Tue 16th - Both Of Us Half-Damned

The Estate's meticulously kept gardens, including a hedgemaze that students have occasionally described as "sadistic" and a sizeable rose garden. Benches in shaded spots are plentiful, and the gardens are popular to study in on pleasant days.

"Fight it, Murphy. It's me, Theresa." She was blinking her own eyes, a little dazzled by the light herself as she tried to maintain her distance from Murphy.

Theresa allowed herself to lightly touch the ground. "I'm sorry, but I couldn't let you turn me into werewolf-chow."

And that's when Brigid does a two-handed vault over a fairly large log and skids to a stop near Theresa and Murphy.

It might not be the best plan for dealing with a skittish werewolf.

And the sizable branch she scoops up and grips might not broadcast friendliness either.

With a loud bark, a surprised Murphy pounces at Brigid.

"Dammit," Theresa says, bringing in a wind to try to knock Murphy off course. "Get out of here, Brigid."

"Look, I wouldn't have come here if it wasn't important," Brigid grunts, tumbling out of the way.

"If we don't deal with this, her sister's going to try something crazy."

Murphy hits the ground where Brigid was roughly and Theresa's wind knocks her into a tree. With an angry growl snaps at it, her jaws breaking the tree in half.

"Then stop her sister and let me worry about her," Theresa said, letting the clouds around her arms discharge lightning at Murphy again, trying to keep her attention.

Murphy snaps at Brigid wildly, before being hit by Theresa's bolt of lightning. She lets out a loud yip of pain before glaring at Theresa and beginning to growl.

Murphy growled, a low rumbling sound that echoed through your bones. She carefully stepped towards Theresa. She watched the girl with suspicious eyes.

Theresa let a small bit of lightning arc between the clouds on her arms. "Then maybe we should work on getting Murphy away from here," she said, still backpedaling. "Come on, come and get me."

Theresa reacts quickly, trying to bodily knock Brigid out of the way. It is possible that she didn't think this through.

Brigid is reacting by bringing the branch up to brace against Murphy, but isn't expecting Theresa to body-check her, which does in fact knock her out of the way. Foul!

Brigid wrestles with Murphy for a few tense moments, angling for position, but ultimately loses her grip on one end of the stick as Murphy snaps at her arm, going tumbling from the wolf's back while trailing blood.

Theresa rolled to her hands and knees, "That's enough!" She dug her fingers into the dirt and looked at Murphy with her eyes burning with green fire. The wind picked up under Murphy, trying to lift her into the air.

The winds slowly manage to pick Murphy up. She kicks her legs and struggles uselessly to try to gain some sort of leverage in midair.

"Okay then, here's the plan. She's huge. Even if she decides to go through things, it's gonna slow her down."

"So, you feel up to a run?"

"Gods dammit," Theresa said, the winds beginning to howl as she encased Murphy completely in a cocoon of air, hopefully to deflect any more incoming arrows. "Stop her!"

Brigid takes a moment to figure out roughly where the arrow came from, then scrabbles up a tree to scout in that direction.

Murphy is in the branches of a tree, not far from Brigid, taking aim at Murphy. She releases another arrow, but Theresa's winds knock it wild.

Brigid quickly finds a solid enough branch to climb out on, and makes a leap for Mini-Murphy.

Stephanie pounced at mini-Murphy at the same time as Brigid. It was likely they would collide.

Stephanie snarled in frustration and her eyes widened as she saw blood on both of her other teammates. "Shit!" she growled. "Brigid! Fastball special to get mini Murph?" she asked offering a clawed hand to get up.

Seeing Brigid launched at her, Murphy tries to phase. Unfortunately, she goes the other way and the branch snaps as Murphy starts to fall out of the tree.
