Why was Adah even up right now, and not even in the sense of being awake, but out of bed, in a coat, limping out the front door of the dorms? Consider it her body preparing itself for the weekend; she was also leaning toward blaming the snow itself in general. One of these days, she might reconnect with the idea of snow existing, but she discovered that today was not one of those days, blinking in the brightness that it gave the world, wincing slightly at the screaming white, and mostly just staring as she hung back close to the building to watch the large flakes drifting down and the collection of people, like chaos, disrupting the muted beauty.
Ino looked down at her latest snowball and then at Adah. Should she? With a shrug, Ino lobbed it at Adah, but gentler than she'd been hitting some of the other people.
Adah's attention was diverted from the intriguing way that the sky seemed to match the flakes dropping down from it, like it was slowly decaying away, little flecks of remains, shards, like perfectly crystallized little pieces of pencil sharpening shavings, when she felt something hit her shoulder. There was a slight jump in her skin of surprise as her eyes drifted toward where she'd been hit. Ashes of the snowball clung to the wool of her jacket, and she idly took a second to brush it off before considering the angle in which the snowball had hit her, to follow the assumed line of projectory toward finding the culprit, the fiendish, remorseless soul who threw snow at crippled people.
Ino's laughter was probably a good clue, as she played with the snow. And hey, it wasn't like she'd flung the snowball hard enough to knock her over or anything! She considered tossing another at her.
Hoshi was looking around in total amazement. Yes, they had snow in the future. She'd just never had the chance to actually see it up close before. And she was definitely leaving herself open to any snowball attacks.
The snowball hit her at the back of the neck and some of the snow ended up going down her shirt. "Eep, that's cold!" squealed Hoshi. There was only one thing to do. She picked up some snow, shaped it into a ball, and threw it right back at Ino.

"Puppy!" She greeted cheerfully, "Aren't you adorable?"
