James T Kirk Memorial Causeway, Saturday Late Morning

Contrary to any weather patterns on the island or the mainland, the causeway was shrouded in a thick fog. Its tendrils were slowly spreading out through the streets of Fandom; if it continued at the same rate the entire town would be fog bound in a few hours. It was cold and damp and dismal, the perfect weather for a viking raid.

Or in this case...

If anyone was around, they would have heard a sound like distant rhythmic thunder start to come out of the fog. It got louder and closer until it became possible to pick out many rough deep inhuman voices in it, along with the rhythmic boom, boom of many large feet hitting the ground in unison.

Gradually large dark shadows appeared in the fog, revealing themselves as very large, very ugly.... things. If anyone was watching and knew anything about certain non-human species, they would've recognised them as trolls.

Row upon row of lots of big, ugly, vicious, dim-witted trolls stomped their way out of the fog. When they were all through, the two trolls at the head of the group called a halt to the group. You could tell they were the leaders because they both wore shiny helmets with big pointy horns on them.

"Right!" the first one, Grrarg, yelled. "We have orders. Group... you guys here," he said, waving his hand at the left handed side of the troll horde, not quite sure of counting to one. "Follow me. We go to where the females are. Protect them, stomp on anything trying to hurt them. Maybe get laid."

A cheer went up from the trolls he'd indicated, while the others looked maybe a little annoyed that they weren't chosen. Maybe not. It was hard to tell with trolls as they always looked a little annoyed.

The second leader troll, Gragrr, addressed the possibly annoyed trolls. "We go church," he said. There was a long pause as the horde waited for more, but that seemed to be Gragrr's entire motivational speech. A half-hearted cheer went up from his group more out of duty than real enthusiasm.

"Right!" Grrarg yelled, raising his large cudgel (which he called Big Stick Good For Hitting Things) over his head. "We go now! Everyone follow!"

Slowly with a lot of grumbling and other less pleasant but nonetheless usual troll noises, the group split into two and headed down the streets of Fandom to their chosen destinations.

But trolls were not known for the focus, or their dedication to a cause and as they went, a large number got distracted by all the lovely things they were passing that they could smash. As a troll brain was very small, it took little to no effort for them to forget their orders and convince themselves that they were really here to loot and pillage and rampage. Most trolls could turn anything into an imperative to loot and pillage and rampage. It was a genetic gift.

So it was that the groups that arrived at Efferton and at the church were much smaller than the groups that had started out from the causeway. And there were random groups of trolls running around Fandom having a trollish good old time hitting and smashing things.

Molly had been planning to get an ice cream today, but the change in the temperature and the weird chilly fog that was now rolling through the streets had changed her mind. Instead, she'd gone to J, GOB for a muffin.

Paying more attention to reaching into her pastry bag than to what was in front of her, Molly walked right into what felt like a wall. She fell backwards onto the ground, the muffin she'd half pulled from the bag flying into the street. She looked up at the towering figure above her.

"You made me drop my muffin," she said angrily.

Trooper Patrol

Trooper CT-287932 had gotten behind of his patrol due to some hinderance - there was a small amount of debris caught in his armour, or more specifically he had a rock in his boot. He quickly moved down Apocalypse Avenue, trying to catch up with the rest of patrol. Noticing the figures in the mist, he hurried up towards them.

Molly jumped. "Hey! That was mine you big jerk!" She punched the troll in the side.

The trooper came to a halt and stared at the... thing. Still, there were far uglier aliens out there than this. "I'm sorry, sir. We don't have a toy store in Fandom."

Considering it was a troll, the hitting wasn't all the lightly for the trooper. He stumbled back and quickly raised his blaster. "Stand back, sir, or I will be forced to fire. There are no talking toys here."

Not again! she thought as her body and then her head hit the wall. Her eyes rolled up and she slid down the wall into a heap.

Panicking, the troopers started to fire his blaster, but he had poor aim considering that the thing was already holding on to it. He tried to jank his blaster loose from the troll's grip.

John happened to be wandering in town when he came upon this scene. Stopping, he wondered if it was some kind of performance art.

"Uh."

Not able to hold on to his blaster, the trooper had to let go. Which left him empty handed against the thing which was apparently way stronger than him. He might have been here to protect the people, but he wasn't that dumb either.

"I'll be good," he said, edging away from the thing and hoping that his patrol was nearby. "This is trooper CT-287932..." he started calling on his radio, already turning to run.

This was so not good and they were so not students at the school. Stupid Fandom.

There was a loud crack as the hit both knocked out the trooper's radio and made the trooper fall to the ground. For a moment he just lay dazed on the pavement, not sure which was up or down.

Bel hadn't found anything at Selkie Cove, so now he was storming through town, trying to find some trace of Phoebe or Lana. Instead he found...what the hell?
