CHRISTMAS IN JULY, PART TWO;
Days 478-479 (July 13-16th)

Day 478 (July 14)
Following a network post announcing an impending attack by ice giants and Thiazi's declaration to the city, the fight begins when a small swarm of pixies descends upon the city, no more than eight inches tall and the definition of "glass cannons." They create chaos however they can: shaking snow onto people, carrying off weapons, and attacking directly if approached without an easy exit. Their teeth are curved like fangs and razor-sharp.

While the pixies stir the city up, the frost giants begin to load the golems up into the catapults. Two by two, the massive ice creatures come crashing - literally - into the city. They land hard and inaccurately, as the engineers' defenses on the city walls keep the giants from approaching too quickly, and some golems seem to be damaged already by the same defenses as they land. The pixies seem to lose interest around sunset (though you may find one or two hidden and sleeping in a snowbank if you look hard enough - they'll attack aggressively if woken), but the fights with the golems continue well into the night, until all in the city are dispatched. Where the pixies turn into snow, the golems transform into large hunks of ice after they are killed.

Day 479 (July 15-16)
At sunrise, the pixies ascend from their hiding places and scatter, doing their best to break into homes to attack people directly. Today, anyone who finds himself bitten will begin to feel and act strangely.

Ice golems continue to come crashing into the city throughout the morning. All of the original ones slain, Thiazi begins creating more on the spot: while they may be more numerous, they are weaker, and many have odd physical defects. Some are missing arms, and others have extra heads. Following an attack by the strike team, the number itself will begin to thin considerably as one of the catapults is damaged and the other is destroyed completely.

Just before sunset, Thiazi delivers a final message and makes a hasty retreat with her entourage of frost giants. The spell responsible for the odd weather breaks the moment that she passes the threshold a half mile out, and all remaining pixies and golems in the city immediately, mid-action, turn to snow and ice.

By midnight, the city is thawed completely.

[She saw it, almost as soon as he called out. There was a lunge, and the snow flurried out of the way while she lunged back and grabbed for where the sound had come. It was a bit of a crapshoot, but she hoped to have him out of the way when it struck down.

Hopefully it didn't turn into a golem. That would just be peachy. Some botched shot turning into a golem right on top of them.]

[ She doesn't need to worry about him. She didn’t manage to grab him, but after a moment there’s a clear impact in the snow. He threw himself to the ground too, of course. In the opposite direction of her, which is unfortunate because it puts distance between them which might complicate things, but it’s simply the best way to make sure he doesn’t get hit, as far as he’s concerned.

The boulder crashes down, kicking up more snow and rock, and the Doctor shields his face. ]

Make for the wall!

[The words came out not far above an angry hiss. Snow plowed for a moment. The furrows were more obvious than before, though it seemed that the giants weren't searching their space. However, as the first cracks and shifts of the 'boulder' started to come, the meaning of her words was made that much more obvious. They had to get out of there fast.]

[ Oh, he's already on his feet and running for the wall. At the same time, though, he can't help laughing. It's just so ... ]

Living boulders! Just brilliant!

[Thankfully it took time for the golems to get to their feet. Outdistancing them wouldn't be impossible, and by now there were a lot of problems to keep the giants occupied. As the runes and potion started to fade, Samantha would come just into view, glancing over her shoulder.]

That's one way to put it. Either way, I don't want to end up on the business end ofthat thing.

[ Oh, hey, that makes it easier to follow her at least. Not that he really needed to, but he'd like to stay together. ]

Me neither. Doesn't stop it being brilliant.
samantha_grey: (Suspicions)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2014-09-17 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
We can do the same with stone golems, though I'll admit keeping the ice intact even in the winter does take a bit of effort. Stone statues do that more or less naturally.

[A look back saw the chaos erupting enough that they'd probably get back without too much trouble, at least as long as they didn't tarry.]

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2014-09-18 12:22 pm (UTC)(link)
See, that's brilliant too. Really, all of this is brilliant, just from a scientific standpoint.

[ The war is, of course, not something he considers brilliant. But because of it he has seen so many new things that he'll forever be bitter about not getting to keep. ]

[Her comment came between pants as she ran.] Seriously. You're as bad as a few people I knew back home. You'd study the teeth of the thing trying to bite you!

[ He laughs, breathlessly, and points at himself with both thumbs. ]

That's me!
samantha_grey: (Backwards Glance)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2014-09-24 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Guh. Remind me not to fight one of the dragons alongside you. You'd end up trying to study the inside of its mouth, Doctor. [As they hit the rope ladders leading up and into the city, she motioned for him to take first.]

[ Normally he'd haul people on before him, but to save time he goes ahead of her without protest. ]

I imagine I'd be doing more running, actually. But if I found the opportunity, yes, I'd try to do that.

[She shook her head as she started to follow after him.]

If you ever try, get some flame proof clothes first just in case, alright? It'll be one short trip otherwise.
comeonthensexy: (→215)

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2014-10-16 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Not sure I can promise that.

[ But he just chuckles, like it’s actually funny. In reality it isn’t really, but he’ll laugh at anything. ]
samantha_grey: (Backwards Glance)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2014-10-16 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's laughing too as she continues. It isn't that she will, but her sense of humor was never normal.]

No, that doesn't surprise me one bit. I almost figured you'd say that.
comeonthensexy: (→009)

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2014-10-24 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I can certainly try!
samantha_grey: (Smile)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2014-10-24 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll take try. Try means it's a little less likely that people have to patch you up after all. So, I'll work with that.
comeonthensexy: (→170)

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2014-10-26 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Believe it or not, I'm really not keen on dying. It's not a fun experience.
samantha_grey: (Default)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2014-10-26 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
No, it really isn't. But, I guess I'm sort of assuming you have a problem like me sometimes. When I got used to the fact that I would come back, I got a little reckless at times.
comeonthensexy: (→179)

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2014-11-16 12:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, believe me, so do I.

[ But he still isn't keen. ]
samantha_grey: (Seriously?)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2014-11-16 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[So was she, but at times she could be so blase about the whole thing. It was an internal defense mechanism, though, to keep from thinking about it too much.]

Guess it's a good thing there's a few people out there to get on our cases about making sure we actually don't take too many of those risks.
comeonthensexy: (→189)

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2014-11-25 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He heaves himself onto the wall, and reaches down to help her. Even if she definitely doesn't need that, he'd do it to anyone. ]

One of the many things they're good for, I suppose.

[ Including simply company, which is so very important. ]

samantha_grey: (Uhhh)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2014-11-26 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Amongst others... [She smirked.] But I think we're both doing a decent job of not dying today. I plan to keep that up anyway.
comeonthensexy: (→175)

[personal profile] comeonthensexy 2014-12-12 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, me too. Not dying is good.

[Kneeling on the wall, she pulled the chord up once she was sure nobody else was coming after them. Standing, the girl gave one nod.]

Ok, speaking of... I think we're clear. We should get back in and check on the others.
