Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2015, Early Saturday Evening [Part 2]

[bigdamnprincipal]

As the last new graduate sat down with their diploma, a roaring noise could be heard in the distance. The noise quickly got louder, and then it wasn't so distant at all as dragons began to swarm around the lawn.

Some of the dragons were real, with scales and tails and fire in their breath. Following in their wake were smaller, squishier dragons, in a variety of tasty jello flavors.

As the dragons descended upon the graduates, the Fandom graduation protocols kicked in, and an invisible barrier came down to separate the graduates from the rest of the audience.

Good luck, graduates. Hopefully there were some brave knight types among you!

Audience! [Grad 2015]

React to being walled away from the graduates! Get out your popcorn! Try to make a Snapchat anyone at home will believe!

Atton was quiet for half a minute or so.

"...I knew I should've gotten him a bigger blaster."

"Our fight wasn't catered," Karla groused, settling in to enjoy the show.

"I have a very good meal planned later," Hannibal offered with a smile.

Elsa knew better than to think that there was anything she could do to help the people inside the barrier, right then. That didn't mean she wasn't looking for a possible way in, all the same.

And later, she'd wonder when in the world she'd become the princess who wanted to get in to trouble, rather than the one who decided that it was better all around for her to stay out of it.

Jones did not look surprised when dragons appeared.

She did raise an eyebrow at the Jello dragons when they appeared. She even took a picture of the. With her phone to send back to James.

"He gets to fight dragons?" Vider demanded of the world in general. "I want to fight dragons! This is so unfair!"

"Is this part of the ritual?" Baldur wanted to know.

Kathy hadn't gone to graduation last year, so seeing the dragons was definitely a surprise to her.

"Oh my god if this happens next year, my parents are going to freak."

Robert looked startled and alarmed for just a second. Then he forced himself to relax – at least as much as he'd relax in general, which was not much – because this was nothing his daughter couldn't handle.

Graduates! [Grad 2015]

[bigdamnprincipal]

Sorry folks, hopefully you aren't wearing anything that can't get a little singed.

Graduates: FIGHT! [Grad 2015]

[bigdamnprincipal]

There were real dragons and jello dragons swarming around - it was your choice what you wanted to deal with!

At the back of the stage, a box appeared with swords... and what looked like selfie sticks with spoons taped to the end. Thanks, island!

Graduates: HIDE! [Grad 2015]

[bigdamnprincipal]

If fighting wasn't your thing, there was a safe spot towards the back where none of the dragons could reach, for reasons. Not everyone was made to be a knight, after all!

Success! [Grad 2015]

[bigdamnprincipal]

After the last of the dragons had been slain or squished, the school's sprinkler system kicked in to put out any fires.

#sorrynotsorry grads, but y'all look cuter when you're wet anyway.

Finally, the invisible barrier lifted, and everyone was released.

[OOC: Reactions, ho! Meet up with friends and family and try to explain what happened!]

Well. Not only was Sparkle slightly scorched and covered in Jello, but he was slightly scorched, covered in Jello, and soaked, now.

"C'mon," he groused, wet hair clinging to his face. "They couldn't have turned the sprinklers on when we were being attacked with fire and water-soluble gelatin monsters? I'M NOT GOING TO MISS YOU, FANDOM."

Isabelle emerged surprisingly unscathed from the battle, considering she'd gone into it with all she had. Maybe it was the purity of her heart, as she'd once told her brothers.

She felt a little better, having done something physical like that.

Kathy was cheering their victory, doing her best to hold up all three signs at once.

Re: Success! [Grad 2015]

[notacokeperson.livejournal.com]

Oh. Yay.

Karina was soaked through--though not cold at least--and covered in Jello.

Groooooss.

She wasn't scorched, but that had less to do with her own good luck and more to do with... well, it was hard to properly scorch her.

Grimacing at the sword still in her hand, she said grumpily, "Yeah, I really needed that, Island. Thanks ever so much."

Of course the one thing Flick's mother had been able to come to had turned into this. He was a little dirty but no worse than that. Afterward, he checked in with his mother, who was just confused, and Joi, who was a little taken aback herself.

But, they were both okay and that was important.

Emma didn't really notice the sprinklers, she could have sworn that that last dragon exploded right as it was about to collide with her.

She looked around, trying to figure who'd done it.

After fending off the dragon Barry tossed the sword away and went back to work on his phone. After a few minutes there was a cheerful beeping sound and Barry broke into a grin. "Sweet."

And then he continued to work on his phone.

Such a nerd.

Sia sighed again as the sprinklers went on.

Whatever, they'd gotten through and she was still pretty.

OOC: I want a dragon! [Grad 2015]

[bigdamnprincipal]

Please specify real or jello! Feel free to pick a color/flavor while you're at it. :)

Re: OOC: I want a dragon! [Grad 2015]

[notaweenie.livejournal.com]

I'll take a dragon of any sort. Will be on SP for the afternoon and evening.

Happy graduation, and happy belated St. George's Day! Thank you to heromaniac for the idea!
