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.

Nyx Ulric and Thor Odinson

It was fair, that over the time of knowing Loki, as much as he liked the guy, and Nyx really did like him - he took somethings Loki said with a hesitation. Plus, over the network, it was hard to miss Thor and his all capital letters and screamed personality. For one, Nyx didn't think Thor was in the slightest an idiot.

Returning to be near Thor Nyx shrugged simply. "Well, snowball fights don't particularly have rules or winning conditions." Placing both of his hands on his hips he tapped a foot. "It's more of a childish sport than anything, but I believe in you, and our victory none the less. For as long as you, my comrade is in the field of battle, I will be also." With a smirk, crouched to start making snowballs. "But first, we need artillery." Looking around to make sure there wasn't anyone around, they'd have to consider their options. "What do you think, do we build a fort, or travel?" Both had their benefits for sure.

In Thor's opinion, it was always best to take the things Loki said, put them through his own Thor-Filter, and then address them with Thor-Logic. That was usually how to figure out what to do or how to respond. And that was also usually how he got stabbed, but it also sometimes seemed to work in his favor. Or at least, it got him to the point where Loki was so exacerbated by him that he couldn't be bothered to stab him. But putting that through the Thor-Filter and then spun by Thor-Logic meant that he was doing something right? Something like that.

And if Nyx didn't think he was an idiot, then hey, he was definitely doing things right.

"You are most noble, Warrior of the Night, and shall make a worthy companion in battle," he said. "Victory shall snow down upon us and we shall have revels and merriment in celebration in the form of many libations afterward." Thor gave him a good, sound clap on the back. "I believe first we should travel to find a place to build a fort."

When it came to Loki, Nyx just - tried not to get stabbed. A strange cat and mouse game to be honest, but one that Nyx was willing to have in his life. Of course, it was very obvious that Nyx was well and able to avoid stabbings here and now with Thor.

It was a strange surge of pride being called noble by the god, which was very lost from thought when he was clapped on his back. Now Nyx was many things. He was fast. He was strong. He was damn determined. These were heavy qualities of his, but even still, when Thor hit his back he still staggered. Keeping his footing, Nyx dropped one of the few snowballs he had made and glanced to the man.

Well, this was going to be interesting. "Then we shall travel, and stake our claim on top of the hill, yes?" Nyx elbowed the man in his ribs and started walking in a direction. "Victory only finds those who seek it after all."

Trying to avoid getting stabbed by Loki was no easy feat. At least, for Thor but that was probably more because he didn't actually try that hard. He liked doing things that provoked the stabbing even though he didn't like the actual stabbing.

It would be interesting for sure, but in Thor's mind he had no doubt they would achieve their victory. For someone like him, that was the only option. They couldn't lose, because Thor didn't lose. Well. He actually had lost. He'd lost everything back home. But that was precisely why he refused to lose here. He wouldn't consider any alternative but winning.

"Verily," he replied, and a low chuckle rumbled in his throat when the other man elbowed his ribs. He enjoyed a rousing exchange of jest. "Let us seek the high ground, and we shall pummel our enemies with balls of snow for we shall see them upon their approach."

Weird sentiment holding not being stabbed by Loki as endearing. But there it was. Not being stabbed yet as something that he held dear to himself regarding Loki.

Something the men shared in common. Often, Nyx looked at losing as not an option. Even in his death, it wasn't a loss to him. It was victory of incredible scale that paved the way for Lunafreya. Worth ever drop of blood of his spilled, or the pain from the magic burning himself inside out. In his sacrifice, those who needed a fighting chance were given just that.

Plus the revenge was so sweet.

Nyx started walking but turned around to walk backwards pointing at Thor. "Yes. We will show them why we are the greatest warriors in town, but," He smirked a devious grin. "I am going to get more hits than you." Nyx challenged with a coy tone.

Not getting stabbed was definitely a 'win' situation. Though, honestly, what Thor preferred most was doing something to provoke the stabbing but then managing to get himself out of actually being stabbed. That was really a true victory. Well. He supposed just getting Loki's attention in a positive way would be the best, but beggars couldn't be choosers.

Thor had lost too much to consider losing an option ever again. Even in something as trivial as a snowball fight, he was determined to reign victorious. Pairing that drive to win with his pride made it all the more crucial he and Nyx win.

When Nyx challenged him, Thor actually laughed and again pat him on the shoulder. "I truly enjoy your jest, Nyx the noble. It is an honor to battle in your company."
