sun dec 3, 2023 | 221 words | completely open! | random thread for some snow fun with whoever wants to join in! This was Bobby's element. Figuratively and literally.
With the winter months came a healthy dose of snow and ice, and that was where Bobby found himself now. He was "iced up," his entire body a sheen of ice to better allow himself to enjoy the mounds of snow that decorated the mansion's grounds. He was having a blast playing around with his powers, using the cold that was already in the air to easily create snow forts and snowmen (some that may or may not have looked like the other members of the institute). An ice slide was constructed over one such fort, a spiraling tunnel that landed in a fluffy pile of soft snow. Bobby dove through it, delighted as he landed in the snow before popping back up to the surface.
He probably should be using his powers to help clear off the driveway and paths, but he was having a little too much fun slacking off at the moment.
Bobby's gaze caught sight of someone else outside in the yard. Whether the other person was just coming out to check on something quickly or was trying to enjoy the snow as much as he was, Bobby wasn't sure. It didn't matter. No matter who it was, being outside gave Bobby the right to hurl a perfectly-formed snowball their way...

(Words: 223 Tags: Iceman, open to everyone who wants a snowball fight!)If Kitty were still here, Kurt would have teleported a batch of snow right into her room. She'd be so mad, but she wouldn't be able to resist the urge to chase him outside and attempting to pelt him with snowballs. With one of them being able to teleport out of the way and the other allowing snowballs to phase right through her, they used to start epic snowball fights. And then Bobby showed up and, well... Having someone who could turn himself into ice definitely helped rope so many of the other students (and some teachers) into the snowball fight. Kurt was watching his breath cloud in the cool air, his tail languidly swishing back and forth behind him. His gloved hands were stuffed in his coat's pocket and he had a hat jammed on over his head. He was just enjoying the cool air when a snowball smacked him in the back of the head. "Ach! Who--?" Kurt whirled around, more confused than anything else really, until he spotted the giant constructed ice slide across the yard. With a fanged grin, Kurt scooped up an armful of snow and teleported over to the slide. "Heads up!" With quick movements, Kurt teleported over Bobby's head, dropped the armful of snow, and teleported behind one of the snow forts. The war was on.

Bobby had grinned to himself when his snowball hit true, and it barely faltered when he realized he had hit Kurt. His grin only briefly flickered out when Kurt teleported away and reappeared above Bobby to drop an armful of snow on him.
"Ack!" Bobby's hair was soaked with the snow, and he almost tripped as he tried to dive out of the way, but it was simple for him to retaliate when he caught sight of where Kurt had landed again. He had tossed a couple of more snowballs at Kurt, but it became apparent that he wasn't the only one.
Nevertheless, a delighted grin graced Bobby's features since someone was brave enough to continue staying out in the cold for a good, ol' fashioned snowball fight.
Well, as old fashioned as it could be with mutants.
"Alright!" Bobby darted towards a fort while simultaneously icing up another wall to make it bigger. "Literal Cool Kid versus Boring Headmaster! Kurt, you're not allowed to cross over to my fort because that is the rule I just totally made up. Hopefully someone else comes out to join your team, because mine is obviously the superior one...!"
His words ended as he dove behind the fort wall and sending another snowball at Kurt.

Tag: Nightcrawler Iceman open! Words: 190 Willow had laughed out loud upon seeing Bobby bean Kurt with a snowball only for the esteemed headmaster himself retaliate with an impressive use of his mutant abilities. Willow herself had been watching out her bedroom window at seeing Bobby make magnificent sculptures out of ice and the snow, and had been berating herself for taking so long on her homework. The sooner she finished her homework, the sooner she'd be able to go outside and play in the snow.
Seeing two of the so-called adults of the manor outside and playing, though, made Willow rethink that she had plenty of time to finish her homework for the night. That, and she could always touch it up in the morning during breakfast, right?
With that sound logic, Willow leaped out of her bedroom window and into a nearby tree, morphing into and scaling down the trunk as a monkey. With a gleeful cackle, Monkey-Willow ran as fast as she could over the powdered snow and dove into one of the forts near Kurt. Using her dexterity, Monkey-Willow hurled snowballs at Bobby, fully okay with being on the Boring Headmaster team.

Words: 157 Tags: Iceman @flashpoint Critter open!Kurt had laughed at Bobby's team names despite getting hit by other snowballs. "Very creative names, mein Freund," he teased, and teleported away in a puff of brimstone smoke before Bobby's next snowball could hit him.
He reappeared high above the fort, tossing more snow down at Bobby before teleporting away to the other side of designated battlefield, finding another half-created fort to duck down behind. It wasn't too long before he heard the chatter of a monkey and Kurt presumed it was Willow. He highly doubted a monkey escaped from the zoo and was intelligent enough to pick the correct team for a snowball fight.
"Excellent, Willow!" Kurt said. "If you feel so inclined, I wouldn't mind if you decided to transform into a larger animal to destroy his fort. Make him fight out in the open instead of hiding like a coward!"
His own snowballs joined Willow's as they soared through the air towards Bobby.

"Cheater!" Bobby said as Kurt teleported above his fort to toss more snow down on him. Bobby blasted away most of the snow with his ice, and was then momentarily baffled at seeing a monkey appear and apparently choose Kurt's side in the snowball fight. Bobby figured out the monkey was Willow right before Kurt called her name, and Bobby grinned.
"Et tu, Willow?" Bobby said. "C'mon, I'm your mentor! How dare you not choose my side?
"You know what, actually, that's okay," he added. "Kurt definitely needs the help more than I do...!"
With that said, Bobby bulked up his iced form, creating icicle spikes on his shoulders to help protect himself from any other airborne attacks. He also whipped up a couple of snowmen around his fort, guards to help slow down Kurt and Willow when it came to their little war. The guards wouldn't really move, of course, but Bobby was guessing that one day he'd be able to animate them if he practiced enough.
For now, though, he just created them to be more obstacles in Kurt and Willow's path as Bobby himself sent more snow flying in their direction.
