> Nepeta: Host Midsw33p's Vigil.

[nepetaleijon]

The path up to Nepeta's cave has been carefully shoveled free of snow.

(Okay, not so much "carefully shoveled" as "joyfully blasted". If there's one thing laser claws are good for that isn't fighting, it's carving through annoying stuff that's in your way. There are a few vitrified and/or half-melted fragments of rock lining the path. Don't worry; none of them are still steaming.)

Up close to the cave mouth, two huge cats have been sculpted out of snow in guarding positions, one on either side of the path such that any visitors will have to pass between them. They look incredibly adorable menacing.

Invited guests are welcome! Uninvited guests will probably be warned off before the cave's automatic defense systems kick in.

Probably.

Well, you know. Shephard wouldn't be much of a hunter if he didn't take advantage of opportunities that arose.

Incoming snowball, y'all. Maybe two, if he can manage it.

Re: [S] STRIFE!!!

DOOF.

The first snowball takes Nepeta in the side of the head mid-pounce, and she lands in another heap of snow with a squawk.

The second just barely grazes Kanaya, but she brushes it off, dancing around to Shephard's rear-quarters and scooping up an armload of snow before springing up and aiming for his back.

Aradia joins the fray with two snowballs flung at Kanaya!

Well, Shephard's gonna dive and roll and totally get hit by the snow, of course, but that's okay because he's got plenty of opportunity to grab more and start flinging it at faces. All he has to do is get 'em distracted enough for him to get up again, right?

A new opponent!

Nepeta rolls onto her back and starts rapid-firing snowballs at Aradia.

Re: [S] STRIFE!!!

[death_fangirl]

Aradia dodges four snowballs and makes a fifth one reverse course and fling itself back at Nepeta, then gets hit in the face by Shephard's snow.

One of the shots dodged by the Maid of Time manages to drop into a dug-in snow bunker and, by an astonishing coincidence, hit a certain giant robot square in the eye.

BWRRRRRRRRRP!

D0G shakes his head to dislodge the projectile, grabs an eighteen-inch-diameter handful of snow from the ground, and lobs it at the crowd of combatants.

Re: [S] STRIFE!!!

[bloodyvirgo]

From her precarious perch on Shephard's shoulders, Kanaya manages to see the incoming projectile and launches off of the man, wide-eyed.

"Incoming!

Scatter!

"

Re: [S] STRIFE!!!

[death_fangirl]

Aradia wipes the snow off her face just in time to see it herself, and immediately absconds the hell out of the way.

Re: [S] STRIFE!!!

[nepetaleijon]

Nepeta scrambles in the other direction, and vanishes.

Wait, no: she's just taken cover in a very cleverly concealed snow bunker. As evidenced by the barrage of snowballs that starts coming out of it.

Re: [S] STRIFE!!!

[hecu_marine]

And there goes Shephard, ass over teakettle in the snow.

He's cackling. Are you surprised?

Re: [S] STRIFE!!!

D0G BWAAAAAAPs and starts gathering snow for another shot. Meanwhile, Alyx is firing her own volleys from the safety of her own bunker.
