Umbridge High School Building, Saturday Evening

[nomutineer.livejournal.com]

There were some clouds hanging around the spires of Umbridge High School, but not enough; there was an overlaying sense that there shouldn't be as much sunlight shining down on it as there was.

It was quiet. Kind of. There was tension in the air, a wound-up strung-up thing that ensnared the school. Somehow it seemed as if even the birds didn't want to touch down on the building itself, and the gates seemed to fold into themselves, even if they weren't quite shut.

And all that on a weekend, too.

[[ wait for the ocd up! ]]

Lawn & Front of the School

[nomutineer.livejournal.com]

The lawn laid here pristine and neatly trimmed, and entirely unknowing of its soon-to-be-trampled fate.

This would be the first hurdle on the way to the school. Maybe the loyalists hadn't noticed you yet, resistance...

Re: Lawn & Front of the School

A distraction team (http://fandomhighdorms.livejournal.com/2226711.html) was trying to breach the hurdle with explosions. Almost as if they wanted to be noticed.

The Library

[nomutineer.livejournal.com]

The brain of Umbridge's empire - or at least the memory - was the library, stocked to the brim with books... and at this point, probably alerted loyalists.

The Library - Before Assault

[nomutineer.livejournal.com]

Loyalists, gather up to guard your books.

Cassie was in the library, in a prime defensive spot, calling up the power within her. She would help protect this library and damned be the ones who tried to stop her.

The Library - The Assault

[nomutineer.livejournal.com]

In comes a Batman...

Re: The Library - The Assault

[willbevengeance.livejournal.com]

In the ideal version of this assault, anyone working the library would be called down to assist with the detention raid. But this wasn't unexpected and it certainly wasn't a deterrent.

Through careful planning and determination, they had made it to the roof with short lengths of rope for their entrance. Because of course Bruce's plan involved a flashy entrance crashing through a window. Of course. He gave the signal to the team and swung down, making an entrance for anyone who didn't want to smash through glass themselves.

The assault had officially begun.

The Library - Aftermath

[nomutineer.livejournal.com]

After the library is secured.

Detention

[nomutineer.livejournal.com]

Down below laid the target of tonight's assault: detention, with its guards and its many wards. Do you dare?

Detention - Before the Fight

[nomutineer.livejournal.com]

Loyalists, gather like the storm. Or the rock that breaks the storm. One of those things.

Detention - FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! Pre-Breakout

[nomutineer.livejournal.com]

Take it away, Kitty.

Detention - FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! Breakout!

[nomutineer.livejournal.com]

Detention's cracked, and the detentionees are pissed.

Hallway Full of Lockers

[nomutineer.livejournal.com]

It looks like an ordinary school hallway, but somewhere in the middle of this row of lockers lies Locker 327... and the Detention Scroll.

Main Office - Just Down The Hall From the Lockers

[cursedtosmile.livejournal.com]

If it seemed strange that there was someone in the office on a Saturday, the sight of Momoko just sort of standing there near the doorway, staring at the empty desks, the place where she'd spent the last two years not knowing, not remembering, had to be even stranger.

Her eyes were still red -- her eyes were always red -- but anyone who'd met her during her time working for Umbridge would notice that today, they were a thousand times less cloudy. And she had a mission.

Momoko wasn't sure how this would all end, today, but she had a back-up plan. Besides leaving, that is, which is what she was going to do as soon as she was done here. That was what Priestly had wanted, and now, well, she had no reason to stay.

She walked to the file cabinets lining the wall, pulling out reports and forms and throwing them to the floor. She'd worked in administration long enough to know the value of them; if these papers didn't make it to the right people, there would be chaos. The Board would get concerned. Inspections would happen... It wasn't much, and it would be slow, but it was something she could do. A start. Or a finish, maybe?

She moved to another cabinet, then the desks. Everything had to go. Sorry Ida, sorry everyone. But this was right.

When she was done, she reached into her pocket for the matches.

Locker 327

[fh_bde]

Just ignore the ominous clanking and slithering.

Rapunzel had planned to help. In a fight like the one going on today, lots of people were going to be hurt, and she was going to be there to do something about that. She was good at that. She couldn't fight, but she could heal.

Or she could yesterday (http://fandomtownies.livejournal.com/6503847.html?thread=247148711#t247148711).

Today? She was curled up in the school hallway, hoping no one would find her. Everyone was busy elsewhere, so it was better if she just stayed out of the way. She couldn't help anymore.

She couldn't do anything.

Across the School

For any other things going on in the school concurrently with everything else.

Re: Across the School - HULK SMASH OUT OF DETENTION

[xxlstretchpants.livejournal.com]

At the base of a wall there was a trembling and a crash followed by blur of giant green figure as it punched it's way onto the school grounds.

"HULK SMASH!"

That of course was pretty obvious.

As obvious as the gaping hole left behind him that anyone could use for escape.

[Separate thread from the breakout so I don't usurp any of the fighting in that thread. Feel free to use as an exit point or a place to confront the escapees.]

Re: Across the School

Clint knew the resistance was getting kind of feisty, but to actually succeed in breaking people out of detention? That was too much, and Clint was running around in the hope of rounding up anyone he could get his hands on, to put them back... somewhere. Look, he'd figure out that part of the plan when he got to it, okay?

[For anyone who wants to interact with or fight Clint, pre-arranged or not! SP warning for 3-8pm Eastern.]

Re: Across the School - Somewhere Between Detention and the Security Office

Cara would have avoided today's battle in detention even if she didn't have another objective today, since that she enough resistance members weren't aware of her true loyalties that she didn't want to be taken out by her own side.

As it was, she was keeping an eye out for both Bo and any stray escapees who needed directing out of the building.

Occasionally she eyed the barely noticeable lump under her leathers where she'd tied the amulet Kenzi had given her the previous around her wrist (since wearing it as a necklace would have both drawn attention and risked it being torn off).

Re: Across the School

Effy had learned over the years, how to lay low. Lurking in the shadows was a speciality, actually. But today, she was guarding, while lurking.

... Or at least, she wasn't going out of her way to bring the fight to her.

She could be found slouching in a doorway, her hand on a taser in her pocket, just watching for anyone who might be trying to sneak out her way. Whether she would actually tase someone, remained to be seen. It was entirely likely she would get distracted.

The bees were mostly out of the fight sadly, but there were still plenty of mosquitos, birds and frogs (joined now by a family of skunks and a badger) and chickens and things rarin' to go.

Two swallows bore Robin aloft, holding onto his arms until they reached the battlefield, then they dropped them off.

Robin looked around, unhappy with the carnage, but unafraid.

"Now what?" He hadn't planned any further than this.

Re: Across the School

[bloodyspitfire.livejournal.com]

There was an all-call, going out to anyone that Jonothon had been able to confirm was fighting on the side of the resistance... That was a small amount of people, granted. The list mostly just included all of those who had been in detention, and the handful of people that he'd seen come in with Kitty. He'd been out of the loop for a while.

Hell, he'd been out of the loop enough with his own powers, and wasn't even certain that trying to single out so many specific people all at once was even going to work, but Karla (http://fandomhigh.livejournal.com/3176427.html?thread=193499371#t193499371) had asked him to pass on the message, and seeing as she had been telling the truth when it came to getting them out of detention in the first place, he figured he owed her as much.

//An update on the hit-list, lads and ladies,// he reported to anybody that he hoped could hear. //Karla, th'blonde gel who we've seen in detention for the first time for the past couple of days- She's resistance. She's on our-side, and was playing double-agent in order to get the information needed to let us out. One more time, Karla is not a target. You may all carry on with your respective destroying things, now.//

Now, hopefully people actually heard it.

[OOC: If you think you heard it, Resistance folks, you did! Loyalists wouldn't have, though Resistance squirrels would, and if you'd rather not have heard it at all, that's cool too. Jono's a bit rusty with the powers, these days.]

Re: Across the School - A hallway, but without any lockers

[leavingthenest.livejournal.com]

Rapunzel was still shivering. She hadn't slept since yesterday, and she was scared, but that girl Dinah had said that she could help. So Rapunzel was trying.

What had Dinah said? Sam? Tall? Cute? Floppy brown hair?

That should make him... easy to find, right?

Hopefully she wouldn't run into anyone else. She wasn't sure what she'd do if she did.

You're free to play in the post or link up your own school-related activities!

There will also be a catch-all post for town activities (with rather less OCD than this one) going on before or concurrent with this stuff.

You're also welcome to use either this thread or the brainstorming post (http://fandomhigh-ooc.livejournal.com/929111.html#comments) for coordination purposes.
