16th Flight: [Action]

[skyborne_mage]

[It is probably none too surprising that most of the trees in Luceti now have snow-covered branches.

However, a few observant folks might notice that not all of the snow appears undisturbed...

Arche snickers as she places the last of her snowball piles in the boughs of Luceti's trees.] Perfect. Now everything's set up.

[She is now going to fly around the village, looking for people out and about who might prove amusing targets. She's got snowballs stashed pretty much everywhere, so the only question is: Are you going to be one of her victims?]

[When the snowballs come raining down, he dashes for cover as well, avoiding some of the missiles, getting pegged by the others. Hiding behind another tree, he packs together another snowball before peeking out, drawing a bead on his assailant, and firing.]

Sooner or later, you're gonna run outta ammo!

Maybe, but by that time you'll be a snowman!

[She leans against the tree trunk to dodge that (though it still clips her nose) and launches a few more.]

[screw-the-rules.livejournal.com]

[He ducks behind the tree to avoid those--although he does get covered by some more of the snow fallout when they hit the tree.]

Think so? Hn. Fat chance. Two can play at this game, y'know!

[No more snowballs are forthcoming, however. Hmmm...what's he doing back there?]

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

[It's not too hard to figure out what he's doing, so Arche figures the best counter is to shift positions. Grabbing a few snowballs and her broom, she flies to another tree while he's distracted, trying to get a better angle for her shots.]

[screw-the-rules.livejournal.com]

[Yup, he's been compiling his own arsenal, so when he finally steps out from behind the tree, he's got a snowball in each hand...and no one to chuck them at.]

Hey! Where'd ya go?

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

Right here!

[There is just enough delay between her yelling that and the snowball throw for him to turn around and get snowballed in the face.]

[screw-the-rules.livejournal.com]

[Gah! He gets another faceful of snow--and drops one of the newly made snowballs he's holding.]

Oh, man...you're gonna get it now!

[Shakes the snow out of his eye and wings the remaining snowball at her.]

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

Try me! [She mostly dodges that one, getting clipped in the shoulder a bit, and wings another two at his chest and legs.]

[screw-the-rules.livejournal.com]

[He dives behind the tree for more ammo, so misses getting hit in the chest; she scores a hit on his legs, however. Grabbing another two snowballs, he rushes the tree she's in, pegging both at her in rapid succession.]

I'm gonna knock you outta that tree, girl!

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

[She ducks one, but that makes the other one get her smack in the face. She quickly rubs it off.]

I don't think so! [She hurls one down at his shoulder.]
