Fifth Floor Girls' Bathroom, Saturday Morning

[thatsamilkshake]

There should not be scratching at a shower curtain. From the outside. No. Then again, Francine was too busy murdering All the Single Ladies with her face under the water, to hear it.

So she didn't notice until the curtain actually moved.

Step 1: Panic. "Hey!" Crap, which parts should she try to cover?
Step 2: Moment of logic. "Katchoo, is that you?"
Step 3: Watch as curtain gets ripped aside to reveal a gremlin. With 2-inch long claws and fiery red eyes. So not Katchoo then.
Step 4: Scream!
Step 5: ?
Step 6: Profit Flail and kick at it, stumbling out of the shower. "Get out of heeere!"
Step 7: Scream again as it bites you on the leg. Hard. And then unlike any sane gremlin, keeps trying to scrabble its way up your wet, soapy body.
Step 8: FLAIL HARDER!
Step 9: Watch gremlin finally detach and go sailing out the window.
Step 10: Bleed. Nakedly.

[OOC: For one, and then she's outta heeeeere!]

Step 11: Go to Step 1. Shock to panic in 0.3 seconds. Flail for a towel.

"Gremlin! Big, giant, nasty, PERVY gremlin!" Francine stabbed a finger towards the window that her flailing boob arm had launched it out of, then scrabbled again for her towel and succeeded this time.

Raven glanced to the window to make sure the gremlin wasn't trying to crawl back in, then turned back to Francine. "You are injured," she said. "Please, be still for a moment and I will heal you." She was so concerned about the bite that Francine's nakedness wasn't making her blush. For now.

[thatsamilkshake]

That's okay, Francine was doing enough of that for the both of them. A little less once she actually got the towel wrapped around her, though, and complied with Raven's request, leaning on the towel rack and offering her nastily-chomped left calf. "Ow. That thing was huge. And creepy. And...I'm still me!"

[trigons_child]

"You think you are still Francine? You do not feel the urge to sing or anything like that?" Raven said as she bent and pressed a hand to Francine's leg. She hissed softly as the bite marks vanished from her calf, as well as all the smaller scratches caused by the creature trying to claw its way up Francine's body. The healing only took a few seconds, and when it was done she straightened and studied Francine, making sure she was herself.

"No more than I did while I was in the shower before the gremlin ever showed up," Francine answered while said healing was taking place, calming down a little as Raven's power had its way. "Actually quite a bit less, now." She put her weight on her leg and sighed in relief at the lack of pain. "Thank you. That was no ordinary gremlin bite."

[trigons_child]

The pain had faded from Raven's leg now, and she was starting to pick up more sensations of panic and violence. "There is fighting going on outside," she said. "Do you think there are more of these creatures attacking people? Where did they come from?"

[thatsamilkshake]

Francine moved over to the window to look out, and wished she hadn't: there was another uber-gremlin clinging to the sill, grinning evilly at her. "Afgghhh!" She slammed the window shut just as it swiped a handful of claws at her. "I think that's a yes."

[trigons_child]

"More people are possibly injured," Raven said. "I should be trying to help them."

[thatsamilkshake]

"Me too." Just not as effectively. "We've got first aid stuff for support services," Francine answered, reaching for her clothes. Which... buzzed. She drew out her phone to find she had a text message waiting. "...That answers the fighting question too. Arthur says they could use us."

[trigons_child]

Raven moved to peer out the closed window again so that she could give Francine a little privacy to dress -- she wasn't going to leave her alone is more of those creatures were in the dorms. "Where do you need to go for the support services? I will make certain you get safely there."

[thatsamilkshake]

"Caritas is where we set up as a safe place that's really safe," Francine answered, scrambling into her clothes. "There's a no violence spell there and... I think at the clinic too."

[trigons_child]

"Do you need to do anything before I take you there?" Raven asked. "It will be much safer if I teleport you than to try to walk there."

[thatsamilkshake]

"Ooh. I forgot about that. Good. Great." Yeah, Francine wasn't about to be turning down any free rides across town even if they did involve that whole swallowed-by-Raven's-cloak dealie. "Let me check on Katchoo first, then we can go."

She wondered if she could text the Support people on the way, or if Raven's weird dimension was out of her calling area.

[trigons_child]

"Of course," Raven said, though she was certain Katchoo would just glare at the gremlins and they would go running. Not that she'd say that to Francine, of course.
