Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2013, Early Saturday Evening [Part 2]

As the last graduate took his seat with his diploma, a faint rumble rattled the folding chairs.

The noise grew louder and the tremors grew worse and true to Fandom graduation protocols, a invisible, impenetrable dome came down to separate the graduates from the rest of the audience.

The rumble faded away into uneasy silence.

Then:

"Dig...Lett...DIG!"

Now might be a good time to see what's in those ACME boxes, grads...

Arm yourself (with the giant hammers or whatever you brought with you) and get to whacking!

[OOC: Ping us down in the OOC thread and we'll send someone after you!]

Natalie wasn't even surprised.

She had a giant hammer, yes, although the graduation robe didn't entirely keep her from executing some successful kicks too.

"DIGLETT-DIG! DIGLETT-DIG!"

This little Diglett was literally jittering with excitement to be here! Or... no, actually, that wasn't what he was doing. He was going too fast too deliberately for that to be a genuine happy jitter--

--and then the ground started shaking around him.

"DIGLETT-DIG! DIGLETT-DIG!"

Several dozen of his friends popped up out of the ground to follow suit. Hold on to your hats, kids. These Digletts aren't stopping.

Neither are the localized earthquakes. Was that the empty graduate seating section that just tumbled into a fissure in the ground? Why yes, yes it was.

Juliet had been screaming bloody murder on a chair like a sane person, thank you very much, when one of the localized earthquakes tumbled her off the chair and right into the path of a burrowing Diglett.

She screamed more bloody murder, kicked the creature hard with her conveniently spiky shoe, and kept kicking until she could get to a safe area. She'd made it through two and a half years of this; she was not going to get killed just days before she would have gotten back to New York.

Ryan was struggling to keep on her feet as the ground shook, but she didn't hesitate in arming herself with a hammer. "This is actually pretty fun!" she shouted as she kept whacking the random Digletts that popped up.

"Do we have to beat them up?" Petra asked. "But they're cute!" Then she huffed, "Oh, fine," and grabbed a hammer. She wanted to get out of this polyester robe sometime today.

Hanna wasn't much of a fighter, but she was not about to let these things ruin her graduation. She swung at anything that came her way. Her shoes were a good weapon, too, and she used them often.

Kenzi had fallen off her chair, then climbed back on it, yelling and hacking away with her sword.

"Back! Off! You! Diggy! THING!"

"DIGLETT-DIG!" the Diglett called, vanishing into the ground and-- popping back up right under her chair.

Sorry, Kenzi.

"GAH!" Kenzi got up and leapt to the next chair, and kicked hers over, hoping to hit the Dig thing on the head as it collapsed. Then to the next chair, and kick. And then yelling, "I have a grenade and I'm not afraid to use it!" Even if she kind of was.

The Diglett just followed her as she went. It did catch a hard kick across the head, but that didn't really seem to deter it much.

It popped back up and sprayed sand at Kenzi's face.

That got it the flat of a sword to the head, while Kenzi started fumbling for the grenade. "GO HOME, STUPID GOPHER."

The Diglett slid back into the sand under the force of the blow-- then it popped right back up.

"Diglett-dig! Diglett-dig! Diglett-dig!" It began to vibrate again, causing the ground to vibrate with it.

"SHIT!" Kenzi's chair vibrated out from under her and into a fissure, and she fell across two others, then rolled to the ground, and almost into the crack.

But look! There was a grenade! YAY! Now she just needed a good place to aim it while choking on dust.

"Diglett-dig! Diglett-dig! Diglett-dig!" the Diglett called out as it zoomed through the dirt towards her, ignorant of any grenades.

"Topher is awesome," Kenzi told the grenade. "Topher is awesome Topher is awesome Topher is--" And then she threw it.

Well, that was definitely a drastic way to get rid of a Diglett...

"DIG--"

The grenade exploded, cutting the Diglett short. When the smoke abated, all that was visible was a black spot on the floor.

Lex sighed and picked up a hammer.

Maybe it was a good thing Lionel still hadn't made an appearance.
