Groovy Tunes, (Or At Least, the Roof Thereof), Wednesday

[notyourpawn.livejournal.com]

Alice had left Dinah at home today. There seemed to be freakish winged harpies soaring through the air, and that wasn't the proper environment for a genteel kittycat.

She did bring her vorpal blade. She hung a sign on the door:

Your music employee is on the roof, killing harpies. If you require music, please attract her attention and she will be down to assist you momentarily. Please do not take advantage of this situation in order to shoplift; we have video cameras and sharp weapons.

She didn't know if there were surveillance cameras, but it seemed a useful threat.

And so Alice went to the roof, vorpal blade in hand, and tried to look quite innocent, a young girl who would be no match for vicious, cruel harpies.

Although the loud music she was blaring might give away her true intentions.

Join Alice on the Roof

More are always welcome, in the grand delight of killing harpies.

Dianh got to Groovy Tunes, saw the notice, and *head-doored*. She ducked inside and shut the door tight-- none of the harpies seemed to have opposable thumbs, and they could just crash through the windows if they wanted to cut themselves up-- then looked around.

Yup. No Alice.

Grimly, she looked around for something to turn into a weapon... then smiled.

She climbed the stairs, a stack of CD's in each hand. She could pay for them later.

"Alice!"

Alice's knife was already bloody, and her grin was somewhat feral.

"Dinah," she said pleasantly. She nodded to the stack of CDs. "Do you wish me to ring you up? I trust you to place cash in the register."

Flailing his broom at a harpy, Merlin gave Dinah a small wave. "This seems to be a rather popular spot!"

Once class had ended, Arthur had gotten his chainmail secured, albeit without the brilliant red tunic. Bringing more attention to himself hardly seemed like a good way to help out in combat. He had yet to encounter any knights, or any organised form of resistance, and this meshed badly with his thoughts.

He'd done radio often enough to know where Alice worked; he arrived with full intent to check in on her before making his next stop.

When he found the store empty but for the sign, he wasted no time in getting upstairs, sword in hand. "Lady Alice?"

"Your Highness," Alice said, bowing her head. It was decidedly less proper than it sounded, considering all of the blood and gore on her outfit. It didn't help that she kept wiping guts from her knife onto clean patches of her clothing.

(Well. One could replace clothing, couldn't one?)

Dinah whirled around at the next person joining them, blinked, and then abdicated dealing. Seriously. Harpies, Arthur.

Deal with the

-- ziiiing of another Jonas Brother CD into a fluttering wing, watch it lose altitude and crash into the side of a building opposite Groovy Tunes--

harpies!

Also, duck the damn rocks, ow.

Leto gave Arthur a quick nod in greeting, then ducked while at the same time swinging his arm to stab the harpy with the crysknife. It shrieked in pain.

Reno took a moment somewhere in amongst all the harpy smashing to take a headcount of the people on the roof who weren't covered in feathers and throwing crap at him.

Chainmail, huh? Classy.

"Yo, buddy, nice getup!"

After lunch in the library with Sammy, Dean went and armed himself then headed out. He figured he could get some action in while he waited for his brother to finish his geek shift and then they'd really go wailing on these harpies Winchester style.

He figured too, it behooved him as a big brother to check and make sure the harpies weren't bothering Alice too much.

He hadn't really expected what he found when he got to the music store though, and even less when he climbed up to the roof.

Re: Join Alice on the Roof

Reno had been out for a walk. A walk and a smoke. With his stun baton.

As you do.

He'd already crispy-fried a few freakish bird-bitches on his walk, and mostly he was just keeping an eye out for a good scrap to get into.

And then he heard Bif Naked. And then he looked up. And then he grinned.

"Yo, Alice! Mind if I join you up there?"

Jack ran past the store, a harpy following...and then doubled back. There was a sign. There was a sign that made him very very happy.

He ran up the stairs to the roof, slingshot in hand, pockets bulging with projectiles.

"Here comes the cavalry!" he shouted, taking aim and taking the shot.

Chad knew there was stuff to protect from the very large creepy smelly bird-women (who said some very disturbing things about him, might he add), and one of those things was definitely the store and possibly going to see if Alice actually went into today and to tell her that she shouldn't be selling CDs today.

Of course, it appeared as though Alice not only had things under control, she also had a party. Chad went up to the roof to find that Groovy Tunes was already pretty well under protection. And stopped thinking about it just in time to smash his smoking, armoured arm into the face of a screeching, swooping harpy.

Good thing it was already used to flying, right?

Tony had thought it would be safe to make a dash out to the Perk, but he was partway there when several shrieking, flying creatures bore down on him. He ran for the nearest store, dodging something thrown at him - oh, gross and ducked inside. Huh. Empty.

He spotted the sign on the door. So, he could stay down here like a wuss or go up on the roof with no weapons and try to fight them off like an idiot. And maybe find out what the hell was going on. Yeah, going for 'idiot.'

He went up to the roof and looked around to see if there was something helpful he could do.

Éowyn had heard stories of evil winged creatures as a child, but she had never been face-to-face with one, let alone seen them in numbers as they appeared today. Though a small part of her wanted to stay inside where it was safe, the thought of innocent people being hurt sent her to the weapons locker for her sword and out into town.

By the time she found herself by the music store, she had harpy blood on her dress, and a smile on her face from sheer adrenaline and exhilaration. The music brought her into the store, and the sign had her going to the roof and glancing around in surprise at those who were assembled. "Is everyone well here?"

Ronan had decided, after waking up most refreshed from a well-deserved twelve-hour sleep, to take a bit of a wander. Of course, what he found upon wandering led him to wonder if he were perhaps still sleeping.

After a quick trip to the weapons locker, Ronan made his way into town, and there, to Groovy Tunes, having spotted what seemed to be a large amount of activity on the roof.

"Alice!" he greeted, sword flashing out to behead a harpy even as he cleared the door. "What odd weather we have today!"

Arthur was on a roof, fighting harpies. Of course Merlin was there as well. This time, at least, he'd managed to find a broom to smack them with in case anyone questioned just why he was there an completely unarmed.

"...oh bugger."

He was having second thoughts about now.

It had been far too long since Teddy had been able to fly in a fight. This, of course, didn't stop him from taking advantage of it now.

Even if he was a bit wobbly.

Punching one of the harpies on down to the ground sure as hell made up for that, he thought.

Students being students, and all things being equal, Ghanima had gone out to check the town and be sure no one had gotten in over their heads.

There were harpies about. Asking the children to stay indoors would be like asking the sun not to shine.

By the time she made it to Groovy Tunes and saw the note with Miss Liddell's distinctive handwriting, her knife was well-blooded, as were her robes.

"Miss Liddell," she said, coming up on to the roof. "'Video cameras and sharp weapons'? Really?" From her tone, however, it was probably apparent that she was amused rather than vexed.

Call Alice Back to the Store

[notyourpawn.livejournal.com]

If you must. She will cease carving up harpies and assist you.

Mod Your Shopping

[notyourpawn.livejournal.com]

Please do not shoplift. There may or may not be videocameras, and there certainly is an armed employee on the roof who might notice you fleeing from the store with your ill-gotten gains.

This is the music I picked for her in the "trapped in a mall with zombies" meme (thanks to raspberryturk for the suggestion), so it seemed fitting here.
