Snowball fight -- party post!

[no_mere_marble]

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?

There's a new contender involved.

The other two might not have noticed him yet, but Jack, in some fresh civvies came out the door just in time to see the first snowball. He promptly went back indoors for a proper winter coat and gloves, before coming out to have a bit of fun.

He's now down by the lake, amongst the boulders there, from which he launches a short snow storm of snowballs at the pair of them.

A cowboy in mittens, body wrapped in an absurd number of layers, has joined the fray.

The first wave of snowballs rains down upon all parties from above like fire from an A-10 attack plane. One would expect nothing less from the Waco Kid.

Product of the tropics that she is, Sariel is not a huge fan of snow and cold. That doesn't mean she entirely avoids the outdoors when it gets to be winter in Milliways, however.

There's a curly-haired woman in warm winter layers inbound, coming from the bar's back door.

Look out, ensign...

Cy can never resist a snowball fight.

OK, that isn't true. Winter gear often leaves him feeling clumsy. And there isn't much snow in the Jump City area.

But sometimes you just have to play in the snow. All he needs is a good target.

Leela approaches the scene cautiously, dressed in a self-made fur coat and boots.

Her face twists in confusion. "...What is this?"

Tommy is grouchy today.

Somehow, he's made it outside and escaped Bar's attempt at wishing him a happy birthday. That would've made him even grouchier, to be honest.

But it's no big deal. He just needs a cigarette.

Except that he's not supposed to have one. But he's going to light one up anyway.

Screw the snow.

Kate had a feeling it was going to snow today. It's really starting to accumulate now, and the hotblooded Texan is fighting with the delighted little girl inside of her. It's cold.

But it's so pretty.

She's hanging back by the paddocks, just enjoying the winter wonderland, when she notices the fracas. Wide blue eyes take it all in. It's been ... well. It's been a long time since she's played in the snow.


[ooc: oh please, somebody annihilate her. ^__^ May be slow during days, but should be around weeknights/weekend.]

Jessica may be a California girl, but snow is always fun. She's in her civies today; a brown flannel shirt, blue jeans and a black wool pea coat, which she buttons up once she gets near enough to see the snow balls flying.

With a wicked grin, she leaps into a tree to look for a target as she makes her first snow ball.

Enzo needs no winter clothing, but he has grabbed a surgical mask (of the more rigid variety) from the infirmary to keep the snow out of his mouth.

You know what they say about sprites with big hands... Big snowballs!
