Around Fandom - Friday Night

[fh-fillers.livejournal.com]

The sun was down when large shapes started to slowly appear around Fandom. At first, they were barely shadows, nothing more than what you'd think was something you caught out of the corner of your eye. Then they became more and more real, more solid, more aware of their new surroundings.

A plesiosaurus raised its head above the surface of the park pond. High above the island, a pteranodon soared through the air. Rustling in the trees near the school-side edge of the Preserve, a woolly mammoth found some leaves to eat. Finally, Efferton Manor found itself with a new resident on the front lawn, a stegosaurus who was happy to mind its own business.

Dinosaurs hadn't roamed most worlds for millions of years until now.

Now they were back.

Poor ol' plesiosaurus is probably a bit cramped.

The pteranodon is watching you.

The woolly mammoth is hungry. Thankfully, it's a herbivore.

The stegosaurus is a squatter.

These dinosaurs should not be provoked. They're not here to fight you. Save your strength for tomorrow. Feel free to stop by and investigate and maybe say hello. They can't talk and remember that they are wild animals after all. Your prehistoric creature of choice is being played by a lovely volunteer this evening. Be sure to play nice.

Would Ronan be able to speak to them? He's theoretically capable of speaking to anything, up to and including a toaster -- one that toasts bread, not Capricans -- and would be quite interested in talking to a dinosaur, even if they're not much for conversation.

It was a nice enough day that Willow went for a walk. She kept her eye out for Shelby in case he felt like talking about anti box-turtle bias.

I guess so, but it will be up to the dinosaur player whether they talk back.

If the dino-players are reading this, no chatter about what's to come or why they're here, please.

Well, he's spoken to Anders, so obviously he's spoken to those kinds of toasters too. ;)

Josh was walking across the park to get to Aly's apartment.

And paused.

And blinked.

"Huh."

Re: Preserve

[fh-fillers.livejournal.com]

If she had eyes, she might have noticed a very large woolly mammoth grazing among the tress.

Re: Preserve

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow gasped in shock. She stood still, wondering if the mammoth would mind her being there.

Re: Park

The Plesiosaurus dipped its head in the pond and came back up with a fish sticking half way out of its mouth.

Re: Preserve

[fh-fillers.livejournal.com]

The mammoth raised his trunk higher in the tree to grab at the soft green leaves. He was very hungry this evening and had not yet noticed that he was being watched what with the girl being so quiet and all.

Annette was walking through the park to get back to the dorms. She had just bought some rope to tie up Dick with.

She was in a good mood and humming to herself.

Re: Preserve

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow took a tentative step forward. She tried her best to appear non-threatening. "Um, hello?"

Re: Park

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh blinked more.

"I've got my dinner, thanks," he said, holding up a pizza box.

Re: Rooftops

Isabel had taken her bottle of bubbles up to the roof and was entertaining herself blowing them and watching them drift away.

Re: Park

[fh-fillers.livejournal.com]

It threw its head back, tossing the last half of the fish up into the air and then swallowing it whole, making a contented gurgling sound.

Re: Park

[fh-fillers.livejournal.com]

The Plesiosaurus thrashed about in the pond, trying to find a spot deep enough to submerged.

Re: Rooftops

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

Leo was lounging on his lawn chair up on the roof, looking at the stars, and whistling the Galaxy Quest Theme.

Re: Park

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Pausing in her step, she looked towards the pond at the sound of splashing water and -- "Holy cow I thought you were just a fabrication. The Loch Ness monster is alive. Holy moly."

Re: Park

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

"So," Josh said, "you're not a student, right?"

Re: Park

[fh-fillers.livejournal.com]

There was another gurgle followed by two big splashes.

Re: Park

[fh-fillers.livejournal.com]

Giving up on trying to find a spot deep enough to submerge, the dinosaur edged closer to the edge of the pond and flopped its head down on the bank, looking exhausted. It had splashed a lot.
