Lillian had never been given detention before in all of her years of schooling. Had she been given detention fairly, she wouldn't have been mad at all. But none of them had done anything to deserve this punishment, except maybe for Amalia by laughing. Even then she couldn't fault her for it. Principal Ivors was such a jerk to everyone, who wouldn't laugh at him getting his just desserts. Literally.

Still, he refused to listen to anyone's explanation that it was an accident. And so Lillian was on her way to the auditorium to an unfair detention.

Oh, lovely! I'm the first one here. All alone with Mr. Grinch. Lucky me. Not.

Lillian didn't even bother greeting the man or even flashing him one of her phony smiles. She'd shown up. She didn't have to speak to him or even indicate that she acknowledged his existence.

Lynne sighed. Classes were done for the day and while students were buzzing in ecstasy that it was finally Friday, all Lynne could think about was the detention awaiting her in the auditorium. It wasn't like Lynne had meant to dump her food over Mr. Ivors. It wasn't like they'd teamed up to humiliate him, it'd just been a slip. Pure accidebt. Lynne could understand him being mad, she would be too, but did he really have to smile like that when he'd slapped them with this? And Lynne hadn't even gotten to eat her lunch.

When she got to the auditorium, she saw Mr. Ivors (still smiling, that petty prick) and Lillian. Lynne nervously pulled at a loose strand of hair and approached.

Wonderful. Someone else was coming.

Had she been been the type to jump at all, for joy or otherwise, Lillian would have. Principal Ivors ranked somewhere between slime-covered, demonic barracudas and eldritch horrors on her list of things she never wanted to deal with by herself in this lifetime.

She recognized the girl as the one she'd bumped into in the cafeteria. Her name was... Lynne? At least, she believed her name was Lynne. She'd seen her around but had never actually spoken to her before. Maybe she should now. At the very least, she owed her an apology for colliding with her and making her drop her lunch.

"Hello," she greeted. "I'm very sorry about earlier. I lost my balance."

Lynne blinked, pulled back from her reverie of thought. She looked at Lillian and shrugged, smiling slightly. "It's okay, you don't have to apologize for that. It's not like you're the only one who did, and it was an accident anyway."

Lynne really couldn't get upset over being tripped into when she'd gone and tripped on the principal herself. Too bad the 'accident' excuse didn't work on Mr. Ivors though.

"I'm fine," Lillian replied, sharpness returning to her voice. If one were to look at her face, they would see an eerily blank expression accompanied by cold, hard eyes. The moment passed in a flash. No more than an eyeblink later, she was back to normal.

"I'll have a bruise but I'm not dead yet," she said in an vaguely benevolent tone. Then she turned to look at the fight.

"Oh, they have them, too, I see," she commented lightly, almost as if she were watching a play or a sporting event instead of a battle.

The goblin stumbled backward at the blow it received from the woman with the bow. Aside from momentarily dazing it, it didn't do that much damage to it. It recovered quickly with only minor bruises.

Suddenly, red light flared up around the goblin then vanished. A lingering red shimmer pulsed through him. It bared its fangs and hissed at the impudent red-haired girl responsible.

Now bursting with strength, the goblin sprang quickly at Lynne, pulling back a fist to strike.

If Lynne had had the time, she may have blinked at Lily's words and reaction. However, when the goblin came back at her, her body screamed to act at the same time the woman commanded her, 'Move!'

Lynne took a step to leap to the side but at the last second she backpeddaled, moving with the momentum of the incoming strike. On instinct, she crossed her arms to guard herself but the strike hurt. She gasped ('This is going to bruise, she couldn't help but think), only kept upright by her stumbling, desperate backsteps to keep from falling and away from that thing. The transluscent woman's eyes flashed dangerously and then she was rushing the goblin again, whirling her bow above her head before bringing it down to bash the goblin.

The afanc was not pleased. Far from it, actually. But since these idiotic humans had struck first, it refused to back down now. Between the wind buffeting it and the new figure that had just clouted it rather soundly, it wanted blood.

But it would settle for knocking these puny little things aside first (once it regained its balance), and it bristled, puffing up and then suddenly charging with surprising speed straight for Amalia and Lindsey in a tackle that would knock the hot air right of them.

And then it'd get started on the bloodshed, leaving the other two to its goblin companion.

((OOC: As far as I know, they are, but at most, a Persona at that level should only know one or two of the most basic attacks of their skillsets.))
