Monster attack

[fh-anonymous.livejournal.com]

Shots can still be heard down in the town. The troopers seem to be all tied up down there. Which is why it might be disconcerting to anyone watching out the windows to see figures begin rising out of the snow on the lawn of the school. More are moving out of the trees also.

They begin making their way toward the buildings.

[[OOC: If people choose to leave the building to fight, please organize yourselves into groups (preferably in the gym thread) and post your location in the subject line. This will make it a lot easier for me to keep track of everything.]]

If snow monsters could sing, Pippi might hear them singing, "Breeze it, buzz it, easy does it, turn off the juice, boy! Go, man, go, but not like a yo-yo schoolboy! Just play it cool, boy, real cool!"

But snow monsters can't sing. So they're not.

But they would.

If Pippi could hear them singing, she would know that she was right and not change her mind to think perhaps they are attempting a re-enactment of Beat It or Bad...

But she can't... So she does.

Is she also still gasping for air?

Pretty much yeah.

She rolls over and holds her toarch up out of the snow, but keeps trying to catch her breath.

Victor, from his high vantage point, finally noticed Pippi.

"Pippi! he yelled.

Nadia follows his gaze, and keeping an eye on the strangely acting snow monsters, she edges towards Pippi.

And really, it's kinda sad that she now knows how snow monsters ought to behave.

Re: Outside the clinic

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I'm okay," she finally manages to gasp out and staggers to her feet.

"Just not used to that is all."

Re: Outside the clinic

Victor was stunned. If anything could knock down the world's strongest girl, maybe retreat was a good idea.

Re: Outside the clinic

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia tilted her head, confused. "They, um . . . . They don't seem to be attacking any more."

Which would, of course, be when a last salvo of icicle daggers went flying at the group from the still-dancing chorus line of snow creatures.

Walter joined her and looked around. "I don't think it's over, but we could use this time to get inside."

With the adrenaline and endorphins wearing off, he's starting to really feel his wrist.

And not feel his bare fingers.

"Let's get Pippi inside. They had medical care set up in the gym last night."

Re: Outside the clinic

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia's eyes went very, very wide. "DOWN!" She dropped, but not before an icicle from the chorus line monsters caught her in the shoulder.

Had she not been dropping, it might have caught her somewhere much more important to her continued survival.

Re: Outside the clinic

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"Watch out!" Victor yelled, leaping in front of Nadia and whipping out his tongue to try and deflect the icicles.

One, two, three were swatted away, before a fourth one ripped through the sticky appendage, severing it.

Viotor cried out in pain, and cried out again as he took an icicle in the shoulder.

Re: Outside the clinic

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia grabbed Victor and pulled his uninjured arm over her shoulder, keeping them both ducked down low behind Pippi's snow fort wall. "We need to get out of here now!"

Re: Outside the clinic

[fh_extras]

Luckily for our intrepid adventurers, the snow monsters were by this point too caught up in the spirit of their now improvised dancing to do much more in the way of pursuit.

There might be a few last snowballs flung halfheartedly in their direction, but only as part of the dance routine. Really.

Re: Outside the clinic

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Victor!"

Cursing himself for relaxing, Walter spun around and dealt with the next icicle barrage, sending shards of ice flying as they were cut out of the air until Walter mastered deflecting them without shattering them.

"Get down and watch your eyes!"

"Pippi! I need help for Victor and Nadia!"

Re: Outside the clinic

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia kept a wary eye on the snow monsters as she pulled Victor towards the door to the clinic. If she could get it open, she might be able to bandage them up a bit. . . .

"You okay, Victor?" Yeah, dumb question, but she'd just seen the poor kid's tongue get severed. She wanted something resembling a response so she knew he wasn't getting shocky.

Re: Outside the clinic

Since the snow creatures seemed otherwise occupied (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/572795.html?thread=27538555#t27538555), Pippi tried the door to the Clinic.

"Nadia? Can you pick locks?"

Re: Outside the clinic

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia nodded. "Walter! Wires?"

Re: Outside the clinic

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter glanced up from Victor and casually cut through the lock.

"Come on."

Re: Outside the clinic

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi went in to make sure there weren't any stray snow creatures that had made their way in.

Re: Outside the clinic

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

If Victor could talk, he'd be streaming so many curses that Barbossa would blush. As it was, he sufficed for spitting out blood into the snow.

Fuck, it hurt. He could feel his tongue swell in his mouth as his mutant power activated and it repaired itself, but it still fucking hurt! His shoulder was worse, and he winced as the icicle dug into his flesh as he was moved.

Re: Outside the clinic

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter helped Nadia move Victor (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/572795.html?thread=27542651#t27542651) to the clinic door.

He knelt next to his boyfriend and divided his attention between Victor and the snowmen, which seemed to be done attacking.

"Don't try to talk. Just nod if you're in there." He didn't bother asking if he was okay. That was a pretty dim question. Conscious and able to communicate was a good start.

Re: Outside the clinic

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Look!" Called out Pippi as the snow creatures began to collapse (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/434037.html)

Re: Outside the clinic

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter made sure they weren't going to reform as something else and nudged Pippi. "I have the clinic door (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/572795.html?thread=27555195#t27555195) open. Let's get inside."

Re: Outside the clinic

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

Victor nodded and spat some more blood on the ground.
