POST-WAR

[behind_my_smile]

Did your team win or lose? Was anyone really keeping score? Who cares! It's over! Go have some fun, make snow angels, be harassed by someone who really beat you in the war.

OPEN MINGLE

[behind_my_smile]

Just want to hang out with some friends in this wintery weather? Feel free to do it here~

[behind_my_smile]

Alright team! Let's do our best and defeat the red team~

[Fai pumped his fist into the air energetically but then a thought his him.]

Ahh..maybe we should have had some sort of strategy meeting. oh well~ Everyone just do your best!

[Fai tosses a snowball straight up into the air and catches it again.]

Let's have some snowy fun~

[runbysmiles]

Yeah! Let's do this!

[ Sora was probably in some of the most inappropriate clothing for the cold weather. He was in his normal clothes which meant shorts and a short sleeved jacket. Not the smartest but he wasn't really feeling the cold anyway. ]

Let's beat those guys!

[runbysmiles]

[ Sora's grinning like an idiot from the amount of fun he just had. His body is nice and warm from all the excercise he got so he's not really paying attention to the bite of cold in the air. He's wearing his normal outfit of shorts and short sleeved jacket over a tank -- Not really the smartest attire to be out in the snow but Sora feels fine. ]

[dontsaymyname]

[ Barry's been standing off to the side quietly watching the fight. He hasn't moved too far into the crowd preferring to watch from the side. Still someone's bound to notice him standing there. ]

[poisoncount]

[Cain is starting to have second thoughts about it. While it does seem like fun, what is an Earl like him doing here? But if he is honest, it's something he always wanted to do when he was a child.]

Are you sure we should not discuss some strategy? I do not feel comfortable just starting without any plans...

[behind_my_smile]

That's the spirit!

[He then looks to Cain.]

Don't worry, we'll be fine! Snowball fights are more about instincts anyway. Just throw as fast and as far as you can!

[He looks back to Sora..quite worried about the choice in clothing but he'll make sure the poor boy doesn't freeze.]

[behind_my_smile]

[Oh Fai noticed..almost as soon as Barry had shown up. He did his best to stay focused on the game but once it is over..well, he can't help himself. He walks over with a serious look.]

I'm surprised you decided to join us up here. [Except..he isn't all that surprised.]

[dontsaymyname]

Why? I have as much of a right to come to the island as anyone else does.

It was only a coincidence I found you here today.

[ Actually that was a blatant lie, but Barry was a compulsive liar. It was second nature to him. ]

[behind_my_smile]

I didn't say you didn't have a right. I just hope you don't have any ideas of disrupting the festivities. This is supposed to be a time for everyone to have fun.

[Trying to lie to a master liar. he can see right through it.]

[dontsaymyname]

[ Takes one to know one. ]

I'm not doing anything am I?

[behind_my_smile]

At the moment. [If he has to stand here and chaperone, he totally will.]

[dontsaymyname]

Are you going to keep me company to make sure I don't?

[behind_my_smile]

That is an option I've considered. I'd rather it was me keeping an eye on you then risking you trying to hurt any of the people I've brought up here.

[dontsaymyname]

Hmm, I'm honored to have your company then.

[ He glanced over Fai's attire looking for the silver pigeon that Johnny would have used to mark his friends as just that. ]

But I don't think Addy would approve.

[ladyinscarlet]

[While not actively participating in the snowball fight, Angelina has decided to come by and watch. She will stand by the observation area, waiting for the event to begin.]

[rebull]

[Perhaps you are walking around, perhaps, yes, and perhaps while walking around you get hailed by snowballs from above. If you look fast enough you might see Summoner for a moment before he shoots off to hide over a canopy of trees and out of the way of any returning shots.]

Oi, red team, represent!

[Maybe if you wait long enough after he'll peek out to try and hit you again. You'll know because you'll see a horn first.]

[behind_my_smile]

I'm sure he won't, but it doesn't look like he'll have much of a say in it right now. [Fai just had to be careful..]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Equius is pretty sure Summoner is fast enough to avoid any of his snowballs, but still, he doesn't try to throw them hard, nor pack the snow very well. Bruising is acceptable; breaking is not. So enjoy an enormous snowball getting lobbed at you, Summoner!]

POST-WAR blankets and cocoa.

[sylphauxiliatrix]

[Kanaya is set and ready at the bleachers to welcome the brave warriors back from the battle, having brought a few thermoses full of cocoa and tea, as well as a dozen or so blankets. She may have a few signs cheering on the red team, but that doesn't mean the blue team can't come get warmed up too!]

[creative_lovebug]

[Burgh wasn't actually involved but was curious to know what this was all about. Since, everyone was invited, Burgh thought a snow ball fight sounded like a fun idea.

He stood at the sidelines, carefully observing with his hands inside wolly knitted gloves.]

[champ_coordinator]

[A snowball fight. How novel, Wallace thought to himself as he adjusted his cream bereua and smiled as he spotted people coming to watch.

He didn't know who was on what team as he looked to see what was going on.]
