Who: The whole town. Yes, you too.
What: The Great Snowball War of 2k19
Where: The whole town
When: December 1

She had heard a great deal about this snow ball game that was going to be played and Nebula was ready for it, had been since it had first been explained to her by Sirius. But apparently they had needed to wait until there was enough snow for such a thing? Though how much snow was enough was not something she had understood, what made for enough? These were all questions she still had.

But the town had been covered in a blanket of snow over the last several weeks, with large piles of it build up along the edges of town as well as butted up against their houses where the snow had been blown during the days where it had been windier than others. And it seemed that they had finally reached that point of enough, though she saw no particular difference in the amount compared to some other days. This would be her first time though so she supposed that she could allow the others to decide when it was ready for their game.

And so there they were ready for the snowball game, teams dividing up, some playing individually, and others pairing up, as she and Remus planned to do - it was time for a great battle.

Hopper and OTA

Hopper was aware of the impending game, though he'd made no effort to get involved. Silly games were not his thing. Not without El around to make him feel like he could get away with playing silly games because he'd be doing it for her. No, he was just a middle aged guy, he had no business playing silly games in the snow.

He intended to just go to the bar, pub, whatever it was called. He didn't care what it was called. That's where the alcohol was, and that was what interested him. A bit of whiskey would warm him up just fine. And maybe he wouldn't think about how he'd probably be out there making a fool of himself if El were here. If he had a reason.

He stuffed his hands in his pockets as he walked through town. He was bee-lining for the bar. Unfortunately he had o walk right through where people were already gathering to play in the snow.

It seemed silly to say that Lunafreya had never been in a snowball fight, but honestly, she never had. The life of an Oracle in training never left much leeway for goofing off. And frankly, although she'd seen Shiva turn an entire desert area into a snow-bound wonderland, tossing snowballs during that event seemed sacrilegious at best. So here she was.

She wasn't too clear on the rules, but it seemed no one else was either (except for a very competitive Nebula). She'd tossed a couple, her aim decent enough, before she saw one of the newer arrivals shuffling by. Knowing how it felt to be in a new and unfamiliar place, she beamed at him and said, "Hey, you want to play? Come on, I could use some help."

He felt like he should tell her he was not a good pick for her team. He was old, and not in the best shape. But he'd taken on Russians, and...while he hadn't won, he hadn't exactly lost either. He'd sacrificed himself for the greater good. There was a difference. Not that any of that applied to a snowball fight.

Instead he glanced toward the bar where he was headed to get his drink on, and decided to throw caution to the wind. He brought his gaze back around to her and rolled his shoulders. "Sure, why not?" He'd either have unexpected fun, or he'd be miserable, and in that case he'd take his leave and head on over to the bar. He was actually kind of hoping he had more fun than he anticipated.

It would be a nice change of pace.

Lunafreya saw his glance towards a building further on, and she thought for a moment he might turn her down. When he agreed, her smile grew bright again. "I'm Lunafreya," she offered, scooping up another bit of snow in her gloved hands. "We haven't met, I don't think? I'm not from Earth, though. It appears that most people here are from Earth." She said all of this with that friendly smile, before she returned fire at one of their opponents. "Can you throw? I've never done this before, but I'm doing okay!"

This place just kept throwing curve balls at Hopper. Some days he felt like he was doing all right with it, other days he just had no clue what even was going on. This was one of those days.

"Hopper," he said with a nod. No one called him Jim, it wasn't even worth him saying that was his actual name. He went by Hopper, and it suited him. He packed a bit of snow into a ball in his hands. "Where are you from?" he asked her. Because what he knew of creatures not from earth was not good.

She nodded to let him know she'd caught the name. Hopper. Easy enough to remember. "I'm from a place called Eos. My home was a smaller country called Tenebrae." She watched how he made a snowball and tried to copy. "Honestly, I think it looks a lot like Earth. Nyx and I visited a place called Japan, and it was very similar. I liked it." She rose up and threw her snowball at the closest competitor, but it fell short and she laughed at her own lack of skill. "I'd better get faster or we are going to lose." Chuckling, she picked up more snow. "Did you know anyone when you got here?"

	"Steve," Hopper answered easily. "he was here before me. We're from the same place." He didn't know Steve very well before hand, but he knew him. it counted. "He's good people." (Reply to this) (Parent)
