With Adlard trying to lure the troll away and two people escaping, Zelda skittered forwards towards Honeyduke's, only to watch as Handsome Guy dropped himself and a girl onto the cobblestones. With the pair of them right behind the troll - a bad place to be - and Honeyduke's audibly creaking, it seemed they were out of good options. (They'd long been out of good options.)

Zelda stood on the beam, right behind the troll, cupped her hands, and faced Honeyduke's, ready to call for people to run out the back. But now the kid was running towards them.

"Watch out!" Zelda called. She launched herself off the beam and tackled the child, sending them toppling into the ground in front of the troll.

Dazed, confused and in pain. One minute Zinnia was in the air and moving and then she wasn't and came crashing to the ground all over again. This time, however, she heard a crack and it caused her to scream quite loudly in pain. Hot tears sprang from her eyes as she rolled onto her back to cradle her right arm knowing something was most certainly broken somewhere. The thought she was behind the troll only a few paces away from her hadn't dawned on her as she cried on the cobblestones.

Fab Bee Set!

There was a whole shitshow going on and she couldn't even see any of it beyond the trolly shadow. She estimated where the window was and darted that way. Finally managing to get out of the godforsaken shop but not without a few glass shards biting into her skin, she darted in a random direction only to find herself falling to the ground as a boy and some woman only a couple years older than herself appeared almost out of nowhere thanks to the fog.

  

Behind Percy was yelling and a piercing scream. That wasn't good. Percy was hoping that Fisk was handling it until he turned behind him and realizing the troll's attention had been grabbed by what was behind them. Not good, not good, not good.

He started back toward the troll, aiming the heavy sign (why had Quin bought a sign so very large?) at the troll's leg before it could change direction. He didn't want to throw it figuring it may actually land on one of the few people he was realizing were around the feet of the troll. Bloody hell, hadn't he told Fisk to get them out of here? Voicing his frustration through a single word he yelled with all his might "RUN!" As he slammed the sweet's sign into the knee of the troll.

Pretties from Lady <3

Ben had apparently chosen the most damsel-in-distress lady in the whole scenario to try and valiantly save; she'd been making loud noises the entire time and overall doing nothing at all to help their escape efforts. That was to be expected, though, he supposed, given the circumstances, and he could hardly blame her for screaming when she hit the ground — although the troll turned to look at the two of them, which was Absolutely Not Good. Merlin, what he wouldn't give for a working wand right about now!

Someone was trying to distract the troll, which was great in theory; the troll, however, staggered slightly and ended up shuffling his feet and kicking Ben right in the gut with his huge troll-feet.

Justice had the wind knocked out of him by the girl, and then was further trampled by another body. Once he was able to roll over, he noticed that not one, but two women were lying across him.

"Hello, ladies," he greeted flirtatiously before his eyes moved to the skies. Except there was no skies—there was only a troll standing close by. "Oh shit!" he screeched, trying to shoved both ladies off of him so he could flee.

The troll didn't have to kill the kid because Zelda was going to strangle him. She pushed herself up with her hands from the cobblestones and turned to see the troll kicking Handsome Guy - and Percy was hitting him with the sign - and the building was still creaking. They had to get the troll away from the building, away from the dumb crying girl, and away from these kids - and Adlard couldn't do it alone.

"Get out of here," she snapped, because these two weren't going to be of any use.

Zelda sprinted forward, sliding to a stop next to Adlard in front of the troll. She whistled.

Morgana didn't need to be told twice. She was all about saving her own skin, thanks. "Come on, weirdo. Let the old useful people deal with it," she said, tugging the guys arm as she got up because might as well drag him along with her. Then maybe she could shank him for being flirtatious later and no one would know.

  

Reuben had largely lost track of what was going on around him as all of his breath (and if he wasn't mistaken, a little blood, too) was forced out of his lungs by the impact of the troll's foot. He clutched his stomach and regained his senses just enough to try and roll himself away from the troll, to avoid another kick — intentional or not.

Shit got real, real fast. The troll was towering just over Zinnia and started shuffling its feet around like the buffoon it was and kicked the man who'd tried to save her then dropped her right in the gut. She winced at the sight. And then with the whistle and the hitting of the troll the dumb thing seemed to turn its attention away from where she laid on the ground.

With a groan and a few more whimpers, she tried to push herself up from the ground. Survival mode had finally kicked in and she just needed to get the hell out of there. She couldn't very well leave the man who'd tried to save her initially there to die on the ground though. She grabbed a hold of him as best she could with one hand. "C'mon!" she huffed as tears continued to stream down her face. She'd drag him if she had to.

Justice felt a tug on his clothing as the girl—not The Girl, but the other one who'd managed to collapse on him—began dragging him away from the scene. Justice watched with wide eyes as The Girl and the other old dude managed to find themselves knocked to the ground, and the former with a rather nasty shove that sent her tumbling back a few feet.

"We can't just leave them there! They're all just as useless as us!" he gasped, clearly back in panic-mode. He tugged on her wrist in the direction of the troll. "We have to help them!"

At the impact the sign stung Percy's hands and he almost lost his grip. The troll reacted by kicking out and right into a man nearby. They had to get this troll out of here.

Suddenly Fisk was by his side a piercing whistle crossing her lips. Percy raced to catch up with her, "We have to get him back to the Park!" Or really anywhere that didn't have people. Someone should go ahead, now that the troll's attention was caught. "Can you warn people ahead of us?" Percy had just started saying as they began to jog down the street, the sign still in Percy's stinging arms, the troll's heavy steps behind them, when a large troll hand knocked him and Fisk down.

That hurt. Trolls hurt. He had to get back up. Percy struggled back to his feet, looking at Fisk. He couldn't guarantee he'd get her out of the way of the troll. It took a step toward them and Percy pushed himself toward Fisk, managing to get to his feet and wrap an arm around her to drag her out of the way.

The hand tugging on him brought Ben back to reality very quickly. He may have been in a good deal of pain, but he didn't plan on dying today — nor did he really intend to sit around clutching his gut and waiting to be rescued, when he had been the one to insert himself in this situation to theoretically help get other people out of danger. Struggling to his knees, Ben scrambled back towards the edge of the street, taking refuge in the the shadow of one of the buildings the troll hadn't wrecked yet — and bringing the now-significantly-less-hysterical girl with him.

The troll's arm swept towards them and Zelda was knocked backwards. She spat as she heaved herself back to her feet, and blood came out of her mouth. That wasn't good.

"No," she said, as if struck by an epiphany, "We have to knock the building on him." They couldn't have the troll cavorting down the street - or they shouldn't - and the force of the building would probably be enough to knock him out until his handlers could come get him. Or kill him, Zelda didn't care.

Another troll fist came swinging towards them. Zelda pushed at Adlard, hoping to get the pair of them out of the way, only to find herself swatted aside and rolling like a bowling ball down the street towards the two kids.

Zinnia's grasp on the man seemed to bring him to reality, too, and they soon found solace in the shadows of another building out of the troll's reach. She gasped to catch her breath as she slid back to the ground, using the wall of the building as support until she sat on the ground, one arm cradled against her body.

"I didn't even get my sweets," she mumbled as she stared straight forward with wide eyes, clearly in shock.

"How the hell are you going to do that? Get killed for them? Who are these randoms to me?" Morgana asked because seriously. The next thing she knew the slightly more useful people were hit by the troll and the other girl came rolling back to where she and Probably A Gryffindor Teenager were. Merlin. "Is she alive?" She asked because Probably A Gryffindor would probably care about that.
