Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2012, Early Saturday Evening (Part 2)
Were you all enjoying your graduation, children? Ingvar certainly hoped you were. It was so much fun, after all! Though... it could be a little more fun, couldn't it? It felt as if something was missing somehow. Something to really make it... fun.
Ingvar knew what it was.
And so, while the graduates were still on and around the stage, the earth began to rumble. Large black clouds of smoke pushed out of Ingvar's volcano and into the air, obscuring the sky and the moon. Soon, the air was covered in a thick black blanket of darkness.
The tune of the rumbling shifted.
Around the stage, clear protective walls sprung up. This was not Fandom's first tango on graduation day, thank you. She knew how to take care of what was hers.
Unfortunately, Ingvar knew its mother well. Moments later, it began to rain: a thick downpour of familiar plastic poppets in varying levels of creepiness, but also nice, brown, fluffy ...red-eyed, sharp-clawed teddy bears. And leading the charge, teeth-first--
"DROP BEARS!"

Re: Graduates: FIGHT!
No weirder than any of the other oh-so-convenient coincidences that inexplicably made up her life, so don't judge.
"Oh, you think you're so cute, do you?" she asked, squaring off against a drop bear. "Yeah, well, I'm not gonna fall for it."
[OOC: No rush on this since I have to run out for a couple of hours again soon!]
Re: Graduates: FIGHT!
He'd have to let his teeth do the talking for him as he leaped for Gabrielle's head.
Re: Graduates: FIGHT!
Gabrielle leaned to one side to avoid having, oh, say, her face getting bitten off, and aimed a punch at it with the pommel of her sai.
Re: Graduates: FIGHT!
Oh hey, he could manage something besides GRRRRAAAAAARGH, if you bopped him on the nose with the pommel of a knifedaggerthingie.
NOT COOL.
The Drop Bear fell to the ground, but immediately scrambled to attack Gabrielle's shins with his angry, adorable claws.
Re: Graduates: FIGHT!
And the satisfaction of not having Xena try to do all her fighting for her. So it was a vicious furry thing, not a half dozen bandits. Details.
She didn't jump out of the way in time to avoid having her robe slashed, but she did aim a kick at the Drop Bear.
"It didn't have to be this way, you know," she informed it.
Re: Graduates: FIGHT!
That meant please, statistically unlikely blonde-haired, blue-eyed Greek girl, tell me why it didn't have to be like this.
Maybe.
Or maybe it just meant RARR I AM COMING FOR YOU AGAIN AS SOON AS I ROLL TO MY FEETS.
Re: Graduates: FIGHT!
"People aren't that tasty," Gabrielle warned -- and no, she was not so bloodthirsty these days that she'd kick a furry creature while it was down, even if it was trying to bite her.
. . . Gabrielle, why were you trying to reason with it?
Re: Graduates: FIGHT!
Which was Drop Bear for yes, yes they are.
What Drop Bears were good at, of course, was dropping, not fighting from the ground. It looked around for something to scurry up, but found... only Gabrielle.
WELL FINE, IT WOULD JUST DO THAT THEN.
Re: Graduates: FIGHT!
Don't answer that.
Aaaaaaaaand there she was, pummeling at the Drop Bear with her sai again, and yelling this time. "Get your paws off me!"
What, you expected original lines from her in a fight?
Re: Graduates: FIGHT!
Which was Drop Bear for Oh, honey, that was Nick-level bad.
Whoever that might be.
"GGRK!"
That, on the other paw, was Drop Bear for "GRRK!" Because a sai to the larynx hurt.
