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.

The snowball landed smashed into her face she brushed it off. Ahh, so he's going to play like that? She snuck up slowly towards his hiding spot then flipped into the hair and shot two snowballs straight at his head.

THe first one hit Snake square in the face but he managed to partially block the second one. You Bitch!

Snake was heading right for where she was going to land at a full run. She needed to be dumped on her ass in the snow for that.

Lara landed with a laugh, but was silence when Snake ran into her pushing her back on her ass. "Bloody hell" She called out with a laugh, "Now who' s playing fair?" She pushed him back into the snow.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Snake pulled her back into the snow throwing handfuls at her with his free hand. All's fair in love and war sweetheart!

[sexylaracroft.livejournal.com]

Lara spit out the snow being tossed at her laughing the whole time. As she scooped up snow tossing it back at him. "True" She laughed.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Then stop your complaining. Snake got snow in the face, his hair, down his coat and just kept laughing and throwing snow at her.

[sexylaracroft.livejournal.com]

Lara threw snow back in his face. She was just as snow covered. They had said to hell with the actual snow balls and were now just nailing each other with snow. "Im not complaining" She laughed collapsing back into the snow.

"This is going to seem bloody stupid, but how did you know you were in love with Xena?" She felt stupid asking it. But she had this nagging feeling everytime she thought of Luis and she was going crazy.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Snake was laughing but at the question he stopped throwing snow at her and got a very thoughtful look.

You know, the time I took her to dinner. I got all nervous and antsy. THe thing really shocked the shit out of me was wining and dining her all night and then just taking her home. No kiss, no nothing. It was like some fucking alien was there instead of me.

[sexylaracroft.livejournal.com]

"Well, I don't think I've ever went to dinner with him." She frowned looking away. "It's just this feeling i get when i'm around him. God he's so bloody aggervating! But there's this other side of me..I've never felt like this not even with Terry"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Snake laughed. There were times when I first met Xena and even now she makes me so frustrated I'd like to crack her upside the head. then I look at ehr and all that frustration turns to a feeling I don't even got the words to tell you about.

[sexylaracroft.livejournal.com]

"I'm always kicking Luis ass, he bloody pisses me off all the time. Then the other day he said something and I was lost. Of course I told him to fuck off" She looked at Snake, "I can't believe I'm even telling you this" She never shared her feelings with anyone ever.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Snake shrugged. I got that effect on people so I'm told.

[sexylaracroft.livejournal.com]

"You make people feel like they can trust you" She smirked tossing a snowball at him

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Snake threw one back at her and chuckled. Here I thought it was because I reminded too many people of their dad.

[sexylaracroft.livejournal.com]

"Your way to young to remind me of my dad" She laughed wiping the snow from her face

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Snake laughed. I'm probably a lot older then you think.

[sexylaracroft.livejournal.com]

"Probably, I have been wrong before" She shrugged with a smile.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Smiles. How old you think I am? Just curious.

[sexylaracroft.livejournal.com]

"Well you look about forty, but haven't you been around forever?" She replied with a smirk.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Depends on how you look at it. Things are a bit fucked with my age. Though if you do it literally. Snake hits her with another snowball. That's for the extra year.

[sexylaracroft.livejournal.com]

She chuckled, "Well it's not my bloody fault you look that damn old. Now me? I look way younger than you"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

You! Snake grabbed her and dumped her face first into the snow. You're probably little over half my age too honey.

[sexylaracroft.livejournal.com]

She came up spitting snow from her mouth, "hey I'm only 30!" She said with a smile. "It's not very nice to push someone in the snow."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

then you should be flattered I think you're younger. Snake laughed at all the snow in her hair and stuck to her face.

I don't know it looks kinda nice from here.

[sexylaracroft.livejournal.com]

"I think I am" She replied with a smirk, "of course it would, now i'm going to need a good shot of whiskey to warm up" She replied with a smirk.
