Uberbob continued to do battle with the inanimate ice covering the welcome mat, while the rest of us watched bemusedly.
"This is just getting sad," I pointed out. "Let's just go in already."
"What about Uberbob?" Fawriel inquired. "Looks like he's determined to defrost the whole academy."
This did seem to be a problem. I thought for a moment, and suddenly came up with a spectacular idea. "Can I borrow your spear?" I asked Fawriel.
He took a few steps back. "Uh... you can't kill Uberbob."
"Yeah," Shuriken added. "We all get ideas, Araches, but you can't just go around-"
Before anyone could stop me I snatched up Fawriel's spear. It was surprisingly heavy, and overly-ellaborate in design, but it would do. I stood over Uberbob and swung the blunt end down on his head. He fell to the floor unconscious. I reached into his pokets, pulled out the rope, and proceeded to tie him up. There were no attempts by the rest of the group to stop me. When I was done I dragged him by the feet to the now-unobstructed door, pushed it open, and went inside. The others followed suit, minus the part about dragging Uberbob.
I was now in charge.
And while I revelled in the fact that I was a lesbian sorceress in power, something which would have been politically unimaginable a few years ago, I was still the leader and thus responsible for what we did next. The inside of Scholar Sam's Academy was, in fact, just as it was before. The walls were lined with bookshelves containing various textbooks on the dark arts. Between Fawriel, L33tz4n and I, we had skimmed through most of them. The academy was uninhabited but, thankfully, the heating system was running smoothly. There were a few chairs and desks here and there, as well as a chalkboard. It looked to be a pretty standard school, despite having only one classroom, no cafeteria, and a teleporter leading to Newsuperubermegatroplois in the corner. That said, I guess it wasn't so standard after all. I dropped the unconscous Uberbob in the middle of the room. The others gathered around me, deathly silent. It was time to give my first order as leader.
