Snow has fallen in the Nexus! Fat, fluffy flakes of white, piling and drifting from ankle- to knee-depth in places. It may still be falling, in places, and in the midst of it all is a Norse godling packing snowballs and a grin. "I swear, I had nothing to do with it--but! What's your favorite thing to do with a fresh fall of snow?"

"Oh, yeah." Jim bites at the middles finger if his glove and pulls it off in a sweep before reaching into his pockets underneath his coat and coming out with a phone. He hopes Clint is awake this time.

"....Hey Clint? Everything's okay, you up?"

You saw nothing. *jedi mind trick*

[aw_hawkguy]

"Jim!" Clint answers, half-jumping-up, then relaxing. "Yeah, I'm up. Just catchin' up on Dog Cops. You wanna come over? I got coffee-flavored beer and I'll pause the teevo 'til you get here."

We saw nothing

"I was thinking more....a snowball fort war that may or may not include, Verity, Loki, and Reynard, plus whoever else gets involved. In the mood to show off and cause some trouble?"

"We're teamin' up with Verity to own the snow? Yeah, I'm there! Lemme just put some warm stuff on, and I'll head out."

[smartass_captain]

"Sort of. See you soon!" Jim snaps his phone shut and gives Reynard a huge grin.

"And now, we ride to victory, my friend." Holy butts, that tower is coming along hella fast, Rey!

It's only coming along slowly because it wouldn't be as fun to outright cheat and have the snow form itself into one instantly. He'll pause to consider his work and then grin at Jim. "Are you volunteering to be my loyal steed?"

[smartass_captain]

"Obligatory 'Ride me' joke goes here, by the way." The phone is tucked away, back on goes the glove, and Jim throws himself whole heartedly into finishing the walls. He's certainly a lot slower than Winter Magic, but hopefully more fun to watch.

"Alright, I think that's a good start for the walls. Whew. Okay. What's next?"

[shardofwinter]

Reynard walks over to the walls, covering the outer layer with the thinnest layer of ice to make their opponent's side slippery. He doesn't mind walking on top of them either, since he doesn't sink through the snow. "We need a readily available arsenal. The more snowballs at our disposal the quicker we'll get them waving the white flag."

[smartass_captain]

"Good thing this snow is the perfect wetness for packing. Otherwise this would be one huge pain in the ass." Jim sets about making a mound at one corner of the walls and then hollowing out the middle to give it a bowl shape. Now they've got a place to store all that sweet, sweet ammunition.

Snowball making at warp three, Captain!

Hey, here comes Clint! And he's pulling... a kettle grill and a wheeled cooler? He stops a good distance from the forts and waves, before he starts setting up the grill.

[shardofwinter]

A grill out in the middle of the snow is a wonderful way to stop a Winter spirit in his tracks to just... stare. He wrestles with a torn feeling before deciding that how Wintery this is depends entirely on what's being cooked.

"I thought you ordered backup, not dinner," he remarks to Jim.
