Although it wasn't snowing or raining or terribly cold outside, it was still uncomfortable enough that the girls thought it best to stay inside this week.

"We've spent a great deal of time preparing ourselves for just about everything this place could throw at us," Morgana said once everyone was settled in with their food. "Monsters, gremlins, animal transformations, we've covered it all. But last week's vacation brought up a new thought: what if disaster strikes while we're not in Fandom? The school provides us with many opportunities to travel, usually to far away places that few of us have been before. What if there was a natural disaster, or what if something that wanted to attack us decided to strike us elsewhere, while we're away from the safety of the island? Are there things we should do to prepare before school trips, or should we take these vacations as a time to relax and not worry, and leave safety measures to others?"

"Welcome back, fellow fraternity members," Arthur began, crossing his arms and surveying his estate. Or the 1st Floor Rec Room. Whatever you chose to call it. "Today, I thought we'd ease back into our normal activities. We will be watching football." Beat. "Or soccer, as is the local word for it. I think we've got replays of Chelsea versus Manchester City...? Right."

He'd left the catering to Hannibal. He had dearly hoped that hadn't been a miscalculation on his end.

"Yeah, I don't have a clue," Hannibal admitted since soccer -- sorry, football -- wasn't his sport of choice. "I mean, I know we've got something but I can't tell which team's which. I'm too busy following the ball."

This is why hockey gave him a headache until there were fights. The fights were fun. Anyway.

"Anyway, yeah, we're going to be watching the game," he continued. "I picked up pizza, sandwiches and onion rings for those that are really hungry. Those that aren't can snack on the smaller treats. Chips, crackers, that kind of thing. And hey, if you wanna get into fights with each other, go for it. Just don't do any permanent damage."

He was a support frat leader, he was. Still, he gestured to the televisions, the comfy chairs and the food before heading to grab a slice himself.

It'd been a quiet week. After the excitement and newness of last week's vacation, Jonas had mostly kept to himself, resting up and recovering his energy. He'd talked to Gabe a few times, getting some enjoyment out of hearing his latest adventures. He'd acquired two scraped knees from trying to ride a bicycle and he'd never sounded happier. Jonas liked hearing that.

Today, though, he was trying to be social. Trying meaning he was out of his now too quiet room and down in the common room, eating a late breakfast of cereal while he watched...a rather strange movie on television.

Jonas couldn't help but wondering if Fandom had divisions of students like the school in this movie seemed to have. And, with those thoughts, Jonas wondered where he fell in those divisions.

This was going to be a bad one; Karla could tell.

Everything had a price. Pain balanced the power she could wield during the rest of the month. No witch could use her Jeweled strength during the first three days of her moontime without agony. For darker-Jeweled witches, that agony extended further, making even basic Craft a chore to be suffered through. Some months were better than others, when basic Craft was painful but doable. Other months, like this one, Karla woke with a taloned fist wrapped around her insides. That meant that any Craft, even something as basic as vanishing a book or floating a glass of water, would be accompanied by intense pain, gasping, and probably tears.

However, there was a way to ease a bit of the pain, and that's what Karla was doing now. Queens were able to siphon their power into the land. They called it the Queen's gift; a bit of blood or power into the land made it richer and more healthy, made the plants stronger and harvests better. And by pouring her Jeweled strength into the land, she would hurt less tomorrow when her moon-time actually started. There wouldn't be the reservoir of power within her to turn into twisting pain. Craft would still be beyond her her capabilities, but she'd be able to walk and move and interact with people, instead of being huddled up in bed, wishing that Ben had programmed Mini-Morton with the rules about fussing.

All of which led to Karla being outside, on her hands and knees, mucking about in the garden. What had started as a plan to siphon off a little power had turned into a decision to start prepping some of the garden for spring--it was still early yet, but Karla could feel the land readying itself and wanted to lend a hand. Her hands were chapped and red (the earth was still half-frozen), her clothing was ruined, and she had streaks of dirt on her face and in her hair.

All of which added up to one happy witchling.
