Hat Shore finale: attack of the Canadian Weasley bear

[ugly_old_hat]

The dome was supposed to be indestructable. Hat magic trumped almost every power known to man or god, here on the Hat's turf.

Yet there was a creature the Hat was known to fear.

The Canadian Weasley bear.

(( There is a tear in the side of the dome. The bear is continually enlarging the hole. It can be attacked through this gap. If allowed to proceed for long enough, the bear can be written as entering the dome entirely.

The bear can be written into your tags as reacting to your attacks, making counterattacks, whatever you like as long as the basic idea of 'this is a terrorbear' doesn't get changed, i.e., don't suddenly have it start singing showtunes and handing out plates of cake.

Dropbears and tree octopi have been within the dome for some time now ever since Yoda Boot Camp. They're sort of like vermin, but arguably cuter, and/or squishier.

Your tags don't have to begin with a number unless they're tags that contain an attack on the Weasley Bear. Characters can discuss or collaborate on tactics before launching attacks if they so choose. ))

Turlough was the first one to see the Canadian Weasley Bear-and the spiders it was producing.

"To borrow a phrase from the Earthlings, THIS IS BULLSHIT!" Turlough did the first thing he thought of, ran to the house and yelled to all the other residents that the dome was under attack. He then ran to the kitchen to get something to defend himself.

George had been the first one to get to the bear...and he promptly screamed like a girl.

"SPIDERS!" he shrieked, and climbed up a tree, hoping to avoid them.

This place sure has some...things in it. The mun is not quite sure just what adjective to use in this sentence that would not be overly obvious or still remain within the realms of a PG thread, so we'll leave it at that. Flying mammal excrement and blessed fornication might play a role in those adjectives, though.

Maddie, though, is at her wits end. While climbing a tree isn't usually her first course of action, it seems like a good one, for now, and she follows George.

Then a thought occurs to her. "Spiders can climb!"

(( Something like an air-raid siren is going off in various points throughout the castle.

Live coverage of the Canadian Weasley Bear attack is being broadcast in the Great Hall.

The front gates are barricaded and guarded by taser-toting house elves.

An assortment of pumpkin tarts, pumpkin confections, and pumpkin juice are being served in the Great Hall throughout. ))

Ofdensen was working on Dethklok-related business when the alarm sounded. He looked up and looked at the television.

He raised an eyebrow at the Canadian Weasley Bear.

"Hmph. Amateurs."

Nevertheless, he got up to make sure none of the boys were misguided enough to try to leave.

The sirens were positively earsplitting to Joachim's heightened sense of hearing, and although covering his pointed ears only afforded some relief, at least it was something. He grimaced up at the television sets from his seat at one of the tables in the Great Hall, more than half tempted to send his enchanted swords-there were several presently levitating through the rafters, by way of telekinesis-through the screens out of sheer spite

Jaime Lannister had been abed when a shrieking alarm sounded, rousing him from his slumber. Shortly after the alarm began, while Jaime was still tugging his breeches on (one-handed, this would never truly be easy), a house elf came rushing in with demands from the Sorting Hat.

He was to attire himself in his motley Hatsguard cloak and take up guard outside the Hat's chamber door, to defend against imminent danger from something called a Canadian Weasley bear.

Muttering choice curses, Jaime did as he was commanded. It wasn't the first time he'd served a mad monarch. He didn't bother strapping his golden hand to the stump of his arm: the Hatsguard getup was horrible enough without adding what the Hat playfully called his blinghand.

A TINY NINJA APPEARS.

((Handtheft approved!))Arya had been passing near Slytherin when the alarm sounded, and the sudden noise nearly sent her into a panic. She calmed somewhat upon seeing no immediate source to it, and no imminent threat, and was about to turn down a hallway when she saw the Kingslayer leaving Slytherin. In a bizarre cloak, and without his golden hand, no less. She glared after him balefully

Dialga was outside when the alarm sounded. Namely, he had been in the Forbidden Forest, napping, when it went off, causing him to shoot up and stick his head out.

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS DISTURBANCE?"
