[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. )

['Hah! If this is the level of aim I'm dealing with, I can totally do this... maybe.'

He starts to just stockpile a few snowballs. And steals that one Firo just threw.]

[This time instead of looking around the bush, he leans up to take a look above, even if this means he's pretty vulnerable for a minute or two, he wants to get a look around and see if he can see Kyon]

[ Abandoning his shelter behind the tree, Firo advances with two snowballs. He throws them both right at the bushes. He knows they won't hit Kyon, but hopes they'll drive him out of hiding. ]

[The inviting target of Kid #1, along with the suspicion that they're coming for him which is quickly confirmed by the two snowballs hitting near him, do in fact drive Kyon to leap up, snowballs in hand. From his stockpile of six, he immediately throws one back in that general direction before grabbing the rest in the crook of his arm -- unfortunately exposed as he may be for the moment.]

[Seto yelps when he throws a snowball and ducks back down, only to peek up for another second to try and toss his own snowball at Kyon. Sadly he doesn't have good aim so it's probably going to hit the tree next to him]

[ Firo jumps and scrambles to avoid Kyon's snowball. He manages to throw one in response, but his haste makes it inaccurate and not liable to hit. ]

['Gee, I'm standing right here and no one seems to be able to hit me. I feel like the hero of an action movie.'

And given that, he will take his sweet time returning fire, one apiece relatively carefully aimed at the other two this time.]

[Maybe if Seto scoots closer he'll have a better chance of hitting Kyon. That's possible right? Well he's going to try it either way. So sneaking along the bushes, he slowly gets closer to his opponent and...

He throws a snowball! If Kyon doesn't move fast enough, it'll hit his side]

[ Having already been hit by Kyon's one snowball, Firo decides to just stay out in the open. He darts forward, foolishly not taking cover as he throws another snowball at Kyon. ]

[Welp. Kyon gets smacked twice this time.

'...It seems overconfidence was my downfall. But now all the cards are on the table! Nothing left to do but attack.'

He sweeps up his remaining ammunition and charges at the guy in the open, starting with a flurry of two snowballs.]

[As Kyon starts aiming for Firo, Seto makes a few more snowballs before throwing on at his back. Can he hit him?!]

[ Both snowballs hit Firo. With a laugh, he ducks down to make some of his own, throwing one at Kyon and one at Seto. ]

[Kyon, charging ahead now, throws his next two in the direction of where the other snowball came from, while swerving aside, and nearly into a bush, to avoid the balls whirling past.]

[Seto peeks up again to see if the snowball hit when one of the snowballs thrown at him, whirls over his head and the other smacks him right in the face. Down he goes to fall into the snow behind him]

[ Firo curses quietly as Kyon once again disappears from view. He starts preparing more snowballs, but pauses when he sees Seto tumble over. ]

Hey, Seto, you okay?

[Kyon will be behind that bush dusting off his coat and licking his 'wounds' (and making more snowballs) for a while.]

[Seto's just going to pop his head back up over the bush]

I'm okay!

Good.

[ Firo scoops up a few more snowballs and starts advancing. His intent is to try and sneak around the bush to ambush Kyon, but stealth isn't exactly his forte... ]

[Kyon remains intent, however, on increasing his snowball quotient, having run out halfway through his charge last time. Sounds like they're recovering, so there's time, he thinks.]

[For now, Seto stays in the safety of his bush and just peeks out to see what's going to happen]

[ Firo keeps walking forward and once he's only a few yards away from Kyon's bush he tries to throw a snowball over it. ]

['...A siege!'

A hurtling snowball comes over and whizzes past; and so, Kyon finds himself flushed out. Naturally, he leaps up and starts wildly tossing snowballs again.]

[AHHH. Seto just yelps and ducks back down once the snowballs start flying everywhere, one or two smacking the front of the bush that he's hiding behind.]

[ Firo gets hit a few times before ducking behind a tree for cover. He sets about gathering more snowballs and waiting for Kyon to come out. ]

[Kyon depletes his ammunition stock to two snowballs again before ceasing his fire again and looking for a bush to hide behind. Unfortunately, the one he's forced into ducking behind this time is decidedly little cover.]
