RT, caught up in an alternate reality by the Simulpost’s Cat paradox, laughs his ass off at PaulYeah’s link, looks back at the thread, realizes that it was Shadowfox’ ‘double slingshot’ that nailed him to begin with. So he steps back into the thread, loads up a good, wet snowball, and pastes Shadowfox a good one! ---

Falcon EEPS, realizing she’s trapped in the snowbank…or IS she? Kicking her legs wildly, she manages to get out AND cover both RT and VB in snow in the process! And RT hon…I got you with a face full of snow too. Maybe I can recreate that at the DC Doper gathering? _Running away, laughing…next? And thanks for calling me a sassy bird, VB!_ ---

Not a chance, Falcon; I’m really a much better at a RL snowball fight than online…but you’re welcome to try! 😉 Run away, willya? I’ll just have to get my revenge over at Bucky’s! 😃 ---

_yelps, turning around glaring at VB…_ Yeah, but you got a nice backrub out of it! Fine, I see my charms are wasted on you…(wasn’t that way at Bucky’s! Hmpf!), so… _Falcon grabs another slush-ball, flinging it at VB’s face. Ooooo…direct hit._😛 ---

::Turns and takes the shot from Narile square on the shoulders.

\< Vestal jumps up and helps Falcon to her feet \> Damnit Tengu, quit horsing around! It’s time to capture the trebuchet and undertake to lay siege to Shadow Fox on top of her hill. She has a strategic advantage that makes our position rather untenable, and I for one refuse to just lay here while under fire! :mad: * * * VB Remember, you can tune a piano, but you can’t tuna fish! ---

## Shadowfox shakes off the snow that has plastered her entire face and hair and looks at RTFirefly rather evilly. “You’re dead meat buster!” she hollers and looks around frantically, trying to find the slushiest snowball around. As she is looking around, she notices Vestal Blue doing reconnaissance at the base of the hill. She picks up the snowball instead for RT and takes aim at Vestal… Shadowfox “Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.” - Procrastinator’s motto.

Vestal, glancing up sees Shadow drawing bead on his noggin, does a shoulder roll behind a hedge, and shadow loses sight of him; her bosoms heaving and heart pounding, she stares around wildly, wondering where he could have gone, forgetting RT… * * * VB Tempus is fugiting all over the place!

VB stands up behind the hedge and gives the thumbs up to Tengu! Way to go! a great one-two punch by Seale and Tengu! The hill is ours, and now all we have to do is capture Nariles’ Trebuchet! * * * VB Tempus is fugiting all over the place! Carpe that diem!
