2nd floor common room, afternoon

[soldtoarmenians]

{It's not Xander's Common Room, but why break with today's tradition?}

Xander was halfway through his second cup of coffee, and Isabel had already wandered back upstairs to the 4th floor, when the loudspeakers fizzed and sputtered, and an announcement filled the room, in an unfamiliar-to-him female voice.

He put down his coffee and chewed the last bite of pancake, before shaking his head. "Snow monsters. Great. I should've stayed a zombie."

{Open for anybody left in the room, or anybody who wants to head that way - or send noncombatants in this direction.}

"Huh," Jaye says.

Rory strode out with Vladdie flying beside her on his leash.

"Okay, one? Who was that? And two? That kind of language is unnecessary. And three? Snow monsters?"

[fates_jaye]

"If they melt, we get the same effect as the zombie stew," says Jaye. "Minus the zombies."

[soldtoarmenians]

"If they melt, we get no more snow monsters, right? That could be a good effect. Plus cleanup is easy. I like this," Xander said.

[fates_jaye]

"As long as they don't come up here. We- and by we, I mean those second floor people and the fourth floor fugees that frequent the second floor- just got things all prettified."

[soldtoarmenians]

"It's probably pretty safe in the dorms - the zombies never made it this far in, did they?" Xander asked. "But we might wanna figure out how to keep 'em away if they do show up."

Cordy blinks at the flying puppy. She is also weilding her trusty cricket bat.

"Monsters. Figures."

[soldtoarmenians]

"Hey, Cordy." Xander waved. "Yeah, can't say this place is a big change from home when it comes to random invasions of the school."

[upforachase.livejournal.com]

Cordy laughed. "Why do they always have to have tentacles?" She surveyed the common room for a moment. "Well. Are we in the hiding stage or the 'is there anything we can do about this?' stage?"

[soldtoarmenians]

"Somewhere in between? This is probably a good place to hide, but I wouldn't mind the doing something about it option." Xander tilted his head. "Be nice if we had Lockheed around - he could fry 'em up, longrange. He's probably in the Danger Room, though, since Professor Tick's running detention."

Peter walked down to the common room. He wanted to avoid fighting if he could, but if anyone here needed his help...

"Hey, Vladdie. And people."

[soldtoarmenians]

"Hey, New Guy. And snow monsters." Xander waved. "Except hopefully you didn't bring the snow monsters with you. Food and weapons welcome, monsters not so much."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Not unless any monsters followed me from the third floor," Peter said, shrugging. "I'm Peter. But I don't have any food or weapons, really."

Vala came stumbling out of her room, bundled up as she could manage.

*Snow Monsters*?!?!? asked of Cam standing beside her.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"That's what the P.A. said," Cameron nodded and thrust a 9MM and a P-90 into her hands. "We might want to get to the gym."

[aka-vala.livejournal.com]

Vala managed to swing the rifle over her shoulder, and grabbed the pistol tight in her good hand, really wishing she and Janet had gotten around to seeing if the cast on her left hand was really still necessary or not.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Right," Cameron followed. "Just, stop when it gets too much? You just got stabbed, you shouldn't be running around like this."

After talking to Angel, Angela goes back to bed for a nap.

The next thing she knows, it's 4 p.m. Whoops.

She pads down to the common room to see if Rory is still around somewhere and is surprised to find quite a crowd there. "Hey. Are we snowed in or something?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"That's one way of putting it. Hemmed in by snow monsters, apparently."

[chasingangela]

Angela blinks. "I know you did not just say what it sounded like you just said. Snow monsters?"

She brings her palm to her forehead. "Right. Stuff like that is, never, ever a joke here, is it? What are we doing?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack shrugged. "Not sure. Just got here myself. First thought... can we boil oil and pour it on them?"

[sharon-valerii.livejournal.com]

Sharon had a tough battle before her: snow monsters or homework. Homework that would keep her in straight A's...

Luckily, she was all for snow monsters.

Bouncing into the common room, she eyed everyone, and settled down to wait and see what they'd do next. Of course, if everyone decided just to bake cookies instead, she'd be all for that, too.

Sakura wanders into the common room -- at this point she's entirely confused. She has her bag on, her cards and anything else she thinks might be useful in it, just in case. She was sleeping until all of thirty minutes ago, and missed the announcement. Meekly, she taps Sharon on the shoulder.

"'scuze me," she asks. "I'm a little out of the loop. What's going on?" This is the second time in the last 48 hours she has been entirely confused about a rather serious going-on at the school. She hoped this didn't become a trend...

[sharon-valerii.livejournal.com]

Turning to look at the other girl, Sharon shrugs, smiling. "I think there's about to be an attack. From snow creatures... Still not weirder than the weekend we apparently had zombies." She pauses, frowning, "Not that I remember that."

But the frown disappears quickly, and she grins, holding out a hand, "I'm Sharon, by the way."

[sakuracchyan.livejournal.com]

Sakura nods. Snow creatures. All right, that was... different. At least it wasn't zombies. Snow was considerably easier to clean than zombie goo. She smiles. "Y'got that right... those zombies were a pain," She shakes her head.

She shakes Sharon's hand, smiling. "Sakura," she says. "Nice to meet you. Any clue where to get a little more info on these things?"
