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.]]

"Still your fault!" Terry said, wishing all of life's problems were simple enough to fix by feeding alligators steroid injected chickens.

[dollpocalypse]

"No it's not!" Nikki retorted. Because that was the smart thing to say. "It's your fault! Why'd you have to feed them those chickens!?"

"Why did you free those pythons?!" Oh snap. She had you there, Nikki.

[dollpocalypse]

"Because!"

Because why?

"Because they were imprisoned! They deserved to be -- "

Nikki jumped onto an invisible alligator (read: pile of snow) and squished it.

" -- free!"

Terry kicked an offensive piece of snow python before it could bite her in half.

Damn pythons.

"They killed my fiance!" Wow, they liked to shout.

[dollpocalypse]

"So get a new one! Good luck, looking like that."

Nikki dove to save Terry from an oncoming alligator, but ended up kicking the alligator in her direction.

No one said she was coordinated.

"NOOOOO!" Oh, the CGI-rendered aligator was horrible! So horrible! She raised her hands to protect herself from the onslaught, but didn't do anything smart like... move out of the way.

[dollpocalypse]

"I'LL SAVE YOU!" Nikki yelled shrilly. Now was the time! She had to kill the alligator!

...By throwing a python at it. It didn't seem to do much but confuse the python.

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.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"No, not the python!" She couldn't accept help from a murderous python!

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

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

[dollpocalypse]

"Too late now!" Nikki cried, watching the python hiss at the alligator. "Ooh, man. I think they're gonna fight! Quick, hide under this palm tree!"

...It was another pile of snow. Someone was going to wake up with frostbite tomorrow.

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

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

[dollpocalypse]

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

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

It was the best palm tree around, though.

Terry flung herself over to where Nikki was, watching as the snow... did nothing. But to her, it was an epic battle that defied all attempts at description.

So, we won't even try.

Deal with it.

"My god, I've never seen anything like this before."

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

Juliet was taking the scenic route to the karaoke party. It was cold, sure, but her jacket was warm and the night was kind of beautiful.

At least, it was beautiful until she came across two guys screaming about nothing in the middle of the grounds.

"... Tony?" she asked uncertainly. "What's going on?"

[dollpocalypse]

"It's awful," Nikki agreed, staring in horror. "It's a shame there aren't more hunters around. What, were you stingy with the permits?"

GOD, TERRY.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"Who is Tony?!" Terry was very dramatic, okay? "You have to get somewhere safe! They're everywhere!"

Look at all that snow! That dangerous snow!

[dollpocalypse]

"That's Terry!" Nikki yelled helpfully. "No time to explain! Quick, get down!"

An alligator was flying at Juliet's head!

"I thought you wanted to protect the animals," Terry snapped, forming a snowball finding a weapon in case those animals noticed them.

"Or are you just another useless scientist?"

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

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

[dollpocalypse]

"I -- am -- not -- useless!" Nikki shrieked.

She punctuated that battle cry by throwing a snowball weapon at the nearest gator, knocking it out cold. For a moment. But then the gator rose up, driven by rage, and snapped at her.

Naturally, she shrieked.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

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

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

Terry did the brave thing and shoved Nikki away from the gator. Maybe with a little too much force. Because they had the rage. "Move!"
