[The feed starts to show Percy pressed up against a wall. There's bruises and cuts decorating his face and neck, and what's visible of his t-shirt is dirty and blood-stained. Injured and weakened he might be, but he's also a Gryffindor, and 'going down fighting' has always been a fatal flaw for them. He glances from side to side before looking down at his device. Before he can speak, though, someone interrupts him.]
You.
[Percy looks away suddenly, jaw setting, eyes narrowing.]
You.
[There's a rush of movement and the device falls to the ground, revealing the greasy-haired, pockmarked face of Augustus Rookwood, grinning like a death's head as he grabs for Percy.]
Incendio!
[Flame rushes out from his wand, catching Rookwood full in the face. He screams as the flames consume him, and though Percy still looks serious, there might be a faint glint of triumph in his eyes.
But then the ashes settle, and Rookwood stumbles forward ... flanked by another one. Percy goes white, and he stumbles backwards, wand extended.]
Incendio!
[The feed ends.]
[ooc: Percy's ghoul, at least here, is Augustus Rookwood. Help would be appreciated!]

[Action]
[ A trail of fire burns past Percy, and splits once it reaches the ghouls to form a ring around them. While it does that, Merlin reaches out a hand to snatch Percy's arm and yank him further away from the monsters, so that with another whispered word, he increases the width and height of the flames. ]
[Action]
Thank you.
[Action]
You're welcome.
[Action]
So let's just ... get the hell out.]
Are you all right? Have you been bitten?
[Action]
[ Just a little tired and weary. Quite enough energy for that getting the hell out thing, though. And he releases Percy's arm, finally. ]
What about you?
[Action]
- um -
- goodness. It seemed more interested in yelling than biting.
[Action]
Good. Yelling is a bit easier to deal with.
[Action]
Is Charlie all right?
[Action]
[ For now. ]
[Action]
Can I - I mean, is there anything I can do for you? Escort you where you were going?
[Action]
[ Not right now. ]
[Action]
I'm not far from the shop; I can -
[Beat.]
Do you hear that?
[Action]
No... What?
[Action]
A lot of them.
[Action]
That's probably not a good thing, we should just keep going.
[Action]
[He can't help glancing over his shoulder, wand at the ready.]
[Action]
[Action]
Look out!
[And ... oh dear, here come a whole fleet of Rookwoods, all rotting and staggering forward inexorably.]
Incendio!
[Action]
You know, I don't think fire's working.
[ He runs his fingers through his hair, takes a breath, and then reaches forward with both hands, sending the whole bunch flying. Pretty far, too. ]
[action]
That should give us a decent head start.
