[It's late morning, the air is frigid, and there's a lawyer making a fool out of himself in the snow outside the castle.

Standing near what looks like it might have once been intended to be the base of a snowman (and is now little more than a hill of snow), he's cupping his hands around his mouth and shouting--both at anyone who might be around, and into his nearby open journal, too.]

Heyyyy! Anybody want to join a snowman-making contest?? I have supplies!

[Because heck if he's going to do this alone!]

[holycraponacracker]

[Laughs.] Yeah, okay. I could be persuaded to participate. But what does the winner win?

[takethat]

Hm...

[He pauses to consider that very valid question.]

...dessert. I'll make you a dessert of your choice.

[holycraponacracker]

Oo~

What do you want if you win? Which you won't because I am the queen of snowman-making. [Said teasingly, not meanly.]

[takethat]

You should see the monstrosity I already made.

[A laugh]

I don't think I'll be winning!

[holycraponacracker]

[Giggles.] Okay. I'll be out in a second! And if you win, I'll make your prize a surprise.

[Closes her journal and goes to bundle up.]

[doublethefun]

May I assume 'tis similar to a snowpony?

dictated

[takethat]

Sure! Why not! Snowponies are welcome.

[doublethefun]

[she'll take that as a 'yes']

Are these 'snowmen' only male?

[takethat]

[A laugh]

Nah, it's more like a catch-all term... snowladies are just as acceptable, too.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Fuck yeah I am! I made the best snowmen last year [Nora laughs] When're we doing this?

[takethat]

[He claps his hands together, pleased to see someone so exuberant about snowmen.]

Right now! If you're available right now, anyway.

[eat_me_beat_me]

For this? Definitely! I'll be right down.

[She slams her journal closed and races to put some warmer layers on before heading down and outside.]

[takethat]

[He'll be waiting there, pacing and swinging his arms back and forth to try to stay warm. Despite how cold it is, he's not willing to give up on his snowmen anytime soon.]

[theabjectauthor]

That seems as pleasant a way as any to pass the time. Where shall I come and find you, sir?

dictated

[takethat]

[Ah, a voice he's never heard before.]

Oh! I'm outside--not far from the front doors of the castle. I'll be the guy with the buckets of coal and carrots.

[theabjectauthor]

Very well. .... Do you require an assortment of snowman-sized outerwear as well?

[takethat]

Oh, well, if you have access to it! I hadn't thought of that.

[billiardsplz]

You sir, are on.

[takethat]

[He grins.]

Great! I'd like to see you try to beat me!

[billiardsplz]

Ha! How long has it been since you got out to make one? Ten years?

[takethat]

[He considers that seriously for a moment.]

No... but probably at least five.

[psych0p0mps]

haha sure why not
i dont think i got around to doing that last year

[takethat]

Wonderful! I have all the standard supplies, but if you need anything out of the ordinary, you'll have to wish it up on your own.

[psych0p0mps]

dont worry about that
im sure i can find more than enough random crap to stick at odd angles into snow torsos :)

[So yeah have a troll girl flying on down there about thirty seconds later, all bundled up in a simply enormous purple down coat. 0u0]

[takethat]

[He stifles a laugh at her in that coat, waving a gloved hand in greeting.]

Ready to build?
