Dorm Grounds, Saturday Evening

[dollpocalypse]

For all the complaints that people were making about the weather, there were at least two Fandom students who seemed oblivious to the snow on this particular Saturday.

Of course, they weren’t quite aware that they were Fandom students at this particular moment, because they were far too busy battling pythons and alligators.

“What, are you stupid? Hit its jaws with the thing!” yelled Dr. Nikki Riley, gesturing to an invisible (but very menacing) alligator snapping at her cohort’s feet. At the same time, Nikki whacked a large python with what appeared to be a large woolly mammoth bone she’d found in the snow. The python hissed and slithered off.

The invisible, invisible python.

Park Ranger Terry O'Hara knew this entire mess was Riley's overly blond fault and wasn't about to let her make things worse! She had a duty to uphold. A duty to the parks. Sure, she'd given alligators some steroids, but that was all in the course of her duty!

"This is all your fault!" Terry let her know. Because it needed to be done.

[[Oh god, so open. And horrible.]]

Being from Wisconsin, Dave didn't mind the cold so much, even if it was unseasonable. And so he was wandering around outside when he saw his roommate and some other guy acting... strangely.

"Hi. Is everything okay?" Dave asked.

"You have to get out of here!" Terry shouted even though there was no need for it. "These glades are filled with murderous reptiles!

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"No they aren't," Dave said. "Wait, glades?"

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

Terry gave him a look like he was simple. Because that was clearly the only explanation possible. "The Everglades!"

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"But there's snow," Dave said, figuring that would take care of it.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"Are you on the steroids?" DAMN IT, DAVE.

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

Dave looked at his arms. No, pretty scrawny. "If I am, they're not working very well."

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"Well good. Because they make you mutate into a giant, aggressive monster."

The Hulk?

"Well, considering my starting point, I think an average sized, sarcastic jerk's more likely," Dave admitted.

Terry gave him a look before glancing over at one of the gators. "You'd be surprised."

GATOROID.

"I'm pretty sure I won't," Dave said. "What are you looking at right now?"

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"A mess that she made," Terry said, pointing over at Nikki.

"I'm pretty sure that's a guy," Dave said, looking at Topher.

[dollpocalypse]

"RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!" Nikki screamed. "Here! Take these weapons!"

She then proceeded to pelt Dave with snowballs offer Dave some helpful weapons.

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"Ow! Hey, why are you doing that?" Dave asked as he tried to hide behind his own arms. It didn't really help.

[dollpocalypse]

"Saving you!" Nikki insisted. "If you're going to fight them, you'll need to be armed!"

Armed and ready! This was a task for only the bravest of warriors, Dave.

"You're not really arming me by throwing the snowballs at me, Topher," Dave pointed out.

[dollpocalypse]

"Who's Topher?!" Nikki exclaimed, dodging a python. "I'm Nikki Riley!"

Sigh. Like the aforementioned Topher didn't already have enough social issues.

"Here. Take a weapon."

This one wasn't a snowball. It was a rock. Well, at least she threw it underhand.

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

Dave hopped to the side to avoid the rock. "What are you think..." And then it dawned on him. "Oh. Gremlins."

[dollpocalypse]

"What?" Nikki shrieked, jumping onto a pile of snow for safety. "There are those here too?"

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"Well, probably not right now," Dave said. "But I'd bet they were here recently."

[dollpocalypse]

"Tell me if you see one," Nikki said urgently. "I can take it out with one of these!"

She held up some snow. God only knew what she thought it was.

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure the snow will scare them off," Dave agreed.

[dollpocalypse]

"What snow!? This is the Everglades!"

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"Sorry. I meant... swamp... mud," Dave said before giving a little shrug to nobody in particular.
