Snowball fight -- party post!

Contrary to popular belief, there is snow in the higher mountains of Greece and Asia Minor in winter.

When Antinoos came in from sweltering Thebes tonight and found snow outside, he got himself warm clothes like a Greek hunter or Roman soldier in winter would wear, and ran right outside. He had missed snow!

Now he's out there, enjoying the snow and the cold, and acting, for once, exactly as young as he is. After a while, he finds that he can't resist the idea of surprising some poor unfortunate (he's outside, so it's no violence, right), and when a somewhat small and scruffy fellow comes outside, he gets a soft, large snowball right in the face, from a safe position twenty yards away, in the bushes.

Ned Poins, however, is well versed with ambushes, so he spots soon where the attack came from, and gathers snow to retaliate, running towards the shrubbery -- and so, the battle is joined, and soon, there is a big white-and-brown dog yelping excitedly, and a big, blond Scotsman grinning widely and waiting to decide which side to take.

However, when you come outside today, you might get caught in the crossfire; or perhaps you'd like to join the battle just for the fun of it?

Urquhart bursts out from all the snow with a snowball ready, aiming it at Jim's face with the casual accuracy of the professional killer that he is.

A direct hit!

Jim puts on his war face and sends more snowballs in Urquhart's direction like the absurdly fast gunslinger that he is.

Poins, trying another angle to attack Antinoos, gets in the crossfire and curses.

"A-ha! An interloper! Have at you!"

Jim lets loose another bombardment.

Ahh, but can he keep up with Poins and Urquhart targeting him at the same time?

He can. But not whilst dodging at the same time.

Cheering, Urquhart and Poins come running at him, pelting him with snow.

Jim regathers himself. As they approach, he responds with his own onslaught, each as fast as several ordinary men. The exchange of fire intensifies as the three snow warriors get closer together.

And then, they clash in a great cloud of snow.

Oh, if the battle could only be seen through the powdery cloud that obscures it, it would be a glorious sight. Yet peals of girlish laughter can clearly be heard.
