Who: Luna Lovegood, Open
What: A band of angry locals goes after Luna
Where: Eventually the Malanore lobby
When: Sunday afternoon
Warnings | Status: Violence and verbal abuse | In progress

Luna could not take what she was feeling for much longer so she decided to slip out and see if she could track those odd footprints from a few days before. Her plan had been a nearby park but she had no idea a band of locals had been watching and decided she would be one of several examples made that day. As she walked (happy her wand was safely hidden back in Malanore) she was catcalled and basically insulted. "Come on trampy, show some leg!" one hissed at her. But Luna simply kept walking, trying to hold her head high in spite of everything. "Stupid little flea! All you're good for is being pretty!" another screamed. Several more wolf whistled,"You should just accept it, you stupid babies are nothing but walking meat!" as she was mooed at. "You're a ho!" another hissed.

That was when she was slammed against a tree with enough force to knock her flat.

"Stupid bratty cow!" as a few of the locals that followed her started throwing raw eggs, at least one pie and a few cloves of garlic to start. "We're gonna make you an example, true locals will always win!" the leader hissed as a red fruit drink was poured into Luna's hair (making it look like she was bleeding). "Keep it coming boys! We're going to show those fleas we mean business!" as the punches, thrown food and abuse (physical and verbal) kept flying. She was called pretty much every name in the book since by this point she had zoned out, having taken her share of this at Hogwarts the skill came in handy. "You little freaks should just be meekly doing everything we say! We're the bosses now!" the leader was in sheer glee as another cup of fruit drink was dumped onto her. But after at least 30 minutes of being beaten and insulted almost non stop the leader called it quits.

"Let the slut go, if she can even walk! We made our point, we are the bosses and they will pay dearly for not doing what we order. Example made boys!" as they threw the last of the eggs before finally leaving her behind a dumpster. "Let's see how many even dare to disobey now!" another giggled with glee. "Which little freak is next?" one asked as they eventually left.

Luna finally came out of the haze and saw she was basically black and blue with bruises and covered in small cuts. She also realized she was reeking of garlic and maybe a pie? But she quickly realized she had to get back into Malanore. So after what felt like hours (but was really maybe 45 minutes) she whispered an Apparition spell and quickly found herself back in the lobby.

Sure it was risky but she was desperate.

"At least my earrings are in one piece." she saw her radish earrings were still jingling in her ears.

Laura's general feeling of satisfaction evaporated quickly as she returned to the apartment building. Apparently while she had been giving one gang a talking to a much worse one had been active - or at least, that was the most obvious explanation for the injured girl on the floor of the lobby. This... was not something she was good at, but she could hardly leave her there, no matter how much her anger made her want to turn around and walk straight back out to find whoever had done this. But that would probably only make things worse, and with several of the adults already intent on bringing the police down on them she knew she had to be more careful than that.

Taking a breath - the girl reeked of the food they'd thrown at her, a complete waste even if some of it had already gone off, as well as her own blood over top of her sweat and natural scent - she walked towards her and crouched down. "Can you walk?" It came out curter than she'd intended; bedside manner had not been one of the subjects her education at the Facility had covered.

	"Think so, used magic to get back." came Luna's voice. She was spooked and she had no idea what looked like blood was actually a fruit drink that was poured into her hair. But she was able to get up, knowing she was not outside did help in that respect. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Magic. That was... useful, at least, though having no defense against something so powerful had always creeped her out a little. She was far more acquainted with the human body, though, and she assessed the blonde's movements as she stood up. Pain, obviously, but she seemed to be able to support herself appropriately. No broken bones or torn muscles. "It looks mostly superficial but you may have a head injury if you lost consciousness. I'm not very familiar with how quickly humans heal," she admitted.

Amy was still shaking from being sent to prison with Faith and thanks to Sam she had gotten out. Needing to think she walked out and started walking, and ignored the slurs that were aimed in her direction and the food thrown at her. That was nothing compared to the group that was targeting Luna who had become a dear friend to her. Temper rising, she ran forward and managed to knock out at least two of them. "Oi, why don't you pick on someone your own size?! How do you like it when people throw food and drinks at you?!" She shrieked as the locals screamed when she did the same thing to them only twice as harder. Once they left, she rushed to where Luna and another girl was.

"Oh my god, Luna are you okay? Can you walk? I have something to get the red out of your hair." Amy's voice teetered on the edge of hysteria as she took Luna's hand. Turning to the other girl she gave her a smile. "I'm Amy. I know this is a bad way to meet, but those locals are on my shit list." She added.

"I think so Amy." Luna was relieved to have a friend near and it showed. She took a sniff,"Something smells fruity." as she held onto Amy's hand. "Got ambushed, may have been followed." she was putting the pieces together a bit faster now. "We're open season and I could hear them going to make examples of more of us. She quoted one goon,"Let's see how many even dare to disobey now!" using air quotes.

"Raspberry cordial," Laura offered; she was fairly certain she could identify the brand, as well. It was not a particularly nice one, which might have been why they were willing to use it in their 'example'. "I'm Laura. I... spoke to some teenagers earlier but they seem not to have passed my message on." Or, she frowned, Luna's group may have taken exception to it. But she thought that if that was the case, they would have made sure Luna knew it.

	"Wonder if any of the groups are related, I mean if one group went after me and some are giving up the fight that could mean something?" Luna's brain was going 100 MPH at this point. She added for Laura,"I'm Luna." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Giving up was not their idea," Laura explained mildly. She didn't feel it necessary to elaborate; they would understand or they wouldn't, for all that she was still just a teenager and smaller than the both of them. Size didn't mean anything, even for people who didn't have magic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"They are goin' to keep pushin' us till we break." Amy's Scottish accent held an icy tone to it due to her friends being victims. Her hand never left Luna's as she offered a hesitant smile in Laura's direction. "I been attacked twice now. Once when Parker got beat up and just the other day when Faith and I got sent to jail for not havin' any ID. I'm sorry but these goons need to know that we are not gonna let them have the upper hand. We need to show 'em that we are not goin' anywhere. How about the two of you come to my place? I got some shampoo and stuff that can get the coloring out of y'hair and I can put some tea on." Amy was determined to not let the two girls go anywhere alone.

It was a strange feeling for Laura to be... tended to. The last few years she'd had to become fiercely independent; even those times when Logan could be around, he wasn't exactly the most nurturing parental figure. Remy, perhaps, had come the closest to taking care of her in that way, but it had always been a fragile balance as though she were a wild animal he was attempting to soothe. Which wasn't entirely inaccurate. (It was strange to think that if she'd had the choice, she'd have to consider long and hard which of the two she'd want here with her.)

"Alright," she agreed, recognising a note of hesitation that was inching a little too closely towards vulnerability for her liking. How ridiculous, when she could tear through a room of people in a minute flat. Vulnerable was the last thing anyone would describe her as.

	"Just like the war in my world." Luna mused. "But you win Amy, you're trick saved me during the garbage pelting so let's save my hair." trying for a weak joke in spite of her misery. But she somehow offered a hand to Laura,"Its ok to lean on others too." (Reply to this) (Parent)
