If you all grown ups moan this much when something boring happens to you, what're you gonna do when something actually bad happens?

And I miss those Gremlin things.

[Filtered to kids]
Anyone want to go do something?

(There's a sound of a first aid kit opening up and being rooted through)

As a fellow resident previously said, do not go out in the dark! Those Gremlins have a mean bite!

If travel after dark is necessary. Walk in groups and carry a very strong flash light!

BEST. GAME. EVER!!

We've got gremlins. Listen up, or the eyeball equivalent.

WARNINGS:

• Get kids, animals, and anyone else who can't defend themselves to safety. Gremlins are violent and they've already attacked children and a velociraptor and temporarily killed someone.
  
• DO NOT USE WATER. Guess how gremlins reproduce? The city water supply just got shut off, but play it safe-- ditch your bottled water if you have that, and stay away from bodies of water that can't be drained. You can still use other liquids, but avoid plain water. Invest in perfume ETA: The Rani is working on a gremlin-specific water soluble toxin.
  
• DON'T FEED THEM, specifically after midnight, but just in general, DON'T FEED THEM.
  
• If you've heard the old pilot stories about gremlins sabotaguing machinery, guess what? True. Be careful what you rely on, because it could go very wrong for you if gremlins play with it.
  

Things to know:

• Gremlins are pests. Your moral stance on how to deal with sentient homicidal pests may vary. Unless you have, say, a horse and cart to haul them waaaay out of the city since automobiles would mean epic fail, you might want to avoid engaging them yourself and leave pest control to someone else. ETA: Bodyguards and other help:
  • Jane Shepard will take care of the shooting.
    
  • Ashley Magnus can teleport you to safety.
    
  • Lily Potter can as well, and she can put up defensive wards if you want them.
    
  • Nessie Cullen can deal with them for you in a less shooty way.
• Gremlins vs. sunlight -- WINNER: LIGHT. Anybody have thoughts on how to rig those UV tanning beds up like flood lights? Other lights freak them out, too. The daylight'll keep them hiding, but at night, we can still fry 'em. ETA: Any light, just crank it up. If you can move stadium lights from the stadium to brighten high traffic areas or otherwise rig up some brightness, do it.
  
• Speaking of frying, you can electrocute the hell out of them. Lots of things work-- just don't try drowning them.
  
• My brilliant husband pointed out that we could distract them with Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Seriously. If Claire's store has a copy that could be removed from the premises, or anybody else happens to have it, let's gather up some AV equipment and find a central location to project it and lure in the gremlins. Don't bring equipment you can't stand to possibly lose. Claire has contacted a theatre about running it tonight, but we'll need to deal with the gremlins in there some other way besides a movie-style burning-down-the-house. Maybe my ridiculous tanning bed idea? Anyone who's up for barricading the gremlins in and shooting the hell out of them, volunteers welcome.

Why're people bringing trees into the house?

I really hate this freaking place sometimes.

Peter, wanna do something? We could take Old Lace to the park and make a snowman.

If anybody's wanting to complain about all the stuff going on, trust me and don't. What's going on here is lots better than some of the stuff that's happening in other places like this one. I don't think I've ever come across so many doors I didn't want to go through before. Not ever.

So...snowball fight anyone?

Because I refuse to let what happened--- So I'm already working on the Christmas dog show and I'm helping the locals put up decorations - including trees of the perfect height, circumference, color, and with the proper density of foliage.

And then I started thinking about the Christmas pageant back home and how much the kids absolutely loved it, so I decided to build a stage and have it at my coffee shop - Joch yn y Tywyllwch.

That being said, would any of you kids like to be a part of it? With the permission of your parents or guardians, of course.


OOC: All hail the Christmas Nazi.

Look, people. If you don't want to air your dirty laundry for the whole town to see, stop posting it on a public network. Obviously the PDAs and network are being glitchy again, which happens sometimes around here, so just stop doing it. Or at least stop being OMGSOSURPRISED when it happens. I'm eleven and even I know that much.

Molly, I vote we take Old Lace out for some exercise then drop her off and go to the movies. We've earned it. And by earned it, I mean I just got my allowance, obviously.

[ooc: meet older!bo, who has been raised in the x-mansion and hasn't been sleeping well due to bad dreams the past few nights. i'd say pardon her crankiness but, well, where's the fun in that? :P]

you know, people here moan about stuff a LOT. Its really boring

You need to have fun more.

I don't mean to bother you while you're on your break at work, I really don't, but I wasn't sure when else to bring this up.

I think I should really get back to going to school. My momma was always talking about how education's real important and I'm not learning all that much right now, besides what's on the TV and stuff of course.

</s>Please don't get mad at me for asking.</s>

You better let me go home RIGHT NOW
