Dorm Lawn [Sunday Afternoon]

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

Claire and her shiny new Christmas present from Jack were outside the dorms, trying to keep more of the nasty little critters from getting inside.

Her shooting skills still weren't fantastic, but the zat handled better than a regular gun and she was doing well enough, if the scattered scaly bodies around her were anything to do by.

"Sorta, yeah," Claire said, not having put that together until Elle said it. "It definitely works to stop these little buggers in their tracks."

"And that gets it a thumbs up from me." Complete with an actual thumbs up.

Aww, a lull! That wasn't gonna last.

As evidenced by the gremlin launching itself in Elle's direction. She let out a shriek -- not very dignified but so completely Elle -- and took a shot at it.

Claire aimed the zat at the gremlin in case Elle's blast didn't take it out.

Thanks to the whole stumbling backward and trying not to get chomped on, Elle's blast only skimmed the top of the gremlin's head... if they could really be said to have heads and not just, y'know, be giant balls of chompy pain and evil.

"Get it get it get it oh God get it!" Elle was shrieking. Not exactly her finest hour.

Claire shot the gremlin twice and it fell to the ground. She hurried to Elle's side. "Are you okay? Do you need to go to the clinic?"

Elle flailed a good couple seconds more before getting hold of herself. "No, I'm okay," she said as she checked herself to make sure she hadn't been bitten. She hadn't, of course, but the checking made her feel better.

"It didn't bite you?" Claire asked.

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

"Nope," Elle said with a quick shake of her head. "Tried to, though."

She'd been flailing too much for it to actually get her.

"Okay, good," Claire said. "I somehow think these things biting would be way worse than the regular Fandom gremlins."

"I never thought I'd say this, but I miss the regular ones." Elle quirked a grin before zapping another gremlin. "... They don't seem to have any kind of learning curve, do they?"

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"No, they really, really don't," Claire agreed, hitting the gremlin that Elle just zapped three times with her zat so it would disintegrate.

"Okay, now that? Is way cool," Elle declared. "And means that thing's got one up on me. I don't make stuff disappear if I hit it enough, I just make it char."

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but you don't have to worry about carrying something extra around," Claire pointed out. "And possibly not having it when you need it."

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

"Okay, yeah, you've got a point," Elle admitted. "That thing is still cool, though."

A pause.

"Can I try it out sometime? When we're not in the middle of a gremlin fiasco, I mean."

"Hmm, sure, I don't see why not," Claire said.
