Wanna refresher anyone?
- THE PRELIMINARIES - for this part only, characters are randomly placed in teams.
- ROUND 1 - The top two characters from each team with the most votes progresses through as the victors. FINISHED!
- ROUND 2 - A repeat of Round 1, only this time, characters are placed in twelve groups of four, and the one character with the most votes progress through to the Instant Death round. FINISHED!
- INSTANT DEATH - where the real fun begins! Typically a series of knockout polls where the character with the most votes is killed off over a 24 hour period. Any tie breakers? Both characters die then >D
The remaining contenders had picked sides and were now warily watching each other rather than making war. Sirius and James, like Merlin and Arthur, were holed up under protective spells. Castiel still acted as an indestuctible wall for Dean and the Doctor. Adam was still flirting with an awkward Obama. Han, the only one not paired up, was wedged into a chink in the wall and warily watching for anyone not sane.
"We've got to get things moving," muttered Jessi.
"I say mud," said Elaine.
"Okay, mud." Jessi pulled a rope.
Mud began to rain from the ceiling - a light brown drizzle that rapidly became a downpour. The wizards immediately threw up barriers, protecting themselves from the initial onslaught. Castiel, being an angel, seemed largely immune to something as sundry as mud, but that offered no protection to the Doctor and Dean, who yelped at the unpleasant feeling of mud dripping into their clothes. Secret Service agents appeared out of seemingly nowhere, shielding the President from mud with giant black umbrellas as Adam clung to his chest.
"Mud. I hate mud," muttered Han. The trapped mud and water, with nowhere else to go, was rapidly beginning to flood the area. Merlin turned his attention to drying the mud surrounding him and Arthur as fast as possible.
"Drying charms!" ordered James, cottoning on to his idol's idea, and flames spat out of his and Sirius' wands.
And then a tentacle shot out of the water.
"OH MY GOD - "
"What the hell - "
Bullets (and in one case blaster bolts) flew, nailing the tentacle a dozen times before it fell.
"Why are you shooting the Giant Squid?" Sirius demanded in confusion.
Then something screamed and two more took its place.
"I don't think it's the squid we know, Padfoot."
"SHOOT IT!" Han yelled, immediately peppering the murky mudwater with bolts.
"What are you doing?!" demanded James.
"It's not friendly!" Han yelled back. "These things eat people - "
Suddenly Han was sucked under the water, with only a lonely 'blurp'.
Silence. Then:
"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? KEEP SHOOTING!" someone screamed as five more tentacles appeared.
