In Fandom Town Down to the Gates of Fandom High, Friday Afternoon

[not-the-irs.livejournal.com]

Now firmly under the control of Mr. White, the Auditors were becoming a little... more coordinated. They had found some of their powers failing that morning, which was terrifying, but then Mr. White had given them that look and they had given in to their bodies' apprehensiveness and scurried off.

Now...

"We must learn more," Mr. White crowed loudly. "Most of the humans are in there." He pointed at the school. "That is a fact."

The hundreds of Auditors gathered in front of him nodded meekly.

"So we must study it from the inside," he continued, "This is also a fact."

Another unanimous nodding session.

"Those inhabiting the town are also of interest," he added, "Which is also a fact."

More nodding.

"They have proven hostile so far. Also a fact. That means we can only conclude one thing."

He held up the axe. A good chunk of the Auditors held up their own weapons, mostly because they didn't want to be singled out for another experiment.

"CHARGE!" Mr. White yelled.

The throat protested. Interesting.

Seven hundred Auditors charged through the streets of Fandom.

[[ ocd up! Have at! Note that after this, all of Fandom besides the school and dorms is gone, so be sure to read the OCD. Also, if you need an excuse to get your character out of the affected areas, the Auditors are everywhere and they're going to be very hard to miss. ]]

Scully had her gun. And bottles of soda, in case any got too close.

She joined Claudia and watched a moment, then took aim. "Any idea what set off the attack?"

bang!

"Don't know, don't care," Claudia zapped another auditor. "I'm just glad we get to shoot them."

She was just an eensy bit seriously pissed off, yes.

Scully had heard the news, yes.

"I'm sorry about Quinn." Bang! It was unnerving, how they just disappeared when you got in a fatal shot. Scully bit her lip, watching the Auditors. "They don't really know what they're doing, do they?"

"Other than just kind of charging?" Claudia shrugged, then peered at the side of her Tesla. "There's gotta be a way to turn this puppy up to lethal."

Scully paused, then shook her head. "I don't want you zapping yourself while trying to take them out. C'mon." She held out the bottle of soda. "See if this works too."

Claudia was in the wrong mood for Scully's usual motherhenning, today. "I know how to use the Tesla, Scully. I've built these things. And the soda will only work if you can get it in their mouths." She turned up the dial on the edge of her gun and blasted one of the auditors, who vanished in a shower of dust. "Woo!"

This was probably not the sort of behavior to be encouraged in a young adult.

Scully sighed. She really didn't have anything else that would help, except watching Claudia's back. And it wasn't like she didn't want payback as well.

Bang! "Don't get too close to them anyway. What's the range on that thing again?"

"Way more than arm's reach," Claudia assured her. "I can blast 'em before they get anywhere near me." As long as they approached for the most part one at a time.

Scully wounded two that were charging, still feeling remote from everything that was happening. "There's so many of them. We need something that can take out more than one or two at a time..."

"I'm running low on charge, too," Claudia noted. "Here, let me. . . ." She turned to dig into the bag hanging at her hip. Over her shoulder, out across town, the force-field failed, and the Nothing swept in to devour large sections of the island before being stopped again.

"There!" Claudia said proudly, pulling her Tesla grenade from her bag. "This should do the trick." And she let out a war whoop and hurled it towards the attacking Auditors.
