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))

[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?

[The man nods.] There are... 3 scattered around that I've visited. They're all pretty nice.

I guess its just a regular roof. [Emmerich shrugs minutely.] It has a gazebo and a small garden. The place is great if you want some fresh air.

So, where to, Snake?

[He wouldn't mind any of them himself.]

...I'd like to see the beach, I think. [Grins!]

[The last time he visited the beach was a long time ago.]

[Hal nods then walks off, arriving at one of them. Soon after entering the room, his attire completely changes (http://209.197.9.112/f4n6v3z2/cds/uberreview.com/wp-content/uploads/rubiks-cube-swim-trunks.jpg?dopvhost=cdn.uberreview.com&doppl=1e71d721535087ab530087ab82c58ec5&dopsig=8e3b79352d5d3ecfdfb0e73b644c9c61). The man looks down at it, internally sweatdropping. A identical green towel also appears in his grasp along with a bottle of sunscreen. Emmerich doesn't turn around but he addresses the man anyway.]

Oh, right, some of the rooms dress you when you enter them. Our regular clothes will come back after we leave.

[There are scars on the front of Hal's body he doesn't want his friend to see quite yet.]

[Blinkblink. The old Snake's clothes have changed to. His has green snakes in it.]

Ahhh. [Enjoyes the warmth. Wonders a bit why Hal isn't facing him when he talks to him, but doesn't ask...yet.]

[Jupiter now that a suncap on.]

[Emmerich walks off, assuming Snake will follow him. His feet dig into the warm sand then he stops near the water, closing his eyes to let the cool breeze caress his body. Hal takes off his glasses and decides to stand there for a little bit, just taking in the relaxed atmosphere.]

[He momentarily forgets about the scars decorating his body. There's one going horizontally across his throat, where a Vamp had dealt a finishing blow. There's also a small one on his belly, where the same Vamp had stabbed his stomach. And there's five going down the inside of his right arm and many small ones crisscrossed across the inside of his left wrist as well.]

[........Starrrrrrreeeeees.]

[Have a Snake looking at you, Hal. Yeah, it's Snake, not Dave - Not now.]

[A hand goes up, trying to trace the scars.]

[His Nano-nets have began to raise warning signals.]

[There's also two faded puncture wounds on his neck where another Vamp had decided to snack on him.]

[Hal stretches his arms up then his attention lands on his friend and that stare. He instantly looks away from him, his eyes aimed at the ocean water coming in on the shore, his arms dropping to his sides. An ashamed blush forms on his face and minutely on his neck.]

[Emmerich swallows, the self consciousness of his... despicable body coming back full force.]

I... got into some fights.

...You got into some fights?

[That does not sound right at all.]

Who, why and when.
