Faith Lehane has posed:
Its early evening in the park, but the grey clouds make it seem later than that. It's not only gloomy, but a little spooky, with the occasional rumble of thunder in the distance warning of an incoming storm.

But that's not the spookiest thing out here today. There are statues, lots and lots of stone statues, some birds, some rabbits, even a couple of humans. This far into the trees, most people dont venture except for the truly adventurous, and one might easily walk right past the statues without a care in the world..

Except..

A certain trouble maker is making a lot of noise, yelling and swearing and threatening someone as she slams him against the tree, glowering up at the considerably taller, more muscular man who looks like he could easily snap her in half, a smug smirk on his face as she yells at him.

"Alright asshole, give me answers! Did you do this? Did you summon it? The hell's goin' on here? If you don't tell me in ten seconds, I'm gonna kill you!"

Oh yay, it's the crazy girl from the other day who was fighting invisible demons..

Green Ranger has posed:
Bludhaven was spooky at the best of times, but at night, with stone statues in a park, it was even creepier. Tommy had been scouting out locations for some Halloween fun, yeah, he believed in being prepared, and so was in his civilian clothes, which meant a tartan, green, white, and black, shirt, with a black hoodie, the hood down, underneath, a black belt, and dark green jeans, and black sneakers. There was also some white highlights and accents in the designs. But he liked to stick to a certain color palette.

Coming across a young woman who was bullying a much larger man, he wasn't immediately sure what to make of it. He had come quietly, likely not disturbing either of them. And then there was a twitch, the sound of a twig being snapped under his foot. So much for sneaky.

Faith Lehane has posed:
The man who is slammed against the tree just laughs, "Little girl, do you have any idea what you're up against?" his dark eyes flash warningly at her, "You'd better run before I get--?"

And then there's the snap of a twig and both Faith and her would be victim pause, glancing back towards the path into the woods.

"What..?"

It's enough distraction for the man to vamp out, baring long deadly fangs as he leaps at Faith, tackling her to the ground..And...Trying to bite her neck..?

Green Ranger has posed:
So much for subtly! Tommy didn't really know what was going on, but the girl had been bullying the bigger guy, and now he was over her, and seemed to be trying to bite her neck. That was more than enough reason for him to go and do something stupid, which in this case meant a swift kick to the man's head, foot hitting bumpy forehead, which should have sent him back and likely knocking him off the girl, certainly enough that she could wiggle away. After having given the kick, he would verbalize it, "get off of her!"

Faith Lehane has posed:
Bumpy head guy barely seems to feel the kick, but it's enough of a distraction for him to turn on Tommy with a snarl. "who the hell're you? Mind your own business!" and with a roar, he charges for him, attempting to tackle him to the ground. He's fast, superhumanly so, and strong to, far stronger than any normal human, but his martial arts skills are nowhere near Tommy's level, he'll figure that right off the bat.

And even as the big guy attempts to tackle Tommy, three more punks step out of the woodwork so to speak, two of them running towards Faith as she leaps gracefully to her feet, engaging her in combat, while the threeth grabs a giant boulder and attempts to throw it at Tommy.

Green Ranger has posed:
When the bumpy head guy manages to effortlessly ignore the force being applied, and the leverage, it instead forces Tommy to fall back, as for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Though Tommy was surprised, nay shocked, he recovered quickly, rolling back to his feet with a practiced push off. "Darlington Park Ranger, at your service," he jokes, perhaps because he saw Elf recently, despite the season.

With the figure charging at him, Tommy defaults to some aikido techniques, using the bumpy head guy's momentum to assist in a throw of said bumpy head guy.

Not being terribly coordinated, the one that came out to hurl a rock at Tommy, would absolutely hurl it at Tommy. Except, by the time the rock arrived, the original bumpy head guy would be in place. And it wasn't so much a rock, as it was a boulder. Tommy, seeing what was going on, would actually try to shove the guy out of the way, but without getting in front of the boulder himself. He might have softened the impact, a skim as opposed to a direct hit.
