Fandom High Dormitories

[[Takes place after Duo and Hamlet left their room to go build a pillow fort in the common room.]]

The gremlin kicked at the locked lid of the tool chest. Being shut in had been fine when it was her choice. But, being locked in was not acceptable. Luckily for her, the latch was old and gave way soon enough. Determined to see if she could get one more bite in before fleeing, she headed to the door instead of down the vent.

She jumped up and grabbed the doorknob, held onto the neck with one hand as she turned the knob with the other and kicked off against the wall. When the door started to swing open, she jumped down and ran out of the room.

As she headed down the hall toward the common room, she heard a noise from one of the abandoned rooms. As is typical with gremlins, she was easily distracted and went to investigate. She jumped up to the doorknob again and was mildly surprised to find the door unlocked because the mischief hunters got as far as unlocking the door, but got distracted yeah, that's it, before actually opening the door.

The gremlin pushed the door open slowly, not exactly sure what she would find. As soon as the door was open about a foot, a small four legged form shot out of the room. The gremlin, who was still hanging on the doorknob, blinked once, but wasn't that phased. She lived in the basement after all. There were lots of weird things down there. Peering into the room, she became much more interested in what was in there.

Meanwhile, a small animatronic toy ran down the hallway. Mischief was loose in Fandom High.

[[Closed for interaction, but feel free to comment if you wish.]]

If anyone was currently in the room they would hear a lot of banging and grumbling from the vent in the wall. The banging increases until, suddenly, the vent pops off and three fighting gremlins tumble out into the room. The entrance into the larger space is enough to break off the squabble for now as the gremlins go rolling in separate directions.

The biggest one recovers first. Shaking the dizziness from his head, he looks about him. So many shiny things. He sits in wonderment for the moment until the smallest gremlin tackles him. Big cuffs Little and starts to climb up one of the shelves. Little rolls into the middle sized gremlin grumbling. Middle shoves Little away also and climbs up after Big.

Little sits on the floor for a moment longer, shaking his head from all the tumbling about. When he finally recovers, Little looks to where the other two have gone. Big and Middle have climbed up a shelf full of gadgets and are inspecting them at random. Several fall to the floor. Little picks one up and shakes it. He gets shocked and drops it quickly. Shaking his hands, he picks up something else and sits on the floor to play with it.

Meanwhile, Middle, from his vantage on an upper shelf, spots more interesting shiny things on top of the dresser. Crouching down, he takes a flying leap and just makes it. Scrambling for a foot hold, he knocks several things to the floor.

Little drops what he was playing with and goes over to inspect the new items on the floor. He picks up a piece of fabric with bits of metal attached. Shaking it out, he can see it is a glove. He slips it on and it goes up past his elbow. Admiring the bits of metal on his fingers, he begins poking at the buttons on the back of the glove with his other hand. A bright green ball of light appears and begins streaking around the room before slamming into Little, throwing him to the ground. The ball of light disappears.

Big and Middle stop what they are doing and turn to see what Little has gotten up to. He sits up and shakes himself. He looks at the glove and pushes the buttons again. The ball of light reappears and begins bouncing around the room again. The three gremlins watch it. As it streaks back toward Little, he hold up his gloved hand to protect himself and ends up catching the light ball. The three gremlins look at each other for a moment and then down at the floor where the other items from the dresser still rest. There are at least two more gloves visible in the pile.

Big and Middle dive for the pile and don their own gloves. They turn them on. Little throws the ball and it bounces around the room again before heading back toward the three gremlins. They dive for cover, but Big gets hit in the back and is thrown to the floor. The ball goes bouncing around the room again, picking up speed in the confined space. Little and Middle hide under what furniture they can, ducking behind furniture legs whenever the ball bounces near.

Big crawls under the bed and along the wall to get to the door. Jumping up, he turned the knob and swings it wide. He turns as the ball hurtles toward him and manages to catch ot before it escapes the room.

Middle and Little emerge from hiding and run out of the room. Big throws the ball after them and the three hurtle down the hallway toward the common room.
