voidtreckerexpress | Winter Wonderland [Event]

”Good Morning passengers. Today is day Twenty Four of the month of Catfish. You may wish to look out of the window.”

As passengers wake in their beds they will indeed notice something different about the light. If they look out of the window, instead of the ever changing void they will see white slopes of mountains, flakes of snow alling down around them and frost covered trees zipping past the windows. If they glance at the ICP on the table they will see a message.

Investigating the dressing cart they will find the drawers and cupboards unlocked once again. However, instead of the fantasy-esque clothing of world #25768 they will find thick winter coats, hats, gloves and scarves. There are heavy fur lined boots and even some ice skates.

Entering the garden carriage they will see that the glass dome of the roof has opened, leaving the carriage exposed to a bright blue sky. Any nonsense of the past few weeks has vanished, leaving the carriage pristine. Not that that is easy to notice as it is covered in a thick layer of snow. The paths are clearer, a light dusting of snow but easy to talk through. Around the paths the drifts are high, perfect for snowman building or a snowball fight.

The streams and the pond in the centre are solid ice. Anyone brave enough to try to find the ice holds their weight for ice skating.

And the ICP message was correct. There is hot chocolate in the stores.

Peter looks that way too, just in case Mr Stark was trying to sneak in but the hallway is empty. Too bad.

"Yup." He says proudly. "I'm gonna throw a snow ball at him and if it hits I might even laugh about it." He voices his whole 'evil' plan. "You've been in a snowball fight before, haven't you, Mr Ignis? Snow's soft so it doesn't hurt if you throw it at someone and it's fun."

"You do realize he'll retaliate in kind." Ignis knew he was staying the obvious but Tony was competitive and it wouldn't go well. Still, he wished to witness this duel of sorts.

Peter then gets a somewhat inquisitive look. "No, Im afraid we don't have snow where I come from."

Besides, no one except Noctis and the other two would ask someone like him. This man was handled with kid gloves and given responsibility at six years old by a king. He wasn't allowed to play in the usual 'reindeer' socialization games of youth either after being put in a school for gifted children and serving as the future king's companion.

Peter nods because of course he knows Tony will retaliate, he's kind of counting on it. But it'd be satisfying, he thinks. As much as he loves Mr Stark, the man also drives him crazy with how controlling he can be.

"Man, that's tragic. I mean-Snow gets old real fast in New York 'cause it doesn't stay pretty and it's kinda gloss and slushy after a while but this." He gestures up at the falling snow. "This is like... movie snow."

He bends down to scoop up some snow into a ball and throws it, deliberately trying not to let it hit the hot chocolate so he aims more for Ignis' knee.

He'd really hoped the kid was distracted enough with Ignis he wouldn't see him creeping out of the hallway and into the garden room. It probably was a dumb idea given he was wearing bright red hoodie, but it was worth a shot.

Leaning down, he went to get a handful of snow but was distracted a bit at hearing Ignis didn't have snow back home. That was a pity. He'd have to introduce his boyfriend to the substance in the best way possible- as a snowball! (Right after he threw one at Peter, of course).

"We had snow in my world, but it was in another..place." Shiva's corpse was in Ghorovas Rift but that was in the Niflheim Empire, and that was another story altogether. One thing the boy said caught his attention, shaking him out of those thoughts.

"Movie snow?" And the next thing he knew, he saw Peter throw it at him. But before he could set his mug down, he saw movement in red. Peter then got hit with a snowball and so did he. Quickly he took a sip of his hot chocolate and set it down next to his top hat. Then \he gathered ammunition in the form of quickly formed snowballs.

"Wagh!" Peter lets out as he's beaned with the snowball. Not fair! Tony just used his momentary distraction against him and his stupid spidey-sense doesn't work on Tony. He dives down to get away from the incoming snow and scoops up some more before hurling it back at Tony and then jumping up to stick to the wall.

The cold. Cold wall.

This was mistake. Holy shit.

He lets go and lands in a heap on his snow fort.

Tony laughed victoriously when both of the young men had been hit. He tried to avoid getting hit by the ones coming from Peter, but one still got him solidly in the shoulder. He paused as Peter jump to the wall and then quickly off again.

"Too cold fo- ah!" Ignis got him with one right in the neck. "Dammit! That's cold!" He sputtered, quickly trying to get the snow out of his nice warm hoodie. Maybe he should've actually stopped and gotten a coat and gloves. Too late!

He scooped up some more and lobbed several Ignis' way. That top hat was silly, but it kind of worked with the other man's style. "Come on, Tiger! We're about to be sitting ducks with that fort of his." This was war!

The advisor had no idea what Peter was doing and he didn't really care. His target had been Tony who he managed to get. It was only a momentary satisfaction to hear the older man cry out about how cold the snow was because he was incredulous that he was being asked to team up against Peter.

No.

Casting a glance at the youth, Ignis shook his head as his decision was made. If anyone was going down it was Tony. Peter may have started it, but the older man had the nerve to throw snow at him and then expect him to overlook it.

Throwing snowballs back in retaliation was fine, but then once he got close enough, the advisor moved and attempted to get the other man into the snow.

Peter of course was free to take advantage.

Except that Peter fell on his fort and his own foot knocked down part of the wall. Oh well, he's quick to get back on his feet, ready to fight back. He steps back a little as things seemed to have changed in all of about two seconds.

Who's side does he take here? Ignis's or Tony's?

"Oh no, Mr Stark! Look out!" He throws a snowball at Ignis. Guess he'll always be on Team Iron Man, no matter what.

Tony had simply assumed Ignis would follow 'orders' and so was thrown off guard when Peter was trying to warn him. He turned to look and immediately got pelted with a few more snowballs. As he wiped the snow out of his face, he was abruptly tackle and let out a surprised yelp.

"Peter! Help!" He cried, like this was an actual assault instead of play. He wrestled with Ignis in the snow, trying to get his hands free long enough to get a handful of snow and shoved it haphazardly at his boyfriend.
