The Streets of Fandom, Friday Afternoon

"Alright, guys!" Zack's arms were crossed over his chest as he looked around the streets. Handwavey Messages had been left on the phones of anybody who had exchanged numbers at past Reserve meetings, Martial or Magic, and people had been told to bring whatever they needed in order to go zombie-fish hunting. "This is kind of like the time we had alligators burping goldfish, but this time, there aren't any gators, and the fish mean business. I don't want anybody setting off to face them down on their own, you hear me?"

He casually ducked as a swarm of piranha zipped by, where his head had been a moment before.

Karla sent a flare of Sapphire power after the swarm, dropping them in mid-air. Hello! They were talking here! No reason to be man-eating and rude.

"There's no reason for anyone to keep fighting while injured, or anything like that, so if you get bit or something, head back to the dorms or the clinic and have someone stitch you back up," Karla continued. "The last thing any of us want is some kind of suppurating flesh wound. They're gross."

While Karla spoke, the piranhas had undergone their zombiefication and flung themselves back up into the air, heading back for the group.

"Great. Also, it looks like you have to kill them twice."

A well-aimed Fira spell courtesy of Zack took care of the re-raised fish, and after a moment taken to poke at one of the char-broiled bodies with his toe, Zack shrugged and looked to the group.

"Let's get to it, then, and show these fish that they're messing with the wrong island!"

[This was always in the streets, ssh. OCD-Free and open to all! If you think you got a message, then you totally did, but anybody is welcome to meander on in to check out the action! Co-Written with the lovely [livejournal.com profile] glacial_witch, of course!]

"What a fun way to spend a Friday!" Ben commented, turning fish into little bitty fish with his lightsaber.

Sadly, he was complete sincere.
glacial_queen: (Eye-roll)

[personal profile] glacial_queen 2010-09-17 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"That is not sarcasm," Karla noted, using witchfire to blast a few of the creatures out of the sky. "I can't help but note, that is not sarcasm."
momslilassassin: ([pos] pretty lighting)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2010-09-17 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Ben grinned at her. "Movies in the common room get boring," he said.
glacial_queen: (Half-smile)

[personal profile] glacial_queen 2010-09-17 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Movies in the common room don't try to eat your face," Karla couldn't help but point out.
momslilassassin: ([neg] looking down)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2010-09-17 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not even the ones in three-d," Ben said, swiping at a fish and looking slightly exasperated as it tried to chomp on his shoulder. "Though these things sound like something that would come out of a bad movie."
glacial_queen: (Backwards giggle)

[personal profile] glacial_queen 2010-09-17 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, I already promised Dolf a microwavable feast in one of the common rooms tonight," Karla said with a laugh. "Maybe we can queue up a few horrible movies, too. We can jeer at the people who go running into danger with nary a thought."
momslilassassin: ([pos] suuuuuit)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2010-09-17 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"Because we're much smarter than that," Ben said with a wry grin. "We're not serving fish, are we?"
glacial_queen: (*Snerk*)

[personal profile] glacial_queen 2010-09-17 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"I should, just because you asked," Karla replied, dodging out of way of one of the downed piranhas. It had been sliced in half, but it was still trying to bite. "I'm thinking a lot of macaroni and cheese, maybe some salad. I've noticed people try to stick to vegetarian options after a fight like this."
momslilassassin: ([neu] focused)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2010-09-17 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Ben helpfully skewered it through the eye with his lightsaber. "And ice cream," he added. "We can trying making some again!"
glacial_queen: (Grin)

[personal profile] glacial_queen 2010-09-17 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Best feast ever!" Karla decided. "Though we'll have to be careful not to make it too good, or people will want invasions to happen more often."

Small wave of fire off to the right and several charred piranhas fell to the ground. "You got my back if I make a T&C or a pizza run later?" she asked.
momslilassassin: ([pos] aren't I cute?)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2010-09-17 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"Always," Ben said with a grin. "I'm not answering to Morton if you get chomped by a flying fish."
glacial_queen: (Conversation 8)

[personal profile] glacial_queen 2010-09-17 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"We can always blame it on Julian," Karla suggested. "Purple guy?"

Although, what she was going to do, now that Ben and Morton had met and decided not to hate one another, was still kind of beyond her. They'd team up against her, she just knew it.
momslilassassin: ([neg] Ben says "um wtf")

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2010-09-17 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
He wrinkled up his nose. "Purple Guy. What was going on between you two anyway?"

"That's an impressive weapon," Cally observed, firing a blast of her own at the undead creatures directly in front of her.
momslilassassin: ([pos] i am a big dork)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2010-09-17 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"Thanks," Ben said with a smile. "It's called a lightsaber." He glanced at hers. "Is that a blaster?"
onlymistaken: (looking - off right)

[personal profile] onlymistaken 2010-09-17 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"A short-range defence blaster." She nodded. "It is actually meant mostly for protection from wild animals -- or a hostile boarding party -- but it wasn't designed with this sort in mind."
momslilassassin: ([pos] flirty)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2010-09-17 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
He chuckled. "I don't know of many weapons that are," he said. He swung out with his lightsaber, frying a piranha as it flew too close. "I don't know what would be a better choice--they move pretty fast for something long-range..."
onlymistaken: (Default)

[personal profile] onlymistaken 2010-09-17 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"Something with a wider beam to bring more down at once would be good." Still, this would at least get two or three at a time. "We don't have flying predators at home."
momslilassassin: ([neu] bw scruffy)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2010-09-17 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"What kind of predators do you have?" Ben asked, taking a chance to rest as he waited for the next swarm to get closer.
onlymistaken: (gun - on watch)

[personal profile] onlymistaken 2010-09-17 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"Nothing at all in the cities, of course, but there are large ground mammals in the cloud forests." Cally checked the charge on her blaster, pleased to see it was in no danger of running down just yet. "A bit like dogs or wolves, but with six legs."
momslilassassin: ([neg] I have a hood and am looking down)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2010-09-18 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Like a strill," Ben commented, nodding.
onlymistaken: (worry - over my shoulder)

[personal profile] onlymistaken 2010-09-18 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
"We call them forest dogs, though they're not at all related to Earth canines." She would have smiled if she wasn't concentrating, jaw set, on blasting another wave of fish. "Our planet is not so independent of the Terran language as it is of the government."
momslilassassin: ([neg] gawking)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2010-09-18 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
"What happened with the government?" he asked because clearly the time for a political discussion was amid a zombie fish invasion.
onlymistaken: (action - crouching)

[personal profile] onlymistaken 2010-09-18 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
"Nothing. Yet." Of course it was! ...Actually, the Federation was not, Cally found herself thinking, entirely unlike a zombie fish invasion. "To us, at least. They've offered membership to our planet, we've politely refused, and for now, they leave us alone. Our council says it's because our cloning facilities are too valuable for them to risk being destroyed in a hostile takeover. Not that they'd call it that."
momslilassassin: ([neu] bw scruffy)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2010-09-18 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
"They'd just offer you assistance you didn't request in defense of a nebulous something they assure you is coming at some point," Ben said a little bitterly. "I've read about similar governments."

And lived through one, but that wasn't something he was ready to mention.
