WHO: Tonks and Illyana, Marcus, Astor, Faith, Mercy, Violet, Snape, Sam, Andy (posting order)
WHAT: Snowball fight!
WHEN: Day 29, afternoon
WHERE: The snow forts
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.

"Awesome, thanks!" Andy exclaimed, taking the extra cannon and loading it up. He had seen Tonks, but had been a bit distracted by all the snowballs flying at his head to say hello. Peeking up over the edge of the fort, he spotted her; the pink hair made her hard to miss and he grinned. "Hey, thanks for inviting me, this is really fun," he called out to her before testing out the cannon and launching snowballs in all different directions - toward Tonks, the other fort, Illyana (who he'd just noticed was there); wherever he could.

As he ducked back down again, Sam dove into the shelter and really before Andy had much of a chance to react, Sam was smashing a snowball in his face. "Oh, you're on!" Andy shouted indignantly, still laughing in spite of it and reloading the cannon. "She gave me weaponry, so you asked for it, buddy," he added.

But then Sam was suggesting to the other girl that they team up. Andy glared back playfully. "Nah, sounds good. Hey, what's your name, anyway? I didn't catch it," he said to the girl. "She made this thing, Sam," he added, gesturing with the cannon in his hands. "That's freakin' genius, right?! We'll be unstoppable." He paused and looked back at her. "If she's in, that is..."
