First Floor Lobby: Saturday Night

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

Mel had retrieved her rubber-squeaky-scythe from the weapons locker and was out on patrol. But since it was dark out she could only stay in the lobby as she hunted the nastiest of the undead: vampire dust bunnies.

So anyone entering the lobby right now would find Mel leaping in the air as she attacked the dust monster.

"DIE!"

*SQUEAK-SQUEAK-SQUEAK*

Dawn wandered down into the lobby carrying a notebook and pencil, thinking about maybe writing a letter or a story (as soon as she figured out how to write), when she spotted Mel.

"Ooooh. What're you slaying?"

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"Shhh!" Mel said holding her finger to her lips. "I'm hunting vampire dust bunnies! Are you here to watch? Because your my watcher so you should be watching me!"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh!" She nodded vigorously, then perched herself out of the way on the stairs to watch and write. Or maybe draw pictures. "Careful, though. They're sneaky."

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"You have to be very careful when approaching the bunnies," Mel warned. "If you move to fast they blow away with the wind."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Stepping on 'em works, but you hafta be quick like a bunny," Dawn instructed her slayer. "Not a vampire bunny, 'course."

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"I'll try it," Mel said as she snuck up on a dust bunny with a very serious expression on her face.

Just as she was close enough she jumped on the bunny and let loose with a volley of hits with her scythe.

*SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK!*

Dawn was very busy drawing a picture of Mel slaying the dust bunny. There was a lot of what could have been blood if she'd thought to bring her crayons with her.

She sighed. Next time. "Good! You kill that bunny dead, Mel! Er. Deader?"

Rikku was fueled on sugar, courtesy of Cowabunga Carl. She might never sleep at this rate.

She bounced into the lobby ... and stared. An' stared. An' stared.

"I wanna try!" she announced.

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"It's completely dusted!" Mel declared as she put her hands on her hips and thrust her chest out in a true heroic fashion. "That's why I'm the swayer!"

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"Rikku! Hi!" Mel said bouncing up and down. "Come help patrol!"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"'s a sacred duty," Dawn nodded solemnly at Mel, even though she had no idea what that meant, really. "You're really good at it."

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"Thanks!" Mel said proudly. "What does sacred mean?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Uh...maybe something with pickles?"

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"Are they evil pickles?" Mel asked. "And would I slay them or eat them?"

[the_merriest]

"Patrol??" Rikku bounced. "Yay! Yay! Yay! I wanna try!"

She zipped off and returned quickly, with a wee plastic formerly-a-Godhand-but-not-so-much-now Velcro-strapped on. "What's we patrollin' for?"

Following Rikku, Romeo came into the lobby. "Hi Mel, whatcha doing?"

[raspberryturk]

Reno totally had a cardboard tube stun baton and therefore was armed and dangerous and stuff!

"Hi, Mel! Hii!" He waved a cheery hello with said stun baton. He had eaten and finished a report and everything today, so he was in an exceptionally good mood! Hooray!

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh. Very evil pickles." A solemn nod, and Dawn was now wishing for a green crayon. "Um, depends. Do you like pickles? Because you can eat them if you like them, but otherwise you can just slay them."

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"Killing monsters!" Mel said proudly. "Gimme pudding."

It's totally a logical train of though.

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"Hi Reno!" Mel said waving her squeak scythe back at him. "I'm killing monsters!"

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"Can I do both?" Mel asked. "Because I'd eat an evil pickle but not a dust bunny and killing dust bunnies is hard work!"

[withoutverona]

"I don't have pudding," Romeo said, sounding vaguely affronted.

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"Vampire dust bunnies!" Mel said in voice that was not for inside. "But be careful! They'll blow away if you go after them too fast."

[raspberryturk]

"Oooh, really? I can kill monsters! I'm good at it an' stuff!"

He totally was!

"What kinda monsters? Are we doin' a sweep of the area an' things so we get it allll?"

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"But you had pudding!" Mel said stomping her foot. "Did you eat it all?"
