The Lobby & Front Lawn of the Dorms | Monday All Day

[snowdroplace]

For the record, neither girl had been outside yet.

"Do you think anyone will mind us having a snowball fight on the lawn?" Elli asked, worriedly, as she peered outside and pulled on her mittens.

Nina bounced, curls flying everywhere despite the hat she was wearing. "If they do, we just hit them with snowballs even more," she reasoned.

"Nina!" Elli protested.

With a laugh, Nina spun. "It'll be fine!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop being such a worrywart, Elli!!!!!!!! Live a little!!!!!!!!"

"I live just fine," Elli murmured, feeling a bit stung. "I just don't want to get in trouble!"

Which was going to happen, though not the kind of trouble Elli was worried about. Heh.

"It's okay," Nina said, smiling. "I'll take the blame if anyone's really upset, okay?????? Holly Jollies are fearless!!!!!!!!!!"

"Well, that's not fair either…"

"Do the Snow Bunnies want the right or left side of the lawn to start with??????????"

Elli sighed, but she was smiling. "Right," she said, "because we'll have the right to win that way."

Nina burst out laughing.

[Come join the snowball fight! Plz wait for the OCD has been eaten by candy canes!]

Yeah, like, Nina wasn't going to worry too much about clever strats or sneaky tactics because this was just for fun!

"We hit them hard and fast and crow about our victory!!!!!!!!! The heavens will resound with our joy!!!!!!!!!"

You know who didn't have problems throwing snowballs at girls?

And Troy also didn't have a problem hunkering down on Nina's.side because he definitely did not want to be on the side opposite of Nina.

"I say we build up on ammo," he offered in a low voice, "like...a lot. And them wham. Hit 'em all at once."

Nina's beaming grin today was free and uncomplicated, even if she was going to be working with Troy.

"There's trees we can hide stockpiles behind???????" she suggested.

"I learned how to make a trebuchet in science today," Shuri said, grinning.

See, this was why Nina wasn't worried about winning.

She giggled. Wickedly.

"How hard do you think it'd be to make them for this????????"

Re: Team Holly Jollies!

[scoffs_at_tradition]

"Not that hard!" Shuri said. "How many do you want?"

She grinned. "And you have to take a selfie of them with me to make my brother sigh."

"Consider that done!!!!!!!!!"

Nina surveyed the teams.

"Two, I think," she mused. "Like, more than that and it just feels unsporting, you know?????????"

Re: Team Holly Jollies!

[scoffs_at_tradition]

"One for the other team, the second for the attacking candy canes?" Shuri suggested.

………..

"I'm sorry, what??????????"

Nina hadn't been outside yet, Shuri.

Re: Team Holly Jollies!

[scoffs_at_tradition]

"Oh, you didn't know that?" Shuri said. "There's candy cane sharks in the snow. Is that not normal?"

Re: Team Holly Jollies!

[bookbeltof_love]

Nina looked deeply torn.

"That's not normal," she admitted. "But, like, I think it's pretty awesome????????"

Elli was not going to think it was awesome.

"They try to drag you into snowbanks, but they're candy canes, so they're not terribly bright about it," Shuri said.
