// new headcanon maru SUCKS with any type of gun. like comically bad like physics breaking bad

He watches him quietly as he tries to roll the ball. Is that how you do it? He has no idea. He tried that earlier but maybe he just did it wrong.

:P

He kinda just starts making a ball of snow.

'' Dude I don't think this is working. Like I think we are gonna have to actually roll a ball this time. ''

He genuinely has no idea how to though, because he tried earlier and it was a colossal failure.

He stares at the base for a bit. It is.... Round, I guess?? It seems stable but definitely not good. It's kind of weirdly flat at the top, looking like a weird fucked up oval.

'' ... ''

'' Suuuure ?? ? ''

It hits him in the nose. He sticks out his tongue at him playfully before started to roll up more snow into the base.

'' Fiiiiiine, I guess that's fair. ''

>:P

'' That is sooooo evil! Making the snowmall was a truce, S-M-H. ''

He crosses his arms and looks away, though his general tone and stupid overexxagerated pose makes it very obvious he's just being silly.

Also the barely-contained giggle after the fact probably helps.

He hums a bit as he very carefully builds up the base, then falls back in the snow as the snowball hits him oh god.

... He sorta lays there for a few seconds. Blinks a few times. All that. Before abruptly sitting up and throwing a handful of unshaped snow at him.

'' Heeey!! ''

He sits down.

'' No clue.
I think we need to build a really good base first. ''

And so he starts grabbing handfuls of snow and slamming them into the base.

'' Cool! ''

Annnnd he just starts walking back to the pile again. This guy has no real sense of manners I think.

'' ... ''

He briefly looks back to the ball of snow, then back at Mako.

'' ... Dooooo you wanna try? It's okay, I am also pretty bad and new at it, lol. ''

Don't say lol outloud.

'' Aww, shucks.

... guess you don't wanna build that snowman with me? ''

I am very much alive, and I intend to stay that way!

If you're counting the days until you- retire?
DREAM BIGGER, YOU SAD SACK! THERE'S MORE TO LIFE THAN PENSION PLANS!

Then how pathetic are you if you can’t best me at my worst!

So God, take the steering wheel! Drive me to Fate and we'll finally sit down and have a chat.

i would like to think that even if i was sad and scared, if i was put in a position where everyone depended on me, i could put all those feelings aside and do whats right!

'' Where's the baby, huh? ''
'' Right there infront of me! ''

Oh wow, hey, someone's still alive~!! Good for you!
Fortunately, that is going to change soon.

LOVE IS LOVE. WHAT'S ABOVE CAN BLOODY SHOVE IT!

THIS ISN'T A DREAM AND I'M NOT WAKING UP!

THE MISFORTUNE OF OTHERS TASTE SWEET LIKE HONEY
I AM SURELY GOING TO HELL FOR THAT.

SO FAST AND I'M NOT SCARED TO CRASH!

'' That's nowhere near as fun. ''

A careless shrug-- Upon closer inspection he is wearing a crop top and his jacket is, like, halfway down his arms. What the hell.

'' Aw, what, it's just a bit of snow. ''

Casually kicking some snow off to the side with a little hum. He is built too different.

'' You goin' soft on me, Blight? ''
'' In your dreams. ''

'' I don't like telling people what to do. ''
'' You should. It's amazing. ''

I argue that we choose to be good because of our bonds with other people and our innate desire to treat them with dignity. Simply put, we are not in this alone.

I’ll take a leap of faith because it’s okay.

'' To get your attention, silly! Why else? ''

He got up and adjusted his scarf a bit before taking a few quick but ever so slightly clumsy steps towards him. The snow was a bit too deep for his liking.

'' It's been a bit!!! How's it going? ''

There is a guy, crouched on the ground next to kind of a shitty looking pile of snow that MIGHT be an attempt at a snowman?? He gives him a big dumb wave.

'' Hi!!! Long time no see! ''

TOO BAD ASH KETCHUM HIS NAME IS TOBIAS SHEDLETSKY AND HE'S HUNGRY FOR BATTLE-- Anyways jokes aside Mako gets a snowball thrown right at his head.
