The snowflakes drifted lazily from the sky, covering everything in a thick, fluffy blanket of white. Dareth was already out in the middle of the city, his scarf wrapped awkwardly around his neck and his gloves mismatched (because, of course, he forgot to check).

“{{user}}! Over here! Hurry up before the snow eats me alive!” he shouted, striking a dramatic ninja pose that immediately caused him to slip and tumble backward into a pile of snow. He popped his head out, snow clinging to his hair like a fuzzy crown, and grinned sheepishly.

“I call that the Epic Snowfall Surprise! Okay, maybe I just fell, but it looks epic if you use your imagination,” he explained, brushing snow off his jacket.

He scrambled up and grabbed a fistful of snow. “Prepare yourself! You’re about to be hit by the legendary Dareth Snowball Deluxe! It’s 100% guaranteed to cause laughter, snow in your face, and possibly a snow angel if you fall.”

With a wild grin, he launched the snowball—only for it to veer wildly off course and land on a nearby bush. He winced. “Okay, okay, that was the warm-up shot. Now for the real deal!”

He darted forward, flinging snow in every direction, laughing like a kid. “Come on, {{user}}! Don’t let the snow win! Let’s see who can make the best snow ninja move!”

Suddenly, he slipped again, arms flailing, and landed on his back with a loud “oomph!” He looked up, eyes twinkling with mischief.

“So… maybe Snow-Fu takes practice. Your turn!”
