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.]]

"Oh, I will," Dave said chuckling a little. "That's nervous laughter. Because we're in grave danger."

Nikki nodded solemnly. "I'm nervous too," she confided. "It's important to just power through."

"I think I can manage that somehow," Dave said. "Do you think it'll be okay if I just head inside... to that very large cabin?" He was pointing tto the dorm.

"You mean the swampland?" Nikki was shaking her head. "It's risky..."

"I'm pretty sure I'll make it," Dave said. "And if not, hey, one less person to save!"

Nikki leaned in close. "Don't think like that," she whispered. "You'll make it. You have to."

Cue the dramatic music.

"I'm rooting for you all the way."

"I'm sure your faith in me will get me through this," Dave said. "Thank you."

"Good luck," Nikki said.

And with that, she leaned in to try to give Dave a good-luck kiss.

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.

"Oh, I don't think that's necessary," Dave said, leaning away from the kiss and taking a couple steps back. "But still, good luck to you. You're going to need it."

[dollpocalypse]

"Thanks," Nikki said, though she was a little disappointed by the lack of good luck kissing.

Oh, god. Topher was going to be sleeping in the bathroom until the cabin move-in.

"Have a safe journey!"
