Ashton Griffone || Park View || Monday Noon

_{Mention: Victoria @PrinceAlexus}

---

It had been quite a long night. By that she spent most of it sort of passed out. When she woke up it was morning and her head all bandaged up. A few officers she recognized greeted her, scolded her, got some information before chatting a bit before she bid them farewell. Receiving the request to take it easy and stop either ending up here or the hospital. Though they did recommend she pay a visit to the hospital, the firefighter didn't end up going there. More or less, she felt fine and she didn't want to spend much more time in the hospital. Marine was waiting for her, and vigorously scolded and yelled at Ashton for once again, getting into trouble and sticking her nose into a dangerous situation.

Despite what happened, Ashton didn't regret her actions. She knew she would have done it again if she had another chance. It was a fact that constant proved itself as well, to the point where the hospital, the cops, and her fellow coworkers were getting used to it. This was perhaps... the third time in a month? Maybe.

Still, Ashton was going to continue her plans.

Over the weekend getting supplies, doing extra hangouts with a marlins to make up for the mishap before heading to Parkview Monday morning.

She'd be fine. Ashton did send some texts to Victoria, asking if she was alright and making sure the young woman was doing okay. Now it was noon and Ashton was wearing ripped blue jeans and a gray tank top. Showing some scars and the burns on her arms as she was in Park View on the one property that looked a bit more unruly compared to everywhere else in the area. Sweat dripped down her face as she slammed a hammer against a board of wood as she stood on top of a building. It was a bit smaller compared to most of the places in the area, perhaps big enough to have a kitchen, living room, a bathroom and two bedrooms. The structure was mostly built, still she had to work on the roof and porch.

The lawn was a bit overgrown, flowerbeds having some flowers, though they were being quite under attack by weeds. Whistling as she worked, Ashton focused on the job as she continued to hammer in nails.

Ashton Griffone || Club Aether || Friday Evening

Ashton was a bit dazed, but still she stood her ground enough. The sisters however seemed to react quite aggressively about the tall firefighter getting bottled in the head. Her staggered state didn't allow her to react in time to catch Marinalia from elbowing a girl, but she did try to stumble in front of the pepper spray and held up her arms. It was too late to try and block it from everyone, but she still some brunt of it. Which might of been the best idea considering it burned like ever living flames of a volcano against the opened injury on her head. Body ever so slightly shaking as her gloved hands clenched into tight fists as she tried to deter the several different pains coursing through her body. Teeth clenching behind closed lips, she put a hand on Marinalia's shoulder and another on a furious drunk woman. Gently, but firmly pushing them apart. Forcing when needed to get the large cat fight under control, which was difficult and little to success by the fact that there were several scratches of nails against her arms.

A man and a pair walked over to scold the girls, Ashton turning to them and gave the same reassuring smile and waving her hands. She didn't want them to get involved and possibly hurt. Even though her smiling face was covered in a good portion of fresh blood. Staining her dirty blonde locks and sliding along the scars.

Soon after a woman shouted out and she felt Alex grab her wrist, attempting to lead her to a seat while a woman tried to seem to give the tall woman medical aid. Ashton resisted being pulled aside, despite feeling a bit more light headed and running a bit more on will power and instinct at this point. Instead slowly shaking her head a bit and putting a hand on them, urging them away from the situation. She understood the concern, but she didn't want to risk them getting hurt.

Alex's words simply caused Ashton to give him a warm smile. It was hard to explain really. Yes, she knew that she perhaps shouldn't get involved in matters like this. Marine told her that plenty. But she couldn't stand by and just let things happen. Especially to friends. Especially to people who are misunderstood. People who in reality, just need to know that there are people who are willing to look out for them, no matter what. Maybe she was stupid and ran head first into things.... but she wanted to follow her heart in doing what she felt was right.

These were things that... were difficult to explain so she just smiled at him, placing a hand on her heart before pressing it against his gently. A simple touch, but one she hope got something through. Police arrived and was soon trying round up everyone. Ashton waved her hands as a officer went up to her, before holding up her index finger. Quickly placing two hundred dollars on the bar counter in front of the bartender to pay for some damages and the problems. As the absolute worry and adrenaline of keeping people safe died a bit down, Ashton realized that she could see some blood drip from her eyebrow.

It reminded her......

Ashton could feel her throat tighten at the memory, as she stumbled a bit as she was handcuffed. She was losing focus now that she was sure the police could handle breaking everything up with ease. It burned. Marine's going to be mad... Despite how desperately her body wanted to just shut down and pass out from the sudden trauma it endured, she stumbled into a van and more or less, passed out once she sat down.

It was going to be a long night. As it was. These things she was sadly a bit used to.

Ashton Griffone || Club Aether || Friday Evening

_{Marinalia @PrinceAlexus, Victoria @PrinceAlexus, Aoki @Rodiak, Xia @King Tai}

---

Ashton glanced her amethyst eyes to the two sisters at their comment, the tall blonde giving a smile and tilted her head while shrugging her shoulders in response. It did seem to she always got into situations like this didn't it? Marine might nag her later for getting herself in trouble once again. But it was her duty to help those in need wherever she can. Blinking as Aoki whined and complained about not dancing, gingerly trying to struggle and push against the giant, but Ashton's grip was firm and gentle in order not to drop the poor drunk. The struggling did cause some spikes of pain to run up her arms and her leg whenever she moved it wrong.

Turning her head to look at the two sisters, Ashton blinked as she noticed a large growing group of people seem to heckle the two women. Worry crossed her amethyst eyes, forcing herself to pick up her pace and out of the bar. Blushing a little shyly and embarrassed as Aoki seemed to now just snuggle into her, Ashton gingerly took the offered card, her eyes glancing around. Spotting a bench, the firefighter going over to a nearby bench and gently setting Aoki down. Taking off her jacket and wrapping it around Aoki for some extra warmth from the crisp winter air.

Looking to Xia, Ashton quickly shuffled her hands in her pockets before pulling out a wallet and handing a hundred to Xi if she wanted to use a taxi or something to take the girl home. Gently putting pointing her left index and middle finger towards the amethyst eyes, flicking them toward Xi, then towards Aoki before bowing while clapping her hands together in a pleading manner. Asking Xia to watch the drunken girl.

Ashton then quickly rushed back into the club, eyes scanning and spotting the two sisters with a now bigger group of people. Per usual, Ashton quickly pushed toward the heating fire. Wearing just her gray tank top now, the toned muscled but burned arms were shown. Gently, she put a hand on the two sisters' shoulders. Stepping once more in between, though there were quite a few more people. The firefighter gave her usual friendly smile, holding her hands up and waving them bit. Wishing for the people to calm down and to just walk away now.

One of the girls scoffed and sneered as a big oaf was suddenly in between them. Putting her hands on her hips and giving a scowl. "Oh what? Now you need some big ugly oaf to protect you? Get real. Figures you'd keep a raggedy dog at your heels. Should you throw a biscuit for it?" she sneered as she took a step foreword. Ashton blinked at the words, but kept the soft smile. At the step foreword however, so did Ashton that forced the much shorter female to take a step back.

Ashton didn't want people to fight, why couldn't they just get along? Wouldn't everyone feel a bit better if they all could be friends? Perhaps these people had a little too much to drink and were taking their frustrations on others without meaning to?

"What's wrong? Going to say anything? Or are you actually too big of a chicken to actually do something? No bark or bite?" the girl sneered, seeming somewhat irritated this giant was playing body blocker and didn't seem to be getting agitated, nor saying anything. The girl stumbled a bit, perhaps a bit intoxicated as her fist clenched a bottle in her hand before frustratingly thrusting arm up.

"Would you fuck off bitch?!" she hissed.

Ashton was taken a little surprised and didn't have a chance to react as a bottle was thrown and smashed against her right temple. The bottle shattered against her head, the glass falling to pieces to the floor. The firefighter stumbled a little but regained her balanced and remained firm as she stood. Though her vision was blurred, her amethyst eyes blinking to clear them. Warm liquid seemed to gingerly drip from her head. Rolling her shoulders backward like it was nothing, she assumed it was just alcohol, her feet casually and gingerly scraping at the broken glass to bundle it into a pile. Not wishing for anyone to step on it, that would be unfortunate.

Little did Ashton really realize, it wasn't just alcohol dripping from her face. Trails of blood gingerly slipped down over her scarred face, dripping the good of her right side in blood. The sight of a scarred giant figure with blood all over, with them barely reacting to getting smashed in the face caused some onlookers to nervously stare.

Flicking her amethyst eyes toward the drunken Aoi and the new companion she had managed to acquire, Ashton returned the smirk with a smile at the unfortunate soul who was now the prime target for antics of drunken flirting. The dark skinned woman looked fairly toned, most likely works out and athletic. She was being quite patient considering the stumbling situations that had fallen upon her.

Blinking as the dark skinned woman beckoned her, Ashton smiled then looked to Alex. Pointing to herself then nodding over to the two girls. Basically trying to excuse herself so she could go and lend a helping hand. Still, the tall firefighter took both of the slender boy's hands and shook them cheerfully. Trying to convey that she was happy to meet him. Raising a hand and gingerly ruffling the brown mop of hair, she got off the stool with ease. Shortening her pocket cane and putting it in her pocket before moving towards the two girls.

It was then that it appeared that the two were starting to be bothered by a large man who had taken a interest in the pretty women. Ashton gave a silent sigh as she saw the full anger radiate from the girl named Xia. Mhm Ashton will have to keep of names today, she's meeting all sorts of people! Walking over and placing a comforting and reassuring hand on Xi's shoulder, giving the girl a bright friendly smile. The firefighter soon stood in between the man and the two girls. Standing tall at seven feet, the dirty blonde ran a hand under her hood to ruffle her hair a bit before crossing her over her chest. Although she was wearing the usual friendly smile, Ashton waved her hands a little and shook her head firmly.

She would prefer things not to get heated. After all everyone here was trying to have a good time. Watching him, Ashton saw some hesitation as this towering figure with a heavily scarred face now stood in front of him. Even then however he seemed to take his chances as he puffed up in front of her to try and look a bit more intimidating.

"Hey! Get outta my...." He growled as his hand reached to probably grab the collar of her shirt, but her left hand reached and tightly gripped his hand and twisted it backwards enough for it to be just a bit painful. Watching him wince away and glare at her, Ashton gave a smile as she held up her hand vertically and gave a little bow of apology. Lightly she patted his shoulder in a friendly manner, motioning to the rest of the club. Gingerly scratching a index finger against a scarred cheek as he grumbled something like 'fuck these bitches' then wandered off.

At least that didn't escalate, he might bother others so she'll probably have to come back here and make sure everyone is alright. Turning around, Ashton looked to the two girls and gave a bright friendly smile like nothing happened. Looking to the bartender, Ashton picked up her own glass of water, pointed to it then flicked gun pointed fingers toward the door. Watching the bartender give a nod, she soon returned with a to go cup of water. Offering the cup to Xia to hold, the tall firefighter smiled cheerfully at Aoki before bringing her long arms around the girl.

Wrapping the left arm around the shoulders while the right arm wrapped around the legs near the knees to promptly pick up the drunken girl so she didn't get into too much further trouble. In her absent mind, she forget her leg was still recovering. So she did feel her sore leg take a few painful stab at her, however Ashton chose to ignore it. Shifting her body so she wasn't favoring that leg, Ashton looked between the two girls with another cheerful smile and would start heading out of club.

Blinking as the blue haired girl handed the firefighter a card, Ashton glanced over it with interest before her amethyst eyes looked over to the drunken woman with concern as she fumbled through the crowd. The itch to go and assist was there, but she also didn't want to bother her. Thankfully, the drunk girl returned to the bar looking a bit out of it. Perhaps Ashton will really have to look out for the others here, just to be safe. Maybe offer a few rides home or something. Luckily, a woman the blue haired girl had bumped into and recently entered, had come over to check up on the drunken girl, so that was a relief. Looking to Mari at the mention of using Uber, Ashton gingerly scratched her cheek again as she gave a slight unsure smile.

Marine had said she didn't exactly trust them in a drunken super, or herself for that matter. Plus she was dragged to places like this in order for socialization and things. She knew her friend was just trying to look out for her. Even if Ashton wasn't much of a actual partier or drinker. Perhaps she was a little worried about the tall dirty blonde. Though whatever her plans were, it usually ended the same. Ashton would be the driver, and end up taking care of anyone who needed some help.

Giving a brighter smile, she waved her hand as if to say for Mari to not worry too much on the matter. Giving her a bright curious look, the fire fighter nodding her head toward the fellow blonde as if to ask how her night was going.

Her amethyst gaze caught sight of Victoria, which made the scar face of the fighter brighten, though it did soften as she seemed to be having fun with a handsome young man. Suppose Marine was correct on her assumption. Well, she was happy her newly made friend was having fun at least. And the man seemed to have a nice voice as well when he started to sing up on stage.

Turning her attention to the boy who had bumped into her, Alex as he had introduced, and gave him a bright friendly smile in greeting, putting her badge away and waving both her hands in a hello manner. At the offer of drinks, Ashton seemed to chuckle, even though no sound escaped from her lips before looking to the bartender and held up her empty glass of water. It was quickly refilled. The question Alex then offered caused the giant to give him a surpirsed look before giving another smile. However it was a lot more softer. Perhaps even nostalgic.

Slowly, Ashton had to shake her head side to side before putting her hands together in front of her face and giving a little bow of thanks. Sitting up straight, her right hand raised up to grasp her throat. Opening her mouth and moving her lips. No words came out of them as she did though. Pointing to herself as she did so, her next gesture had her hands crossing over one another in a x. As she tried to silently explain, that she couldn't talk nor sing.

Giving a brighter smile, she did clap a little and pointed at him with both index fingers then giving a double thumbs up. Conveying that he did well.

Ashton looked not too far to see a serious expressioned looking blonde take a seat at the bar and speak with the bartender. Victoria also seemed to come over and hide behind her sister. Ashton tilted her head at the two sisters, but was otherwise oblivious. Giving a bright friendly smile, she outstretched a long well toned and well worked arm, the sleeve of the jacket sliding down to reveal some of her new burns, and waved it over her head as she greeted the raven haired girl.

Ashton perked up a bit and turn her gaze toward a familiar blonde that had decided to join the bar. It was Victoria's sister, Marinalia Romus she believed? The last Ashton saw her, the girl had been practically quite upset at the party. The tall dirty blonde felt a little bad she hadn't done even more for her, maybe even got her a gift? Her equally upset and drunk sister, Victoria, however needed some looking out for. Sadly, there was only one of Ashton to do her best to help others.

Nodding at the question, Ashton gave the fellow blonde a bright friendly smile and waved her right hand cheerfully as a greeting. At the offer of a drink, the scar face firefighter shook her head before lightly patting her hands against her chest then holding out both hands in a ten o' clock and two o' clock positions. Slightly steering them in unison back and forth from left and right. Mimicking steering a wheel as she tried to charade that she was basically the designated driver for the night. Pressing her hands together, the tips of her fingers against her lips, she gave a thankful little bow to Mari in order to thank her for the kind offer.

Mari had spoken to a light blue haired pretty woman beside her, in which Ashton easily looked over Mari's head and gave a friendly wave of greeting and a bright smile towards her. She was about to perhaps question the Romus sister before the firefighter's amethyst eyes blinked in surprise as someone fumbled a bit toward Ashton. Reacting, Ashton raised her hands, gingerly catching the slender male by the shoulders with calloused rough hands. Blinking more at the embarrassed apology as the brown haired male took a seat beside her, Ashton gave a friendly smile, left index finger scratching against her scarred left cheek. Soon waving the hand as she gave a cheerful smile and gently patted the man's shoulder reassuringly.

She was a little surprised he could tell she was female, most people were a little confused thanks to her casual baggy clothing and standing the abnormal height of seven feet. And also having quite a bit of features that wouldn't be considered pretty. Scars, burns... being a beanstalk. Still Ashton gave a curious tilt of her head before reaching in her own pocket and held up her Firefighter badge.



Patting her other hand against her chest as if to say this was her, silently giving a friendly introduction of who she was to the possible new friends.

"It's time to party!" Marine chirped as she walked into the club wearing a pair of blue jeans and a red blouse, decorated in golden bracelets and a green gem necklace. Following her with a black cane as she limped along, was Ashton dressed in a bit torn up and worn blue jeans, a white tank top and a darker gray baggy hoodie jacket, the lace on either side lazily hanging over her chest. Dirty white sneakers gingerly following her companion, Ashton's curious amethyst gaze looked over the large crowd, her dirty blonde hair only slightly covered by the raised hood. The seven foot firefighter blinked as the sound blared against her ears before turning to look at her friend.

"Alright Ash, here's the plan! You be my backup in case something goes wrong with my date tonight alright? Dude is super cool and I doubt I'll need your help but just in case, be my wingwoman. Got a fan of the local hero and I'm taking advantage of it! BUT!" Marine started before turning a icy glare on her partner, causing the giant to go rigid and blink in alarm.

"Remember! Don't overexert yourself! You're still injured! So don't go getting yourself in any dangerous situation again got it?! Which you shouldn't do anyway but you always do! Also, don't accept open drinks from strangers! And don't go being a third wheel with people on dates! You're richy rich new friend is bound to be on one so if you see her don't go messing it up like a idiot! Actually don't do that with anybody! I know you love giving hugs and making friends like a living care bear but try to read the situation! And...---" Marine rattled a few more things off, Ashton slowly starting to bob up and down in the rhythm of the music with a goofy energetic smile on her face.

"And that's that. See you later and have fun! And if you do something stupid I'm kicking your ass!" Marine giggled before skipping off and disappearing into the crowd.

Watching her friend go, Ashton looked over the scene a little bit lost. Unsure what to do now other than to enjoy the music. She was warned not to bother people and she didn't want to. Singing was of course out of the question. It would only end in a bit of embarrassment. Dancing, well she didn't mind it, but she was quite clumsy and doubted she could avoid crashing and crushing someone on the dance floor. So for now she sat at the bar, tapping the counter and scribbled on the boogie board hanging around her neck to ask for some water. Gingerly sipping the cool liquid, slightly moved her head with the music as she mulled over some thoughts that ran in her mind.
