Festival of Ice and Fire Event: [Snow Ball Fights/Free RP]

[Leaf Sage]

Children smirk as an area of the proving grounds is covered in a thick blanket of snow and several workers cast creation techniques that busy themselves with making piles of snowballs, packing up walls, digging trenches and other various obstacles. Normally they would usher people away while they worked but seeing children sliding across the snowy field or building snow ninjas at the outskirts of the area puts the rare seen smile on the face of several usually serious and stern looking ninjas.

Several people from children to adults seem to be arguing over the ‘official rules’ for a snow ball fight. Eventually the official rules are posted.

Under no circumstances should force to injure or lethal levels of force be used during the fight (Shinobi this means you )

Although the area is big enough for a large game of 15 vs 15 people could happen the area will be broken down into smaller area for anything from snowball fighting duels to 4 vs 4 matches (if a shinobi would like to fight a few lower level people instead this will be allowed, and if the shinobi loses they are required to buy the winner hot cocoa)

If there is enough interest a game of Capture the flag will be held later on. (Moderated by council)

All snow destroyed by shinobi will need to be replaced (see large block of ice and talisman set on proving grounds)

No yellow snowballs.

[Area is free to RP in with multiple people having seperate conservations, a possible Capture the flag session will be modded by Stone Council if there is enough interest]

The cold and snow were nothing new for anyone who was born and raised within the village however for Oyochi this was his first time experiencing the festivities that came with it on the academy grounds. While usually he could be found sitting alone somewhere on the grounds, given his nature and with so many people running around he had relocated himself to sitting on the top of a tree branch. How he had managed to get up above the ground in his physical state was actually embarrassing as he had to ask for one of the instructors to help him up there. While Oyochi usually sported a kimino as his style of dress given the weather he had extra clothing beneath hus usual attire including baggy styled pants. What was new was the fact that he had a belt pouch attached to his waistline along the backside, a gift from his parents that also included within were various pills to stablilize his stamina and chakra as well as two new books.

Looking up from his reading the boy would become almost envy'd at the amount of fun being had but he understood his condition enough to supercede those feelings. While his eyes said one thing his body told him another and that was what he listened to. It was a learned behavior and one he chose not to ignore as his basic instincts. He did however momentarily close his book and place it within the belt pouch. With his body leaned forwards abit and his arms in his lap the boy simply watched and observed with observant eyes.

Oyochi would see several children running around playing for the most part versus getting into a snowball fight.

Below him the conversation would come somewhat more clearly than those on the wind.

”This weapon is odd Miss Mio. It is crumbly and will not work if thrown too hard turning to a mist. Although it is very cold and numb to the touch, is that the purpose of this weapon? To numb one’s opponent before making them submit?” a boy would ask the girl next to him.

”Take, I told you to wear the gloves! Look at your hands your fingers are read already! It’s not a weapon either it’s for fun.” Mio grumbled at the boy looking around and not finding him.

In the tree close to Oyochi the boy stared at him.

”Huh, so you are allowed to scout out your enemy from higher ground and use this intel to mount an offensive, though this weapon called ‘snowball’ is inferior it seems the strategy and tactics are still sound. I like your way of thinking… tell me what are these ‘Yellow snowballs’ that are forbidden from use? Are they dangerous? Do they hurt more than normal snowballs?” Take would ask Oyochi thinking him a possible forward scout in a game or a field general.

”TAKE!” Mio would scream from underneath hearing the conversation turning red and looking from Take to Oyochi wondering if the secret would be revealed.

(OoC: Take is a name aka (Ta-kay), since no one’s posted in a few days, Eeeeencounter!)

Kyo buried his hands in the pockets of his jacket, shivering from the cold. A snow ball fight...the boy didn't understand why that was such a big deal. Still he came, partly because he was curious about it, but mostly because his mother had made him. Looking over the field he saw a lot of faces he didn't recognize, wondering if Shujinko would eventually show up. Off to the side he was hear a couple of kids talking, his gaze turning as he heard someone scream. "Is, uh, everything alright here?" He would ask as he moved over to where Mio was, following her line of sight and looking upwards. He smirked as he first spotted Take and then Oyochi, cocking his head to the side. "Oyochi? I never took you for the kind to play in the snow. You sure you're not gonna get pneumonia out here?" He would tease him as he leaned down and took two handfuls of snow, molding them into a snow ball.

Mio realizing she would have to explain why she had screamed turned bright red and then purple and looked slightly ill out of embarrassment.

Take… Baka!!! she thought to herself closing her eyes hoping when she opened them the last few minutes would have been a dream. Opening her eyes a crack she realized she didn’t have the power to turn back time.

”Oh we were just playing around… everything is fine.” she with say her voice wavering in nervousness.

Meanwhile Take would look from the new boy to Oyoshi and back after the exchange.

Scatching his nose with his hand over his mouth he would speak to Oyoshi.

”Field General Oyoshi is this one of your minions for the snowball fight? I will investigate him to see if he’s a spy for the other side… If acceptable I would prefer to test his prowess versus my own for the position of your highest underling.” he would comment.

Take would notice the look of daggers from Mio as she suddenly pointed at him and the ground before Take found himself jumping down out of the tree and over to the new boy.

”I am known as Take, this is Mio please to meet you.” Take stated mimicking Kyo’s movements to make a snowball.
