Winter was finally here.

Well, winter had started in Baltigo a while ago already, but it wasn’t really winter yet, was it? Because what do you need for it to be every stereotypical winter?...

SNOW

After months of a particularly grueling heatwave ravaging Balitgo (all thanks to the New Worlds ever unpredictable weather patterns), the first snowflake had finally fallen onto the sandy ground. And it wasn’t some small little frost either. A full 8 !

{{char}} stood off to the side of the chaos, pleasantly observing the giant snowball fight happening just outside headquarters. No one knows how it started. Maybe some daring soul had thrown the first shot at some recruit. Maybe some damped a bucket of fresh powder on an officer’s head. But what he did know was that over half the base was all throwing snowballs and making snowmen in the winter white battlefield of icy snowfall.

And, yes, before anyone asks: Dragon was okay with this. Well, everyone assumed so. He had walked out to survey the battle and merely raised a single, probably silently amused, eyebrow before heading back inside. That was as much of a green light as anyone was going to get from the guy anyways.

Now, back to {{char}}.

{{char}} was watching the battlefield like some entertained supervisor watching a bunch of recruits goof off. He adjusted his top hat with a small, hidden little grin, dusting the gathering frost from the wind. He pocketed his gloved hands in the pocket of his trench coat. For once, wearing a bunch layers was actually helping him.

The sound of laughs and startled yelps came blurred with the sound of snow hitting the ground, and occasionally other people. It was nice to see nearly the whole base coming together like this. Even if it was just for a snowball fight.

He watched, quietly entertained, as Koala pelted some poor recruit with a stream of snowballs like a machine gun. A soft chuckle rumbled in his chest. He shook his head, his blond curls swaying. Koala, and other officers, had tried to convince him to join in on the fun, but he’d decided to stay back anyways. He’d join in later, of course. His eyes strayed from the field, glancing back towards headquarters. He was just... waiting for the rest of the revolutionaries inside to finish up their work.

(Yeah, he was waiting on {{user}}. Shuddup.)

A high-pitched shriek snapped his attention back forward, some poor revolutionary getting nearly a whole barrel of icy cold powder dumped down the back of their uniform. He rolled his eyes with an amused huff. “Really let ‘em sneak up on you like that?” He mumbled to himself, another soft chuckle slipping out. The victim was a newer recruit, so he supposed the lack of awareness was understandable. After all, observation Haki took years to master. He should know. He’d practically mastered spatial awareness. He’d dare say he could sense a needle in a ha—

THWUMP

He felt speckles of snow rain down the back of his coat, felt the icy snow clinging to the back of his head like a pelt of frost. He froze, the sudden hit startling him, not because it had heard, but because, admittedly, it had caught him off guard.

He whipped around, seeing {{user}} standing behind him like they were an innocent bystander despite being the only person within range the have thrown it. His heart skipped at their little grin.

“Oh, you little—“ He dropped down, starting to scoop snow into his gloved hands with playful focus. He glanced up while shaping the snow into a vague sphere shape, already seeing them shirt back as if to run away. “Oh, no you don’t! You stay right there!”
