A CHALLENGER APPEARS!ecto_biologistDecember 7 2010, 01:02:41 UTC
[Snow. So wonderful. So amazing... so... pranksteresque.
Hehehehehehe. Beware - there's a sniper afoot! And if you're caught in his line of fire (as he's using his Treehouse as superior ground - for the moment) you're a prime target for a PRANKSTER'S SNOWBALL!
Quickly looks around to see what it was, until her eyes lock onto a smallish lump of snow.
Oh. A snowball. Well, she has no idea where it came from, and probably thinks that the one who threw it is gone by now, so she's just gonna continue walking.]
[This pretty cool philosophical moment is ruined by said snowball then some stifled giggles. Maturity levels fly through the roof!
Feferi peeks out of the bushes, still grinning as she heads over.] Got you! Hook, line annnnnd sinker! [she laughs as she stops and peers down at the girl] Say, you're the frog!
[ It goes without saying that this Texas-native isn't really used to snow. He's just kind of watching nearby, hands in his pockets. Shit's cold, but the rest of the camp really isn't and yeah that's fucking weird but -- he can't say he doesn't like it. Is he smiling? HahahahaNO. But his expression isn't quite a lineface.
...and he's also a sitting duck. Snowballs aren't something he's expecting. This is your chance to pelt the coolkid; will you take it?? ]
It is a Harley tradition to be masters of long-range warfare, the ultimate snipers, geniuses in their art. Similarly, it is Jade's own ambition to be a great scientist, a genius in--
The point is there's a really well-packed snowball flying right at Dave's head]
[ Dave spies something white coming at him out of the corner of his eye and turns his head just in time to have a ball of snow smack him right in the face. His shades are coated in powdery snow and he can't see a goddamn thing.
Awesome.
Dave removes his shades and shakes them clean, shielding and obscuring his eyes with his free arm. ]
[Conrad's just sorta chilling out (LOL GET IT??), exploring the new grounds and trying to figure out where the fuck snow could be coming from and why the air isn't any colder. Not that he's a particularly good judge when it comes to temperature, but you know.]
[Oh, that tree looks gorgeous. He wishes he had his camera right about now, these would make for some great Tumblr posts.]
[Kanaya has already learned to enjoy snowball fights, now she is going to share that fun with Conrad! That's how she thinks about it as she sneaks up behind him, or she would be too shy to do what she's planning--which is, whacking Conrad right in the back of the head with a snowball.]
[He yelps and jumps forward, startled by the sudden attack, and whips around to face none other than Kanaya.]
-ck.
Oh, you suck.
[Conrad responds accordingly by bending down, scooping up a handful of snow, and lobbing it at the silly girl. And look! He actually doesn't miss. It's probably because of their close-proximity, but whatever shut up.]
soooo late sorry 8(jaded_auxiliaryDecember 13 2010, 06:22:22 UTC
[Haha, oh wow! That was the best reaction. Kanaya covers her mouth to hide a grin, but it still shows around the edges.]
Actually, I'm quite superla--
[And then she gets smacked with a snowball, right in the middle of her 4-syllable word. Spluttering, she wipes the snow off.]
I-I won't let that stand! [Which she emphasizes by ducking down and packing another snowball, then lobbing it at him. But this time, she's going to dodge behind a tree!]
[What's this? Incoming Ace, swooping curiously over the battlefield! He's too busy wtf-ing over the sudden snowfall to be expecting any attacks. Still, he's just above the treetops and makes for a difficult aerial target.
50 points if you can nail him. 100 if you survive the ordeal.]
[ There are an awful lot of crows chilling in the trees nearby. What's up with that? Well it might be due to the Knight standing below, readying a snowball and trying to be stealthy despite the entire murder of feathery assholes stalking him constantly.
Whatever, Jack doesn't seem to be paying attention and when else is he going to get this opportunity? Dave waits for the Ace to dip down low enough and then lets his icy projectile fly. ]
[Of course he notices the crows, and immediately remembers which of the kids tends to have a fuckton of crows following them everywhere. But at this point he's already at the bottom of his swoop, and he turns just in time to get a snowball to the face.
An angry screech (probably GOD DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN) is muffled by SNOW IN HIS FACE OHGOD, MAYDAY. Jack swerves into a tree. All the branches smacking him in the face dislodge the snow, fortunately, and he narrowly avoids faceplanting into the ground.]
WHAT THE FUCK. [Oh, that's what the screech was.
Jack is bad at snowball fights. He has his sword out and he's searching for the fucker who hit him in the face and THERE WILL BE NO MERCY *except for secret bffs who can get away with minor injuries, probably]
[Turning your back to the enemy in a snowball fight? There is no excuse for that, even if you didn't realize there was more than one snowball fighter targeting you.
It's pretty easy to lob snowballs from a distance when you can D -->strong throw them. That blue hair is probably a giveaway, though.]
