She'll... chill you to the bone. YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAH [BBS/ID TILMITT, SELPHIE] [Video/Action]

[selphie_t]

[Selphie may have been particularly and unusually quiet since she came back to Garden but hey, 22 years of catching up can take quite some time. On top of that, she had to learn how to use the laptop before she cast Firaga on it like she'd threatened when it started crashing on her. Thankfully for the Garden Tech Support staff, they gave her another laptop and instructions on how to operate it. Quiet all you tech saavy types, they didn't have laptops at Garden during the war, okay?

However, the perky brunette wasn't expecting to open the curtains in her room on this very special morning to snow. It wasn't just any snow, either. It was the snow with the big fluffy flakes that glittered in the sunlight and everyone on the second floor of the dorms is going to hear the girl squealing with delight for all it's worth. Feel free to come and find out what all the commotion is as she's scrambling to set up her webcam to start recording the gently falling flakes.]

Garden! Everybody, make a wish! If you don't know about the Snow Fairies, then you clearly haven't spent enough time at the awesomeness that is Trabia Garden!

Otherwise, snowball fight in the courtyard in half an hour. Be there or be square!

[Then she's leaning in with an excited look on her face. Really, she looks like a kid who's walked into a candy store for the first before grinning at everybody with a mischievous glint in her eyes.]

Or if you want your sheets frozen then by all means, skip out.

Selphie, out!

[And with a peace sign to the camera, the feed cuts out.]

... Snow fairies?

What are you talking about?

[selphie_t]

Haven't you been to Trabia before?

[scatterflower]

No. I'm not from this world. This was only my first quarter here.

[midgarhorizon]

Sheets frozen? Sounds like fun.

[selphie_t]

Only if you don't come out to the snowball fight.

[midgarhorizon]

Oh, snowball fight. That's kind of disappointing.

[eventohell]

Having clearly missed the video post, Riza unknowingly walks into the middle of a snowball ambush in the courtyard. Suddenly, running that little errand was the last thing on her mind. She stood absolutely still, processing what had just happened.

Seeing a snowball coming at her from the left, she fluidly ducked-resisting the urge to pull out a firearm.

She knew the snowball was from you, Selphie.]

[selphie_t]

Look --

[Selphie laughs sheepishly as she catches the cold glare from Riza. Man, if looks could kill.]

Sorry!

[eventohell]

[She stood and observed the brunette girl carefully, quickly coming to the conclusion that she was in no way a threat.]

Its fine.

[She brushes off the snow from her uniform before giving Selphie a reassuring smile.

See, she's not all bite. XD]

Were you expecting someone?

[marearcana]

I don't know how many of us would have much reason to be there... are you from Trabia then?

~Twilight Sparkle

[selphie_t]

Why not? Trabia's awesome! Like, booyaka awesome!

Yep, I'm from Trabia.

[marearcana]

Mind explaining? I haven't exactly been there, so I wouldn't know what's so great about it.

[She wants your travel advice.]

[gotgreedy]

It's too easy. The sheets-warming jokes, I mean. So what're the terms of the challenge?

[selphie_t]

[Greed, it's too early to be breaking people's brains.]

No terms to the challenge with the exception of sneak attacks being a no-go!

[gotgreedy]

What, no wagers? You must not be very confident if you're not willing to bet on winning.

[elementofloyalty]

hey don't go thanking any snow fairies. that's MY snow out there. figured we could use some hearth's warming snow.

[selphie_t]

What? So you fly crazy fast but there's no way you make snow.

[elementofloyalty]

i don't make the actual snowflakes but i brought the clouds over and kicked the snow out of them

[weddingcrasher]

Snowball fight, courtyard, half an hour...got it! And I am so there!

[selphie_t]

See ya out there then!

[rewritethis]

[Did she expect everyone interested in the snow to respond to her post? Yeah, right. How can you expect to win a fight if you're willing to give away your position so soon?

However, slightly less than half an hour later, the moment anyone steps within a few metres of one particular tree somewhere in the courtyard: incoming!

It's not especially difficult to spot where the snowball came from; its perpetrator is mainly counting on the fact that black and white shouldn't stick out too much in this wintry landscape...]

[selphie_t]

[Oh, Ed. You honestly think that black is going to camouflage you in broad daylight? Forget it, buster because winter warfare is one of Selphie's specialties as she emerges from underneath a pile a snow and bombards you with snowballs.

How do you like dem apples?]

[rewritethis]

[Hey, he was in a tree, doesn't that count for anything?! "Was" being the operative word, because it's pretty damn hard to hold onto a tree under this kind of fire. His yelp of surprise as he falls turns into a muffled choking noise a second or two later when the rest of the snow on the tree branches decides to follow. There wasn't much to begin with, but then it doesn't take much to bury him...

With some effort, coughing all the while, he drags himself out from under the pile, props himself up with his arms and glares round.] You dumb jerk! What the hell was that for?!

[thumbsize]

But-- [ Oh the horror! ] I don't want to turn into a square!

[selphie_t]

How will you turn into a square?
