[PYRO <3'S SNOWMAN THREAD GOES HURR.]

[doomhoops]

[ Alex will never admit it, but the trees being decorated and the lights are actually... kind of pleasant. Which is all, of course, ruined, not only by the fact his phone won't effing stop playing holiday tunes, but he's having to spend the time investigating the new decor with Jackass McDouchecanoe, Pyro. How he even ended up hanging out with him of all people is beyond Alex, though Kitty's presence, and their mutual dislike for said jackass, makes it bearable.

He's got hands stuffed in his pockets, because it's freaking cold, and no, he is not putting on gloves and most certainly not mittens, and idling kicking at the clumps of snow as he leisurely strolls with the other two X-babies. He's about to go turn down another street when he catches something out of the corner of his eye. ]

...Was that snowman there before?

[walkinthruwalls]

I've seen a couple of snowmen around. [ Rogue might have told her that Pyro was still John, and considering that he hadn't seemed to know that the Professor had died it told her that he was from the past but... she still didn't want to trust him. If Alex hadn't have been there - he was friendly enough, anyway - she certainly wouldn't have been. She might have promised to give Magneto a chance but Pyro was a little more recent than that, and he was still an ass ]

[decanonized]

[Said ass was aware of the mutual thought processes of hatred being directed at him from his 'roomie and friend' as they wandered, and just couldn't quite keep the smile off his face because of it. Even if the goddamn cellphone was about to make him kill someone in some strange hope the sacrifice would please it enough to shut up for five seconds, the knowledge others were annoyed more by the phone/him combo helped keep the urge at bay.

He turns slightly on his heel, pausing mid-step, as the snowman talk begins, then resumes walking towards the new found frosty, lighter clutched in hand.]

Ugly bastard.

[doomhoops]

[ TOSSING SHIT OFF ROOF THREAD GOES HERE. ]

[doomhoops]

[ It wasn't just a present or two that Pyro and Alex got. It was an entire damn bag. Full of useless crap. With tags addressed to each of them. Apparently someone around the X-House thought they were being clever. Spoilers: It was Abax.

See Alex turn to Pyro, lump of coal with his name on it in hand. ]

Seriously. You couldn't come up with anything better than coal? [ Because obviously this is your doing. ]

[decanonized]

Coal's fucking useful. Thought you'd like the feeling for a change.

[Because Pyro will accept any accusations of being smarter than Alex, even if he had nothing to do with it.]

[doomhoops]

Yeah? That why you packed one for you too?

[ Have a chunk of black, dusty charcoal plopped in your hand with your name etched into it, bro. ]

[ HARRY SAVES ALEX FROM GROSS PUBLIC HUMILIATION WITH HIS MAGIC SCISSORS ]

[doomhoops]

[ Somewhere on the remote end of the city Alex hadn't seen many venture to, Alex can be found in the back kitchen of one of the small, stylish cafes, steak knife out - hacking and sawing at his hideous new attachment. After a few minutes of sawing, he lets out an annoyed half-grunt, half-yell and tosses the useless knife to the floor, instead trying to physically rip the thing of, regardless of how he's already tried this and failed.

Eventually the violence of the movements in his attempt to escape escalate, and before he knows it, there's red, glowing plasma swirling around him and this cafe is about to be a smoldering pile of debris. Better duck, Harry. :'| ]

[hellsbellsharry]

[Harry had been walking. And scouting. And investigating the snowmen. It'd been an interesting day really and it'd taken him to a quiet uninhabited part of Abax he hadn't seen before.

He's heading past the small cafe when he feels it. A surge and rise in power and then BOOM. On instinct he ducks throwing up a shield as best as he could with his make do bracelet.]

[doomhoops]

[ After the smoke clears and the rubble stops falling, Alex glances around at the flames now flickering to life around him. There's a harshly whispered curse, and he looks down to check on the sweater. ]

...Seriously?

[ Yep, still there. Fuck. His. Life. ]

[doomhoops]

[ ALEX RESCUES CAPTAIN AMERICA, FUCK YEA ] Also, saying that this is after all of the above threads have occurred, so he knows about needing to yoink Steve up out of the snowman

[doomhoops]

[ After the incident with Pyro, the struggle with his sweater witnessed by Harry and awkward times spent with Alisha and mistletoe, Alex is making a quick retreat back to the X-House, bent on locking himself in a room until all of this nonsense clears up.

So see Alex power-walking through the city square, glancing around and over his shoulders, looking out for any devious plants, evil sweaters or creeping snowmen. ]

[backin_theworld]

[ Steve was walking towards him, still a far ways back when he heard the snow crunch behind him. Before he could even fully turn to see what it was..

FWOOOOOOOOOP

And then nothing. No Cap, no snowman, only a giant pile of snow that looked like it had just been plowed off the street. ]

[doomhoops]

[ The loud FWOOP surprised him and maybe Alex jumped just a little at it, but it registered pretty quickly what that noise was, given that he'd heard it just earlier when Pyro had gotten swallowed up by the snow. He glanced quickly around, scanning all the white area for a snowman with arms or legs sticking out of it, but there's just the... big mound of snow. Well, that looks promising.

Snow crunched under his feet as he jogged on over, warily approaching while he kept an eye out for any other snowmen that might have been sneaking up. Alex toed the snow-pile with a boot. ]

Uh... Hello? Someone in there?
