The Wastelands, Saturday evening Fandom Standard Time [NFB]

[demonbelthazor]

With the powers he'd gained from vanquished demons, Bel was able to fight back against the Beast. But even with those powers, he was still tired and once again wondering why he was struggling so hard to survive. He was trapped here for eternity, and he didn't want to spend that time running for his life.

The tongue looped around Blair's wrist and started to tug him to where the sands were churning beyond it.

Cole grabbed Phoebe's arm. "Dammit, Phoebe, get out of here!" he said. "This place is too dangerous, just look!" He looked around at where the others were getting attacked. "You're all going to die. The Beast won't give up, ever!"

After a quick moment of "aw crap!" Nadia recognized a golden opportunity. She clamped her good hand on her injured shoulder and pulled sharply back against the tug of the tongue.

It made her wrist hurt like nobody's business, but--*pop!*

Shoulder back in joint.

"Thanks," she said to the tongue, then grabbed her mallet and started beating at it.

It moved fast, snaking around his waist as Aziraphale changed tactics in mid-strike. Flaring his wings wide to strengthen his stance, the angel dug in his heels, bringing the sword up high above his head. He let the tongue pull at him, then plunged the sword downward toward where the thing disappeared into the sand.

Phoebe levelled her gaze on her boyfriend. "We are not leaving here without you, Cole. We all came willingly to get you out of here and bring you home to us." She pulled her arm gently out of his hand. "I'm not losing you again," she said softly. She turned to look at the tongues again. "I can get you out of here."

"Oh, wait, I'm not sure I'm ready to meet the parents, man." Blair said, trying to plant his feet and tug backwards.

The mallet beating wasn't very nice and the tongue squeezed Nadia's wrist in an attempt to get her to stop.

[blessed_twice]

Tongue? Not that dumb. It let the feather fall into the maw because that was its goal anyway.

The maw may have made a low sound of enjoyment at the feather.

[nadiathesaint]

Holy mother of--that HURT!

So she started kicking at it. "Owowowletgoletgoowowowow!"

[blessed_twice]

Another maw opened up in the sand in front of Blair, and the tongue pulled harder.

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

Well, that did the trick and killed the tongue. Too bad the part around his waist was wrapped too tightly to fall off.

"Not the response I was looking for."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair blinked and then turned towards his friends. You know, the ones that weren't human-curious giant tongues.

"HELP!"

Alanna ran up to where Blair was having some trouble. "HEY!" She tossed a fireball a few feet to the right of the tongue. "Go, fetch!"

Anders struggled to his feet, retrieved his baseball bat, and limped up toward Phoebe and Bel. "Face it, man," he said. "We can be just as frakking stubborn as you sometimes, okay? So shut the frak up and stop arguing, 'cause you're coming back with us."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

The kicking didn't hurt quite as bad as the malleting, so the tongue wasn't inclined to listen to her request.

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

What the...?

With a snort of annoyed disgust, Aziraphale ignored the thing for the time being, much more focused on examining his surroundings for more tongue attacks. Or for any of his fellow rescuers who looked in need of help.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe looked at their friends and then she looked at Cole. "Trust me."

She closedher eyes for a moment as she recalled the spell.

" In this night and in this hour
I call upon the ancient power
Cole will follow when we return
Because we are smarter than Brad Kern
So his spirit we no longer mourn
Soul to soul, I bind thee.
Soul to soul, return with me."

[nadiathesaint]

"Crap! Owowowowowowow. . . ." Mallet got swapped for the baton, which had better reach, and she went back to trying to beat the tongue off.

[blessed_twice]

Oooh, magic. That really got the tongue's attention. It lunged at Phoebe and wrapped around her, knocking her down.

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

The tongue wasn't budging. It was waiting for backup from one of its' buddies.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia couldn't pull back against the tongue if she didn't want to dislocate her shoulder twice in one night, so she was stuck whacking at it with her baton.

"OwowowowowowA LITTLE HELP HEREowowowowowowowow"

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe cursed as the tongue wrapped around her. When she felt herself hit the ground, she cried out in pain. This was going to leave such a bad memory.

[nadiathesaint]

He might notice Nadia, a tongue around her wrist, yelling "OwowowowowowA LITTLE HELP HEREowowowowowowowow"

[blessed_twice]

The tongue reached Wilson and latched around one leg, yanking him off balance and smacking him into the rocks.
