Eighth firefly - [accidental video]/[action] - Early afternoon on the 18th

[Accidental Video]

[The first thing to be recorded is Seto falling down on his butt in the snow. His face and hair now covered in snow, as if snowball at hit him square in the face. Which... one did actually. He hadn't seen it coming. He blinks once, then twice, then brushes the cold snow off his already pink cheeks, giving someone that can't be seen, a pout.]

What was that for??

[And then another voice in the background replies] Ah... That's just how ya play the game. Sorry, Seto!

...Oh... [Totally unsure of what game this is, Seto decides to go ahead and give it a try himself. Mimicking what he saw Firo do, he gathers up some of the snow into a ball then hurls it at his target. Luckily it hits right on]

H--Hey! [Firo pauses for a moment, then laughs] ...Good job.

[Seto just grins then stands up, reaching down to pick up the journal] What's that game call-- [The feed cuts off as he shuts it]

[Action]

[ Anyone about town may spot two Luceti residents taking full advantage of the winter wonderland. Seto and Firo can be found racing through the snow and happily pelting each other with snowballs or pooling their efforts to make a snowman that's only slightly lopsided.

It's such fun that Firo's too distracted to try for a pretense of maturity and Seto has overcome his worry about the snow. Though perhaps the loss of fear due to the many layers of winter clothes he's swaddled in, which make Seto bear some resemblance to a marchmallow. The snow splatters on their clothes show that they've been at this for a while.

Stop by and join the fun? Or perhaps get caught in the crossfire? ]

(ooc: Blue is Seto, green is Firo. Action threads will be 3-person threads, the order will be You -> Seto -> Firo! If you decide to reply by video/voice/written, those replies will come only from Seto. )

'Oh, that's a great thing to tell someone who almost got hit by one.'

Can't say it's that easy not to worry after that news.

I wouldn't let him use that type of stuff in snowballs, so it really is okay.

[He doesn't want people to get hurt] Hey! You wanna play with us?

I wasn't gonna do it anyway!

[ He gives Seto a playful shove on the shoulder. ]

Yeah, you wanna play?

No thanks... I mean, I wouldn't want to make you guys look bad.

'Heh. I mean, I did this kind of thing when I was younger, but... Yeah, it's not really my thing now, is it? Well, I can imagine it happening under some circumstances, I guess.'

Oh c'mon! It'll still be loads of fun. Please?

[Pretty pleeease]

[ Is that a challenge? Firo nods along with Seto's request. ]

If ya think you're good enough to make us look bad you gotta prove it.

'Do I have too much dignity for this? Maybe not.'

We'll see, we'll see.

[He plots sniping at them from a distance.]

Really??

[You have to hurry up and decide! It's cold out here you know]

[ Firo decides to take that 'maybe' as a 'yes' and is already making another snowball. Come on, you can't say no Seto. ]

We'll see.

[And he starts stomping off. To duck behind the nearest obstacle and prepare something to throw.]

'Let off some steam or something.'

[Seto almost starts to follow him when he sees Kyon duck behind something and stops to stare. What's he doing]

Ya think he's gonna stick around?

[ Firo keeps his own snowball at the ready for when Kyon shows his face again. ]

[It'll be a moment. But then a snowball comes whizzing out from behind the something. It's quite fast! But also quite inaccurate. I WONDER WHAT THAT COULD BE.]

[AHH--SUDDENLY A SNOWBALL. Seto decides to try and move out of the way, laughing at the same time]

I think he's going to play with us!

Looks like it!

[ The speed alone of the snowball makes Firo jump, though luckily it doesn't hit. Firo makes a snowball and tosses it towards Kyon's hiding spot. ]

['My faithful barrier will protect me...! Sheesh, what kind of mood is this, anyway?'

He starts edging backwards, looking to run around to the back without being seen, with one snowball in hand in case it turns into a situation.]

[Now it's Seto's turn to throw a snowball at their attacker. He leans down and scoops up a good amount of snow and begins to ball it up then slowly starts walking over to where he saw the snowball come from.

Where are you Kyonnn... ]

[ Firo makes another snowball and starts walking slowly in the same direction as Seto. Maybe if they're careful they can corner him. ]

[Kyon starts ducking around the corner, hoping that they haven't decided to flank him or something.

'Seize the advantage! That's what Sun Tzu says... or something. Right?'

He's hoping to get behind them and then let loose. With his... one snowball. Better plans have been made.]

[Where oh where could their playmate have gone? Seto makes a run for it behind one of the trees where he saw the snowball come from and peeks around it to look for him, but sadly, no sign...]

I don't see him!

Maybe he moved. Keep your eyes peeled...

[ Firo jogs to catch up to Seto and then starts peering around the trees beyond Kyon's former hiding spot. ]

['Ah, sweet success!'

Kyon takes the time to bend down and start to scoop a second snowball before he spins around and hurls his one snowball wildly at them.]

[Seto barely has time to react when he spots the snowball coming right at him. He yelps as it hits him right in the face, freezes then slowly wipes the cold snow off his face. Laughing, he throws his snowball in the direction that other one came from]

I'll get you for that!

[ Firo watches Kyon's snowball speed by and hit Seto. He forms another snowball and fires back to around the spot he saw it come from, and then dashes off to take cover behind a tree. ]

[Kyon dodges one but isn't so lucky with the other, which smacks into his coat. He grimaces and tosses the other snowball, successfully hitting a tree, then starts to scoop more snowballs out, while ducking behind a tree himself again.]
