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.

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

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

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.

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

That sounds like a damned good idea. Snake smiled standing up and offering a hand to help her up. Whiskey it is.

[sexylaracroft.livejournal.com]

She extended her hand and let him help her up. She brushed off the snow that covered her face. To follow him in. "Your right snow ball fights are fun"

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

Snake chuckled walking with her to the house. They are. Especially when the kids all get to chasing you.

[sexylaracroft.livejournal.com]

Lara laughed, "That must be fun. " She smiled thinking of how he was with his daughter, "Your daughter must love playing in the snow"

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

Snake nodded. I haven't seen her out here yet. I got this feeling she's going to jump me when I least expect it.

[sexylaracroft.livejournal.com]

She smiled "I should tell her where you are"

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

Snake looked around smirking. Don't know about you but standing in the middle of the yard is for shit when it comes to hiding.

[sexylaracroft.livejournal.com]

Lara looked around, "Hey Hope???" She called out teasely, "Hmm don't see her, but I would probably see the snowball first"

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

With her definitely. Snake grinned. Picking on her dad it might be yours too.

[sexylaracroft.livejournal.com]

Lara laughed, "True. But I like a challenge. Maybe we could both gang up on you?"

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

Honey, they've been doing that all morning.
