TEAM FESTIVEMAS
Before raised a hand just as he drew in a breath to declare: "... .... ......????" still with his mouth half-open, he tilted his head, "Jack Frost? OOOOOOOOOOOH!!! OH! OH OH OH!!!" he clapped excitedly and began to point at some of the other teams, "Maybe maybe maybe we could incorporate some'v their stuff? Like like like goodwill to ALL yeah? YEAH?" 8DDDDDDD This was not entirely JOY Number 5's doing. Before is just that excitable.

Harrison scratched his head. "Yeah but we only got two hours...I think we oughta boil it down. Into... uh,"
A poignant narration that's the essence of the Christmasival Spirit, B0nez supplied, Like winning and getting all the stuff.
"One scene and a few guys. Maybe make an angel riding a mutant reigndeer...and this goon guy, they could be hugging?"

TEAM FESTIVEMAS
Normally, real life limitations would have Before pouting in disappointment but a.) Harrison's words made sense. b.) JOY was everywhere. c.) It isn't as if you have something better in mind, silly Before. And so, Before enthusiastically nodded, "Yes! Hugging! And and and a two-headed mutant reigndeer? Maybe?" 8333333 Heart bubbles. Before was practically radiating them at the image Harrison had painted in his head.

TEAM Three Cool Guys - Final Post Bix flailed happily when Tedan agreed. That just meant Gale had no choice (but they were bros. He shouldn't have any problem). When Tedan claimed Superman, Bix made an excited noise. "You guys build yourselves.. Hold on." Bix started to scramble strangely in his santa suit. He wriggled, wiggled and squirmed and it only took a few minutes before he was pulling his t-shirt out of his sleeve. A SUPERMAN SHIRT! "We can put this on your snowman!!" He chucked the shirt at Tedan to use and went about sculpting his own snowman. He had an idea but would need some supplies in order to make their snowmen 'super'. He rushed over to Julie's and gave her a wink as he grabbed some colored paper. He cut them into masks and smacked them onto the heads of the snowmen. "They need a final touch...." He paced around like a fine art critic. "CAPES! TAKE OFF YOUR COATS!" The gold and white coats were tied around them like capes and in a flash, Bix had summoned his bow and smashed it into the hand of his snowman. Mina cursed and hissed in his head but with the JOY in the air she'd been doing that a lot.

"Julie," She whispered as she started work on the cannon, packing ice up to form a tower before hollowing it out, running her hands up and down the shaft in an attempt to stiffen the sculpture, "She hit Caelius with her bells!" She wasn't sure why she was whispering, just that she would probably end up yelling if she wasn't.
"I think our cannon's taking shape," She nodded, patting the mouth of the cannon gently.

Team White Christmas"Oh... that's not very jolly of him," Madison said, disappointed. Then Jordan pointed out the long and sacred tradition of piling up snow by hand, and she nodded with newfound enthusiasm. "You're totally right! We'll, like, be inspired by snow-craftsmen of old or something. Like... old school. Rustic." She knelt down in the snow and started grabbing big armfuls, adding them to the pile and packing it down tightly. "Spectacular..." Ugh, what was spectacular. "A really big present? A bell? Santa? A reindeer? A... Christmas tree? A really nice fort? A sledding hill?" Oh, god, her ideas were terrible. "A snowglobe?" As she talked, she kept piling on the snow higher and higher. The big pile could be turned into anything, right? And they'd have to make a big pile no matter what, right?

Team White ChristmasThere was a good idea in there. " Santa," Jordan said. "That's awesome. That's the best idea. We can build Santa. With a bunch of presents all around him. Nobody could resist that, right? The spirit of Christmas." He nodded firmly. "That's a great idea, Maddie." He paused to take a look at their pile of snow. Needed more snow. He set about piling up more into a shape that might start to resemble a figure, and began singing again, absentmindedly. " You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm telling you why - Santa Claus is coming to town ... " That's kind of disturbing, Ferros observed grumpily. What is this guy, some kind of Boogeyman?Ignoring you, Jordan cheerfully informed him.

Team White Christmas"Ohhh... we could make it life-size, and then maybe... maybe Mrs. Claus would like it." The thought of the sweet, cookie-making grandmother who was surely the venerable Mrs. Saint Nick brought tears to Madison's eyes. "It wouldn't matter if we won, so long as she liked it..." Madison kept adding snow to the sides of the figure. "Let's give him a bag of toys, right here... he might fall over otherwise! Or maybe we should put him in a chimney!? Up on the roof top, reindeer paws, down comes good old Santa Claus- Wait, reindeer don't have paws, do they?"

Aria nodded to Candace as the trainee began to work, the older woman turning away to give their claimed "territory" a hard look. What to build, what to build... A glance towards the other teams revealed nothing; they were still rolling snow, building it up to shape it. A grin quirked at her lips. She didn/t recall anything concerning the use of weapons. Aria's flamethrower was soon in her hands, goggles down over her eyes. The blue hot-cold the weapon produced was used carefully, a thin flame tracing a shape into the snow before increasing in size. With that accomplished, the mist leader dismissed her weapon and pulled out a pair of gloves from her pocket. She then knelt down and wrenched the ice-shovel free from the snow, grinning. Getting a mound of snow was no longer a problem for Team Badass Bitches.Even with a pile of snow, what next? When in doubt, go with what you know, Aria told herself as sge drew a rough outline in the snow. The outline was roughly a square in shape, refined and made deeper into an even rougher 'V'-shape pointed towards a majority of the teams. Aria began to work on the main structure, sometimes calling Candace over for either assistance or to quickly instruct her in building techniques. Then bresult? Team Badass Bitches had a badass snow fort. Two walls, at least. Anyone who walked around it would find that it was just a barrier or shield complete with several piles of ready to throw snowballs. The fort itself was a combination of snow and ice, complete with icicle spikes jutting out from the top and sides. The front of the fort looked as if it was made out of snowballs, though a closer inspection revealed what could have passed as a stick here, an odd shape there. With a small stretch of imagination, it could have been built out of half-melted snowmen. The space in front of the fort was also used. Several snowmen decoratedbthe landscape, arms held high and screaming in horror with unsurpassed holiday glee. Aria stared at their creation, her weapon resting against her shoulder as she shifted her weight. "Think we overdid it?" She asked, wondering if she should throw some snowballs at the over Joy'd snowmen in their entry for added effect.

Team White Christmas"If Mrs. Claus likes it, we'll know we've done it right," Jordan agreed. Ordinarily, he found the silent little old lady who seemed to live in the kitchen a little creepy, but right now, she was totally included in The Spirit of Christmas. She was Mrs. Claus, after all. ... Whether or not this was actually true he had no idea, but he was currently entirely convinced. "He could be standing by the chimney," Jordan suggested. "It'll support the figure. Here, this can be the toy bag." He chuckled at Madison's question. "No, you've got the wrong word," he explained. "P-A-U-S-E, not P-A-W-S. Like waiting. You know?"

Team White ChristmasMadison slapped another armful of snow on the pile, then paused. "Wait. Really? Huh. All this time..." She shook her head ruefully and started making a smaller mound to be the chimney. "You any good at making faces? Out of snow, I mean? God, why'd they assign this to SoCal kids? Snow is something that, like, happens to other people!" ... Nevermind that she'd been the one to text Jordan. At least she seemed cheerful about it.

Team Kill Jerry with Pointy Sticks - FINISHED PRODUCT POST As the sticks came crashing down thanks to Killzone's help, Jerry staggered back with a yelp- that was far more than enough! "Ahahah p-p-perfect!" He managed with a polite shiver, immediately scooting about to sort them. He put his favorite sticks on one pile beside his growing snow-mound, the rest he shifted off to the side to be dealt with later. RIGHT! He knew what he had in mind, he could envision it, and with Roar's direction, he built the mound up larger and larger, hollowing out underneath until it was indeed a hulking beast. Sticks for quills, rocks for eyes, tiny twigs for sharp teeth- yes, yes, most fearsome. But still all of those left over sticks..... he quickly piled up a bit more snow until the Snow Howler had a little porcupine friend to battle. All finished, or at least supposing he was finished, he turned to his "Partner", positively beaming between the shivering convulsions, "T-t-tt-t-t-t-tadaa!!! Snow-Howler!" Before dropping into the snow to curl up for a nap. He didn't feel that cold anymore. He felt pretty warm, actually. Power of positivity? Perhaps. Or the power of hypothermia, who knew, who cared? He was done!  edit: Now with color!

Team Kill Jerry with Hugs"Yaaaaaaaaay~" Jerry murmured blearily. Suddenly he wasn't quite so cold and HURRAH hugs were good, yes, very good, and so he huddled for warmth around the massive warm thing that had picked him up, shuddering limply like a Jerryshawl over Killzone's shoulder, nice and warm in his embrace. Yaaaaysnowandthisjoyfulseasontheywouldwinforsurebutfornownaptime.

Team White ChristmasThe idea wouldn't have occurred to him previously, but when Maddie specified ...  " ... sculpturally, probably not as much," he said, and grinned. "But I can sure try. Snow, jeez. Snow is something they put in pictures to make it look pretty, right?" He poked at the figure's face, trying his hand at shaping something that looked facelike.
