[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. )

A snowman? [BIIG QUESTION MARK]

Hey, good idea.

[ He glances down at Seto. ]

You know, like a man made outta three really big snowballs stacked on top of each other. Wanna try?

You won't have to worry about your accuracy with snowballs, at least. There should be enough snow to make a decent-sized one.

Ah--really?? Can we make one then??

[Looking from Terra to Firo over and over]

Sure.

[ Firo looks at Terra. ]

You up for it?

[He gives a nod. He wouldn't really think of making a snowman by himself, but with some friends?]

Sure. We can start with the bottom and go from there. [Terra looks at Seto.] So we'll need to start gathering up a lot of snow.

Okay! [He let's go of both of his friends and makes his way over to a mound of snow, kneeling down beside it as he starts to scoop it all up until one big pile. He isn't quite sure where to go with this but he'll just gather some more snow and see what they tell him to do next]

[ Back home Firo would be way too embarrassed to help make a snowman. A snowball fight can be compared to training, but a snowman's nothing but fun. But here he doesn't have to worry about business contacts or policemen showing up or impressing his Family. He's still a little hesitant, but soon joins Seto. Anyway, it has to be okay if he's helping a kid. ]

Good.

[ It looks like Seto's already got the hang of it. Firo starts piling on the snow alongside Seto. ]

[It seemed like a long time since he's had snow between his fingers, but he reminds himself of that one time where he and Ven had been dumped in a snowfield because of the battle dome malfunctioning. This is nowhere as stressful or bewildering, and he starts helping out with gathering the snow.

After a moment, he looks over in Firo's direction and offers a hand.]

Didn't introduce myself. I'm Terra.

[Slowly but surely, Seto tries to pat the snow into a ball, a rather big ball. He stops to look up at Terra then at Firo and smiles. It's nice to see two of his friends getting along]

Ah- right, sorry.

[ Firo stops packing the snow long enough to reach over to shake Terra's hand. ]

I'm Firo Prochainezo. Nice to meet'cha.

[He grips Firo's hand for a moment, smiling and nodding before dropping his hand.] Nice to meet you too.

[With the greeting over, he averts his attention to Seto.] We're going to need things for the snowman's face and arms later, too. Keep an eye out for anything that'll work.

What do you normally use for a snowman's face??

[He thinks he's got an idea of what they would use for the arms but would they use... rocks or something for eyes? And what about the nose? Surely a stick won't cut it]

I think most people do rocks for the eyes and mouth and then a carrot for the nose. But we could probably use a rock or a stick for that too.

[ Firo walks over to the base of a nearby tree and starts collecting some sticks. ]
