RATING: PG at most, I should think
STATUS: Complete

After showing Mercy around, she'd had a little bit of a run in with someone over the journals. But Tonks was nothing if not resilent, and she didn't let him hurt her feelings for long. Instead, she decided that exactly what she needed was some physical exercise. So she changed into some warmer clothing, swapping her normal t-shirt for a thick sweater, and then, she was off.

There were people there already, so Tonks picked a fort nearly at random and crouched behind it. The witch then spent quite a few moments simply packing snow into snowballs, but now she was ready. She had quite a pile to work with. Showing that she wasn't always clumsy, she clambered to the top of her chosen fort and cupped her hands around her mouth so her voice would project further. Of course, she could use magic, but that seemed like cheating somehow.

"Hey, guys! Let's get this going on!" As usual, her voice was full of good cheer and high spirits. And she immediately had to duck down as people from both sides flung snowballs at her. She had been a bit of an idiot, making herself such an easy target and then taunting everyone. Her uncharacteristic nimbleness went away very quickly under the rain of snowballs, and she half-fell half-slid back to her pile of snowballs. It was turning into a pretty fun fight, she thought. She was having a good time.

Astor looked simultaneously baffled and amused by Faith's proclamation that she should tell people to screw themselves. She snorted out a giggle, mainly because she was so accustomed to hiding gigglefits over things like that - her Mom would only yell at her if she was there to see.

She shook Faith's hand and smiled. "Nice to meet ya," she replied.

There was another onslaught of snowballs from all sides and Astor shrieked, giggling, as she started launching them back with abandon. She hit a dark-haired woman she'd never even noticed when she'd first joined in and laughed. "Heads up," she called out, grinning widely. Next, she took aim at the blonde when she thought she had a clear shot, and then the younger girl.

Popping her head up over the edge to peek, she noticed that the big tall guy was laying on his back just looking up at the sky. Not even a challenge. "Look out below!" she sang out and threw an oversized snowball in his direction. It had been heavy, though, and instead she'd managed to hit the guy dressed in all black. Her eyes went wide, because he didn't look terribly happy to be included and she didn't want the grownups to send her out of the game, now; she was having lots of fun. "Whoops! Sorry, mister!" she called out to him and ducked down again behind the safety of the snow fort's wall.
