-Who: Lizards and anyone!
-What: Lizards are swarming Mirage
-When: From morning to whenever the lizards are driven off/defeated
-Where: Location 4! The library
-Rating: PG-13 for fighting
-Status: Incomplete

Of course, the lizards in the library were gleefully ripping out pages of books by the handful and tossing them in the air, letting out the lizard equivalent of a giggle as they watched the pages float down. Some had toppled over a few bookshelves and were using the now empty stacks to climb around on. Yet another fight had broken out here as well, resulting in books being hurled back and forth at each other, accompanied by angry shrieks that could be heard from the hallways. A few other lizards who were wandering said hallways came inside, wondering what all the commotion was all about.

(OOC: As the day goes on, more and more will appear. There will be about 200 total, so about four and a half for each person, including those who are staying inside, so those who are fighting will have more to take down.)

Here is a quick link to the map: Link)

"As do I," Ianto agreed, facing the opposite direction that Sarah Jane was so they were more or less back to back. Better fighting strategy that way, Ianto felt. "We could try loud noises, but I'm not sure how we would make something loud enough..." The lizards were sometimes shrieking loud enough to make his head start to hurt slightly. At least they weren't being attacked by a pile of them...

Ianto resisted the urge to go over and fight the small mob that was playing with the books. It wouldn't help getting beat up himself and books could be replaced. Wounds took longer to heal. "They don't seem to be bent on killing us," he commented with a mockingly cheerful tone.

It was nice to know someone had her back. Since there was no sign of the Doctor or Captain Harkness. Ianto was Torchwood, meaning he was capable of handling himself in a situation like this. She winced as the lizards shrieked again in their incomprehensible language. "They seem to be doing just fine on the loud noises all on their own, don't they?" she said. Having someone else around helped to calm her a bit. That, and the fact that the lizards weren't actively pursuing them anymore.

"No, they don't," Sarah Jane agreed. "At least not at the moment." She hoped it would stay that way. She looked around, trying to figure out something that would drive them off. She wasn't keen on using the stun gun again, even though she clutched it tightly. Even if it wouldn't kill, it was still a gun. "Don't think they'll just get bored and go, do you?" she asked hopefully. Probably not, she knew, but she could hope.

Ianto was about to reply when a lizard went flying across the room. Ianto turned to look in the direction the lizard had come from and saw Spike standing there. He seemed to be certainly strong for a regular human. Hmmm. A potential distraction?

"Should we let our fellow abductee take care of the rest of them?" He glanced back at Sarah Jane, noting that she didn't look too comfortable at the moment. He remembered her mentioning a dislike of guns before on the sub-wave network. Perhaps he should help her get out of there then come back. The other man certainly looked like he could hold his own until then.

Sarah Jane jumped, startled, as the lizard flew across the room. She followed its path back to see the blonde man. Had he tossed that lizard, or did he have a weapon Sarah couldn't see that made it fly like that? And if it had been him, how? He didn't seem strong enough, based on his slight build.

"That hardly seems fair," Sarah Jane said, catching Ianto's gaze. "One against all those lizards?" Much as she wanted to run off, to find the Doctor and let him put it to rights, Sarah Jane knew she couldn't do that. "Maybe if we surprise the lizards, rush them and startle them, they'll run off?" Long shot, but her brain was for some reason not working as well as it should in a crisis. If older age was choosing now to start kicking in, it was choosing a rather inconvenient time. It could bloody well come back later. Think, Sarah, think.
