Fire AWAY! Snowball Contest
The snow had been an unexpected surprise as it fell gently to the ground the night before. She'd sat in the window watching it until her eyes would not stay up anymore. She supposed Zipporah or Jandar had gotten her to bed. Sleep, when it came, took her under hard. She woke to a brightness that was unaccustomed to her in the sanctuary of curtains and shutters Jandar had prepared. She applied the cream her sister crafted her and then looked out, gasping at the expanse of white covering the land. Only the fact that she held an office found her fastening all the layers of her clothing properly as she ran, shouting about snow and snowball fights. The door might have slammed behind her as she ran, the thick winter cloak Jandar somehow procured fluttering out behind her as her speed made her nimbly dance across the snow, wrinkling her nose when she realized she'd worn slippers not boots, the cold seeping into her shoes, a feeling she ignored. She was nearing the Court when she spotted him, and a few others trailing along in various places, the idea hit her, it was devious, it was going to be PERFECT! She scooped up a handful of snow and chunked it at her new brother in law. "Zuan! Catch!" she called, already darting behind a statue in the courtyard, to watch and see if her target struck true. With laughter in her voice she couldn't help but call "Snowball fight! Get the KING!" before throwing another.

Ella moved through the shadows from bedchamber at Westhollow in the early hours of the morning. The cloaked figure of the dark-haired woman appeared in the snow outside of Fenia Castle. There was a soft crunch of snow as she took a step towards the door but Ella's attention was promptly pulled away from her destination as she heard the voice of the Royal Secretary call out "Snowball fight! Get the KING!" She turned on her toes and caught sight of the blonde vampire launching a snowball as His Majesty. Her lips turning up in a smile, Ella bent down and packed a ball of snow in her leather gloved hands. Straightening up, she lobbed the ball directly towards the King. There was a thud as it made contact and Ella dipped into a curtsey.
"Good morning, Your Majesty."
Without another word, she disappeared into the shadows again.

Re: Fire AWAY! Snowball Contest
Alima was just getting the hang of this snowball throwing game, when she saw the request to hit the King with snowballs. It seem an odd thing to do, but who was she to judge the traditions of her new home. She threw several to make sure she did this right. Only one of the five she threw actually hit the king in the face...

Re: Fire AWAY! Snowball Contest
Laughter bubbled from her lips as others started joining in, using her vampire like strength she let fly a stream of snowballs and ducked against the nearest tree, her chest heaving for once, the exertion actually affecting her. She danced through the snow throwing and throwing until she felt her cheeks pinked in the cold wind, and her arm burned a bit.

*Archadeas stumbles upon a large pile of snow and looks towards the castle and a bit of a low mood* The king sits on his throne while we work out here. *A sudden strike of inspiration dons on him* The Hunt is On!
*He rips open a portal and starts making snowballs, dropping them into the portal and takes a small metal plate with holes and numbers on it, he looks through the holes towards the castle, opens 2 smaller portals, then he takes out a snowball from the main portal and drops it in the small portal to his side, 3 seconds later the snowball fires out of the portal above his head, screaming across the sky, breaking the window to Zuan's study and smacking him in the face* Ah, perfectly ranged, I knew this range plate would come in handy, now let the siege begin! *he starts taking out more and more snowballs dropping them into the portal at his side, screaming projectiles can be heard for miles as some hit, while others sail off target, breaking windows, shattering stone blocks, striking passers by, birds, and peasants causing some of them to burst into a red spray, in the far distance, some land striking the ground, spraying stone and frozen dirt into the air*
Feel the wrath of my snowball mortar! *He laughs maniacally and reaches into the portal, only to realize he is out of snowballs*
Maybe I need to use potatoes next? *he lowers his head dejected, but starts seeking more ammunition for his portal mortar, he then stumbles across the request to throw snowballs at the king and he stares blankly at the message*
Throwing is such a primitive siege tactic.
((Is it bad that I have been throwing every snowball I had at Zuan already? Also, I am top spot for throwing
))

Re: Fire AWAY! Snowball Contest
Being a more nocturnal cat, person... she slightly giggled person. She was out and about when the snow started falling. First, it made her stop in her tracks, what was this crazy white stuff falling from the sky. Going home for the night to get warm and sleep. She awoke to the ground being cover in a blanket of white cold fluffiness. She would need to find something warmer than what she had. Maybe it was time to seek out her family. She couldn't keep sleeping in her place it was colder and she didn't like being cold. She dressed in what she had and set out to find somewhere warmer.
"Snowball fight! Get the KING!" She heard loudly. Running to see what was going on. She made it in time see Mel throwing the white crunchy stuff at the king. Skye couldn't help but laugh. OH! This is snow she thought as she picks up some and let them fly towards the king. "It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission." She said to the King with a smile and a deep curtsey. "Till we meet again," she said running off.
((Nope Archades. I was doing the same. ))

Re: Fire AWAY! Snowball Contest
Shiva was new to Fenia and trying to get adjusted in her new home when she heard about the contest. She couldn't resist. Even without using her shapeshifting abilities, she was certain that no one would recognize her, because she was a stranger. She packed up a couple snowballs and threw it at the king.

Re: Fire AWAY! Snowball Contest
Nikola had been mostly throwing snowballs at her best friend, John, as well as TK. But when she saw the King being pelted she had to give it a shot.

Re: Fire AWAY! Snowball Contest
This time she wanted to catch the King when he wasn't looking but it seems she wasn't the only one doing that today. Seeing the king covered in snow Sky launched her snowballs at him.
