Outside the Dorms, Wednesday Afternoon

Merlin hadn't arrived yet, but it was time to get started. Karla, being properly female again, greeted the Reserves with a bright and cheerful smile today as they assembled in front of the dorms. "We're glad you all got our handwavey message about a change in location," she said. "We have a special activity in mind for everyone today." Her smile got a little broader. "It's high time the Reserves got to fend off an invasion, don't you think?"

Tony grinned, too. “So here it is – word comes in that we’re being invaded by trolls or zombies or giant insect gummy candies come to life. The fighter folks are on the other side of the island dealing with a clump of enemies there. We’ve got to defend the dorms. What do you do?”

Yum. Giant insect gummy candies. Karla knew how to deal with that threat.

"So, yeah, it's up to you guys to decide who does what, where, when and how," she continued. "The Support Reserves have turned the dorms into an infirmary, a child care station, and are researching the best way to defeat these things, so it's imperative none of the enemies get inside. Once you're done, Tony, Merlin--" if he showed up, and after seeing Francine in class today, Karla was starting to worry "--and I will test your defenses and see what happens. Do you save the dorms and be heroes? Or are we going to break in and devour the helpless in our giant gummy mandibles?"

Francine put her hand to her own face, disbelieving even though she'd seen a far more miraculous version of the same thing last night. It took touching her mouth and not needing to wince, to really believe it. "Wow. Thank you." She studied Raven's face, having seen the moment of mirroring. "Didn't that hurt you?"

"I am fine," Raven said, not really answering the question. "My gifts allow me to absorb your injuries and dispel them. I am pleased that I could ease your pain."

"That's some gift." It made Francine wonder, though, what something like saving someone's life had taken out of Merlin.
