Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2012, Early Saturday Evening (Part 2)

[bigdamnprincipal]

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!"

"Karla." Khardeen grabbed her arm, tugging her backwards slightly, while Aaron scanned the crowd once more for Cassidy. "What's going on here?"

Shields flashed up over them, and their weapons were out, shifting into a practiced defensive stance, Karla tucked between them.

Cassidy had brought a shield up around herself when the trouble started. And, well, knowing that Aaron was here, she made her way back over to where he and Khardeen were.

It wouldn't be right to let him wonder where she was when there was trouble going on everywhere else, right?

"Thank the Darkness," Aaron breathed. "Someone sensible." He nodded over to where Karla was still giving Khary a hard time. "Stand behind me in case those creatures pass that shield. We'll get you out of this."

It was because of everything that had happened to the worlds being eaten before that had her stepping to Aaron without arguing the point. She knew that they weren't in danger -- having seen last year's ceremony -- but she wasn't going to argue with her cousin.

Not this time, anyway. He probably shouldn't get used to it.

"Of course you will, Prince," she said softly. looking around.

Re: Audience: Oh boy, here we go again...

[theboyos.livejournal.com]

Yeah...Aaron had been friends with the coven for too long to just accept a simple agreement like that.

"...Why aren't you arguing with me?" Either she was truly terrified or she was up to something. Guess which one he assumed it was.

Re: Audience: Oh boy, here we go again...

[nothornlessrose.livejournal.com]

"Because arguing with you would probably not do any good right now and would just get tempers to a point that they don't need to be."

See how grown-up she sounded, Aaron?

Re: Audience: Oh boy, here we go again...

[theboyos.livejournal.com]

"Could you maybe point that out to Karla?" he asked, sounding pained, pointing to where her Sister was still tussling with Khary.

Re: Audience: Oh boy, here we go again...

[nothornlessrose.livejournal.com]

"I can try," she said with a smile.

Re: Audience Aaron & Cassidy

[theboyos.livejournal.com]

"Best of bloody luck to you," Aaron muttered.

And then watched in shock as Karla cocked her head towards Cassidy and then stopped fighting. "What?!" he asked. "How?!"

Re: Audience Aaron & Cassidy

[nothornlessrose.livejournal.com]

Cassidy turned to look at Aaron and merely grinned up at him.

"I merely appealed to her sensible nature." She said quite demurely.

Karla huffed and tried to yank her arm out of Khary's grasp. "Graduation, obviously," she snapped. "Let me go, idiot. No one's in danger here."

Dolls? Again? Like that was at all dangerous.

Re: Audience: Oh boy, here we go again...

[theboyos.livejournal.com]

"There are bears with teeth dropping from the sky!" Khary yelped, dodging the kick he knew was coming. "How does that not equate to danger?! And how is this part of the graduation ceremony! Ow!"

Didn't jump back far enough, dammit.

Re: Audience: Oh boy, here we go again...

[glacial_queen]

"Graduation always has crazy things happen," Karla said dismissively, waving her free hand, even as she tried to kick Khary again. "This looks less dangerous than last year's anyway."

...Wrong point to make, Karla.

"And what bears don't have teeth, anyway?! Emoo!"

Re: Audience: Oh boy, here we go again...

[theboyos.livejournal.com]

"Did you just call me an emu?!" Khary sputtered. "And what do you mean by all of that anyway?! Less dangerous? Always has crazy things?! What the Hell kind of school is this, Karla?!"

Re: Audience: Oh boy, here we go again...

[glacial_queen]

"One where we learn how to think on our feet and take care of ourselves!" Karla retorted snippily. "So let me go, Darkness take your eyes! Bloody Hell, I wear a darker Jewel! If anything, I should be shielding you!"

Re: Audience: Oh boy, here we go again...

[theboyos.livejournal.com]

"Males--" grunt "--duty--" struggle "--protect and serve!"

Dammit, Karla, MUST YOU BE SO WIGGLY!

Re: Audience: Oh boy, here we go again...Karla & Khary

[glacial_queen]

And that was about when Karla got Cassidy's message. Instead of fighting back, she simply stopped and offered Khary a sweet smile.

"As you say, Lord Khardeen," she said, batting her lashes at him.

Re: Audience: Oh boy, here we go again...Karla & Khary

[theboyos.livejournal.com]

Khary immediately let go of her and dropped his hands in front of his balls.

What? He'd MET Karla.

"Aaron," he warned. "Karla's trying something. She just went all docile and obliging on me!"

Re: Audience: Oh boy, here we go again...

[nothornlessrose.livejournal.com]

*Karla? If we let them fuss it will keep them out of trouble.*

The distaff thread came from where Cassidy was trying to look like she was being protected.

*You and I know there is no danger, but they don't ... and fighting each other will make things worse.* There was a pause. *I'll make you my double chocolate brownies in thanks?*

Re: Audience: Oh boy, here we go again...

[glacial_queen]

Finally! Someone who was looking at the situation intelligently. Another female, no shock there.

*This is preposterous,* she fumed. *They are preposterous.* Beat. *Will you add walnuts?*

Re: Audience: Oh boy, here we go again...

[nothornlessrose.livejournal.com]

Humor came through the thread.

*Sister, you have one more year here and I have two. They can have some time to be preposterous and then go away so we can get back to normal.* There was a pause. *As many as you want.*

Re: Audience: Oh boy, here we go again...Karla & Cassidy

[glacial_queen]

*Which means that I only have one more year of freedom before I have to bow to their tyrannical whims,* she sniffed over the psychic thread, though she stopped struggling.

And, *Lots and lots? Because today's my birthday, you know.* Just pointing that out, la.

Re: Audience: Oh boy, here we go again...Karla & Cassidy

[nothornlessrose.livejournal.com]

*We'll deal with that problem when we get to it,* Cassidy advised her.

*Lots and lots, but I already have something different for your birthday. Like I would forget that.*

Re: Audience: Oh boy, here we go again...Karla & Cassidy

[glacial_queen]

*Preferably with sticks to hit them with,* Karla sighed. *All right, watch me be a big girl.*

"As you say, Lord Khardeen," she said, batting her lashes at him, humor flooding the link at Khary covered himself.

Cassidy had no words because if she tried, she would burst out into giggles.

However, the thread between her and Karla was flooded with amusement.
