The Park, Wednesday Morning

Had it only been three days since his last mission? Because Jak was already feeling like jumping out of his skin again. In the end, he'd had to snag his Morph Gun out from the weapons locker and head out. If nothing else, it might be fun trying out the JET-board on the snow.

As it turned out, it was; the board hummed loudly under his feet, propelling him over a hill, then down a slope. He made a flip in the air, went for a 360 and grinded along a park bench.

It was more than a little pointless, but it was something to do.

[[ open! if sp-ish due to me being technically in a working environment ]]

Ino would totally call this a mid-morning coffee break if Cable-san asked (and, really, since she'd been at the shop since crazy early, Ino was going with the idea she was totally allowed) and since the line-up at the Perk had been way too long for her liking, she'd ducked out and headed to the park with the theory that the line-up might be better in fifteen-twenty minutes.

Oh--hey! Ino ducked behind a tree and contemplated her options. He did owe her a snowball fight, even if he'd, uh, done some changes or something over break... even if that board thing did make her a little leery, she didn't want to hurt him but he seemed to have it well in hand and it was only a bit of snow...

Enough thinking!

She scooped up a handful of snow, packing it enough that it'd make a good projectile and then leaned around her tree to time her throw so he wasn't (too) precarious looking with that board thing, took aim, and let fly with the snowball.

Mwahahaha!

Jak was just heading off on a nice, flat piece of land when the back of his head suddenly rocked forward. Something icycold spread down from his neck down into his tunic and further down. His feet slipped forward on the board, tilting it forwards, and it was only a few weeks of experience that got him... well.

As he jumped off the board to avoid falling, the board folded in on itself, fading back into a dull hunk of metal.

And that was about the point where he looked up. "Hey!"

Ino laughed, high and bright, as she darted from around her tree to another while scooping up more snow.

"You owe me a snowball fight!" she carolled. "I just took advantage of the situation!"

And flung another snowball in his direction.

This time, Jak had to throw up an arm to fend off the snow. It splattered off of his sleeve, soaking that, too. "Who are you again?!" he called, but at least now he knew to get with the moving out of the way.

"Don't you pay attention in class?" she called merrily. "It's Ino! Better remember it!"

Clearly he needed a snowball to help with that, yes.

At least now he knew it was coming, so he had fair warning to dart aside before it hit. "Are you going to keep doing that?!"

The next snowball probably answered that.

Ino peered around her cover and grinned at him. "You're supposed to throw snow back," she said helpfully. "Unless you're totally lame now?"

Jak shook his head, and snagged the JET-board off his back, tossing it to his feet and getting on in one fluid motion. "I don't have a lot of time for games."

Please to ignore the fact his jetboard did seem to be gathering a little bit of snow as it moved.

She eyed the board as he got on it and shrugged a bit--interesting toy, yes.

"Oh really?" Ino asked archly. "Looked a bit like you were playing a game before I showed."

"Training."

One word replies.

And gathering some more snow as he went for idle patterns in order to avoid any stray snowballs.

See, Ino could go hide up in a tree but really that would ruin all the fun so she stayed behind her tree (mostly) and eyed his movements.

"Ain't no law that says training can't be fun too, yo."

Of course she was going to try and nail him with a few more snowballs. That could count as training too.

Kind of, yeah. He got shot at enough that practicing his dodging wasn't exactly a bad thing.

After doing so a couple of times, Jak leaned forwards, tipping the jetboard into a forwards slide towards the tree. It was fast -- and as soon as he was near, he sommersaulted with it, sending a spray of snow into the general direction of the tree's canopy and everything below it.

He had no idea if that was going to work, but it was worth experimenting.

Ino yelped as she got showered with snow and stumbled away from the tree laughing.

"That's cheating!" she carolled, shaking snow from her hair and darting behind another tree. "And what is that?"

"What's what?" Jak asked, bending low and soaring past the tree towards the next.
