The Snowball King of South Dakota.

[call_me_snake]

Snake had been on the sly for this and stashed stacks of pre-made snowballs around the yard long before anyone else in the house was awake. Sure others could find them and that only made it all the more fun. Snake came back inside and got a drink while he waited for the rest of his family and any visitors that may have accepted his invitation.

He hadn’t been in a snowball fight since the first morning his squadron spent at the Helsinki base. That was almost twelve years and it seemed like even longer to Plissken. This one was much the same. It started with a challenge of his claims of Snowball King. Snake frowned at the drink. He hadn’t even thrown a snowball since he lost his eye.

Pushing the thoughts away he set the things for cocoa, tea and coffee out on the dining room table. He wasn’t sure how many people would come. It might just be him, his family and the nameless challenger he planned on blasting as soon as she set foot on the property. It didn’t matter to Snake. He was out to have fun with the kids, especially his little girl.

Finishing up in the kitchen he went to the living room to start the fire. The huge living room fireplace was one of the things that made him fall in love with this house. Once it was going he sat back on the couch waiting for his family to come down. He could hear all the feet upstairs and giggles. It was a sound that relaxed his usual tensed demeanor. He glanced out toward the drive. No cars yet. Content, Snake laid back on the couch to soak up the warmth from the fire and the alcohol.


OOC: This can be meta, bendy time or any other form of time frame. If it is taking place before or after something your muse and Snake is/will be involved in please make me aware so the muse reacts accordingly. Have fun! I promise Snake will not start shooting so go get him, now’s your chance. For Snake this is taking place just after the New Year so it is a bit back dated. You can assume all conversations that have been started took place before this event just to make it easier. Oh and despite the title this is taking place at Snake's ranch house outside of New York City.

A snowball came over the porch barely making it past the bushes surrounding it. It was followed by pattering on the porch stairs before the little girl appeared running straight for Chase. She fell in the snow and giggled as she got back up. She was small, only three years old with blondish curls sticking out from under her stocking cap. She stopped a good distance from him, picked up a handful of unpacked snow and threw it.

Gots yous!

*he turned then getting hit with the snow smiling when he saw the little girl he laughed softly and gently lobbed the snowball he had at her winking then picking up more snow* and I got you back!


*soon after another smaller snowball hit her from another direction followed by a giggle as a young brown haired 6 year old boy ran off to go search for a target and try to avoid getting rehit*

Cellena giggled and ran off after the little boy with a mitten full of snow.

*Chase laughed softly as Jacob squealed and ran off gathering more snow then looked around quietly*


*Jacob ran and tried to hide behind some bushes to wait getting his snaowball ready*

[kailin-tyree.livejournal.com]

Cellena ran right at the bush and crawled under it throwing snow at Jacob's feet and legs.

[wickedsinz.livejournal.com]

*he jumped and giggled dumping snow on her head and jumped out running and giggling happily*

[kailin-tyree.livejournal.com]

Cellena squealed as the cold snow hit her but started running after him as fast as her little legs could carry her in the deep snow.

[wickedsinz.livejournal.com]

*he ran until he tripped and fell on a hidden rock under the snow he looked around as he sat surrounded in white and looked to see the little girl* Hi!

[kailin-tyree.livejournal.com]

Cellena ran and pounced on him though it was more of falling into his lap. She giggled laying in the snow.

'Llo. She waved at him. Who are yous? I'm Cellena. I stays with Papa Nake.

[wickedsinz.livejournal.com]

Having warmed up a bit with some cocoa, Sage snuck out the back door, hoping to catch Snake unaware, but spying Chase she couldn't resist. She packed a snowball and threw, aiming for the man's exposed back.

[wickedsinz.livejournal.com]

*he perked a brow suddenly as he felt the impact of a snowball in the center of his back and turned his head his brow perking more with a smirk* Sage, you know that was not nice. Hitting a man in the back. *he turned to face her fully grinning tossing the snowball in his hand up and down then tossed it at her*

[touchme-not.livejournal.com]

Sage ducked, but not fast enough as the snowball exploded on her forehead. She came up giggling. "You know the rules, Chase, anyone outside is fair game." She bounded over to the skinny man and hugged him fiercely. "Is Jacob here too?"

[wickedsinz.livejournal.com]

*he laughed and gave Sage a gentle hug smiling* he went off running playing with some little girl, and how the hell have you been? *he smiled and kissed her cheek*

[touchme-not.livejournal.com]

Sage grinned at the kiss, Chase was another of the men she felt safe getting close enough to touch. "I've been good. Your friend Xander's sister, Izzy is letting me stay at her loft and I passed the tenth grade exit exam. When I get back to New York, I'll be starting college prep and I have a therapist now."

[wickedsinz.livejournal.com]

Ah so you don't need your room at the center anymore? *he smiled softly* I have yet to actually meet her was supposed to when Sam was there. Now he doesn't live there so really don't know about going over there to meet her *chuckles*

[touchme-not.livejournal.com]

"That's okay, she isn't there most of the time either. She stays there when her fiance is out of town." She bit her lip. "I can still come by and help out, can't I?"

[wickedsinz.livejournal.com]

Sure thing Sage you are welcome there whenever you want *smiles* besides others helping out means my family won't freak if I'm over working myself and getting sick *chuckles*
