4th Floor Common Room, afternoon into evening

The last time Isabel cooked dinner on this scale it was because she didn't want to think about everything that had been going wrong. This time? She's happy. And while it's not goulash, hopefully the gods of good times would appreciate a huge meal of paella and assorted tapas food shared with friends.

The CD was glowing on the counter as she stirred and chopped and Isabel could be found singing quietly and occasionally dancing along with the music.

Ever since this old world began
A woman found out if she shook it she could shake up a man
And so I'm gonna shake and shimmy the best that I can today
'Cause you can't stop the motion of the ocean or the sun in the sky
You can wonder if you wanna but I never ask why
And if you try to hold me down I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
You can stop the beat

[Open to all. Come eat!]

"Well this is a start then. I'm glad you came out," she smiled. "How are you workshops going?"

"So far so good," Lana said. "I really like Xander's, though last week I the mun was way out of my league. Astronomy is good - except for the week I feel asleep on the beach and woke up damp and sandy there the next morning. Yogalaties is neat and I'm loving Nature Magic. How about you?"

"Xander invited me to crash his one day. Unfortunately I have archery then. With the scary Ninja. It's fun though. So karate and Things to do at the beach. First Aid has been fun as well, oddly enough," Isabel said. "The danger shop seems to have a thing for badgers. So they keep appearing."

"Badgers?" Lana said curiously. "Now that's strange."

"Extremely. And they keep nibbling on our victims," Isabel said. "So at least we're getting skilled at treating bite marks."

"Well, I'll know who to come to if I ever get attacked by a weasel," Lana teased.

"And I have a first aid kit of my own now. So you're all set."

"Excellent," Lana said. "The Fourth Floor is officially safe from weasel bites!"
