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?"

Do not look to Ver for strategy. Her strategy would be "let's go get cocoa".

"A moat?" Okay, if Loki says so, she'll give Harrow the thumbs-up on that idea. This new look she's giving Naugus is approving. She much prefers they not actually try to kill one of her brothers and two of her friends.

"Hughes. Colonel Hughes is the guy in the blue coat," she supplies. "He's nice. He's got a wife and little girl at home, so definitely no trying to wreck him. Let's just... try to corner them so they have to surrender?" Surrender means concessions, and that could be fun.

"Let's please leave that creepy doctor alone. He's dangerous." And she's afraid of him. No hiding it.

Loki's enthusiasm is all the encouragement Harrow needs to quickly bind his hands back onto his wrists and get to work. He hops over the small fort wall they've built and gets straight to digging around their fort. Now and then he lifts his head up and twists his ears around to hear for anyone that might be trying to sneak up on him. He's exposed, after all! This is a dangerous place to be. Only the bravest of dogmen would even dare. The bravest and most humble.

Everyone else is free to work within the fort while he gets his dig on.

"Why are we playing in the snow when we could be combating horrors?!" Naugus is horrified at these people's priorities when it comes to all-out war. They will not survive the first onslaught. But fine. Once he hears Hughes is yonder, he's in.

And is already conjuring a massive snowball to prepare for just that. Waving hand and claw, flakes start to swirl and pack together and is already the size of a basketball. And he's not stopping.

"Aw, okay. I guess we won't throw snow at Dr. Creep." Verity is more sensible about eldritch horrors than Loki.

Seeing that the wall is in good shape and the moat is taking form, Loki gets started on ammunition. They're going to need a lot of well-formed snowballs, and who knows better than him how to do them? (Naugus surely has an answer to that question, but LOKI'S NOT LISTENING!)

The big snowball Naugus is conjuring does get some envious looks, though--Loki needs to learn some ice magic, or any magic, in a hurry.
brave_heart_verity: (fragile)

Forgive her, Nexus, she did not know what she was doing when she called for help!

Verity's pretty sure she's in over her head now. This was supposed to be fun. Not talking about horrors eldritch or otherwise.

"Loki, sweetheart, why don't you go see if you can spy on the other team? You'd be the best at it." She'll give him a little nudge and waits for him to scamper off before she turns to Naugus.

"Naugus, he's just a kid. He's too young to be going after horrors. I thought you'd have fun with some harmless games and getting to wreck a fort Jim is building." Don't make her wibble her lower lip at you, grandpa. She'll do it if she has to!
ixis: (Annoyed)

Jumpin' order with Harrow's permission

It's not a day in the Nexus if we don't talk about eldritch horrors!

Naugus pauses in his conjuration, the snowball hovering and somewhere around the size of a yoga ball. "What? Isn't he a god? Wouldn't that be the sort of person best equipped to go after horrors? Wait, that fort has Hughes and Jim?" He grins and resumes adding snow magically to his mega-snowball.

"I'm going to bury them."

"He's a god, yeah, but he's just a kid." It makes sense to her. Mostly because she knows things she's not telling.

"...just make sure we can dig them out after, okay?" It's not like Jim is going to hold back much when he realizes Naugus is on the other team.

Sorry for the delay; work, holidays, fatigue.

"I have got to figure out how to do that," Loki murmurs, watching Ixis conjure the giant snowball (when he isn't packing his own).

To Verity he adds, "this is gonna get crazy, isn't it?" He probably shouldn't grin so much when he asks questions like that.
westfallcorndog: (Winter Worgen)

Sorry for MY delay too! Only excuse is my dumbness

Harrow pops his head up from the trench he's managed to dig in quick time. It's pretty deep, but not too wide. A good leap might get a person across, so to be on the safe (read: dangerous) side he whips up a little ice magic to harden the snow and make it risky to take a running leap. The baddies are going to have to get creative if they want to storm this fort.

"Yeah, Verity, how crazy are we gettin'? You want me to try an' dig us a tunnel into their place?"
