He watches him quietly as he tries to roll the ball. Is that how you do it? He has no idea. He tried that earlier but maybe he just did it wrong. :P
β β β β " .. yeah. that's what i'm trying to do β i think . " he is now at least . gods γ a lump forms in their throat . they're definitely doing so many things wrong and this is so embarrassing β maybe they shouldn't have done this. hhhhhhhh.
He kinda just starts making a ball of snow. '' Dude I don't think this is working. Like I think we are gonna have to actually roll a ball this time. '' He genuinely has no idea how to though, because he tried earlier and it was a colossal failure.
β β β β yeah οΌ it's definitely not. good .. but οΌ hey οΌ since it's flat at the top οΌ maybe the second part of it will stay on οΌ they pack some snow together and place it on top of the base. they've no idea if they're doing this right οΌ but it's not like they're gonna be judged for it οΌ rightοΌ
He stares at the base for a bit. It is.... Round, I guess?? It seems stable but definitely not good. It's kind of weirdly flat at the top, looking like a weird fucked up oval. '' ... '' '' Suuuure ?? ? ''
β β β β " i told you .. " they look at the base for a few moments . . is it supposed to look like that οΌ oh well .. " i think the base is good .. οΌ "
It hits him in the nose. He sticks out his tongue at him playfully before started to roll up more snow into the base. '' Fiiiiiine, I guess that's fair. '' >:P
β β β β " .. i'm not evil οΌ i'm fair ... οΌ " they can't help but giggle a little themself οΌ rolling up more snow and adding it to the base . throwing another one at him would really make them equal ... so they ball a tiny amount of snow and toss it at him . " now we're equal. "
'' That is sooooo evil! Making the snowmall was a truce, S-M-H. '' He crosses his arms and looks away, though his general tone and stupid overexxagerated pose makes it very obvious he's just being silly. Also the barely-contained giggle after the fact probably helps.
β β β β pfff t β a. they stumble γ lose their footing and fall right on their bum . they give a more genuine smile towards him . " i was making us even . . οΌ "
He hums a bit as he very carefully builds up the base, then falls back in the snow as the snowball hits him oh god. ... He sorta lays there for a few seconds. Blinks a few times. All that. Before abruptly sitting up and throwing a handful of unshaped snow at him. '' Heeey!! ''
β β β β sounds easy enough .. they start taking up some snow to try and roll up β they notice him just . stuffing snow to make a base . they keep balling up the snow they have οΌ adding onto it as they go then putting it into the base . they make another ball and β they throw it at him οΌοΌ
He sits down. '' No clue. I think we need to build a really good base first. '' And so he starts grabbing handfuls of snow and slamming them into the base.
β β β β .. ooookay. walking over to the pile beside him. this feels weird. it probably is weird. " . . . so . . how do we start . . "
'' Cool! '' Annnnd he just starts walking back to the pile again. This guy has no real sense of manners I think.
β β β β " um . . . " don't forget . " . . . sure . i'll give it a try . . . " ... at least they both haven't done this before .
'' ... '' He briefly looks back to the ball of snow, then back at Mako. '' ... Dooooo you wanna try? It's okay, I am also pretty bad and new at it, lol. '' Don't say lol outloud.
β β β β what . what οΌ why would he invite them of all people to do that . what is he planning . what are his true intentions . don't forget what you've learned because of kindness . " . . . um . . i mean . . i've never done that before . . "
'' Aww, shucks. ... guess you don't wanna build that snowman with me? ''
β β β β . . why is he . so underdressed for this weather . they are bundled up so heavily οΌand that guy is just . not even gonna bother asking οΌ " well . . . i don't . . like snow . "
I am very much alive, and I intend to stay that way!
If you're counting the days until you- retire? DREAM BIGGER, YOU SAD SACK! THERE'S MORE TO LIFE THAN PENSION PLANS!
Then how pathetic are you if you canβt best me at my worst!
So God, take the steering wheel! Drive me to Fate and we'll finally sit down and have a chat.
i would like to think that even if i was sad and scared, if i was put in a position where everyone depended on me, i could put all those feelings aside and do whats right!
'' Where's the baby, huh? '' '' Right there infront of me! ''
Oh wow, hey, someone's still alive~!! Good for you! Fortunately, that is going to change soon.
LOVE IS LOVE. WHAT'S ABOVE CAN BLOODY SHOVE IT!
THIS ISN'T A DREAM AND I'M NOT WAKING UP!
THE MISFORTUNE OF OTHERS TASTE SWEET LIKE HONEY I AM SURELY GOING TO HELL FOR THAT.
'' That's nowhere near as fun. '' A careless shrug-- Upon closer inspection he is wearing a crop top and his jacket is, like, halfway down his arms. What the hell. '' Aw, what, it's just a bit of snow. '' Casually kicking some snow off to the side with a little hum. He is built too different.
β β β β " . . . i'm only out here because i want hot cocoa . "
'' You goin' soft on me, Blight? '' '' In your dreams. ''
'' I don't like telling people what to do. '' '' You should. It's amazing. ''
I argue that we choose to be good because of our bonds with other people and our innate desire to treat them with dignity. Simply put, we are not in this alone.
Iβll take a leap of faith because itβs okay.
'' To get your attention, silly! Why else? '' He got up and adjusted his scarf a bit before taking a few quick but ever so slightly clumsy steps towards him. The snow was a bit too deep for his liking. '' It's been a bit!!! How's it going? ''
β β β β that . is a guy . that's a really familiar guy . that's probably the pile he got the snowball from and β oh . that's maru . had it been anyone else γ they'd probably have summoned their gear . . . . but that's a little too far . " oh β hi β um β . . why did you throw that at me . "
There is a guy, crouched on the ground next to kind of a shitty looking pile of snow that MIGHT be an attempt at a snowman?? He gives him a big dumb wave. '' Hi!!! Long time no see! ''
β β β β yeah γ they should definitely go back ins β " β οΌοΌ " they don't move from any impact γbut they do look in the direction in which the snowball came at them from with wide eyes . what the HECK was that οΌοΌοΌ
TOO BAD ASH KETCHUM HIS NAME IS TOBIAS SHEDLETSKY AND HE'S HUNGRY FOR BATTLE-- Anyways jokes aside Mako gets a snowball thrown right at his head.
β β β β hands in their pockets . . this is the first they've been out in a while as the snow hasn't been doing them well this month . the snow has been keeping them from doing just about anything . maybe they should just go back inside β
