The Roof, late Wednesday afternoon

[defeats_buses]

"Ah-hah! You vile flying beast! I shall dispatch you and your friends to the nether regions of this world where you may cease to--" An egg plopped on his head.

"Oooh! You nasty villainous creature!" He wacked one harpy to the ground with his wooden sword. "Take that you worthless piece of--" Claws dug into his right puffy-sleeved arm.

"Ahhh, foul

Romeo went to the weapons locker for his gun after class, then climbed up to the roof.

When he spotted Edward, he went and took a nearby post. His hand was only shaking a little as he took his first shot at a harpy, wounding it in the thigh. It started shrieking abuse at him, and he went to finish the job as he turned to Edward. "Have you been at this long?"

[defeats_buses]

"Greetings!" he beamed, despite his current situation with the stabbing and poking. "I believe I have, though I have not kept count of the many I've dispatched!"

[withoutverona]

"I don't think I'd want to go at them with a sword," Romeo claimed, neatly shooting another harpy through the forehead. "It's a bit close, and I would hate to have to look at them so. You look comfortable with it, though."

[defeats_buses]

"Ah-hah! A sword is my weapon of choice, but I admire your skill with the pistol!" He struck a post and stabbed one in the wing, twirled it, and sent it flying over the edge of the roof.

After class, She-Ra and Swifty had flown a circuit over the island, attempting to warn the harpy away with insults and shiny swords. When that had failed to dissuade them from flinging goo at her, she'd headed back to the dorms in hope of protecting those who needed it.

Spotting people on the roof, she cried out, "Down Swift Wind!" and proceeded to land her magnificent winged unicorn. "Could you use some assistance, friend?"

[defeats_buses]

"Greeti--" Prince Edward nearly swallowed his own tongue when he spied the magnificent woman and the creature she rode upon.

"I... yes! If you'd like!"

[fabulous_secret]

"It's both my duty and my pleasure," She-Ra assured him, dismounting in a flash to join him. "The skies are full of Hunga's minions this afternoon, and yet I've seen no sign of her or her evil magic."

[defeats_buses]

He gave her an odd look that had nothing to do with how beautiful she was. "Hunga's minions? But these creatures are the work of Queen Narissa's evil plan to thwart me and my plan to marry!" A beat. "When I had a plan, that is."

Yeah, like Firekeeper was going to let the opportunity to fight something go by. Well, once she'd determined that the bird-creatures weren't maimalodalu, in any case. Which is why there were a couple of wolves up on the roof, one snapping and snarling, and the other slashing out with a hunting dagger.

"I not think these creatures make good supper," she commented to Edward. And really, raised in the wild as she was, she was hardly picky about her food. But these things... ew.

[defeats_buses]

"The peasants might like them!" he replied, looking over. "Greetings to you and your wolves! I daresay they fight well!"

[kestrelswolf]

She wasn't going to get into the usual argument over the fact that she was a wolf despite her shape- mostly because a harpy chose that exact moment to attempt to divebomb her. She leapt at it with a snarl, managing to slash a wing with her Fang.

"They will need many spices to cover the stench, then."

[defeats_buses]

His eyes went wide. "My lady, what is that weapon you use?" He swiped at an evil creature even as he stepped towards her, curious.

Jack scrambled up onto the roof, slingshot in hand, and a bucket of ice cubes stolen from one of the common rooms.

What? He was running low on marbles, and these things hurt like the dickens. "Hyeeaaah!" he shouted.

[defeats_buses]

Prince Edward looked over at the man. "Greetings peasant! Are you here for your dinner?"

[inthereflexes]

"Greetings, peasant! I'm here to send these things packing!" he declared, targeting one with the slingshot.

Oooh. It hit a harpy in the wing. That was a particularly satisfying sound.

[defeats_buses]

"I am hardly a peasant, peasant! I am Prince Edward of Andalasia! Ah-hah!"
