Festivus in July, Fandom High front lawn, Friday afternoon

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Sometime during morning workshops, when no one was paying nearly enough attention except those concerned, the Fandom High schoolgrounds had filled with snow.

For the record, "those concerned" meant Rory Gilmore and several dozen snow cone distributors from the mainland. But who wants to ruin the illusion? Students who were curious might assume that it was simply a Festivus in July miracle, or some such.

In the middle of the lawn stood a bare, aluminum pole. Festivus tradition, you know.

[Yes, the schoolgrounds have snow. I'm weathermodding and saying it's cool enough today through this evening for it to stick, and it'll melt overnight. And yes, we're having Festivus in July. For those not in the know, here is a handy Wiki link! Please wait for OCD. Up, yay!]

Make snow angels, build a fort not in the library kthnx, have a snowball fight...etc.

River lay down on her back and waved her arms and legs to make a snow angel. Some traditions had survived to the future, even moving to another solar system.

It was a bit chilly without the winter clothes however.

She wondered if Berthold liked snow. It did resemble ice cream a little, only without the cream.

Parker's giggling. Only a little, but still.

"Aren't you cold?" She waved to River, and put her hands on her hips. "And wet?"

Tyler made a snowball and tossed it form hand to hand. "Hi."

Snow? Jude was soooo there.

At the moment he had a cardboard box and enough of a slope to go absolutely nowhere. But have great fun doing it.

Meanwhile, Sakurazaki (totally wearing her hat) had found a rather good place to hide behind, the type of thing where no one looking for you would notice but, the moment they did, your game was up. She narrowed her eyes slightly as she considered distance, projectile, air-speed velocity, and the density of her chosen missle. After all, long-distance weapons were not her specialty. Finally, she launches the snowball lightly at Jude's shoulder, watching only to make sure that it hit, then, stiffling a giggle, stiffens and tries to use her hiding spot as best she can.

Snow. Dean shook his head. This place just never stopped being weird. But least this was a non-lethal weird.

Bending down, he casually scooped up some snow and just as casually began packing it into a ball.

One of John Winchester's first lessons -- never travel unarmed.

Sam was pretty sure that hangovers didn't involve much hallucinating, but snow in July was just weird enough to make him wonder if he'd had a bad batch of beer at Caritas.

He was occupied enough with trying to think that he wouldn't have noticed if anyone nearby was arming themselves.

Parker grinned, seeing Dean, and decided that apologies should start with ice-breakers.

Or, you know. Snowballs.

*whooooosh!*

Peter was more than a bit uncomfortable about the snow in July situation. It was Fandom, true, but winter outside of winter was never a good situation.

Willow came over as soon as she spotted Peter. "You okay?" she asked, quietly.

John's expanding. Hut of Platonic Love for Ten complete with columns of snow, cereal boxes, a few of Aeryn's boots (don't tell her), a fluffy blanket for the roof, and books...not from the library.

"You're weird," Rory told him, watching. "What is that, a polygamy commune?"

Molly wandered over to check out John's construction. "Nice fort," she said with a grin. "You came prepared."

Re: Non-Festivus things

Sam brushes some of the snow out of his hair and takes a deep breath as he spots John. Surely he can talk to him without embarrassing himself. Maybe. "You look like you've made something like this before," he says, smiling.

"Every time I think you've broken the weird-meter, you re-set it." Parker is shaking her head in amusement.

"Interesting iglo," Cameron remarked, studying the structure.

Angela blinked. A lot. "Do I even want to know what this is?"

"My hut was better," Anakin commented as he walked up. "But yours has food. I think we could call it even."

"Can I live in this one, too?" asked Greg.

The California of the future has many things. Snow? Is not one of them. So Bridge is planning to make the most of this opportunity while it lasts.

Re: Non-Festivus things

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

Greg's from California.

He's barely ever been in snow.

Which is why he's making snowball after snowball, and eyeing possible targets.

Z honestly didn't think she'd ever seen snow before. And, she figured this wasn't real snow, but that wasn't stopping her from enjoying it while it lasted.

Completely unaware of any trauma this might cause to people who'd been in Fandom longer than she had, she started attempting to build a snowman.

Peter made a snow spider. It lacked the class of an angel, but it worked with his theme.

Jaye actually doesn't hate this. Snow makes people goofy. That is why she has her camera.
