[Video - Friday morning 12/6]

[Sakura hits the journals up in the morning, relatively early; she's in a cheerful, energetic mood this morning, and feels the need to do some playing today.]

So! We got all that snow yesterday. I think it's time to have a little fun!

What does everyone think of a grand mass snowball fight? I'm talking ninja-style, very few holds barred, get 'em however you can! [Pause.] Try to avoid actually causing serious bodily harm, though. The point is to have fun. But other than that, go for it!

The whole village is fair game, but let's at least get started... hm, just to the south, I think. Plenty of space for fun, and we can spread from there!

[Action - Same day, all day]

[Sakura's out there, wrapped up warm and ready for action. It's a beautiful day for shenanigans and she's got more than a few in mind!]

There's only one rule. Make me do any actual work, and I will destroy you! [Translation: hurt someone and she'll hurt you.

She may also be starting some snow fortifications. Nothing like having the upper hand!]

((ooc: It's a free-for-all! Feel free to thread with other folks in this post, threadjack, etc etc. Come get snowy and have fun!))

Oh man, doesn't this happen like, every year now or something? Not that Norma's complaining one bit - it makes the winter more bearable and even fun! It's always a great activity beaning someone in the face with a handful of snow and then warming up with a fireplace and some hot cocoa or something. Beaming into her journal's viewfinder, Norma's already holding up her jacket and boots.]

Alright, count me in! No injuries, sure, sure, but there's no rules about using some er--uh, I mean, magic, is there? Anything goes, right?

[Action:

Making her way swiftly to the area where the snow war is going down, Norma immediately gets into the competitive spirit. There's snow flying every which way and people slipping and sliding over snow and ice and it's just so picturesque. She bounces with excitement before scooping up a handful of snow and flinging it at the first unwitting victim she sees. This is definitely the kind of thing her new coat and boots were made for! Free movement while keeping her nice and toasty. This is the best way to break them in!]

Hahhaa, in-coming! Better watch out, suckers!

[SPLAT! Ilyana took a snowball right to the back of the head, sending her careening face first into the snow. She really needed to learn not to think about food too much in the middle of snowball fights, it made her positively defenseless. Could she help it that snow reminded her of snowcones though?

Well now that she was down anyways, she was going to see if her surprise attack strategy could come into play. Play dead, and when the perpetrator of the snowball throwing came to check on her to see if she was okay, *whamo!* surprise snowball attack!]

Ohhhh...

[If only she wasn't so hungry at the same time.]

[Whoa, crud, did she actually knock someone out for real? Jeez, she didn't think she threw the snowball that hard! And she thought the snow was pretty fluffy. Compact and easy to work with, but not like...solid ice or whatever. Still, Norma did get a good hit on a pretty sensitive spot...errr.

Bounding over, and easily falling for the trick, she crouches near her fallen target, holding up a hand to try and keep the other volleys of snowballs from being thrown in this direction, Man--uh, girl down! Cease fire in this direction guys! At the very least, Norma's a damn good healer, so she could cure any headache this poor lady has.]

Hey! Hey, you okay, lady? Didn't mean to hit you that hard...

Ohhh...

[Ilyana wobbly sat up, which was actually less of an act than she wish it was. She always had had a pretty poor constitution, but mostly she blamed it on being so hungry all the time. She reached out to put her arm around Norma's shoulder, hoping she wouldn't mind her using her as support as she got herself up.]

Thank you Norma... oh by the way, gotcha back.

[Remember that arm that she draped around Norma's shoulder? Well it turns out she had a clump of snow concealed in her hands that she was pushing down into Norma's coat neck. The smile on Ilyana's face looked innocent enough, but there was definitely a hint of a devilish glint of mirth in her eyes.]

(ooc: I just realized, I hope that wasn't too god moddy of me ^^; I find doing checks back and forth takes up a lot of time, so I figure if you want Norma can slip out just in time if you don't like my tag, or whatever you want to do with it.)

[WOW, YEAH, NO, THAT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA.

Of course Norma let the girl hang on, even if she...can't quite remember her at all, WHOOPS. Just as she was opening her mouth to say something in that regard, Norma balks as she feels the frigid chill and wetness of motherfucking snow down her shirt. With a shriek similar to that of a howler monkey, Norma drops her charge entirely, hopping up and down while shaking out her jacket.]

AAAH AAAHHH! COLD, COLD, COLD! [She huffs, panting from the effort, then turns to deliver an absolutely blazing look at the perpetrator. Knowing her name or not, that sneak attack will not be tolerated.] Oooh....you're going to get it, you little sneak!

[While a girl she'd only spoken to once, about helping improve her breast size of all things, was not someone Ilyana would typically remember, she always did try to remember those who fed her... or even more so, owed her food in Norma's case.]

Hehe! That's what you get for letting your guard down in a ninja snowball fight!

[Ilyana was almost tempted to stick her tongue out at her, but suspected she'd get a facefull of snow for it... if she wasn't already going to get that for the snow down the jacket thing. Still there was just something about playing in the snow that just brought out the impish child side in her.]

Heads up!

[Suspecting she was going to be barraged by snowballs any minute, Ilyana took the initiative to fire the first shot, aiming for her hands.]

[Oh, she's going to get a face full of snow regardless, considering Norma's extreme dislike of the cold. That was a seriously dirty trick, and now she's hopping mad.

She huffs, indeed ducking out of the next attack. Her eyes narrow as a glowing magic circle forms under her feet, only just visible under all the snow. She holds out her hand, pointer and ring finger extended and glowing white-blue at the tip, and declares--]

I'm a treasure hunter, and I don't play nice, or fair at all! Blizzard!

[Casting her spell, Norma summons a massive snowstorm - a blizzard - around herself and poor Ilyana. Where Norma doesn't get touched by a single flake of her icy spell...well, Ilyana will be lucky if one inch of her isn't covered in the frosty powder.]

[Ilyana backpedals when she sees the magic circle, realizing that Norma was planning to cast a spell of some sort at her.]

Whoa! Hold on now... who said anything about using magi-

[Ilyana brought out the first tome she could find on her person to try to counter the maelstrom of snow and ice, but her spell was just a little late, only blowing away some of the snow that would have buried her. Ilyana shivered in her skirt, coming to the realization she probably hadn't exactly dressed well for this event.]

That... that wasn't very nice you know... even for revenge for putting snow down your shirt.

[Ilyana halfheartedly threw another snowball in Norma's direction, using the snow that had covered her from the blizzard. It was as if to say 'See? This is how you're supposed to play.']

That's what you get for letting your guard down in a ninja snowball fight against me.

[Norma's practically singing, a devilish little smirk on her face. In the back of her mind, her conscience tells her that was probably way over the top, but a lesson had to be learned! No one plays such a dirty trick against Norma Beatty and gets away with it! Especially not when her brand spanking new winter clothes and frigid snow is involved...going down said new clothes. That's just not gonna fly, nope. Besides, what she heard over the journals was that anything goes in this fight - so long as no one gets really injured.

Really, this chick's lucky she didn't use a fire or earth crystal eres spell...like Norma's used to doing. Blizzard is among her very limited ice/water elemental spells.]

[Alright, it may not have earned a laugh out of Ilyana, but that did manage to make her grin. She had sort of deserved that.]

Well how about we leave magic out of this from now on... okay? Otherwise you might have to find out what an Archsage is capable of.

[As if to prove her point, Ilyana became encircled in glowing runes as she read from the pages of her tome, and she caused a great gust of wind to surge forward, blowing snow up off the ground, flying into the air all around them.]
