[Raven is sitting in a tree outside house 12, bow in hand. Around his neck is a very warm looking scarf, given to him by Miyabi. Despite the fact he's complaining, it doesn't seem as though he actually cares, he's just doing it because he can. OOC: Also all other threads would take place before Yuri and Vash.]

I'm startin' ta feel real sorry for all those new feathers, showin' up in weather like this. Ya must be absolutely insane if ya think this snow is fun, or even pretty! I hate snow, snowmen, snowballs, snowstorms, igloos, icicles, ice cubes, ice cream, all of it! Urgh...

Please tell me it's gonna start gettin' warmer soon. I don't know how much more of the cold this old man can take.

Vash old pal? I take it all that noise over the journal would mean yer back to normal! How'd ya feel about meetin' me fer a drink at the bar tonight? I got the feelin' I'm gonna need a really hard drink later on.

[Filtered to Yuri | 99% unhackable]

Hey, Yuri! I've got an arrow with yer name on it! [He holds up an arrow to the camera, it has Yuri's name crudely written on it, followed by a little patronizing heart.] I'm gonna shoot it at your face! Hah!

You might want to try rewriting it. I can barely read that chicken-scratch of yours.

[He's getting his equipment together, though.]

I'm not gonna put effort into it, not when it's just gotta get covered in blood anyway.

So, where'd ya wanna do this?

Yeah, I'm back to normal... I ran into you too as a kid? [The memories are a bit hazy for him right now.]

Briefly! Don't worry about it too much though, you were kinda cute! Wanna meet around tennish?

That's some wishful thinking you've got going on there.

[Where? Huh. Considering Raven would be shooting arrows and possibly spells around, it'd probably be best to keep it away from the house itself. Also, the river -- as funny as it was to watch Raven fall in the river the last time he sparred with him way back when, it wouldn't be quite as much with the whole ... well. Winter-thing going on. So--]

... Anyway, we might as well head to the barracks for this. [Footing would be better, less chance of hitting some poor bastard passing by by accident ... Yeah.]

[Vash thinks on it for a moment. He really should be out looking for Meryl, but it will be dark by then. Not to mention he's already out looking.] Sure, I can meet you then. [It won't help if he gets himself sick looking after all.]

Sounds good! Try not ta be late, ok? Ya never were any good at keepin' the time.

[And off he runs to the barracks, he's looking forward to this. ~~Even though it never ends well.~~]

Great! There's not much else ya can do at night other than sleep anyway! I'll be waitin'!

[Behold the power of timeskips!]

[~~At least he tries~~ :( Anyway, he'll be at the barracks within about fifteen, twenty minutes or so. It's a long walk, and he had to get his stuff ready to start with.]

[~~That's like a five minute gap!~~ Raven is waiting at the barracks, sitting on top of one of the targets. And just to rub it in, he's wearing that hat you hate so much.]

Hey! Nice ta see ya show up!

[Yay! Time skip! ~~I skip time ten years into THE FUTURE!~~ Just a couple minutes pass ten. It took longer than he thought it would to talk himself into end the search for now and get out of the cold for a bit. His face is beat red, despite being buried in a scarf, but he smiles as he takes it off and waves when he spots you.] Hey there, sorry I'm a little late!

[~~OMG we'd be so old D:!~~ On the table in front of Raven is quite a wide variety of alcohol, oh yeah, he is gonna get wasted.]

Hooray! Hope yer ready, 'cause some of these drinks I've never even heard of!

[~~That hat can go to hell in the biggest of all handbaskets--~~ I mean what. He doesn't care much about the hat, bro, he just finds it annoying to fight in. Have fun messing up your own range-of-sight.

Anyway, Yuri shrugs, taking off his coat and throwing it to the side. ... It'd be awkward to spar in a winter coat, after all.]

Maybe if you gave me a little more warning, I'd have been here earlier.

[And now he's swinging his sword to let the sheath fly off and ... land on the coat ~~so he can actually find it later~~.]

[I didn't say he was fighting in it, he just wanted to look pimpin' when you showed up. Plus it also means he's been through your stuff again. Anyway, he puts it ontop of one of the training dummies and readies his bow.]

I did give ya warnin'! I told you I was gonna challenge ya!

[...There's no mistaking who that voice belonged to. He'll have to be careful how he writes.]

I don't think it will come soon enough for you, the way you're complaining.

[Oh geez that's right-- ... n-not going to let that distract him, though. He'll just ream him for it during the spar, that's all.]

I meant more warning than "let's do this now!", but whatever. [And he's already getting himself into position to start this whole thing. Not only because it's been a while since he sparred someone but also DAMMIT RAVEN STOP GOING THROUGH HIS STUFF oh boy are you going to get it this time D|]

[Hmm? Annoymous writing isn't something you see everyday.]

If it suddenly burst inta a heat wave tommorow, I'd be the happiest man alive!

[I saw some nasty things in your room man, some nasty things.]

But then there's no element of surprise! [He waves the named arrow around before quickly firing it towards Yuri.]

Sounds like an experiment. Why don't you try asking the Malnosso to give you one?

Ya must be new, the Malnosso don't work that way.

[Not anymore -- Estelle cleaned it and he hasn't really had the time to let it go to hell again :(

Regardless, he's not about to stand there and get hit, so he quickly dodges to the left, sending out an Azure Edge shortly afterward.]

If you wanted to surprise me, you shouldn't have told me about this to start with!

No, I didn't think so. Two days and counting.

[No I meant nasty things like your underwear, I never wanted to find your frilly lady panties.

Raven jumps back onto the target to avoid that. Readying another arrow.]

That ain't how duels work, kid.

[Excuse me sir, he wears boxers thank you D| ~~You're thinking of Flynn~~ Better ready it quick, cause he's charging forward in an attempt to close in.]

Then there's no point in even trying with surprises, is there?

I doubt anything can get much worse than arriving during a blizzard. If I recall right though, it starts warming up in March.
