Event Log: The Stampede

[hadrielmods]

Who: All characters participating in the event
What: The event log for Stampede event
Where: All over the city
When: December 26th-December 28th
Warnings: None

There's a rumbling sound in the air early in the afternoon on December 26th. Whether you're new in town or you've seen it all, something like this hasn't happened before. Is it an earthquake? It feels kind of like a small one, and that might be endurable if not for the sudden snarling and gnashing of teeth!

As it turns out, these yet-unnamed apex predators are overrunning the city, ignoring their previous apprehension to barrel right through anything- or anyone- that stands in their way. Seemingly spooked by something, they are aggressive and violent and won't hesitate to tear anyone they meet to pieces... after trampling them underfoot, of course. They're so large and muscular that they may even take a few portions of buildings with them- how would you like to see one of these monsters crashing through your living room?

At least it's only these weird mammoths, though... right?

[GROOOOOOOOOOOOOSS. but yeah for sure she has totally earned a long hot bath after this.]

Dude, that cannot be sanitary. It's never too late to slap on a mask.

[toiletseat_girl]

[sorry, George is about 50% George and 50% mammoth blood at this point, it's awful, this is why she sticks to the Clinic during a crisis, but damnit there are still. more. mammoths.

she sighs and wonders if she looks as bedraggled as she feels] Nah, it's cool. Damage has been done. I'll just have to, like. Eat my body weight in mammoth steaks as revenge.

[itsnotaonesie]

Now that sounds like a plan I can get behind.

[Yeah Peter's on top of the mammoths. Literally, he's taken from hopping from mammoth to mammoth and webbing them down as he goes, whacking some of the bitey ones in the head.]

[toiletseat_girl]

I thought so. Too bad there are no potatoes we could bake for a side dish. We could've had those, some lettuce from Pell's garden, it woulda been like going out to eat in a nice place.

[and she's moving down the line, skewering each mammoth in the jugular. it's messy, messy work and it's only getting messier, but. whatever. it's not like this is the first time she's been doused with another being's bodily fluids]

[itsnotaonesie]

See now my body's giving me all these mixed signals, because all this blood is making me queasy but the idea of like the best food ever is making me hungry and now my stomach is just confused.

[WOW THAT'S SUPER GROSS George needs to get better at dodging fluids.]

[toiletseat_girl]

Concentrate on the awesome meal. I'll find some potatoes. Someone has to be growing 'em. I'll find out. [a.k.a., steal them.

[AND IT SO IS, but this is her fate now, so she's going with it. she doesn't know how to use her sword other than /stab blindly! so she's kind of paying the price for that]

[itsnotaonesie]

Isn't it too cold to grow stuff? Like even indoors, its been pretty awful.

[You know what it's a pretty good strategy and it's working out so far. GO TEAM. Also Peter's secretly glad that he's not doing the gross part, but shhh.]

[toiletseat_girl]

Someone said something about warming runes, whatever those are. I figure I'll just go through the lots, looking for potatoes and go from there.

[she really should be used to bodily fluids by now, what exactly is her problem. OH YEAH, THAT SHE'S NOT USED TO BEING BUKKAKED IN THE FACE BY THEM]

[itsnotaonesie]

A whatty-what? A warming rune? Is that more of that magic whosy-whatsit?

[Is a bukkake of blood a bloodkakke??

Wow this got super gross, Peter's just going to go back to choke slamming mammoths]

[toiletseat_girl]

Yeah, sure is. Not any magic I know, but whatever. I know plenty of other magic.

[bragging? her? impossible!

...okay, so she's totally bragging. makes up for the blood nonsense. SHE'S CAPABLE OF OTHER STUFF, OKAY?]

How many of these assholes are there?

[itsnotaonesie]

God, magic is so cool.

[SO COOL.]

Um. Looks like... all of them. You still doing okay? Need a break?

[toiletseat_girl]

It is. But you can't learn it, that's just too much cool for one person.

['cause she says so, so there.

sheeeeeeee. surveys the current condition of her clothes. her hair. her everything else. her everything else is what's really suffering, but she doesn't see any way around that]

I'll not-live. Really.

[and with that, she stabs another mammoth in the throat]

[itsnotaonesie]

Hah! If you could see how many Star Wars Lego sets I had back home, you wouldn't be saying that.

[He is flattered though. But still, he's a massive nerd]

If you're sure. But like. Ew.

[toiletseat_girl]

I take it that the Star Wars Lego sets are a minus to your cool? I dunno about that. Lego sets can be hard, man. And add in Star Wars? That's like a plus or minus to your cool factor. You doing prequels or original trilogy?

[so is she, it's cool]

Be prepared to haul ass a metric fuckton of water for me so I can have a goddamn bath.

[itsnotaonesie]

Little of both, mostly original trilogy. Depending on ho you ask, it either makes me super cool or a big loser. I can deal with either, honestly. And I will haul as much water as you need, you've totally earned it.

[Friendly neighborhood best-housemate-ever-man at your service!]

[toiletseat_girl]

Original trilogy works as long as you swear that Han shot first. Prequels, there's no excuse for. And thank you, I think I have too.

[so much blood. she's going to be able to go as far as the foyer before she has to worry about staining the fuck out of everything. so they'll have to plant the tub in the foyer and everyone who comes in after that point will have to cope with a naked George because FUCK YOU, SHE'S NOT GETTING OUT OF THAT TUB. so there]

[itsnotaonesie]

Han definitely shot first, and George Lucas can bite me. And man, that is going to be a lot of water to heat up.

[That is not a good place for a bath george!!!]

[toiletseat_girl]

He so can. I have no idea what he was doing, going and fucking with the original trilogy like that. And it will be, but I'm worth it.

[FINE, as a nod to modesty, she'll find some bubblebath and dump it all in there and it'll cover the important bits]

[itsnotaonesie]

You know what, you are worth it. Nobody else gets my dumb pop culture jokes.

[That's what's important here, clearly. And bubblebath would help, BUT STILL]

[toiletseat_girl]

That's because everybody else is lame. [she says, completely unrepentantly.

nope, it's going in the foyer. with bubblebath. and George is going to stay in it until she's all pruney. that's all there is to it]

[itsnotaonesie]

Yeah, that sounds legit. Don't tell anyone else I said that, wouldn't want anyone getting jealous.

[And when she gets out she's going to be freezing and it's going to suck]

[toiletseat_girl]

My lips are sealed. [she mimes zipping her lips shut.

no, she won't, she knows magic that will keep her warm. yay magic]

[itsnotaonesie]

And that's why you're my favorite.

[FINGER GUNS, like a cool dude. AND IF SHE CAN JUST MAGIC HERSELF WARM WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO SET THE BATH UP IN THE FOYER IN THE FIRST PLACE]

[toiletseat_girl]

Awww, that's so sweet.

[and it is. she sounds genuinely touched. AND IT'S SO SHE DOESN'T TRACK BLOOD ALL OVER THE HOUSE. BECAUSE SHE KIND OF GOT HOSED BY IT]
