Bonfire and Snowball Fight, Saturday Afternoon/Evening

[bigdamnprincipal]

In the late part of the afternoon, the finishing touches were put on the setup on the front lawn of the school, and the bonfire was lit. There were tables of warm food and drinks, as well as the ingredients for s'mores because it was a fire and traditions were important.

There was also, thanks to nature and the cold weather, a nice blanket of snow on the ground. There were some chairs and benches for people who just wanted to sit, eat, and watch, but anyone who wanted to get in on the snowball fight had plenty of space and ammunition waiting to be made. Zoe had found a chair for herself a safe distance from where any snowballs might be flying - unless things got a little crazy, which wouldn't surprise her in the slightest.

Mara wriggled out of the way, then shoved a whole pile of snow down off of the roof.

"Not as much!" she insisted, giggling.

Travis yelped when the snow went slithering down his jacket and tried to dance out of the way.

"You're gonna give me hypothermia," he told her, taking off the hoodie he had underneath his jacket and packing it with snow. Then he zipped it up, tied the arms together and tied the hood to the bottom and tossed it up at her.

There was a lot of snow about to come out of his shoddily buttoned up hoodie.

There was scrambling, a muffled "eeek" and then a whole lot of cursing.

"Fiiine, you got me, Travis. Happy now?"

"Yep!" He was cold too but he was happy. "Shouldn't underestimate me and your skills. I'm pretty good too."

"Oh, I don't have any skills," Mara laughed. "Um, obviously."

Liar.

"Yeah, pretty sure you're a liar but you can keep your delusions," Travis told her, shaking his head. "It's okay to have skills."

"Vast, snowball fighting skills," Mara said, dropping Travis' hoodie back off of the roof.

Filled with snow. She was a giver that way.

Luckily, Travis managed to dodge the hoodie enough to only get a glancing blow but it was still cold.

"Thank you!" he called up to her. "You're so kind. Here I thought you'd keep the hoodie to pay me back."

"What would I do with a sopping wet hoodie?" Mara asked, laughing.

"Hold it hostage and try to get something from me," he told her, tossing it over his shoulder. "It's one of my favorites!"

"Then why did you throw it to start with?" Mara wondered.

"Because I needed to get a lot of snow up there and I'm an idiot sometimes," Travis told her. "Simple really."

Re: Fight (with snow)!

[giveherahand]

"You're not an idiot," Mara said. "I've met politicians. I know idiots."

"Then, maybe I'm the smartest man in the world," he joked. "Intelligence abounds!"

Mara dropped more snow on him. "I didn't go that far."
