Ahh, yes. It looks as if the birds finally continued on their way and in their wake the cheerful villagers are all out once more to enjoy the winter season. It's a good thing the birds have cleared the air entirely because it appears that with these long, dark winter nights the 'villagers' have taken to large and lovely firework displays that are wowing folks for miles around. What might also wow them are how many of these fireworks are aimed at street level. Erm... I think that one is pointed at you.

A Toss a bucket of water - Better extinguish them fast before anyone gets hurt. Especially you!
B Duck behind a snow fort - They can't hit what they can't see! Take cover!!
C Dodge them in slow-mo - Whoosh! The trick is keeping your focus and waving your arms like a hummingbird!


Oh no! Not today! You quickly grab a bucket of water and sling the contents out toward the offending pyro-techician in time to... get his boots wet. With a wicked grin on his face he takes aim but you only just manage to throw yourself into some snow covered bushes before the real volleys start blasting all around you! You'll probably be still for a while... enjoy the light show!


Whoa! Those bottle rockets look like no joke! You high-tail it to the nearest somewhat dependable source of cover and dive inside just as the first blast heads your way. What you didn't bank on was a huge patch of ice waiting for you on the other side of the snow fort wall which will cause you to slide on your belly like a pingu quite a ways from where you originally 'landed'. At that distance it seems safe enough to quickly root for some gifts!


You've been at the top of your game this entire festival and now as we're inching ever closer to it's close you pull out all of the stops! As the rockets and whiz-bangers blast toward you, you lean back and dodge them as if you're in a slow-motion sequence-- I mean someone ought to be filming this!-- Of course what everyone else doesn't know is your boots are stuck deep in the snow and you're just trying to keep from falling backwards but the villagers are so impressed by your sweet moves they decide to stop firing at you.
