[Timeskipping past whatever is happening in the main thread rn]
Sometime later, when nothing was going on, Caitlin found herself rummaging through the storage room in a vain attempt to look for anything that might be useful in protecting herself from a potential assailant.
"Junk, junk, junk..." she said to herself. "It's all a useless shite! That's just grand... I knew I should've gone to the armoury."

Nico entered the gym and was on his way to the student changing rooms when he heard noises coming from the storage room. His curiosity got the better of him and he slowly opened the door and peeked through it.
"Hello?" He called out. "Is someone in here?"

"What? Who's there?" Caitlin called back. "Oh, Nico? How ya gettin' on? Don't mind me, I'm just looking for shit in this manky room."
She was holding up a toilet plunger and a traffic cone.

"Oh! Hey Caitlin." Nico said, as he entered the room. "What's up? Are you looking for anything in particular?"

"I'm just faffing about and looking for anything to protect myself from a threat, but I didn't want to be too obvious by going to the armory," she said before dropping the useless crap in her hands. "But I'm beginning to think I should've gone and went there instead. I just don't want to rely on this 'magic' shite. I won't even summon a familiar."

"That's probably a smart idea." Nico admitted. "Wish I heard that before I summoned mine. Who knows if using the spells will effect us in anyway?"
He shakes his head, trying to push that thought aside. "There's got to be something in here, right? Like even just a little pocket knife or something? Do you want a hand looking around?"

"Sure, I could use someone who isn't a complete pisser," Caitlin said with a smile, then began digging through a box labeled "DO NOT TOUCH" that was conspicuously placed on the far side of the room.

Nico vaguely wonders if the box was placed there as a trap by the demons, and began digging through a nearby pile of junk.
"Surely with the two of us looking, we can find something that works for you."

"How's about this?" Caitlin asked. In her hands was a large, cartoonish bomb she'd pulled from the box. Its fuse was lit, somehow.

Post by Joker on Mar 18, 2023 0:14:41 GMT
"I-I'm sure that'd work just fine!" Nico said nervously. "But maybe we should put the bomb back and get something that's not just a one time use?"
He looked ready to dive for cover at any second.

“Good call.”
Caitlin tossed the bomb over her shoulder and into a pile of junk. Next, she pulled out a small, screaming creature the size of a rat. It was purple and kept trying to stab her with a paperclip.
“Oh, this piece of shite wants to play,” she said before holding it up at Nico.

"What the heck is that thing?" Nico asked. "Some kind of mini demon?"

“Must be a Blibli. They’re notorious little vermin. Looks like this place has got an infestation—once you’ve seen one, it’s too late.”

"A blibli...? I've never heard of them before. Are you saying there's more of them around here?"
|

“Fer sure,” Caitlin said while nodding. She dropped the creature to the floor and crushed it beneath her heel. It released an ear-piercing screech and exploded into a puddle of purple and red. “There’s probably a nest of these bastards around here. If we don’t get them under control, they’ll be worse than those shit-pissing demons, believe me.”

"I don't think I want to know about those demons..." Nico said.
"So what can we do about these bliblis? Is the school at risk of being taken over by them?"

Caitlin nodded. “It sure is. The nest looks like a big, throbbin’, purple nutsack.”
She grabbed an oversized pistol and tossed it to Nico, arming herself with a hatchet.
“You in?”

Nico almost fumbles as he awkwardly catches the pistol. “Where did-“ He began to say, but stopped. “Never mind.”
“I guess I am. I’ve never used a gun before. I’m a little nervous…”

“It’s easy, ya just pull the trigger and blast the fucker’s body to pieces,” she explained.
Together, they began their hunt for the blibli nest. They searched high and low throughout the school, until they eventually found it in the cafeteria. There, a big, pulsating, veiny, scrotum-like sac hang from the ceiling. Caitlin turned to face her partner, stoic as ever.
“Once you blast that fuckin’ thing, all hell’s gonna break loose. We may die, but not without honor. If ye wanna get it on before we do this, I’m game. But if not, start shootin’.”

Nico's face turned bright red. "Uhh... You're not saying what I think you're saying, right? R-Right...?" He asked, as he shakily raised the gun up and pointed it at the nest.

“It was worth a shot. Fire away!”

"Do we have to kill the bliblis? Can't we try to reason with them and live in peace?" Nico sighed. "I don't even like killing bugs..."

“Bless yer heart, boy. Do you think you can reason with something that only knows death and destruction?”
|

Post by Joker on Mar 21, 2023 17:05:18 GMT
"Well, you're the expert here. Do you think they can be reasoned with? Maybe we can negotiate with them or something?"
|

“Be my guest,” she said. She walked up to the nest and knocked on it three times, causing a few of the creatures to spill out. “Do yer thing, Pinkie.”

Nico lowered the gun and tried speaking to the Bliblis.
"Uh... Hi." He said, waving to them. "I don't suppose there's anyway we can try to co-exist in peace in this school, is there?"

The small, purple creatures gazed upon Nico with slacked-jaws and small, dotted eyes. The sounds of their tiny lungs sucking in and shooting out air was barely audible, but audible nonetheless. They listened to his words, hyper-focused on his lips. Then, with no warning, they rushed at Nico and began climbing up his leg while shouting gibberish.

Nico nervously looks over to Caitlin. "Do you think it worked...?" He asked as the strange creatures climbed up him.

Caitlin took a drag from a cigarette she’d prepared just in case, blowing smoke into Nico’s face before grimacing. “You tell me.”
The bliblis on Nico’s leg held aloft thumbtacks and began stabbing them into his calf.
