Snowball fight, anyone? 8D

[James has been getting antsy and so, even though he's been warned that going into random rooms is dangerous, he's eager to take on any challenge today. Energetically, he flings open a random, seemingly normal door, and enters a room, temporarily blinded by a cold gust that suddenly kicks up snow.]

[Once the initial wind dies down, James finds himself in a pure white snowy field. It's nearly immaculate, fresh and untouched. There's an old log cabin off to the side and on its porch stands some kind of weaponry that James has never seen before. Very curious now, he rushes towards it, and starts to hear an interesting whirring sound...]

[... before he gets hit right in the stomach with a snowball, nearly losing his breath at the hard impact. He doesn't notice the TARGETS HIT: 0/3 counter above his head, either...]

((Welcome to the SNOWBALL FIGHT room! You must hit three people with snowballs in order to leave. :3 There are special snowball-shooting weapons stored in the log cabin if you can reach it... as for what kinds of weapons they are, I leave that up to you. :3))

[Snake just grins at him and lets it hit, while Jupiter laughs.]

So did your counter change?

[Hal looks up at the 1/3 above his head. He nods in response. It was nice to see Snake with a smile on his face. He takes off his coat and lifts up the back of his sweater, the excess snow falling out of it and onto the floor. Emmerich shivers.]

Don't sneak up on me like that.

[The engineer says in a light matter.]

Alright, alright.

[The old man and dog both grin at him.]

How have you been, Dave? Transitioning well?

[The man asks as he readjusts his sweater then puts his coat back on. There's a little bit of a smile on his face.]

I suppose so...

[He misses his Hal and Sunny, though. Raiden too.]

[Well, at least he has Jupiter...]

What's wrong?

[He boldly outstretches his hand and pets the top of Jupiter's head, figuring the dog would be friendly. If not, he was ready to pull his hand away fast.]

[Silly Hal! Jupiter is always friendly. Well, unless some people give her reason not to be, that is.]

[Lick lick lick, not really Other Master person! And a big doggiegrin.]

Oh, well, it's just that I miss...being home.

[The old man sighs, and then tries to smile at Hal]

[The man gives a minute smile at the dog and continues to pet her while he listens to Snake's response.]

Yeah. I know how you feel. I missed being... home for a while. [Hal says to the floor then he looks up.] But Sunny's here. Multiples of her. And there's a few Jacks, too. I've even ran into a few other yous. Everyone we care about is here.

[The engineer hasn't run into his sister yet but he hopes he would eventually... And he's going to leave out that he's glad Naomi is here, also. Emmerich pushes up his glasses.]

It takes a while to get used to being here but I know you'll be okay.

[The brunette smiles genuinely.]

[Well, yes, but none of them were his Hal or his Sunny or his Raiden.]

[The alternates were just that, alternates. The people the people he knew could have been, if things had gone differently.]

[But he knows this Hal means well, so he smiles at him, a little sadly.]

I know, I know - It was just that we were planning to go Christmas shopping, you know?

[And then he grins at him, a little more genuinely.]

Oh, by the way, Hal - Happy Christmas!

[Have the derpiest Christmas sweater yet, Other Hal. It's pattern is the picture in the icon, except, you know, sweater. He bought it at the mall here in the Nexus, pffft.]

Yeah. I know. I had a few plans of my own before coming here.

I can still go shopping with you if you want. I'm a bit behind on my Christmas shopping.

[Emmerich still sometimes thinks about the Sunny he left in the house back home. And in the relation to shopping, Hal hasn't done any yet. His eyes widen at the gift presented to him.]

Uh - Thanks, Dave. And Merry Christmas to you, too. I - [His large hands wrap around the sweater and he lifts it to inspect it... This should probably be worn only at home.] Don't have anything for you... yet.

[Guess who bought all the presents the day before Christmas?]

Sorry.

[It should be worn only at home, till he forgets he's wearing it one day...]

No problem, no problem.

[Get a grin and some arm-patting, Older Hal.]

[Jupiter is looking up at your expectectantly, though. Did you say the magic word, 'presents'???]

[Hal nods with a small smirkish smile.]

Next time I see you, I'll have something. But you're not getting cigarettes from me, Snake. [He would be a little pissed if someone else gave Dave that.]

And I'll have something for this one, too.

[Emmerich pets Jupiter's head.]

...Don't worry. I actually managed to quit.

[His Hal had set the nano-nets on 'nag' when it came to smoking. It was super-effective.]

[Jupiter looks very happy.]

You did? ... I guess that's one less thing I need to lecture you about.

[He crosses his arms, a little cold even with all the layers of clothes he's currently wearing.]

Is there anything in particular you want for Christmas?

[Snake probably should answer or he might get a Christmas sweater.]

Oh, anything is fine.[Grin!]

[His Hal has given him everything from matching Christams sweaters to tea cosies weird enough to give kids nightmares. Oh, and don't forget the disney teaset that was theoretically supposed to be Sunny's.]

... Come on, Dave, give me more than that.

[He chuckles a small amount. Who knows what unique thing Hal might buy otherwise?]

...A movie or something, then?

[He misses watching movies with his family. Oh, well, he could watch them with Jupiter or something...]

Is there any one in particular you want or should I just buy what I think you'll like?

[Hal shivers a little and he idly wonders if the room is getting colder.]

...Oh, just surprise me. [Grin]

[He notices him shivering.]

Your counter's up, right? Let's get out of here before you get a cold.

[He puts his hand on Hal's shoulder, while Jupiter pokes him in the foot.]

Okay. [An attempt at a smirk. It quickly dissipates thanks to his teeth getting cold.]

Right - it is. [Hal looks up just to make sure. He nods, trying to keep his talking to a minimum. The man spots Snake's filled counter then turns and walks towards the exit, watching his white breath fill the air in front of him. Emmerich leaves the room, holding the door open for the other two, and sighs into the warmth of the hall.]

Much better.

It is.

[Jupiter still has her very nice doggiecoat, too.]

[The man closes the door behind the three of them, really glad to be out of the cold.]

So, what do you want to do now?

[He looks over at him. Hal doesn't have plans.]

Well, I dunno, I'm still getting my bearing here...

[Lonely old man is lonely. Can you tell?]

[Hal rubs his cool hands together.] There's a few nice location rooms here. There's a beach, a tropical jungle, and the roof. Want to go visit one of those?

[He can help Dave be not lonely.]

A beach, huh? [The jungle might be too much for Jupiter.]

...What's the roof like?
