Our Lady of Fandom, Saturday morning
The singing was making him crazy, and it never stopped. Didn't the creatures ever sleep? Gabriel had tried shouting, waving his arms, more shouting, throwing things and glaring, but the flying blue hedgehogs had seemed completely oblivious to his existence. He had finally just lay down on his bed, covered his ears with his hands and tried to use the same tactic towards them. It hadn't quite worked.
Suddenly the doors slammed open, and the sound of people moving could be heard. The singing immediately changed into a strange, screeching theme, and hoarse voices called out in a guttural language. Gabriel sat up and looked around. Halfway down the aisle stood a group of what could best be described as goblins, who pointed at the flying blue hedgehogs and waved enthusiastically. One of them was wearing an odd spikey hat and another carried a staff and a big heavy-looking book. Gabriel blinked.
All of a sudden the four goblins brought out what looked like large butterfly nets and began to wave them about, trying to catch the now clearly worried hedgehogs. While Gabriel was relieved to be rid of the things, he did not approve of strangers just entering his church and catching them without asking. "Hey!" he called out, approaching the group. "What do you think you're doing?"
The goblin in the spikey hat turned and gave him an odd look, then shouted something in their strange language.
"Look, just take the hedgehogs, I hope they're yours, but I expect a 'thanks for looking after them for us'." Gabriel glared threateningly.
Another one of the goblins pulled out a gun and fired, and Gabriel suddenly found himself engulfed in sticky goo. He couldn't move, but he screamed curses at the intruders who proceeded to completely ignore him. Soon most of the hedgehogs were stuck in the nets, and the goblins headed out through the doors, leaving Gabriel behind, still stuck to the floor unable to move.
"Hey! Get me out of this!" he called after them, but they paid no attention.
