In Fandom Town Down to the Gates of Fandom High, Friday Afternoon

Dec 09, 2011 09:09

Now firmly under the control of Mr. White, the Auditors were becoming a little... more coordinated. They had found some of their powers failing that morning, which was terrifying, but then Mr. White had given them that look and they had given in to their bodies' apprehensiveness and scurried off ( Read more... )

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Round 1 not_the_irs December 9 2011, 08:11:35 UTC

There are hundreds of grey-clothed men and women charging through town wielding everything from axes to brooms to pitchforks.

This is not a good thing.

Wyatt was more than ready for a fight. He summoned Excalibur and waded in to the fray, intent on beheading or bifurcating as many of the auditors as he could.

Isabel had a bag over her shoulder loaded with pudding filled balloons. She found a spot where her back was to the wall and proceeded to use TK to fling balloons at the face of any Auditor she could see.

"How's that for some figgy pudding?" she muttered as one by one auditors started to disintegrate. The disruption of her carefully organized Christmas schedule was just one of the issues Isabel was going to work through today.

If her position just happened to be where she could keep an eye on Wyatt? Well someone had to make sure he didn't do anything dumb.

Arthur was ready. He'd even acquired another sword, though as the Auditors advanced, he was really wishing he'd gone and got a gun instead.

The Forcefield Fails! not_the_irs December 9 2011, 08:13:58 UTC

The forcefield had managed to stay stable-ish for the past more-than-24-hours, but now it was fizzling again. In the few seconds that it blinked, a good chunk of town vanished into the Nothing, right down to the Devil's Nest and Pizza Planet, taking away everything up to Black Swan Drive and Mallard Way and carving the park in two.

Whoops.

Re: The Forcefield Fails! doubleohblonde December 9 2011, 08:45:48 UTC

Sadly, the House of Ill-Repute was on the wrong side of the fallen force field.

As was Bond and his pretty pretty shirtlessness.

Woe.

Re: The Forcefield Fails! spiritandsword December 9 2011, 12:54:55 UTC

The Lighthouse and Cottage never stood a chance.

Nor did Annja who was the only one in the Cottage packing up more weapons when the Nothing hit the area.

Re: The Forcefield Fails! cantgetnorelief December 9 2011, 14:03:33 UTC

It was afternoon by the time Anders woke up, and when he did he mostly wished he had gotten vanished, because how the hell much had he drunk last night during that gremlin bite?!?

It was just his poor dumb luck that he was still hung over enough to not be paying any attention when the force field failed, just shuffling slowly down toward the Perk for a badly-needed coffee so he could get his head together enough to get in on the fighting.

He didn't notice when the force field blinked, which meant he didn't have time to be glad that at least he hadn't gotten stuck in a shelf in Special Collections this time.

. . . he might have been humming "All Along the Watchtower" when he blinked out, though.

You could run away from the failing forcefield.

Or you could charge right back at the couple-hundred Auditors still left, looking more ticked off and manic by the second.

This is where Hercules made his stand. He'd originally brought a squirt-gun filled with sugar-water in attempts to attack his foes through taste. However, when he realized that he could fight them like any other foe without fear of instantly disappearing, he threw his toy away and cracked his knuckles.

"This is for Amadeus!" he said, striking an Auditor right in the bridge of the nose. He spun around and punched another right in the mouth. "For Bobby!" Another punch. "For Rhea!"

And he'd carry on punching them, shouting the names of his friends and comrades. Just like he'd promised he would.

Re: FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Round 2 steel_not_glass December 10 2011, 03:27:05 UTC

At some point, Cindy ended up fighting next to Hercules in the fray. "You know," she said, sounding amused even as she coolly aimed and shot an Auditor in the face, "shooting is also very effective."

Today anyway.

Re: FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Round 2 olympian_herc December 10 2011, 03:36:35 UTC

"I wasn't going for effective," Hercules quipped, cracking another Auditor right between the eyes. "For Ant-Man!" he shouted as further punctuation.

"I was going for satisfying."

The Forcefield Fails Again! not_the_irs December 9 2011, 08:16:32 UTC

The field had failed to stabilise after its earlier collapse, and now it was crashing again, the Nothing ripping through what remained of Town and being held, but barely, at Loon Drive, right in front of the school walls.

Hopefully some of you had had the presence of mind to run away earlier, or maybe help your town-based compatriots out of their newly-minted death traps.

Re: The Forcefield Fails Again! olympian_herc December 9 2011, 13:26:24 UTC

Hercules went down swinging, literally.

"This is for... that eye-laser guy!" he shouted, having run out of Avengers and Champions and now was having trouble remember the names of Warren and Bobby's X-Compatriots. His knuckles were bruised and bloodied, his own face and back showing the blows he'd taken from his vicious enemies in the form more bruises, and more bleeding cuts and gouges. He was running on pure adrenaline, but he would not give up this fight.

"And card-throwy man!" He delivered his final punch. "And--"

That's when the field crashed again, and the Lion of Olympus never was.

Re: The Forcefield Fails Again! old_and_busted December 9 2011, 14:14:31 UTC

K stood at the entrance of the post office, his big ass gun set to defend the premises.

He turned and looked back at his fellow postal workers. Most were staring across the street where the force field held the nothing at bay.

"Gentlemen," K said addressing his crew. "We have worked together side-by-side in the last few months. We've dealt with rain, sleet and snow during our daily rounds. Today I can tell you that we most likely will not hold this station. However being a duly appointed US Postal Inspector, I do not intend to abandon my post. If you have to ability to leave now, you may do so without judgement."

The postal workers looked at each other, nodded and went to their stations.

K cracked a grin.

"Gentlemen? It's been a pleasure."

And with that said, the forcefield failed and overtook the post office.

Zayne had just sliced off the knife-hand of an Auditor and Force Jumped over the school walls when the force field fell again. Once again, he just barely missed being whisked away into the Nothing.

He landed on his butt and sighed deeply. Way too close. Way too many times.

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...

Re: FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Round 3 notafairmaiden December 9 2011, 15:19:28 UTC

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.

[[OOC: Eve modded with permission. Butchering of show tune lyrics not so much.]]

Re: FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Round 3 grand_fallguy December 10 2011, 00:33:30 UTC

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.

Re: FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Round 3 notafairmaiden December 10 2011, 01:24:45 UTC

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.
