Around Fandom - All Day Saturday

Over the course of the evening, Fandom's population increased significantly. The prehistoric creatures that had first arrived last night were no longer alone. The newcomers inquisitively investigated their new surroundings.

Meanwhile, amidst the bits and pieces of school being reconstructed at the top of the hill, an oviraptor sniffed around. Smooth rocks that looked like eggs were left out for the taking. Cautiously, it snatched one of the rocks out of the pile. The creatures around the island screeched at the sudden pain the rock-snatcher had caused. The oviraptor dropped the mistaken egg-rock and ran away, but the damage was already done.

The sudden overwhelming pain hadn't been an isolated incident. It had triggered something inside each of the creatures' minds, aggravating them beyond normal behavior, doing what pheromone-laced leis did to snakes that one time on a plane. You know the one.

For the dinosaurs (and company), new surroundings had become hostile territory and its inhabitants were to be destroyed.

For the residents of Fandom, well, it was another one of those weekends.

[OOC: This post is for the big location fights at the Rocky Bits, Park, School Grounds, Preserve, Serenity Cove and Efferton Manor. Other dinosaurs not featured here will be pinging into posts all around the place. If you post, they will come (unless you put an OOC note to say 'no thanks', but public places need not apply). Dorms, Caritas and Clinic are safe havens. If you are in need of a dinosaur to fight, please use the OOC thread to post a link to where you are. We'll try to get to everyone, but some places may get missed!]

Sabriel took a step back. Those were some very big teeth. Very big. "Do you need me to help you find something?"

In her head she started readying Charter marks for shielding. Just in case.

This was not a good time for Sabriel to remember that cats were meat eaters. She took another step back, but tried again. "Um. Maybe I should get someone to talk to you..."

Sabriel eeped and spun around, following the big, toothy cat. She was pulling Charter marks out of the air, but they kept fading away making her redo them. It was more difficult than she'd expected to create the shield of Charter marks that covered her face and chest. She'd intended a full body shield, but that wasn't happening.

"Nice kitty?"

"Oh crap." Sabriel turned to run back towards the school, forgetting that this was perhaps not the best approach when dealing with a predator.

Sabriel ran for it and then tripped, hitting the ground hard. She rolled around on her back, holding her hands up in front of her to keep the shield in place.

The paw went straight through her shield, leaving a long, but not deep scratch down her arm, before Sabriel, cursing wildly, managed to strengthen the shield again.

It was a little like being far from the Wall, except she could still feel the magic. It just wasn't working the way it should.

She kicked out with her feet, aiming at the big cat's stomach.

The pause gave her the chance to scramble back on her feet, crouching down to watch the cat warily. She really wished she had a sword.

Sabriel was equally unhappy with the cat that wanted to make her breakfast. She narrowed her eyes at it, and started sketching Charter marks in the air with one hand. After a moment, she abandoned the shield and brought both hands up to sketch.

Completing the magic, she sent a snap of a whip towards the cat, hoping to drive it off. Unfortunately it didn't have the force behind it she'd been expecting.

"Oh hell," said Sabriel, and ran for it again.
