FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Round 3 not_the_irs December 9 2011, 08:18:23 UTC
There aren't an awful lot of Auditors left by now.

Of course, there's not a lot of island left, either.

Still, this would be the time to defend the school walls and then start running back to the school. Guess some of you will be staying on campus tonight...

Once people started running to the safety of the school, Gwynn positioned herself flat along the top of the wall and did her best to lay cover for the retreating Fandomites.

The brilliance of this plan was that Eve was next to her, lighting the arrows on fire before Gwynn let them fly.

The Ranger and The Witch should be friends ... one girl likes to shoot a bow, the other likes to create a bomb but that's no reason why they can't be friends...

Ahem, narration. Stop that.

Tim could have been all manly and heroic and gone out on the front lines. He could have done a fair bit of good there. He might even have escaped the Nothing when the forcefield failed.

But the fact of the matter was he had no intention of leaving Gwynn's side for the foreseeable future. Well except maybe to go to the bathroom.

But he was right there with her, covering the retreat of the Fandomites, blasting an Auditor there, throwing up a shield of his own there.

Gwynn was relieved that she had the two closest people in her life right next to her right now. She continued to fire burning arrows and anything else that would fit into her bow.

If she had the breath to say anything, she would have told Tim that she loved him, but she was trying hard to focus on protecting the people that belonged here that were running to the school.

Surreal had had enough of this. She was not going to get eaten today by... whatever that thing is.

Her knives were vanished along with her bag as the sight-sheild around her Green dropped - to save power - and Surreal drew on her craft to air-run in a direct line back to the school, bypassing roads, gravity, trees, and anything else that might slow her down.

Right, okay, so Claudia's Tesla was out of juice and her grenade was kind of a one off sort of weapon. Oh, and most of the island had disappeared.

Which would be why she was now booking it back to the dorms. Other people could totally handle those other creeps, right?

With Scully right behind her, laying down cover fire until she heard the click click click of her weapon as the last bullet ran out.

Then she scrambled away as fast as she could.

The thing about firing until you run out of ammo is that unless you've got the time and the presence of mind to count each bullet as it goes, you only find out you've run out of ammo when you aim at something, pull the trigger, and nothing comes out.

Just nothing, not Nothing, but either way it still added up to Bo muttering crap and throwing the gun.

Mr. Aquamarine was still only learning about his instinct to duck, and so... he didn't.

"I feel pain in my jaw!" he said, highly offended by this, not that he knew he was. "I feel the need for retribution!"

And so there was an Auditor stalking With Purpose towards Bo.

Oh, good. This would go well. "Well, we're even, because I feel pain in my ass, and it's you!" Because bravado would protect her where an empty gun had failed. Yes.

Good going, Bo. Now you confused him. "I am nowhere near a small donkey in your possession, nor do I cause it even minimal discomfort!"

Unless he'd made it disappear. He'd disappeared so many things over the past couple days he found he could not keep them straight.

At any rate, he found that he was not even sure what he meant to be doing, except that he felt anger and wanted to retaliate for it. He outstretched his arms, like he might possibly try to take her by the shoulders, or possibly choke her, if the opportunity presented itself.

He should have just picked up the empty gun, he decided.

Someplace to back away to would've been nice. Like... anyplace not a stone wall. Recoil was a bitch, but Bo could've chosen something better to brace herself against.

"You're newly human and strangely literal, which would be kind of cute if you weren't trying to aww, hell, screw it."

With nowhere to go, if he could zap her, she was zapped, and if he couldn't, Bo might as well use the one weapon she couldn't lose if she tried. She reached for his shoulders to yank his face down to meet hers.

Mr. Aquamarine felt frustration at not being able to zap her as he should... and also that he did not quite know what to do with his face. What was the need for this proximity? Could it even be called proximity at this point? This was highly illogical. Why was he not moving?

He had many, many questions right now, yet did not vocalize any of them. Curious.

Would it give him less internal conflict if he couldn't vocalize because his lips were otherwise engaged?

What about otherwise engaged by a succubus with the suck dialed up to eleven? If these things could be hit now, if they were acting something like humans, she might as well try. Sex chi or no sex chi, it was one hell of a kiss; if Bo was going out, she was going out with a bang.

Bo was not going out. Unfortunately for Mr. Aquamarine, he had to really concentrate to disappear someone, and that was not possible at the moment. Imagine that.

Though, er, it was probably a hell of a kiss on her end more than his, since he didn't understand quite how the lips were supposed to work in this capacity. Sorry. He was new.

Then he regained enough sense after the shock to push away from her, and his head promptly exploded into dust. So rather, he went out with a bang.

Still a better kisser than Jake's fish would've been, Bo thought, but only just.

And then she wasn't thinking about fish, because she was staring at the place where a head used to be. For ... a while. Not long enough to let any of his friends approach, but... a while.

"Not the way it usually goes, but I'll take it," she finally muttered a little weakly. Then grimaced, and wiped powder from her tongue. Ew. Auditor dust.

It tasted like square roots and chalk.
