It took Amber a few moments, as she was on her way to work, to catch on that something just wasn't right in the air. The first harpy she noticed she grinned and waved at. "Oh, hey, aren't you a... weird kind of looking bird. Thing." Then: "Oh, hey, you're flying kind of fast and oh! you have friends and... hey! Are those claws! Oh my god, what? No... wait... ahhhhh!" She started running for work while being clawed and poo'ed at. Her shirt was torn and two of them bit her cheek while tangling in her hair. "What the... leave me alone you hellish creatures!" She crossed her fingers in front of her but it did no good. Amber ran faster and felt one on her back. It snapped her bra strap. "Ahhhhhh!"

But she made it into the store, huffing, cheek bloody, clothes tattered. "Apu! It's an invasion! Get out the bug spray and... bandaids! And, uh... a slingshot!" She was so going to try and wipe out a few.

Thank you, come again!

Who now had a few bandaids stuck to her cheeks and was wielding a slingshot.

"Oh thank God you've got weapons," Jack said upon entering. He was a bit worse for wear today.

"I've got weapons, Jack! Come here behind the counter! Hurry!" Apparently Amber thought this was a life or death situation.

Jack vaulted over the counter. "Okay, whaddya got? I'm looking for something that'll actually work. Aw, geez. Can we hit them with soap?" If looks could kill, there'd be a dead flock outside.

"I've got slingshots!" she said, pushing one in his hand. "If you aim for the head, it stops them dead." Because she'd opened the door to try and get a couple and it totally worked.

"I'll take two! No, three. Gotta have one for backup," he said. Yes, he knew that it took two hands to get it to work, and no, his math is not wrong. "You a good shot?"

She shoved two more at him. "Oh, yah, you betcha! I totally took down two!" she replied, grinning. Her bandaged cheeks and poo'ed up shirt didn't indicate such, but it was true. "You wanna sneak to the door and crack it open? Between the two of us we can knock off a couple more?"

"You're on," he said, ear-to-ear grin and all. "Let's get those flying monkeys!" He stuck the other two in his back pockets and tested the weapon. Nice pull.

"They are so dead meat," he declared, sneaking up to the front door.

Amber was using ball bearings for ammo and handed Jack a pack as they sneaked up to the front door. "Careful, Jack, we don't want to let any in!"

She held her slingshot ready. "On the count of three. One, two..."

"Three!" he said quietly, opening the door a crack and bracing it with his knee as he squatted low, letting Annette take the high road. "Bombs away!" he whispered fiercely, firing and reloading.

~~Annette~~ Amber aimed high and shot a harpy in the wing. "Hah! Take that!" She reloaded and aimed for another, even as one swooped in towards her. "Ahhhh! Get it, Jack!"

"Got it!" J~~erry~~ack said, taking aim and letting loose. Pow. Right in the kisser. "There's another one, coming high," he said to ~~Amy~~ Amber, taking another shot at a low-flying beast.

[sorry, the icon said 'annette' and I got confuzzled!]

Amber shot off two more and was huffing by this point, her adrenaline racing. "Oh my god these things are relentless killers! From... hell even! Their entire families are with them!"

[Ahaha! I seeee!]

"Then it's time to end this family vacation." Ping! Zing! "And send them packing back to hell!" Jack loved the sound the ball-bearing made zooming through the air. Not so much the sound of harpies.

Breathing hard she turned away from the door and slid to the ground, back against the wall. "How will I ever get back to the dorms, Jack? This is crazy insane shit!"

He took a final shot and closed the door. "You need someone to run interference?" he asked, looking around the shop for something else that might help. "I've got some stuff to do around town. Worst comes to worst, could camp here. Not too bad, you've got pillows, right?" He pointed off in the direction of the ~~totally modded~~ bedding section.

Amber thought about it. "Jack, I can't camp here. I will..." she looked around. "Find a hockey mask and... oh my god, that will totally work. Sports equipment! Woo!"

Jack had seen a horror movie that started like that once. "Yes! Sports equipment! Get a hockey stick, too!"

"Yes, exactly!" Oh, she was more excited now about making her way back to the school. Then again, if Liir were here with his broom, that would work too. "Hey, Jack. You should arm yourself too before heading back out there."

Yeah...his shirt was a mess. "I could pick up another pack of shirts," he said. "Plus some ball bearings...and marbles. What else you got as ammo?" he asked, bouncing a bit.

"I have Jolly Ranchers!" she exclaimed and started for the candy aisle.

That'd work. "Ooo! Jawbreakers! Gumballs!" He scrambled after her, seeing what all they could loot.

One day, I'd like to breathe again through my NOSE!
