06 - Because Snow Forts Are Freakin' Awesome

[imjustpicky]

[Action - 7132 Brooks Lane - Morning]

[A brilliant idea has come to Picky today. An excellent, brilliant, incredible idea. If there's all this snow... then he has to build a snow fort. Of course, that's a lot of work for one small Picky to do on his own. He has barely managed to outline the area on his front yard. And his clumsy robot's help isn't that helpful, being that the robot is so clumsy. But he has a plan. He knows what to do.

Pokey has already been called. Pokey will know what to do! Pokey might even, like, have a robot that'll build forts! Or at least steal enough snow from all the other yards so they can get something REALLY AWESOME going on.]

[Action - 7132 Brooks Lane - Afternoon]

[The fort is built! There's a lovely wall of snow in the front yard of 7132 Brooks Lane, and faint boyish voices coming from inside.

Also, snowballs. Snowballs are definitely being launched from inside, if you get too close. Do you dare get too close?! CAN YOU SURVIVE SUCH A PELTING?! CAN YOU?!]

(OOC note: Tags will go Originator > Picky > Pokey for order!)

[Despite getting Pokey, she takes a snowball to the back of her head from Picky. She stumbles, but quickly uses the momentum from the stumble to scoop up more snow.]

[Seeing Picky as the more direct threat with Pockey's aim going wide, she circles around the tree to put it between herself and Pokey as a shield and takes aim into the same general area of the fort before sending a couple Pokey's way.]

[imjustpicky]

[That was mostly a lucky shot, but Picky feels encouraged. If he hit her once, he can hit her again! He forms another snowball, and keeps himself exposed to he can watch, and wait... and then take a shot when she seems to be coming out from behind the tree!

...he hits the tree. Oops. Time to get more ammo and try some more...]

Get back here, Pokey! Retreat! Retreat!

[ceasetoexist]

[But he wants to keep going Picky! He doesn't retreat! Except when it's hopeless, or he's worried, or scared. Or you are.

Yeah. He'll be running back to the fort, frowning at Olivier.]

[She smirks at the retreat.]

You two did a good job with that tactic. If you want some pointers for next time, just let me know.
