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."

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

"Monsters. Figures."

[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.

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

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

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."

[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."

"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."

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.

"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."

[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."

[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?"

[fates_jaye]

Jaye looks towards the kitchen, but doesn't move from her seat. "Frying pan?"

[soldtoarmenians]

"Somehow I doubt they're gonna volunteer to sit in it and wait 'til they melt..."

[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."

[fates_jaye]

"No, for clobbering," Jaye says. "It works on TV."

[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."

[upforachase.livejournal.com]

Cordelia looks out the window and spots the creepy snow monsters coming closer (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/572795.html). "Um. Problem. I'm thinking about heading to the Gym. This is either the stupidest idea I've ever had or the best one. Stay tuned."

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander nodded. "Good point. Not sure I want one of those things getting close enough to me to clobebr with a frying pan, though. I distinctly heard the word 'tentacles' mentioned. Something long-range would be nice."

[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."

[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."

[fates_jaye]

Jaye thinks. "Ten foot pole?"

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander eyed her. "Well, the townie refugees are down there, so probably the medical people and whatever's passing for fighters are too. Feel free to tell them to send the fray-adjacent types this way- common rooms are pretty far out of the line of fire from what I remember of the last invasion."

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander scratched his head. "Ten foot pole with a torch on the end of it?"
