By late on the second day Bix was wearing the Santa suit that he'd gotten while caroling with Julie. He came RUNNING out of the dorms when he got the text. He didn't have the beard on but he was wearing the suit and hat. His weapon have been very quiet since the JOY had been dispersed. There was an intense displeasure he was sensing from her but he was so hopped up on JOY than he didn't have the mind to question it. She was simply being a spoilsport. "Snooow!" Bix came bounding through the dusty white drifts to high five Tedan. "And effin PRESENTS." He was ready for presents. "I'm in. We need a team name. Who else is on our team?"

Tedan grinned, lifting a hand into the air to wave rather enthusiastically at Bix. "I dunno, I haven't asked anyone else yet, so if there's someone you can think of who would be good at this stuff, send 'em a text or something!" he babbled with a grin, having already started making a huge pile of snow for them to work from. "Team name, team name ... Hmmmm. How about like. The Cool Dudes?" There was snow, it was cold, they were cool, they were both guys. This made sense to him... unless Bix wanted to invite one of the girls to join them. Then they might have to think up a new team name.

"Hold on.. Hold on.." Santa-Bix was peering over the many scarfed heads until he saw a familiar one. "GALE! GAAALE !! GALE!" He was jumping and waving at the blonde hunter who seemed to be by himself. "JOIN OUR TEAM!" If for some reason Gale didn't want to, Bix was giving him little choice in the matter. He was trying to think of a good name. 'Fellowship of the Ring' was sounding good. But he was pretty one-track minded.

SO MUCH SNOW.
Vanessa's brain was attempting to rationalize that she really shouldn't be that excited by the fact that there was snow outside, but the Joy programming wasn't letting her logic-producing area work very well. As such, Vanessa had donned part of her gift from Julie, a lovely reinedeer-costume if there was one. The antlers were settled on her head, but she really didn't want to wear the entire thing out. (It could get wet in the snow after all!) The antlers didn't really work well with her long orange hair, but she thought (most likely due to the Joy ) that she looked fantastic in such cheery headware.
Vanessa managed to keep from running, her serious business personality fighting against the Joy, until she got to the edge of the snow. Then, she simply gamboled right out into it all, skipping much like what her little sister would've done. She kicked up a few tufts, a delight expression coming across her face. So much snooooooooow!
And then she discovered the Snowman Building Competition, thanks to Julie's brochure. Her face when the mention of PRESENTS was priceless. The Life trainee looked like she would destroy whatever necessary to get those presents. She was going to PWN AT THIS CONTEST. "Thanks for the costume, by the way!" She called out to Julie as she made her way from the brochure-passer to go look for people to partner up with.
After a moment of scanning, Vanessa pulled out her phone and texted Minerva. The other girl couldn't miss out on this awesome.Shia Bean Hey Minerva, there's a snowman building contest going on soon. Want come help me? There will be presents for the winning group.

While Caelius was offering his teammates assistants something, someone else made sure that he too received something. Specifically, Caelius received a snowball to the back of the head. Aria didn't wait to see his reaction. As soon as she threw it in his direction, she ducked back down behind Julie's table. She couldn't resist the light titter of laughter as she began scooping snow, ready to form another one. "Psst! Julie! Did it hit?" She whispered to Julia, looking up at Mrs. Claus for confirmation. And just to be on the safe side, Aria clutched her snowball before scooting back, under the table Julie was seated at. It was difficult to be horrified by what the previous months held with so much Joy in the air. And presents. Not just any sort of presents: fantastic presents. She was wired for Joy, and she couldn't stop another giggle from coming out. This was just too much fun!

"...Jerry. Where are your pants?" Came Candace's sudden question from behind the very nervous man. What wasn't practical for snow? No pants? Yeah, she had to agree. Candace liked her boyfriend not getting frostbite, thanks. But the joy wouldn't let her be annoyed, she was shaking..both from the cold and the pure excitement over seeing snow. everywhere.
Snow. How was it snowing here. She didn't mind she was just so confused!
A curious look was given to..Mr...T? What the..
Candace didn't get much of a chance to really wonder how the hell Mr. T was a hunter before she spotted a glimpse of her leader. She heard laughter. It sounded like Aria, but she didn't see Aria. She walked up to Julie's table and bent down to peek under it, finding her leader giggling. She grinned. "Hello, ma'am~. Whatcha doin'?" It looked fun! Ohhhh! She had a snowball! What was she doing? Was she going to build a tiny snowman?

Gale was clearly drunk on this Joy.
Not that he knew that, of course.
"BIXXXXXXXX!" he shouted, bouncing over towards the white haired hunter and Tedan, slapping a hand onto both of their backs in an overly friendly gesture.
"They have presents, Bix!"

"Ahh! You'll give me away! Quick! In here, in here!" Aria beckoned, scooting over to one side (and over Julie's legs) to make room for her trainee Mist. The snowball was shifted from one hand to the other, freed just enough in order to wave frantically at Candace.
"I have," she began, "No idea if I managed to ping Caelius or not. But isn't it great? All this snow!" Aria laughed again, rolling the snowball from one hand to the other with a big grin. She continued, "We usually don't get snow around here. It's just sand on the coast or dirt further in. It's been ages since I've been able to..."
She trailed off, her gaze shifting from the snowball to Candace. "Heeeey, did you hear? Julie here is running a snow sculpture contest. Contest is fantastic presents. Wanna team up? I've got a plan~"
The Mist Leader paused, adding, "Except I have no idea what to call the team. Wanna sign us up and kick some a**?"

Oh my god. Oh my god yes. Unlike Vanessa, Minerva couldn't help but run! There was snow, and she was being given the opportunity to build in it. Just.. just yes. While she ran, Minnie also texted a response. Which surprisingly did not prove to be a hazard to anyone.
Trira "You and me? Building a snowman?! IT WON'T BE FAIR! HAHA! I'LL BE RIGHT THERE! FALALALALALALALALALALALALA!"
Once outside Minerva nearly collided into Julie's stand, eyes scanning the piles of white, hands reaching out for the brochure that was extended her way. "Thank you so much!" The woman thrummed, briefly eyeing the girl at the stand.. then her bells.. remembering them very clearly before widening her smile. They sounded so lovely right about now!
But she had business to attend to. Spinning on her heels, Minerva searched the many traniee heads (which oh man there were so many! HEY EVERYONE) until familiar strands of orange were in view. Then, with a hand stretched over her head, the death trainee hollered! "VANESSA! I'M HERE! HEEEY!"

While snow should have been alarming, or at the very least, somewhat concerning given that most of the flora might die due to the cold, the moon hunter had other things on his mind. One of them being very specific. Marcus was in hunter hunting mode. What was he hunting for? Cass. And hugs. Lots of hugs. This was distracted when her heard of something better. Presents. The blood had been set in the water and he was now out for blood. Cass was still on his brain but the front runner was 'PRESENTS' and then 'PRESENTS FOR CASS? Followed by, 'WIN CASS PRESENTS'. Only with teams forming Marcus wasn't sure he could do this on his own. So why not text the person he wanted to win presents for? Then he could get the presents and Cass! It was a double prize! demon_pachabel COME OUTSIDE THERE IS SNOW CONTEST WITH PRESENTS All caps didn't really explain though... Totally. Innocent.

"Sorry! Yes, ma'am!" Candace replied in an excited whisper as she crawled under the table and huddled up beside Aria, lavender eyes widening as she watched the snowball in an almost entranced state. It wasn't that she feared it, it just looked like the best snowball ever made. It was amazing. "HAHA!" She burst out laughing but was quick to cover her mouth and shut up, not wanting to blow their cover. Oh no! Aria was trying to hide she was going to reveal her terrible secret noooooooooooooo~! BUT SHE THREW A SNOWBALL AT CAELIUS. That s**t was hilarious! When she felt she was calm enough to speak without squealing she grinned and bounced a bit. "Really? That's still cool! I've never really enjoyed snow. Was never interested. But I'm suddenly really excited ohmygodAriaarewegoingtohaveawhiteChristmas?!" Candace asked in an excited whisper, looking like an excited child who just realized Christmas was coming!
...PRESENTS?!
Presents! OhmygodCandacewantspresents. All The Presents. All of them! "Ohmygodyesplease." Candace squealed, clapping her hand excitedly. "Oh! Oh! I know! Pick me!" She raised an arm excitedly to flail it and get her leader's attention, but all that did was make her slam it hard against the table right above her.
Ow.
Cursing under her breath and hissing with pain, Candace rubbed the back of her hand and crawled out from under the table. "Be right back." She then popped up from underneath the table. What did she do? She signed up herself and Aria.
They were Team Badass Bitches.

Team WinningRobert was being praised. The look on his face was something akin to - no - exactly like, the following.  He watched the flag go up, and let out a hoot of excitement. "ALL RIGHT. I am ready to out-crazy the crazies." That didn't even sound like a tough job for someone like him. His mind was already filling with ridiculous ideas - there was only one problem. Right after Clarice suggested it, his super amazing hearing (which wasn't really so super, Ariane was just way too close to their group and very right about someone eavesdropping), Robert heard it. "We should make a cannon," He spun around, c**k-eyed at the other hunter, before pulling Clarice away. "Okay." He bent in to whisper in her ear. "I gots some ideas, but we should be real private about this, real private. There's some sneaky sons of bitches floating around here, you know?" His eyes were lit with a crazed fire, the likes of which Clarice would have never seen before. He looked at the clipboard, briefly wishing he could write well enough to write out all his ideas, before leading her away to some secluded area to discuss the plan. And definitely not to make out with her. Definitely not.

"What?!" Aria stared at Candace, the snowball falling from Aria's startled hands. "But! But the snow is so nice and cold and you can do things like - like -" The Mist leader looked down at her thick pants and boots, her hunter coat zipped up for warmth. "Er," she stammered, reaching over to one side to quickly form another snowball. "Like this! You can't do that with a s-"
Aria broke off, an idea striking her as Candace's hand hit the underside of the table. "Yes! You!" Aria pointed at Candace, as if selecting her from a pool of applicants. "We are going to rock this contest so hard. Make it so, number four!"
As Candace left, Aria continued to sit there in the snow. Then it occurred to her that she couldn't exactly build anything here -- Julie's table got in the way. Quickly, Aria scrambled out from under the table and grabbed Candace's arm, dragging her off towards a suitable spot to begin construction.
Team Badass Bitches was in business.

Team The Three Wise Snow Balled Men(Women).
Dakota was grinning like a fool as he had their whole area set up, already well on his way to gathering snow into said area, he felt almost blinded by the sun as it reflected off his eyes. Wishing the light away, he was surprised when it did disappear.
OMG MAGIC. CHRISTMAS MIRACLE. Was his thoguhts before a voice spoke and he looked up. Oh my god it was Caelius...and he was joining their team. Apparently, Joy had him fervored to act like a idiot. Albeit...Joyfully idiotic.
"Ceres...." Dakota got up, nudging the girl in the side before pointing his chin at the man, "We just got promoted to his assistants." He wan't sure but he actually felt gleeful about it....regardless that the man had once thrown him into the wall. Like seriously, THROWN him into a wall to the point where he limped for a week.
But the christmas cheer in him was more like....ANOTHER HELPER FOR PRESENTS. PRESENTS. PRESENTS.
RUDOLPH THE RED NOSE REEEEEEEEEINDEER HAD A VERY SHINY NOSEEEEEEE.......
"Caelius....are you dedicated to the Presents? Sir?" He added on after thought before grinning, "Can we use Circe like a shovel to collect more snow?!?!?" He pointed to the pile he had collected just waiting to be formed. He looked back and forth from the scythe to the pile...back to the scythe...over to Ceres and then back to the pile of snow.
He shushed her as he point at Ryan and the gauntlets he used to pile his snow together before nodding.
He reached out though as the man offered them Candycanes and looked at him with big bright shiny orange eyes. Was this like the scrooge gone good!?!? OMG. Candy....CANES. Taste the peppermint!
He really really wanted to start forming it. "Ceres pssst....what if we make a Caelius snowman!??! Wouldn't we win!??!" He joked as he sucked on the candycane in his mouth.

Team The Three Wise Snow Balled Men(Women). She couldn't resist, even through all of the JOY infusions that were muddling her brain and causing her to see nothing but... the name caused her to quirk her eyebrow. The ******** kind of name was THAT? Balling a fist... she sent a swift punch to the man that one arm of hers was still clinging to. "You saying that i dont have as much balls as you?" She was about to continue when... OH look another lapse of the joy hit... ..And then apparently they were approached by a particular man... "..Oooh the weather outside is frightful..." The raven haired woman mumbled out, staring up at someone she would have rather avoided. Someone whom she thought insane... Someone whom was currently offering them weapons out of his coat pocket like he was some cheap 5 dollar open coat drug dealer to children. OH YEAH like she was surprised... DIRTY it is! Clearly i am the ONLY sword like object you should be wielding!> Decisions decisions...."I dont kno-" OH MAN CANDY CANES. She caught sight of them as soon as Dakota had, and one was in her mouth not even a moment later. Most of her fear towards the man before her was dwindling, as if the joy inside was filling her cerulean eyes up making one red and one green as they spoke. If Caelus said he had a white van filled with candy...well. Hook, line, and sinker. "Oh man Dakota that is a BRILLIANT idea! Assistants for the boss making a statue after the boss? Why the hell wouldn't we win!" SORRY CAEL, you were sort of just made in to a mascot. At least you are pretty.
