Snowstorms and matchmaking: An early Valentine's post

Winter in the Nexus has been especially present this year. The weather has presented plenty of hardships for the past few months, something which numerous people have bemoaned. It doesn't look set to change, either. If anything, Winter seems to be going stronger than ever. There are no signs of it winding down at all.

Everything seems normal at first, the usual hustle and bustle has the Nexus thrumming now that people have adapted to the cold conditions. Then, rather suddenly, everything kicks into gear. The wind starts to howl, battering people to and fro. Not long after that, the sky becomes thick with snow, making it nearly impossible to see, the biting cold driving people back inside. It soon becomes completely inhospitable to all wandering around outside.

In the hurry to get out of the storm, people end up scurrying to the nearest available shelter. Apartment lobbies, houses, cafés, shops, restaurants, the library... Anywhere and everywhere that offers some shelter. Peculiarly, people seem to end up in pairs as they hide away from the cold. Looks like everyone is going to have to huddle close together. For... warmth... We'll say it's for warmth.

(Being a Cartoon, Bugs isn't bothered by the cold unless it's funny, and with everyone else being a shivering mess he finds it more humorous to engage in a one-man snowball war. And so Square Fort Bugs is facing off against Round Fort Bugs on opposite sides of the street.)

(Square Fort Bugs:) Fire da cannons! I wanna see our flag planted in dat fort by sundown!

(Round Fort Bugs:) Hold da line, boys! Don't give an inch!

((OOC: Snowballs will fly harmlessly above your head unless you specifically want to get pelted, in which case, have that happen in the reply thread and Bugs will apologize. Alternatively, join a side!))
