Keeping Traditions
There were traditions around the holidays and then there were traditions. One such tradition on New Year's Day was a snowball fight at Xavier's Institute For Higher Learning. Each New Year's Day the students and faculty gathered on the front lawn and participated in a snowball fight. Snow was never a problem with the resident weather goddess and in later years hydrokinetics.

A fresh blanket of snow covered the ground thanks to Mother Nature.

High noon struck and the snowball fight was officially under way.

	Lyta smirked, holding a snowball in her hand. "So, we doing this the old-fashioned way? Boy versus girls, powers are a go, first team hold up the white flag loses, giving the other team bragging rights for one full year?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Gabriel touched down nearby Lyta with a bag of mystery. He had finally returned from Scotland, and it seemed he was just in time for some kind of event. "What are the laddies and lassies up to now?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lucas has settled a bit off the field of battle to watch, playing referee, mostly for the benefit of the younger kids and in case someone gets hurt. "The yearly snowball fight. Apparently its a regular tradition." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's an honored and cherished tradition," she said to her half-brother, her smirk widening. "Want in? The guys wouldn't mind having a flier of their own, I bet." Now was the time for having fun with friends. Other...stuff could be discussed later. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure, I'll join in." He looked around and placed his bag down somewhere safe before coming back for the festive fight. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm fine with standard rules." Corey said, digging his feet a bit into the ground -- and not wearingly nearly thick enough shoes for the snow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Works for me," Molly said, smiling. She was bundled up, shivering just a little. It was cold. That, and she was still growing accustomed to the weather. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"C'mon, there's too much talking and not enough defeating going on!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2009-12-30 06:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Anxious for me to defeat you, your Highness?" She grinned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait stood there all zen like while dozens of snowballs orbited her. Out of all of the days of the year, this is the one she looked forward to the most. All of the practicing she did during the year was in an effort to improve her skills for the big snowball fight (and to beat up the bad guys but the snowball fight was more fun). "You guys that anxious to lose?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They like getting their asses beat by hot girls," Ltya said with another smirk, "Can't say I blame them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2009-12-30 07:11 pm UTC (link)
	Like Cait, Rachel had a number of snowballs orbiting her as well, a faint crackle of mental energy showing every now and then. "Have they ever actually won?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2009-12-30 07:11 pm UTC (link)
	"Not in the past four years at least," Cait smirked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-30 07:19 pm UTC (link)
	"What does that matter?" Misha asked as he tossed a snowball from one hand to the other. "You'll still have to work for it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2009-12-30 07:21 pm UTC (link)
	Lucas nods to Leech. "Sitting this one out too? I talked to some of the winter spirits before the match. We're not perfectly safe here, but unless someone specifically targets us, we're unlikely to draw any fire. So if we do get hit, you know someone has it out for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mmmhmmm" Corey says as he eyes where everyone's standing. Everyone on his own side, anyway. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	icallnopowers 2009-12-30 07:26 pm UTC (link)
	Leech nods. "I tend to go for the emergency standby." Then smiles a little. "Good to know, thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Misha's snowball made contact with Lyta's stomach. "oof!" Then Gsbriel's made solid contact with her shoulder blade. "Oh it is on," she said, swooping down to gather more snowballs, before flying back up in the air, pelting two at Gabriel and then sending another two aimed at Misha and Corey.

	princessbruiser 2010-01-01 02:23 am UTC (link)
	"Heeey!" Molly's hit squarely in the face with a snowball. She went back to making snowballs....rolling them to be bigger...more powerful... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2010-01-02 06:24 am UTC (link)
	Cait moved a massive amount of snow and formed it into one giant hand. It went right toward Corey. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-01-03 06:37 am UTC (link)
	"Tonight we dine at Harry's!" Misha yelled as more snowballs went flying. He was hit with as many as he threw, focusing on the the sneak attackers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2010-01-04 04:53 am UTC (link)
	Focusing on the Twerp, Cait didn't see Misha's snowballs. One hit her square in the face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2010-01-04 10:21 pm UTC (link)
	"Watch the wings!" Lyta said as one of Misha's snowball made contact with her left wing. She then countered back with a couple of snowballs of her own. (Reply to this)(Parent)
