WINTER WONDERLAND

[scienceoficecream]

Who: A whole bunch of snow and YOU
When: Day 104, late afternoon and probably until Day 105 at some point.
Where: 3rd Floor, Common Area
What: Because Albi wanted to be Jack Frost BECAUSE CHRISTMAS

[There will be a bit of a drop in the temperature of the third floor today. Nothing too bad until you enter the Common Area, where you will find a good percentage of it is, in fact, covered in snow. There's mounds of it all over and more than enough to play and frolic in. There's even one mound big enough to sled down. And there's an area over that that's just pure ice and there some ice skates along the edge.]

[Around the edge of of the mini winter wonderland are tables with coats and other such winter wear.]

((OOC: BTW, winter clothes will vanish when the snow does.))

[ insert jaws theme here ]

Elliot!

[ have a snowball to the face when you turn around! ]

[knighting]

ACK!

[and he's on his butt in the snow!]

Jane!

[cloak_and_sniper]

[ cackles, scooping another handful of snow up and packing it between her hands. ]

I'm gonna be nice. Give you a ten-second head-start.

Ten... nine...

[ RUN! or... attempt to fight the trained soldier. your move, kid! ]

[knighting]

[ATTEMPT TO FIGHT! He's a Nightray, they don't run from anything!

He grabs some snow up and makes a snowball, something he's not done in years!]

Threetwoone! [and he throws! Yes sneaky, but this is war!]

[cloak_and_sniper]

[ direct hit! her jaw slowly slackens slightly, as if in disbelief, before tightening again, brows furrowed. ]

Wrong move, Nightray... wrong move.

[ marches towards him, stooping and packing more snow into the ball in her hands as she goes ]

[knighting]

[ACK! retreat to grab more snow]

[cloak_and_sniper]

[ lobs the large ball of snow at his back before giving chase and grabbing him around the middle ]

Gotcha!

[knighting]

[ACK! he goes down easily because he wasn't looking and falls face first in the snow-

But he's laughing about it]

Jane!

[cloak_and_sniper]

What?

[ cackles, hand on the back of his head.

hope he doesn't mind having his face rubbed in the snow. if only briefly~]

[knighting]

Jane!

[he's trying to get up, he's totally not dressed for this but ahhh snow in his face]

[cloak_and_sniper]

[ she may allow this.

but will push him over again, crouched next to him. ]

[knighting]

[back on cold snow, fun- but he doesn't move, just smiling and laughing]

I haven't played in snow in years.

[And he wipes his face off, some sticking to his eyelashes]

[foil]

[ Someone's finally come out, and it seems he feels just a little better as he stands off to the side of the snow, hands behind his back and smiles while watching. Been awhile since he's seen those smiles. ]

[cloak_and_sniper]

[ Scooping the snow up and patting it between her gloves where she's crouched next to him, glancing up towards the large mound of snow that seems like it's there for sledding. ]

Neither have I. I usually avoid snow where I can, but... this is a nice change.

[ Does it feel like we're being watched? It certainly does! Turning to look over her shoulder her expression turns from being amused to concerned. ]

Leo?

[foil]

[ slightly startled, his hands unfold and he comes forward a bit onto the snow ]

I'm feeling better now...

... Where did the snow come from?

[cloak_and_sniper]

[ Drops the snow and stands, twisting on her heels so she's facing him. Her arms fold across her chest and she levels him with a glare that could knock a grown man on his ass. She doesn't believe that he's feeling totally better, but- ]

Coat. Gloves. Scarf. Now!

[ Briefly glances to where Elliot is before nudging him with the toe of her boot as if to say 'you too'. Leo's recently been ill, though. So sue her if she's more anxious over him. ]

[foil]

[ urk— ]

I don't have a scarf or gloves with me.

[ And this coat is his only one, except maybe the Baskerville cloak stuffed in the closet. ]

[cloak_and_sniper]

[ Points to the table that has them set out with a face that looks very much like :I ]

[foil]

[ Yeah, yeah, I've got it. Waves a hand in her direction, walking over. For a moment when he balances, both hands go out and he walks a near straight line until he's at the table, picking up a jacket probably too large, and shrugging it on slowly. ]

I don't see you wearing one.

[cloak_and_sniper]

I was until someone stuck snow down the back of it.

[ Moving over and clapping her gloved hands together over his head so he gets a sprinkling of snow before grabbing one of the scarves and wrapping it loosely around his neck. ]

[knighting]

[laughing he manages to get up and wander over to the table to grab some of the clothing, pulling on the coat and gloves, then the scarf which he left hanging around his neck]

Are you sure you're okay?

[he glances to Leo, because he looked really bad earlier]

[foil]

[ nodding ]

I think I'm over the lizagon poison now.

[cloak_and_sniper]

[ Shrugging on the coat she had earlier which is a long, navy jacket and buttoning it up. The face she pulls shows that it wasn't completely dry. ]

So long as you are. [ Points, buttoning the last couple at the top with her finger and thumb. ] I don't want you passing out on us, got it?

[knighting]

[smiles a little at the way she mothers Leo before picking up snow and sneaking up behind her, he's gonna try to smoosh that onto her neck!]

[cloak_and_sniper]

[ Spins and grabs his wrist, hooking her foot around the back of his knee and yanking his leg out from under him. She isn't going to fall for that twice in one day, thank you! ]

Too slow.
