[OPEN] Snowball Fight!!

[disconinjafrog]

Who: Yosuke Hanamura and you!
Where: Any city districts, late afternoon
Summary: So it's snowing everywhere!! You know what that means right? (And if you don't, Yosuke will quickly teach you.) Yes, that's right. Snowball fight. He will be instigating pretty much anyone with a snowball to the back. Character reactions ensue!
Warnings: Snowball violence?

Wow, Yosuke hadn't seen this much snow in a while! It'd been a few months- from his perspective, about five, considering the weird jump in time that came from coming to this world- since the last drifts of snow had fallen on Inaba. What made the snow here especially cool, though, was the way the city made it look, especially at night.

But the best thing about snowy days, by far, was getting off of work early and being able to just run around in it. Sure, it was a pain in the ass to have to literally drag his bike through the snow, and sure he might've looked like a dumb kid romping through it, but hey, he was going to enjoy himself!

And of course that's when he got the idea- the terrible idea that came from just not caring that he looked absolutely ridiculous running around in the snow- to start some snowball fights.

He's not really paying attention to who he's hitting so whoever you are, whether he mistook you for someone else, whether he was aiming for someone else, or whether he just doesn't care, you are now getting a snowball right between the shoulder blades.

How do you react?

Yosuke, why were you aiming at Nanako....

Fortunately, she's a pretty small target, so the snow actually sails over her and instead smashes into the trunk of a nearby tree growing on the side of the road. The impact shakes the upper branches and a bit of the snow covering them falls down on her head. Maybe that's... partial credit for an impact?

[gigglesnortpriestess]

That. Was. Cold.

She had some errands to run and that snowball was not helpful at all when it hit her. She didn't sound angry but there was a hinting of annoyance.

"Yosuke-kun, what are you doing?"

Careful, she might hit you back with a snowball too.

[whereibelong]

Well that was something Xion had not been expecting, and thus she yelped with surprise as the snow hit her. She had to wonder if it was Roxas or Lea or Axel, so she drops down to her knees, gathering up some nearby snow and packing it into a ball of her own.

Then within a few seconds she's back up, turning around and hurling one back behind her.

[misery_hates_company]

You. Did not. Just do that.

The witch pauses for a moment, then turns slowly back towards Yosuke. "May I HELP you?" she asks, in a tone of voice as cold as the snowball that hit her head.

[killervocabulary]

Call it a reflex from having encountered far too many rogue mages that are all to eager to hit a traveler in the back with a frost spell. Despite it not being as cold as the usual fare, and she doesn't feel slowed, Ginia hefts a mace from her hip, and turns on her heel. Even if she's running around in her civilian clothes, she's not backing down from an enemy.

Hope you've got a good explanation, Yosuke.

Yamato abruptly stopped when something cold and wet smacked into the back of his head with startling accuracy, the snow immediately sinking past the collar of his coat and down his back. For a moment Yamato was legitimately too startled to do anything except stand there for a long moment - then the indignation set in.

Did someone just...throw snow at him!?

Yamato turned around with a very unamused expression, his eyebrow twitching slightly as he zeroed in on the perpetrator. Tch...

"You better have a good reason for doing that..." he said, his tone deceptively calm.

Arturia was exhausted after a long day of work making deliveries and was walking alongside her moped when the snowball hit her. Her shoulders hunched briefly at the hit. Was she tired enough she couldn't notice that? What the heck?

Still, it was only snow. So she did what any sane teenage girl would do in such a situation:

She turned, scooping up a snowball of her own, and flung it right back at Yosuke.

[linefacingforever]

...and splat.

Congratulations, Yosuke. You just pegged your leader in the face with that huge wet one. The snow slid off of Yu's face... revealing that as usual, his expression didn't change from the usual lineface.

"...Yosuke."

[bondsofsuffering]

Oh man Yosuke, you have just declared war. He flinches when he first feels the snowball make contact with his back, but he's pretty quick to duck to the ground and scoop up a handful of snow, compacting it into a ball even as he searches for the person who hit him in the first place.

And considering there isn't anybody else around it could have possibly been... Have a snowball flying straight at your face, dude.

[recycleddestiny]

[WHAP.

Masamune doesn't jump, but there's a visible shudder as the snowball connects, and he stiffens instinctively.

A guy's just minding his own business and then he gets nailed. Ooooooh boy. Yosuke, you are so getting a facewash.

So. Yeah. Have a guy in his late teens with an eyepatch slowly turning to face whoever hit him. And probably looking ready to start something. Because Masamune doesn't sometimes realize how intimidating he might come off as.]

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"Hey! Watch where you're throwin' that thing!" the cranky old angel calls out. He's happy he's wearing warmer clothes, but dude, random snowballs are not on.

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

The younger girl he just hit - fortunately both wrapped in a parka and currently Absorbing ice damage - just kind of stumbles and blinks in surprise at getting pegged. Not because it was terribly shocking itself, but because she didn't see it coming, and that surprises her.

no regrets were had in the making of this tag

[destinedwaters]

Oh, don't mind the blue-haired young woman who doesn't really seem that much older than you, pausing for a moment when she feels the splat of a snowball hitting her in the back and automatically making her freeze in place. What-?!

Ah. It was just a snowball... Maybe she should...

...

Wait, where did she go? The lady was there a second ago, wasn't she? Well... unfortunately for Yosuke, cold weather did not equate to her not buying ice cream for her or her friends to enjoy. It just meant that it was likely to be accompanied by a cup of something warm to drink later. This time, though?

It equated to a style-change.

Don't mind her aiming and firing a blast of vanilla ice cream exactly where you hit her. Eye for an eye, after all. Also don't mind the strange sword-but-key in her hand. Master Keeper is totally a normal thing, okay.

[virtualbirdwatching]

Atoli stops in surprise. And yet, she figured something like this was going to happen eventually.

A sigh escapes from her lips as for a brief moment she remembers a world she rather wouldn't have on her mind. Her shoulders drop a little bit, and her head falls...

only for her to stoop down and start gathering some snow in her gloved hands.

[dreamprotector]

Honestly? Riku kind of could have done without the snow. This is the third time he's seen it - once during his visit in the Land of Dragons, the second time in the winter scape of Symphony of Sorcery - and well... the first time had been sort of fun in the challenge-your-best-friend-to-a-spar-in-the-snow-while-he-thinks-you-are-the-enemy-kind of way, and the second hadn't been for long (thankfully), but overall? He really, really could do without it.

(He's from a tropical island. Sue him.)

So... even though he has invested into a warm coat by now (and a sweater or two), he really, really isn't all too impressed by that snowball that just hit him on the back of his head. There are really only two people that he'd let get away with this.

He turns slowly, face blank and eyes narrowed. (...You might want to start planing a strategic retreat Yosuke.)

[electricyousei]

As the snowball hits the pale girl, looking to be around Yosuke's age who's attention seemed completely focused on something else she falls over into a snowbank. A moment later her head poking out of the snow and peering at Yosuke with a deadpan look.

".....I see."
