melodiesoflife | SNOWBALL FIGHT START~!

Characters: Yuffie Kisaragi and OPEN!
Where: Aqures Ixen.. EVERYWHERE!
When: 7th of December
Summary: Yuffie is going to try and start a snowball fight that spans the entire city. No one is safe!!!
Warning: Lots of snow~!

Zack was gone, a new collection of heroes gathered and Yuffie was bored. Honestly what could she do? She didn't want to sit and wait for something to happen. Training was always something to do but it was less fun when she was alone. After a startling discovery Yuffie realized that she didn't want to be alone.

She jumped out of her window landing in the soft white fluffy snow below. That was an idea! Yuffie scooped up the snow forming a perfect ball as an evil grin slipped across her lips.

Yes, that was a great idea!

Yuffie collected snow and began making snowballs. After she made 10 decently sized snowballs she took off towards the city looking for targets. It didn't matter where you were, what you were doing or who was around. Yuffie used her ninja skills to silently sneak up and pelt all those in her path. Those who know her might have gotten more than just one snowball sent their way. No one was safe.

[[OOC: Feel free to make top posts and tag around. All can enjoy a snow ball fight!!!]]

"A-" He attempted to say something, but whatever it was, his mouth was filled with cold snow before he could get anything else out.

"Hey..." he hacked while trying to spit out the snow. "You!" There was only one person who called him "spud" and he knew that she had to be nearby. "YUFFIE!" He glared around him, searching for movement on the group. A figure on a nearby roof caught his eye, and he spun around to face her.

Her grin widened at his accusation. "That is my name." She tossed another snowball at him with a smile.

"Think you can keep up?"

Now he was able to see her. He ducked as the next snowball whizzed towards him, this time, hitting his hat with enough force that it would have knocked it over to the next building if he wasn't clutching onto its rim.

"Stop this at once!" He jumped down the short flight of stairs started running behind the houses, trying to take cover. There was absolutely no way a Teensie with scrawny arms like his would be able to throw something hard enough at the roof.

"Why? It's fun!" Her grin was wide as she collected snow into her hand for another throw.

Yuffie wasn't letting him off the hook that easily.

Ales dove into a nearby snow pile, careful to keep himself bundled up as he burrowed a hollow in there like a small animal. There would be no point in pelting him with snow if he were already surrounded by it, right?

He hoped that he'd be free to leave before hypothermia set in. If he were to get his revenge, he'd have to be healthy enough to work.

"Oh! Come on!"

Yuffie circled him looking for the entrance to his burrow to at least just toss another snowball at him. If that didn't work she had something more drastic planned.

She was getting too close. Ales burrowed deeper, cursing himself for not bringing a scarf today. The plan was to tunnel under the hopefully-thick-enough layer of snow and get back inside his house with his bare hands.

He picked a direction that seemed correct, but his hands were already getting cold. There were two options left: keep digging, or risk it and run for it?

Yuffie has completely lost sight of him and she was starting to get bored by the effort. She stomped a foot against the ground and turned on her heel.

"Fine be that way."

Ales waited in the snow until he didn't hear her anymore. Was she gone? Carefully, he poked the top of his head out of the snow to take a look.

It definitely looked like she got bored and walked away, probably to torment the more mature members of society. In one jump, he got himself out and ran back inside. His plan to go for a walk today was ruined, but now that was replaced with something else: revenge.

He spent the rest of the morning in his room, coming up with a blueprint for a snow catapult. It didn't have to be too durable, just enough to hold the weight of a large lump of snow. Oh, how Yuffie will regret ever sneak attacking him like that.

It was just starting to get dark when he finally was finished. The catapult was twice as large as him, but he made sure to use the lightest metal and wood he had on him. It probably wouldn't be too accurate, but as long as it threw two pounds of snow into Yuffie's face, he was happy.

He dragged the whole thing out the front door, then took a moment to ask where Yuffie went. It would be a good idea to take the catapult closer to her before loading it.

When he spotted Yuffie she was having a war with a few of the kids in the city. They got wind of her snowball plans and were having fun with the young hero. She got hit as much as they did, no longer bothering to hide herself from their snowballs. It was now just a competition to see who could hit who more.

If he got to close there was no doubt that Yuffie would notice.

Oh ho ho ho.

Oh ho ho ho.

This made things very easy. Ales hid behind a few boxes just tall enough to hide him and the catapult, cranked it, and began piling snow onto it. Every few handfuls, he compressed the lump so that it stuck together. He'd much rather have Yuffie get his by a giant ball of snow instead of being sprayed by it.

Once satisfied with his diabolical plan, he took a quick peek behind the boxes to make sure she was still distracted. Only one chance to do this.

He ran out, pushing the catapult, took aim, and hit the lever, releasing a six-inch snowball at the ninja.

She was quick but without warning she couldn't get completely out of its way. She jumped to the side, pulling one of the kids that might be in this path with her, tossing them into the safety of the soft snow.

The snow ball hits her feet and slams her into the ground, luckily that's padded. She brushed off the snow and quickly stood with a grin slipping across her lips. Her ankles and caffs were red from the impact of the dense snow but she didn't really seem to pay it any mind. She scooped up a snowball and gestured at Ales to the kids.

"Come one guys! Lets get him!"

With that prompt she charged with 10 kids running behind her, throwing snowballs at the little hero.

Ales let out a muffled, jolly giggle when Yuffie was knocked over. It didn't hit her in the face, but this was sweet enough.

His laughter ended quickly when the kids lined up behind Yuffie to avenge her. It was too late to realize that while the ninja was distracted when playing with children, this also create plenty of witnesses.

Witnesses eager to hit him back. But they were tiny, young witnesses.

This would be just like his other getaway. All he needed was a distraction and then he'd had a head start. Alright, so he wouldn't be able to escape all of their snowballs, but it would be better than nothing.

He leaned towards his side, acting as if he spotting something behind the group. "Hey, what's that cat doing here?" And before waiting for a response, he dashed back home as fast as he could, leaving his catapult behind.

Yuffie didn't fall for such a thing though a few of the kids did. After that there were only 4 chasing him. Everyone picking up and throwing snow at the little hero as he waddled away.

Part way through their case Yuffie dropped to the snow, letting the other kids continue to run after him. It might be time for her to go home too.

They were catching up! Ales ducked into side streets, regretting this already. Each time he got closer to his house, another set of snowballs rained at him, some hitting him. At one point, the kids knocked off his hat and laughed when they found out that he was wearing a wig. He was pelted with another ball as he stopped to pick it up.

They only got tired of chasing him once he reached the perimeter of the housing district, but by then, he was soaking wet and tired from all that running.

He slammed the door once he was inside, grateful for heating housing, and trudged to the kitchen, where Mimi was drinking some soup.

"A-Ales! Kupo! Are you okay? What happened?" She flew over to him. The worst thing that could happen to her hero was for him to die of hypothermia. Not exactly the most noble of deaths.

"Snowball fight," he replied miserably and pushed a stool to the stove. "I'll just eat and go to sleep today." He climbed up. "We have something valuable to retrieve from the city tomorrow."

Mimi watched him nervously the entire time, and only went back to her dinner once Ales went upstairs.
