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.]]

Kenzi was coming back from the Devil's Nest, and stopped to watch this epic battle.

"Go you! Get 'em!" Getting what, she wasn't sure.

[dollpocalypse]

"Here!" Nikki tossed her a weapon large snow-covered rock. "Defend yourself!"

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Kenzi fumbled with the rock, crouching a little, and then said, "How many of them are there?" It could be invisible things! Bad things! Or... these two could be on drugs. Close call.

[dollpocalypse]

"We can't know for sure," Nikki hissed. "Dozens. Hundreds! And it's all her fault!"

Cue the pointing at Terry.

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"What'd she do?" Kenzi asked, throwing the rock weapon! randomly to see what the guy said. "Wait. She?" She looked over at Tony. "Um..?"

[dollpocalypse]

"Terry!" Nikki screeched. "She drugged all these fucking gators to make them huge enormous monsters!"

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Kenzi's glee at this grew like exponentially. "NO! WHY? WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT?" And also, internally, ahahahahaha were they crazy?

[dollpocalypse]

Of course they weren't crazy, Kenzi. GOD. They were just so, so troubled.

"Because she's a psycho!" Nikki exclaimed. "She thought she was, like, helping or whatever? But steroids? To gators? What kind of person -- LOOK OUT!"

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

This had Kenzi whipping around on the off-chance that something really was there, and then falling over with momentum.

[dollpocalypse]

"NO! IT'S GOT YOUR FOOT!" Nikki howled, appalled. She raced over to Kenzi, tripping all over herself (and the invisible gators) along the way. "Here! Give me your hand!"

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Kenzi managed not to giggle, and whipped her arm up to be rescued. "DON'T LET THEM GET meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

[dollpocalypse]

Nikki tried her very best to pull Kenzi away from the gators' sharp, sharp teeth. Unfortunately, hers was not the body of an eighties pop star. It was the body of a computer nerd who rarely left his room.

So, naturally, she collapsed, panting heavily.

"I -- can't -- save you!" she screamed.

"TELL MY MOM... I MISS HER!"

Kenzi flopped down, snorts trying to escape her, arms and legs flailing away as she was... eaten?

[dollpocalypse]

Nikki watched for a moment, then sniffled and turned away.

"Why is it always the good ones?" she cried.

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Kenzi crawled away a couple minutes later to laugh hysterically and silently behind some bushes.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"Get away from here!" Terry shouted, waving Kenzi out of the dangerous, dangerous Everglades.

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Kenzi held up her hands and then hopped up on a decorative rock, wondering if this was a kid's pretend-game, or what. "To where? Where's safe?"

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"The city," Terry said firmly. "They haven't spread that far yet."

And she'd stop them if it was the last thing she did.

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"I'll warn them!" Or, um. Not. Well. In a minute. Kenzi was hopping with suppressed giggles on the rock. "Should I take pictures to show them?"

Hello, handy cellphone!

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"They'd never believe you, kid!" Because Terry was a park ranger, Kenzi. A park ranger. And they hadn't believed her.

Until people were eaten.

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Kenzi had the phone set on record, and was now saying, "But we can't let the pythons get people in the dorms, either!" DUN DUN!!

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"What dorms? This is the Everglades!" And therefore, nothing was nearby. Because they didn't have the budget for them to film there.

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"OKAY!" That made things so clear! Kenzi saluted the guy who was a girl named Terry, according to the other guy. "I'LL SEND OUT FOR REINFORCEMENTS!"

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"Call for the army!" Because that always worked.

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"And the Air Force! And the Marines!" Kenzi promised, and in a more normal tone, "And, you know, doctors. Lots of them."
