Jacob was trying to stay upright, the ground shaking heavily close to him and he tried to keep himself from falling down. WHAT WAS GOING ON?!? He found himself trying to make sure Madelyn was falling, helping her stay upright.

The pine trees near the glade crack and push aside, and a massive icey figure appears, looming over the party. Picture the scene, shot in breathless slow motion, as the Duchess shouts, "FROOOOOST GIIAAAAANTSSS" and turns, sprinting for cover. The champagne from her dropped glass spinning toward the ground, end over end in unnatural detail with the slowed frame rate, the roundness of her eyes, the O her blue-lipsticked mouth makes. And behind her, the giant slowly raises its arm, palm outward toward the party, and a volley of snowballs begins to fly from its hand, hammering into the decor. The punch bowl, erupting with juice as a snowball lands in its center, the cupcake tower showering the surrounding area with frosting, the guests diving for cover --

The boy ducked down, this was unexpected. Man, wait until his crush hears that he faced (hid from) Frost Giants! Surely she'd be impressed then! ...He thought so anyway.

He hadn't had good experiences with snow, however. Specifically a certain blizzard...but, another thing he wouldn't speak of.

Jacob made sure Madelyn made it to safety before going to the bathroom, what had been Jacob was now replaced by a Wolf. Jacob had exposed he was a werewolf but he didn't care the other's safety was at risk. He let out a loud howl, his black fur rising as he called upon his pack. He was unable to talk, but he would be stupid enough to try to attack the frost giants and save the others. He didn't care if he went down, he was going to either save the others or die trying....

Uses his tiny fire breath to try melt the snow before it can hit himself and grumbles when it fails

She slammed the drink down, it spilling over the sides as she did so and ran for cover towards a nearby table
Around her, the snowballs splatted and she finally dived down underneath it, shivering from either fear or cold

Madelyn is frozen to the spot for a hot moment, trying to allow her brain to calibrate to the unexpected situation. It's the Duchess' screaming and sudden dive for cover that makes her take a dive for a buffet table, frantically yelling at everyone to get to safety! She manages to sprint for two whole seconds before -- POW!!! -- she takes a snowball full on to the back of her head and topples down. She lands halfway across a chair and tries her absolute darndest to get back to her feet as another snowball explodes right at her feet. "WHY IS IT HEEEEEEEEEEEREEEEE????!!!"

"Uh oh! This is a situation." Mimi said, her tone surprisingly chipper. She ducked under a table, holding Mini Might protectively, then turned to peek out at the disasterous scene that was unfolding. It looked dangerous... Probably. But maybe things weren't as they seemed? Could just be a fun snowball fight, right?

Tabetha muttered an unintelligible curse under her breath and began to sprint for cover-

SMACK! Direct hit with a snowball.

Tabetha hit the ground, her hat flying away from her. She snarled and hissed, the sounds uncanny and unusual... and that's when her hood fell off, revealing two little curved horns crowning the top of her head.

The secret was out. Tabetha wasn't an elf at all.

The man crouched in front of "Barry," squinting up at the frost giant. Then, with a determined nod, he begins to roll up a snowball and hurls it at the giant in return.

Jacob looked around at the others, he didn't know what he could do this was his first time being attacked by frost giants. He started swiping the snowballs away from the others, trying to steer them away of course doing this required him to get only use one paw. Jacob looked over as a wolf looking at Tabetha. If he could call his sister things would change but his sister, a half demon half angel, had declined the party's invitation! He waited for the rest of his pack to show up, but he kept trying to divert the snowballs.

Crouched on the snowy ground, the skirts of her great ballgown pooling around her, the Duchess does her best to try and access the ground through all the fabric she's trapped in in order to roll some snowballs of her own. "It wants a snowball fight!" she shouts back to Madelyn, her war-games face full on.

The boy, who was affectionately named Barry, hid behind the handyman.

Mini Might smirks hearing snowball fight and rolls a tiny snowball and flies up and decides to drop it on the Duchess instead of the giant

Upon hearing the Duchesses words Jacob used his paw to swipe the snowballs back at the frost giant, he had a high body temp but he barely touched the snowballs making it easier to divert them back to the frostgiant.

Watching from under the table, Mimi instinctively popped back out to help those who had fallen, first setting Mini Might down in hopes he'd stay safely hidden. Not unexpectedly, she was pelted by snowballs herself, but still she grabbed Tabetha by the cloak in an attempt to help her up. When she caught sight of the horns atop the "elf"'s head, she was a bit surprised... But only a bit. She'd seen people with horns before. Including the literal Devil. This was nothing.

"Well, it would have been useful if it would have sent out a invitation!" she shouted sarcastically, still shivering. Living in warm waters did not help with this, at all.
She sighed and grabbed some snow, rolling it into a rough ball shape and threw it, aiming at the giants face

The only thing the boy could think of was the blizzard. He would always think of the blizzard when snow was around...
...The night he lost his dad...Well, sort of. Long story.

Sure, the frost giants only wanted a snowball fight, but the snow meant a lot more to the boy, in a much more, terrifying way.

Madelyn somehow manages to duck behind a table that had crashed over and provides a modicum of cover, catching her breath with her heart pounding. It.. it WHAT NOW? The snow was melting into her hair and ruining her curls, all because it wanted a snowball fight?! OH BRING IT ON!!!

With a soft growl and more determination that a sheep dog herding sheep, Madelyn gathers as much of the fallen snow as possible and quickly forms an armload of snowballs, using all of her well built strength to chuck them at the frost giant one after another in rapid succession. "EAT THIS!!!!!"

Jacob shivered, his black wolf form was changing back to a human he had been hit by a snowball thus taking him out of his wolf form he was laying on the ground weak.
