No way, man. You'd think a girl strong enough to leap thirty feet in the air would be able to knock another girl off her back. Hot as it is, it's got to be staged.

Which, you have to admit, makes it *hotter*, because that means they both wanted to do it.

I dunno. Yang's like, half again Weiss's weight at least, and don't leverage somehow matter?

Ruby, I blame you for this.

You're going to have to come back to our room *sometime*. You can't have Yang smuggle clean clothes out for you forever.

And when you do...

I'll belt Toji for you when I see him next, Weiss. Or maybe I'll just tell Hikari and let her deal with the stooge.

You're on your own for the other pervert though.

Do you really want me to portal over to Florida, kid? I'm only 135 pounds to Weiss's 102.

And 90% of her jumping is powered by her glyphs. She's not like Ruby, who can drag a giant nevermore up a sheer cliff face by the neck.

Sorry, platinum blondes do *not* do it for me. The only time I got off was when I didn't need to sit on Weiss any more.

Who says *I'm* the one doing the smuggling?

Since you asked so nicely...

Here's some that Rob-oji took -- he's given me permission to share them in this thread. First up, our team's co-captains practising over at the woods behind the Billings Estate.



Next, our smart girls getting in some practice. Ami's attacking, Kazari's spotting. When I asked Ami whether she was cold wearing just her Senshi uniform, she said she got a lot colder at D-Point. Medical school has been a bad influence on her sense of humour.



Here's one of Rei and Kuroko. I don't know how she manages to stay warm wearing tights instead of slacks in the weather we've been having this week.



Rob-oji got this shot of Mako-chan and Mina-chan stockpiling ammo. Mako-chan said to blame Yatsuhashi for the size of the snowball at the bottom of the stack.



After Chibiusa and Mamoru saw the snowball stack, they decided they wanted to play in the snow instead of fighting. Too bad, because Mamoru-san is really good at throwing things. OTOH, totes adorbs pic. Rob-oji caught the moment when the fourth snowball on the stack fell off.



Our resident Misaka Sisters decided that they wanted to play, too. Niiko (for folks who know of them but don't know them, she's number 10032) had to show off and use the others' vision... and use that big snowball that was set aside for Yatsuhashi. Spoiler alert: It was too big for any of the Misaka Sisters to throw very far. And they're getting good at faking emotions, aren't they?



And, finally, Kasumi and I aren't the best at throwing things. We're just normal girls. Oh, right; Kasumi's living here instead of with the rest of the Tendo family now, so she can get a tuition discount when she goes to university in September. And Rob-oji put me on a Scully Box so we'd look better in the photo.



We'll see you tomorrow!

Blossom, huh? Bold move. Just remember -- house takes 15%.

All right, snowball degenerates, time to put your money where your mittens are. First shot flies at noon Lake Wobegon time (5 PM UTC) tomorrow, January 7. Betting closes at 11:45 AM sharp, so don't come crying to me if you're stuck in a portal queue and miss out.

Current odds (subject to shift if any of you high rollers decide to get cute in the next 24 hours, or if any more residences decide to join the fun):

Adelaide – 6:1
Anything Goes Cafe – 7:2
Appartements Mont-Royal Sud – 2:1
Aria House – 8:1
Banzai Institute - 5:1
Blossom Apartments – 2:1
Dietmeier Farm – 4:1
Douglass Gardens – 15:2
Gulfside Rest – 12:1
Idaho Springs – 3:1*
Kaluakoi Hotel - 11:1
Masaki Household - 2:1
Okeechobee – 10:1
The Steeple - 5:1
"Independents" (Individual participants from a residence not fielding a team, or ad hoc teams created on the spot) – 25:1

* Odds drop to 1:5 if someone upsets Dr. Banner. This is not a joke. If you want to test it, make sure your next of kin knows where your stash is. And no refunds.

Payouts are parimutuel (learn the term, it'll impress your dates), and final odds will be locked when betting closes. If your team's odds tank between now and then, maybe they should've trained harder.

All bets in person, cash only. No credit, no crypto, no IOUs scribbled on napkins. We have a portal system for a *reason*, people -- use it. Stop by the Café while you're here, grab some dumplings or ramen. (That's a paid plug. You're welcome, Cologne.)

See you in the snow.

Because you've never seen snow in your life, and wouldn't know what to do with it?

EDIT: Ninja'd, as the kids say in this universe.

Anyway, I won't be participating. I might not even come up to Minnesota -- I got my fill of snow at the South Pole.

Just a reminder, here again are the ground rules that have been set for the snowball fight:

1. Have fun.
   
2. No lethal powers or equipment allowed. "Lethal" is defined by a normal baseline human, without Aura, invulnerability or other enhancement.
   
3. No powers or equipment that melt the snow or otherwise ruin things for the players.
   
4. Teams win, not individuals.
   
5. All "independent" players will be considered members of the same team.
   
6. The fight ends either when only one team is left standing or willing to continue, or at sundown, whichever comes first.
   
7. Deliberately injuring a member of another team or a bystander will result in the disqualification of the one who caused the injury and his entire team.
   
8. All fighting is to immediately pause if an injury is announced, until the injured individual is taken off the field.
   
9. No snow in the house.

Please confirm -- only non-lethal ordnance is to be employed on this mission?

You can't deny that an Evangelion snowball fight would be *awesome*, though.

*Snowballs*, Sousuke! *Only* snowballs!

Don't you dare bring something stupid like flash-bang grenades to the snowball fight! Tessa, tell him!
