[Bobby's outside, holding the journal facing towards him with one hand and tossing a snowball with the other.]

I promise this is not my fault! I had absolutely nothing to do with this.

[Not that anyone except for maybe two people would have any reason to suspect him. But he's too used to having to give a disclaimer every time snow comes when it probably shouldn't have.]

But since it is here and awesome, I am totally taking advantage of it.

Does anyone like ice skating? Someone go skating with me, guys!

[There's a pause as he throws the snowball high up into the air and lets it fall back to the ground.]

Or if we can get enough people, I am all in for a game of snow capture the flag.

[It is SNOWING, and Bobby is the happiest mutant ever right now. Reply here or come bug him outside? He's wandering around all over, so if it's some place outside, feel free to run into him there.]

[Everything about snow is weird, Asuka.

Bobby sticks the branches he'd found into the sides of the snowman, adjusting them a bit so they actually resemble arms, then he nods and dusts off his hands.]

Fear not, Mr. Snowman, we'll return to actually give you a face.

[He gives the snowman a salute, then turns to head back towards the Keep.]

[And when Bobby turns to head back, Asuka does as well. In fact, he even picks up the speed a little bit, getting ahead of him. He's -cold-, and getting back into the keep for even a moment's warmth sounds like a brilliant idea.

So when the first snowball hits the back of his head, he's not expecting it.

Immediately Asuka swings around, looking at Bobby.]

Hey! That was dirty.

[Bobby's tromping along behind Asuka, so he sees the snowball whiz past him and smack into the back of Asuka's head. He turns around immediately, looking for the culprit, but sees no one but the snowman.

And then, of course, Asuka's blaming Bobby for it.]

What? Me? I didn-

[He pauses.]

There's so no point in trying to convince you I didn't do that, is there? No one ever believes the guy who says he didn't throw something until they actually find the big monster or whatever it is that's really responsible.

[Not to mention they've already had a conversation about how Bobby probably deserves it when people blame him for things.]

[That's right! Who else would've pegged him like that? But Bobby's not admitting to it, and he's not protesting the blame, so... Asuka frowns slightly, eyes narrowing in thought.]

You didn't do it? ...okay, I'll believe you.

[He grins.]

But you have to lead now.

[Bobby blinks at that.]

That was easier than I thought.

[And then he laughs.]

I knew it was too easy. All right, I'm leading, but watch out. Someone's throwing stuff.

[There is a hidden attacker out there. A sneaky hidden attacker, but Bobby's totally keeping an eye out, now.

What a shame he doesn't suspect the snowman at all.]

[Have a smirk, Bobby!]

I believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt. At least the first time.

[Asuka's keeping an eye out as they start off again too, but like Bobby, he doesn't suspect their snowman to be the culprit. But he -does- see the snowball when it passes him up, and actually almost gets the start of a warning out!

Almost.

How'd you do, Bobby? Notice that snowball flying in time?]

[And Bobby smirks back.]

I knew I liked you.

[He does indeed notice it. Mostly because he's actively trying to sense any snowballs coming at him. He manages to duck, but he's still no closer to figuring out where it's coming from.

He looks around wildly.]

Okay, whoever this is? Is either invisible or the best hider ever. Or disguised as a giant pile of snow.

It came from behind us.

[But there's nobody back there! Nothing except the snowman, and Asuka's pretty sure snow doesn't move on its own. ...He thinks.]

...

Snow doesn't move on its own, right?

[JUST MAKING SURE HERE. 'Cause that's the only thing he can come up with at the moment!]

[Bobby's scanning around behind them, looking for any sign of someone. And getting nothing, which is minorly disturbing, since it means if there's anyone out there, they're not giving off a heat signature.

He frowns slightly at the question.]

Not unless I've gotten at it. Not usually, anyway. But here? ...for some reason, I wouldn't be surprised.

Really? Huh.

[Yeah, Asuka hasn't really noticed much out of the ordinary here. Or rather, -everything- is out of the ordinary for him.]

Got any way for us to keep an eye out on what's going on behind us?

[Because nothing's been happening when they were -facing- that way. And he doesn't exactly make it a habit to carry a mirror in his pocket!]

[Just wait, Asuka. It'll probably get even worse.

Bobby considers that for a moment, then brightens.]

I do, actually!

[He concentrates, forming two simple squares of ice in his hand, focusing on making it clear and reflective rather than any kind of sculpting. He offers one to Asuka.]

Awesome.

[Asuka grins, taking the proffered ice. He holds it up so that he can see, watching carefully for anything out of the ordinary...

Two more snowballs are slung at the boys. Asuka -yelps-, ducking to one side and only managing to catch the tail end of it. Then he glances over to Bobby, incredulous.]

Did you just see what I saw?

[It had been the -snowman-! But that was impossible, right?]

[Bobby looks into his as well, and-

Holy crap.

He ducks, whirling around to face the snowman, who's...just sitting there. Being a snowman.]

I really hope I did. Tell me you saw the snowman throwing snowballs at us, so I don't think I'm crazy?
