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.

Octane and Sirius Black

Well, the response wasn't exactly what he was expecting, not that Octane was overly aware of what the response he was supposed to receive. Stark difference from being almost gassed to death and shot at. Plus this man was easily very nice. Warm?

Nice and warm, something Octavio could appreciate.

"I'm new!" Octane announced triumphantly. As if it might have been his intention the whole time. "Of course! New me, new place, new adventure!" The combatant rattled off at the other man. "This is exactly where I expected to land, right iiiiiiiinnnn..." Octane trailed off before leaning in to the other man, rifle no longer pointed at his greeting party. "Pst," Octane whispered. "Where is here anyway, and hypothetically if one wanted to return to where they were going how would they do that," He looked around as if what was being shared was going to be a secret. "Y'know. Hypothetically... asking for a friend sort of way." Octane nudged the man some as if they were long lost friends.

Yes, sure, of course Sirius was mostly nice and warm. Nice, because he tended to be unless someone really got under his skin (or, in some cases, he just didn't like them for personal reasons) and warm because he was a brilliant wizard and he'd definitely charmed his clothing to be a little toastier out here in the weather and fighting. It was a long game, defeating Remus Lupin, after all.

"Brilliant," Sirius said, bouncing on his heels and bending down to scoop up more snow. "We're having a snowball fight, see. Welcome to it. You don't have to play, but it'd be better if you did." The whispering that the other man was doing wasn't something Sirius was doing. "Here's just here. Starklandia. You want to leave? Mostly tough luck, mate."

Well, now this was a serious change in his agenda. From game where he would be killing others, to a game where he was taking out others with snow artillery. It was a shift, for sure, but a shit.

"Alright." Octane proceeded to take the rifle and sling it on his back. "We will just have to play in the snow then." With that, Octane did a few quick stretches, ran in place letting his mechanical legs get a feel for the ground, and then started making snowballs. Sure there was a lot more questions he had, but what was the old saying? When in Rome?

"So, amigo." He started. "You said, tough luck, is this a prison?" Looking up to the other man he juggled the few snowballs he made before dropping one. "Or what's the deal..?"

That was probably a saying, but Sirius wouldn't know it, most likely. This guy might have been from some other time, but it seemed generally earth-ish so far as he could tell. So he was a muggle of some kind. From Spain? Sirius could be clever, but he wasn't exactly worldly. He simply hadn't gotten the chance to be yet. He'd ask questions later. Right now, they were both only lucky that they hadn't been taken down by errant snowballs, or people looking to get a quick win in.

Remus would never be so cheap about it, but Sirius knew not everyone was Remus Lupin.

"Not really," Sirius said, because he knew he ended up in prison, but this sure as shit wasn't it. "S'just what it is. A place outside other places that we all end up. Dunno on reason. I like it here."

There was no hesitation, while Octane just started piling snowballs up. One after the other. "Well, that's awkward." Octane muttered quietly. "I'm all for crashing a party, y'know, but I much rather know where and how I crashed said party so I know if I need to bring a gift or a friend or a drink." Octane shrugged. He would figure out how to escape another time, but what was a little snowball fun in the immediate.

Standing with his arms full with an insane amount of snowballs, Octane shook his head up and down, until his goggles fell back in place.

"Amigo?" Octavio started asking while dropping a snowball from his arms, quickly readjusting to not lose more. "Who are we hunting?"

"Sure, sure," Sirius said agreeably enough even as he went back to making snowballs too. A lot of them. It was easy to duplicate and double them up with magic, to stuff them into the pockets of his coat, charmed to hold entirely more than a normal pocket might. "I'd say we all probably would have liked a warning, but that wasn't a thing. Anyway. Welcome to Starklandia, mate. Come coz you gotta, stay for the parties. Also because you gotta."

Sirius liked this guys goggles. Wondered where maybe he could get some too. "Sirius Black, by the by." He introduced himself, realizing he hadn't yet. Wow, manners!

"And we are hunting... Remus Lupin. And probably his blue friend Nebula. Wonderful people. My favorite, that's Remus. Looks a bit like he's not trying to start trouble. But he's crafty, and I simply cannot let him win this."

Well. People were stuck. It put a halter on his plan on finding an exit. There were people he needed to get back to, well, wanted to get back to. There was no need, other than that these people were his team. Well, Mirage was dead... okay there was no real reason to go back besides he wanted to go back. "Well, make best of the worst!" Octane said.

With a the arms full of snow balls, he literally ran around Sirius before halting. NAMES!? "Qué increíblemente grosero de mi parte!" And with that, the snowballs were forgotten and he smacked himself in the forehead and the all his mediocre work was lost to the ground. "Octavio Silva, but everyone calls me Octane!" And he gave the man a fake salute.

"OH! Dios mío!" As Octane realize his error, and immediately started rebuilding his snowballs. "We will hunt this Remus Lupin and Nebula. I will help you seek victory!"

Sirius liked this guy. He was active and excitable and Sirius was all those things too, so he bounced a little on his feet when he ran in circles and laughed, boisterous and pleased when he dropped all of his snowballs and then burst into a language Sirius didn't actually know, but could probably do a translate charm on if it kept happening.

"Octane!" he agreed, because if that's what everyone called him, that was what Sirius was going to call him.

"Brilliant," he agreed, wide smile and all white teeth. "To victory then, mate!"

With their victory discussed, it was now only one simple thing left to do. Achieve said victory. Which would be simple if you were to ask him. When you were Octane, you were faster than most, and if you couldn't hit him he was going to hit you!

"YES!" Arms loaded with snowballs again. Octane did a couple crouching squats as if his mechanical legs need stretching. Then he was off. In just a couple seconds already spanning a number of yards before turning back.

"AMIGO! You better catch up!" With another spin, he was on the move again. These snowballs weren't going to throw themselves.
