[Video, joint post with 17]

(Blue is 18, red is 17.)

[Maybe being out in the beginning of a blizzard was a bad idea, maybe, just maybe. Not that it stopped a particular set of twins from instead wandering out into it like there was absolutely no problems with it whatsoever. The video is first centering on Eighteen, a small frown on her lips before she’s glancing at something off screen. Perhaps of note is the fact she’s really just wearing a light hoodie and sweatpants with boots. Nothing for this kind of weather.]

”Really? People were getting upset about a little bit of snow? This honestly isn’t anything new… Pretty sure we’ve seen worse blizzards in North City than any of this, so all of this winter warnings and make sure to stock up on food and water! nonsense is… kind of pathetic to watch.”

[Somewhere off screen a response could be heard. If it was anyone recognize, it was Seventeen’s.]

”That’s nothing. Someone online was hoping to see me die out here or something. Sorry to say, it didn’t work. Too bad for her. Even better, Eighteen, show the video here. You are posting this.”

[Of course she was posting this, why wouldn’t she? Though she’s at least turning around finally to face him, shifting the video feed so it shows what her brother is up to right now.]

”Awfully rude of her to be wishing death on you, guess I’ll have to deal with that later. What are you doing?”

[And there was Seventeen, with a sweatshirt, minus the hood and jeans with boots. And above his head, he is holding one freaking GIANT snowball, five times his size as if it’s nothing. There is a mischievous grin when Eighteen questioned him.]

”Oh, giving the audience some entertainment.”

[Think fast Eighteen! He tossed the monster ball towards her.]

[Too bad for him that she’s absolutely just going to blast that damn snowball out of his hands and lunge at him to try and grab the neck of his sweatshirt to very forcefully pull him down and hopefully face first into the snow.]

”That’s cute, baby brother.” [You two are literally twins, don’t.]

[Luck was on her favor as Seventeen felt the force from his sister, and down his head went, plunged to the pile of snow as if a cannonball was launched from somewhere and landed right under the palm of Eighteen. Ouch. ]

[Muffling under here.]

"MFF MMM."

[He looks so pitiful like that, it's almost sad.]

I didn't put your face that far into the snow, don't be a baby.

[He was just lazy, but manages to finally lift his head there. He brushes the snow off his dark locks.]

I didn't feel like getting up. Besides, that was cheating.

[Oh come on, Seventeen, don't be like that. She's rolling her eyes, biting back a small hint of a smile.]

There were never any rules in place, so how was that cheating?

[Eighteen, please. There maybe a hint of grin over here as well.]

It's a common knowledge in the game of snowball. You have to hit them when they--

[He explains while secretly scooping some up, and think fast Eighteen.]

--least expect it.

[so many questions. as Androids do they not have to worry about the cold? can their joints get locked up? are their batteries compromised? ...

~~are they cyborgs but they call them androids?~~ looks like these two are having the time of their life.]

......

?!

Woah.

[wasn't expecting both the boulder-size snowball or the energy blasts as the two proceeded to get into a snowball fight.]

[~~All this and MORE on the next episode of Genessia.~~ Seventeen eventually responds as well, with more snow in his hair, as he tries to shake them off with his hand.]

I know, not that cold, right?

[Seventeen, that was not it.]

Uh... Yeah. Sure.

[truth be told he could probably handle it? ...albeit not for too long.]

You're a lot stronger than you look.

[A shrug.]

I can't be the only one. Are you afraid?

[Curious question.]

Why would I be?

[it's such a simple question, innocently said too. he knows nothing of what 17 and 18 were re-tooled for. not a hint of judgment in the way he looked at them. well, besides the initial surprise, that is.

never in fear though.]

Just asking.

[Another shrug. He was used to it. Makes him want to say 'well... maybe in case of events here...' but naw!]

I had a speech ready just in case.

...

You still wanna say it?

Naw, this is better.

[there's something about that answer that he likes, and it gets a little smile from Cloud]

Have fun out there, 17.

... don't eat too much snow.

[[There is a hint of smile.]

When the weather is decent enough, better watch your back.

[Yes Cloud, there will be unexpected snowballs.]

I think I'll pass.

[since when has that helped Cloud not get involved in the past?]

[Cloud, please.]

Suit yourself.

[~~Look, Gero was a fucking idiot.~~

She's peering at her device again for a moment, not quite sure what to make of all that, huh.]

What part of that are you "woah"ing?

[Cloud leans back in his seat meanwhile.]

... I guess both?

Looks like being an android has its perks.

[... Well, fair, she guesses.]

In a... way? Has drawbacks, too, but you take what you can get.

[drawbacks? ... part of him is curious, but she looks like she's having fun dunking her brother in the snow. maybe he'll ask 17 sometime.]

Least you're faring better than I would out there.

[not that Cloud couldn't handle it if push came to shove, but still.]

[Rapunzel really had no idea what was going on really. So the young woman just quietly watched, being slightly baffled by the whole thing, at least for the moment.]

You... look like your having fun.

[Ah, well. She forgot that she could still get replies on this thing and is merely dragging it out of her pocket to look at it once more, a small, small hint of a grin on her lips.]

About as much fun as we're going to get in all of this, since everyone else is hiding in their homes. Blizzards aren't new for us, after all.

This is actually my first blizzard, so it is pretty interesting and fun. I mean I haven't actually gone out into it yet, but I might do.

[And 17 slips in.]

It's best you stay inside until the wind dies down.

Is it that bad?

It is.

For humans who aren't adjusted to this kind of weather, it is.

For once I have to agree with him.

Ah, but what is someone wore layers?

[ Somewhere nearby, Noah was largely feeling irritated with herself. As she was more spirit than living being, the cold didn't affect her... much. She still could *feel* cold if she believed it enough, just like she could still taste food. A blizzard this harsh necessitated her ignoring that feeling though.

Still, it would be nice to find some place where she'd feel more relaxed.

She was making bunny angels on the ground and had made roughly five of them before errant snow crashed down, ruining two of them. Her mild irritation grew into hot anger as she looked at the source. ]

Hey! You people have no manners whatsoever!

[ Now up on her feet, silver hair whipping around behind her, she gathered her mana to fire an ice spell in their direction.

An ice spell that probably consisted of say, roughly 500 snowballs of varying sizes. ~~Rita would have been proud.~~ ]

[Whenever 17 got his face off the ground, he heard the little bunny and her commotion, wasn't phased.]

[Not only an angry rabbit girl, and that was a lot of snowballs coming their way. With a swift of the hand, 17 brushes the air and deflects every snowball heading his way. Anything bigger than a regular size, he expects 18 to do something about them.]

You're doing the same thing.

[Talk about a calm argument.]

[ There was some irritation from that, especially since the man had so coolly called her out on her own hypocrisy.

But then she realized that this man was strong. Stronger than she was, able to bat away most of her smaller snowballs with just his hands. No, she wasn't going to be able to contest with that.

Well, not normally, but why not play around?

She'll focus her anger of her interrupted project into something more productive. Like taunting. ]

Let me have my moments, okay? Since you were rude enough to bring your turf war into my building place.

[Why was it that girls made things difficult?

It was a good thing she cooled down, or at least caught a hint what Seventeen was capable of. Seventeen should learn to take it easy as well. Regardless, Seventeen gave a shrug.]

My bad. Everyone else taken shelter from this storm. Those snowballs though, wasn't half bad.

Not bad, huh?

I feel like I'm much weaker than I used to be, but maybe I'm just out of practice. You wouldn't mind letting me test myself, would you?

[ She might come from a peaceful island, but quite a few people there would pick a (magical) fight with you at the drop of a hat. You don't get strong without practice.

Not even bothering to wait for an answer, she stamps her foot on the ground, and three tall columns of snow rise from the ground. From the top, the columns began to shrivel down into icy dust.... or rather, fast moving snowballs that fired like machine guns. ]

[Since she didn't start this fight? Well, Eighteen is casually stepping way off to the side to let Seventeen probably get pummeled by a bunch of snowballs. If he does, then, well, he really has no business claiming to be a fighter, probably.

Especially one that could deal with Goku's little group, particularly.]

Enjoy that mess, I didn't sign up for a snowball war.

You're no fun.

[Eighteen please! Seventeen got this, and hey, he doesn't mind playing with some kid.

This time he goes ahead and dodges them while studying this move.]

Oh? So you want to play?

[ Why not?

The pillars of snow finish their assault, and lo and behold, this man is no worse for wear. Noah knows he's strong, and it's been a while since she's actually looked forward to a fight. Maybe it's because it's playful and doesn't have the high stakes that followed the disaster that hit her home.

Noah looks at him square in the eye, a light sparking in those seemingly vacant eyes. ]

What do you think I'm doing?

[Seventeen doesn't seem to mind at all what Noah was doing. If she wanted some kind of fight, that was fine. It's not like he plan to kill her or anything, Seventeen isn't like that. And to Seventeen, all he saw was a kid, probably bad as he used to be.

When the assault stopped, he looked up to her. Even though he seemed cold even when he stared up at her, he probably was enjoying this. It was hard to tell, unless he was asked.]

I think you're missing the target.

[Seventeen please!]

[ Noah huffed. ]

I don't need to hear that from you.

[ Her answer to that was to point a finger and sweep a wide laser right in front of him in an arc, splashing up snow. Unlike her other attacks, this one comes out much faster. ]

[Seventeen stands there, taking the full hit. He doesn't mind, it's just snow. He looks indifferent after taking that force.]

[ A direct, clean hit... which he just tanks. Noah's not sure how to react to that. ]

You're supposed to dodge, silly. Or can you not make up your mind?

Edited 2018-01-20 13:00 (UTC)

Yeah, but I guess you caught me off guard.

[So calmly said while he dusts himself off some snow. Then... surprise energy blast snow dishing it back at her.]

[ While Noah is strong, she’s not as nearly as quick on her feet as this man. She wound up getting blasted right in the face, with some of it even getting up her mouth. Irritated, she spit it out! ]

Argh!

[ Spirit or not, unexpected snow in your mouth is pretty annoying. ]

I knew I asked for that and it’s still not fair!

[ She shook it off, but didn’t yet press an attack. She seemed a bit more defensive now. ]

[Noah, stop feeding the troll, ern Seventeen! He can't help but snickered at that. Poor spirit bunny.]

Careful, there's more where that came from.

[He says this while scooping a snowball. Then he throws it like a baseball. But he doesn't end there.

He phases out from where he's standing, and reappears on one side of Noah with two more snowballs ready and tosses towards her direction. He phases out and reappears again from another side and repeats the process. Seventeen keeps doing this to see how far she can keep up with him, unless Noah has a way to stop his tracks.]

[ Unlike before, it seemed she was bit more prepared this time. She tilts her body just enough to dodge the first snowball, and then the second. Minimal movement was the key, given she'd never outspeed him. However, as he attacked faster, she found that she had to cover the slack with a barrier. In a real fight she'd never be able to counter attack as long as the barrier was up, putting in in real danger.

Here? She didn't give a damn.

She moved to dodge a last salvo, dropped her barrier, raised both hands, and sent several streams of icy snow in his direction. If someone could look above her, they'd see her streams resembled a snowflake. ]

[Yes, this is all fun, games, and maybe a little show off. Right? Right.

The barrier she displays was impressive. Makes him wonder how much her barrier could withstand. After the quick assault, Seventeen backs down and prepares for the counter, arms up and in front of him.

He doesn't need to, but when he sees the streams of snow coming, he puts up his green sphere barrier as well, extending one hand out. Only whenever the snow bunny cease her attack, he will drop the barrier.]

[ Oh, so he had barriers too? Not bad.

She grinned, letting up when she realized he wouldn't let up. She needed to employ more sneak attacks into her magic, there was no way she'd get a leg up on him in their current state.

Not that she was going to let him know that. ]

Gosh, you can actually put up a barrier? Guess there's some brain in all that muscle after all.

[His barrier goes down. He didn't care how this fight would go honestly, long as they both enjoy themselves and give it all? He begins to lax a little, hands in his pockets, may too lax.]

Now are you trying to compliment me or get in my nerves? Your attacks ain't bad either I suppose, for a little rabbit.

[He gave a hint of smile.]
