January turned into February as it tends to do, year after year. And the weather didn’t look like it was going to get any better, even though spring was around the corner. Or at least closer than it was a few weeks ago. The sky was overcast and grey for most of yesterday, leaving Frances sat in her window staring at it willing the fluffy things to open up and coat the world in the magic that hid the dirt and blood, even if for a little bit. “Please, I just want some snow.” She said softly to the skies. After watching a while longer she turned in for bed, her dreams filled with fluffy white flakes and the sound of laughter. 

Upon waking she slowly stretched, forgetting her dreams of the night before. She was going over her todo list in her mind, knowing she had to stop by and speak to JackMezzo regarding her kick-ups to him, and how the tips hadn’t been as profitable as she had hoped. Not a conversation she was looking forward to. She pulled her coat and gloves on and made her way down the stairs of the boarding house, stopping at the desk to remind Mildred that the sink in the second-floor bathroom was still without hot water, and the ugly old woman brushed her off, but perhaps with enough nagging, it would eventually get sorted. “Careful,” Mildred said to Frankie, as she had turned for the door, “Snowed nearly a foot last night.” with that Frankie looked back at her eyes wide, and a smile on her face. 

“Snow!” she exclaimed as she pulled her knit hat over her curls, “Finally, snow!” she bid the woman goodbye, shouted one last time about the sink before rushing out the door and nearly falling down the stairs. She laughed at the sight before her, white powder, fresh and shimmering in the sunlight of the day. “Snow!” She called out again, holding her arms out and twirling in a circle, the flakes still falling on her face. She took off in a cautious jog towards the center of town, ready to have a bit of fun. 

As expected Dino had found her, she wasn’t sure how that man did it but for once she was glad for it. “Run to JoynerLucas and tell him we need a table set up with hot chocolate and booze.” She said to him, before she reached down and scooped up some snow into her hands, expertly rolling it into a ball. She looked around for the first victim, the one she’d drag into her fun even if it killed her and laughed as she spotted the form of her mysterious boss. 

Swinging her arm back she let the perfect first snowball of the year fly towards Jack, calling out, “Hey Here’s my kick up, Boss!” before she reached down to scoop up some more snow. The life of a mobster was a serious one, but fuck it it was a snow day and she was going to have some god damn fun and drag everyone into it with her. 

Dino ran...well, slid to JoynerLucas joint and did Frankies bidding, on his return he fashioned a snowball, although some of the snow was yellow which he thought was nice and threw it into Frankies head

'booyah for snow days.  the table is ready when you are'

Dino sets about making a snowwoman with boobs, maybe he should make a horse too?

She had been looking for the next target, a person to bring into the fold of fun and festivities when she was hit in the shoulder with Dino's ball. "I hadn't yelled sack!" she cried out as she ducked out of the way of another ball and looked at the table. "But thank you, and obviously we're gonna need a horse," she told him as she started setting out hot chocolate, some with bourbon and some with whiskey and some just plain hot chocolate for those who needed a reprieve from the cold or something to do when they were tired of ballhandling. "Did you tell Joyner he had to make an appearance?" she asked Dino, "I'll go in there and bully him if I need to." she said. 

Drunk Dino strolled into Joyner's and asked for a table and a lot of hot chocolate. This was the first time the man had spoken to him. Usually it's Frances doing the talking. Joyner prepared the hot chocolate and got the table ready. As the chocolates were brewing, Joyner stepped outside his place and grabbed a snowball.

"Take this fuckers" 

He said to himself before throwing it at Frances and hitting her in the back of the head.

Her body jerked forward as the snow impacted, she caught herself just before falling face-first into a pile of fluffy white goodness. "What the fuck!" she yelled as she spun around, the snowball she had been making dropped uselessly to the ground. "I set up a day of fun and you fucks all just attack me endlessly?!" She shouted before shaking her head and scooping up some more snow. "Its fine, its fine, I'm not even mad." she told Joyner, "Not one bit." she packed the snow tightly in her gloved hands, whistling softly as she walked over to Joyner. 

"Thank you for your help," She told him, "I know it was a bit last minute and you barely know me." she nodded her head, "But getting this set up was important and your help means the world." she squeezed her hands together just a bit tighter. "Let me show you," she said as she held her arms out as if she was going to hug the man, and instead walloped him upside the head with the harder than normal, snowball. She laughed, echoing in the air off the buildings, and dashed away from him. "So much appreciation!" she called out before reaching down to get some more snow. 

Joyner shook his head as he got a snowball to the face. He laughed, after all, it was good to have some fun sometimes right?

"Oh you. My mother told me never trust a woman but I didn't believe her. And look where that got me!"

Joyner bent over to grab some snow and shape it into a ball. He made 3 of them. After making them, he walked over to Dino and threw one at him, nailing him in the back. The other was tossed in Frances way and hit her on the leg as she was pretty far.

"Shit, my arm isn't what it used to be."

She still tripped as the snowball hit her, she hadn't been paying attention to the projectiles coming her way and as she fell into a pile of snow that had been shoveled off the sidewalk she let out a dramatic cry, "Nooooo!" as if falling slow motion. She laid there for a moment or two, contemplating how childish she was being and deciding she didn't care. Rolling to the side she got to her feet, scooped up more snow and let it fly at Drunky who was stumbling down the street. 

"Ah ha! On the rocks, buddy!" she yelled, pumping her fist in the air with victory. 

Watching from afar Kanan witnessed the massacre that went on...As he was about to walk away he saw Joyner get pelted in the head with a snowball and crept into action. As he slowly crept up to Frances, he scooped the closest snow near him. Just then she threw another snowball at Drunky.

''This woman's is aim is deadly'' he muttered.

So as she celebrated in joy, I threw the snow with all possible strength in me...

She went flying again, honestly a street full of people, and apparently she showed up with a target on her back. Her face down in the snow she started laughing as it burned her skin, causing it to go red from the cold. "God damn it!" she yelled as she pushed herself to her hands and knees, shaking her head before getting to her feet and wiping the last bits of snow off her face before they melted and dripped down her collar. "I'll get you for that!" she cried out, turning around trying to find the culprit who was responsible. 

Kanan hid behind a tree as quick as a possibly could and pray she didn't catch him throw it at her.

As  she started to near closer, I realised all my heavy breathing was emitting a huge cloud of mist was circling the tree

I covered my mouth and feared for the worst...

While slowly packing the most perfect snowball to grace the world she made her way towards some likely hiding spots. "Oh where could the assailant be," she sang out, skipping now as she moved towards the trees, trying not to giggle as the mist came from behind it. "oh how stealthy they are," she added, moving to the left so her voice would carry away from the tree. "Perhaps I will never find them, woe is me!" she cried out dramatically before crouching down and sneaking around to the right to where Kanan was hiding. "Boo!" she said softly before taking her snowball and mashing it down the front of their shirt with a laugh and dashing off. 

Kanan rolled and stood up swiftly and chased her whilst laughing hysterically 

''Im gonna get ya''.He shouted 

As he was about to catch Frances he tripped and fell on some ice and landed on Dino snowman with boobs

She laughed as the man sprawled out on the snow, "Boobs on that guy!" she yelled, pointing before grabbing some snow and quickly crafting a few balls to lob towards Kanan and Dino. "Look out, she's gone mad! Her balls are everywhere!" she shouted before turning around and throwing another one into the crowd to see if she couldn't get someone else to join in. 

Dino tried to stay out of the way of the icy projectiles as they flew hither and tither, hither and tither were two birds who gave snowballs rides, they weren't very bright, and continued his snow woman and horse

'Frankie, what do you think of these then?'

Dino does snow angels

She stopped running and turned to observe her new smelly friend laying in the snow moving his limbs back and forth. "Well that does seem fun.." she said before she laid down and did the same. "Angelic! We're angelic!" she tried to get to her feet without ruining the effect, but she slipped and ended up ruining the outline she had made. "Alright, well I guess I'm not as angelic as I had hoped," she told Dino before getting an armful of snow and dumping it on his head while he laid there flopping around happily. "But I'm not surprised!" 

While walking down the street and seeing the snow settle on the floor dihajh thought it would be a good idea to get involved in the fun, after scooping low to pick up a snow ball he threw it and aimed frances with his aim being so bad and having a couple of vodka's he missed massively and hit nala in the face. 
 

Smirking and grinning as if he meant to do this, he shouted NALA GOT YOU, TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN. He than ran away to try and hide from any more snowballs being thrown in his general direction.

She had braced herself ready for the impact when the ball of snow went wild and she watched it go in a completely different direction. Clapping her hands with glee she laughed, "Birthday drinks got the best of you, huh Dihajh " she called out before lobbing a snow ball his way as he ran off. She just missed him, nailing a tree instead. "Blast!" she said stomping the ground with her foot, "Come back here and take these balls to the face like a real man!" she shouted after him. 

With a heave, the ball tumbled over and following a brief wobble, came to a stop. Jack stood upright and stretched out his back. He was clearly getting to old for this. Still, while he was able to enjoy the little things in life, he would make every effort to. The lightly piled flakes crumpled and compressed underfoot as he approached the ball again - which was now approaching thigh-height - and began to rock it back and forth until the motion urged it forward once more. The snow once again groaned and flattened underneath it, collecting on the underside and building on the overall mass of the ball. He made sure to pat down the sides to ensure it remained somewhat spherical, while forcing the air out of the handfuls he added so as to retain structural strength as the ball grew in size.

He had gone relatively unnoticed in the streets, wrapped in a scarf and hat, collars pulled up high, however the snow-boulder would likely go unnoticed for much longer. He was hoping to get it roughly waist-high, then park it by the the market and build another ball for the body.

He wheezed as the ball reluctantly progressed towards the clearing once more. He may have bitten off more than he could chew.

Having run out of people to throw projectiles at, she went to the table and grabbed two hot chocolates before heading over to where JackMezzo was working on what she hoped was a cock and ball sculpture, but knew that was more of Dino 's area of activity, more so than her boss. Walking up to him she held out one of the steaming mugs, "Careful, its got a bit of a kick to it." She told him with a smile, "Didn't expect to actually see you stop and enjoy the weather." she added before taking a sip of the beverage that was more bourbon than chocolate, which she didn't mind. 

Jack took the mug and was immediately grateful for the warmth it brought to his numbing fingers. He muttered a, "thanks, Frances," and wasted no time taking a swing from the mug.

"You forget that when you're younger, these things probably looked bigger because you were smaller. Trying to replicate that size as an adult is a little ambitious."

He let the drink warm his insides once more while sitting back against his creation.

"I grew up in this weather, my friend, and remain as excited by it then as I am today. Now help me get this wretched thing over to the market before I pull something..."
