Ingvar, leading to the volcano [Tuesday afternoon]

[fh_krampus]

As the Fandomites fought Krampus' hordes back to where they came from--Ingvar's island--they found themselves with some unexpected allies: Ingvar's very own collection of creepy, creepy dolls. Ingvar was Not Best Pleased with his new friend, Goth!Santa, turning out to be not very nice after all.

They'd be difficult to tell from Krampus' minions, honestly, but if you say some creepy doll on creepy doll action (NOT DIRTY), best to leave it be.

Ingvar's friend were helpful in leading our heroes towards the volcano, at least, once they got past the dive-bombing Christmas tree angels and demonic gingerbread persons/things!

Time to grab our friends, kids, and apologize profusely to the newbies.

Fighty Fight Fight!

Fight the terrifying bears! Not the gothic dolls! If you can tell the difference!

Octavia - ugly Christmas sweater and all- was absolutely covered in cookie crumbs and creepy bear fur and whatever else, by the time they made it to Ingvar and the volcano. But at least it looked less gorey than if the creatures had bled on her the way normal things would have?

Anyway, she was still going. Not a Krampus minion in her path left unskewered or unsliced by one of her blades, not even after things got a little confusing with the addition of new creepy toys that weren't attacking them.

Rey was really beginning to hate toys.

Force pushing them out of her way was a neat trick, though. And quick enough that they might not haunt her nightmares later!

Hey, so long as there weren't any creepy spider babies, Summer was okay!

She'd actually be okay with more creepy spider babies, too, tbh.

And she wished she coudl go in there with blaster blazing under the guise of really missing this, but she's pretty much just been doing something similar (similar! Same pew-pew-shoot-em-up ambush, much different targets and setting, though!) not even a week ago, sooooooooooo.....

It would never not feel good being a part of the calvary, dammit.

Sabine had some latent Toymaker-related trauma that she was probably never going to deal with.

...but shooting creepy toys came real close to catharsis. Also what was with this place and toys?

Steve's shield was ricocheting around, taking out swathes of Christmas toys.

If only this was the weirdest thing he'd ever done.

Rescue our Friends!

[fh_krampus]

Most of whom are dangling over a volcanic pit.

The rest are taking pictures of the people over the pit. Because Fandom.

"Well, finally," Anakin said. "We'd almost figured our way out of here."

This was not at all true.

Re: Rescue our Friends!

[burnitlikeshipping]

"We had?" Don't sound so surprised Sea Hawk, you'll ruin Anakin's moment.

Re: Rescue our Friends!

[thatwaslucky]

"Master Skywalker," Rey greeted him, pretty casually, already checking out the ropes.

Duke had passed the time since the failed escape attempt doing his best to meditate. And failing, because strung up over a volcano with a bunch of idiots by an ancient Christmas monster.

"That the cavalry?" he asked, without bothering to open his eyes. "Because if not they can just fuck right off."

Re: Rescue our Friends!

[okteiviakom]

"Duke!"

Did that shout coming from down by the edge of the pit answer his question sufficiently? Because Octavia wasn't really waiting for an answer, regardless. She was already looking up at the ropes instead, trying to understand how the hell they'd get everyone down safely.

"Oh thank god," Alexis sighed. "Hurry! My hair is frizzing really badly!"

Still looked great, though.

Re: Rescue our Friends!

[heroic_jawline]

Steve's entrance was preceded by his shield ricocheting off of three dolls and a murderous gingerbread man.

He came in, cowl up over his face. "Well, this is different."

Re: Rescue our Friends!

Astrid, who was neither dangling over the pit nor taking pictures, figured there was at least one thing to say about Fandom: they always pulled through in the end, didn't they?

Awash with a strange sense of not being sure if that was a good thing in this particular instance, she mostly just stepped back to make sure she was out of everyone's way, both hoping for and dreading seeing any familiar faces in the rescue crew.

Fight Krampus!

[fh_krampus]

Or try to. Ingvar might have plans of his own.

Re: Fight Krampus!

[okteiviakom]

Octavia was definitely one of the people advancing on Krampus as soon as he appeared again. Sword drawn and eyeing for any potential weak spots.

Fully ignoring the fact that against a big and tall goat demon, her entire body was probably one weak spot. She was wearing armor under the Christmas sweater!

Re: Fight Krampus!

[fh_krampus]

Krampus was finally pushed back towards the pit once the hostages had been saved, and that was close enough for Ingvar.

With a deep, island-wide groan that was about as close to a toddler tantrum as a geographic landmass could make, the lava shot back up through the pit, propelling a krispy Krampus towards...somewhere.

Not Ingvar's problem any more. But he was keeping all of the cute toys!

Apologize to the Newbies

[fh_krampus]

Before they nope on out of this crazy island to be apped in the summer!

Re: Apologize to the Newbies

[imastudent]

"Right, so." Heather finally put her phone away. "This school is terrible? And you should all be ashamed."

Re: Apologize to the Newbies

[burnitlikeshipping]

"What an invigorating experience!"

Weirdo.

Re: Apologize to the Newbies

[rockmuncher]

"So that was..." Abigail sure wished she could get the color back into her face, and she was thinking maybe, if she was going to be doing adventuring, she'd be better off to sticking to the mines and caves around Pelican Town after all, "...intense."

So many fun words, they were all thinking of!

Re: Apologize to the Newbies

[ohvalleyofpenis]

"Let's all pretend this never happened and that I was never here," Jaskier suggested. "I'm certainly going to."

Re: Apologize to the Newbies

"I'm going to take a shower, and then I'm going to get drunk," Alexis announced, in front of at least the dean and who knew how many teachers.

...She was going to take her fake ID to Baltimore and start there, and then she'd bounce around Europe for a while somehow...

OOC

[fh_krampus]

And we're done! Thank you all for going with the crack this year :D
