3rd Floor Stairwell [Saturday, Late Morning]

[pastmewrong]

Wasn't every morning you Effy was woken by the sound of things getting kicked and thrown around. Not lately, anyway. So when she was today, it was pretty obvious there would be no extra long lie-in for her. Even if it hadn't jerked her awake, she'd have gone to investigate. It was just the way she was.

Dinah was hurrying up to check the stairwells and Common Rooms, hopefully leaving notes that the little monsters couldn't read everywhere (INVASION TIMES NAO! THEY MULTIPLY WHEN WET. KEEP THE FAUCETS OFF) and tell anyone she saw what was up.

Sword in hand, she stopped when she saw Effy. "Hey, you okay? Are there more up there?"

Well, someone was obviously better prepared than her, carrying around a sword today. There was a brief look of surprise crossed her face at that alone.

Effy nodded, still half in shock and leaning against the wall, and gestured to the her plate-hurling attacker. "Heard some in the common room," she added. "I think."

Dinah got between Effy and the gremlin, and poked at it with her sword. It jack-knifed to its feet and hissed. "Sneaky bastard. And crap. They're everywhere." She risked another glance at Effy's face, noting the bleeding anew. "You should get someone in the lobby to fix that. There's a few people there, getting supplies and med stuff ready."

The monster took that moment to leap at Dinah and she swing instinctively, going for the stomach.

It wasn't even jumping at her and Effy still tried to dodge out the way. Unless she had to, Effy would rather dodge and run than bust out a sword like Dinah.

"Jesus, fuck," she exclaimed. Those things were faster than you thought they'd be.
