Still feeling more than a bit vexed (and not at all relieved to find out others were experiencing similar circumstances thanks to the
posters she'd seen about), Elphaba busied herself in the common room kitchen that evening with baking a vegan apple pie.
She found that if she kept busy, she didn't get too upset. Which was important as she didn't want to accidentally break anything with her magic. Which seemed a likely possibility if she let herself go unchecked.
She had the TV in the common room tuned in to some strange television show about people who came into a shop to sell all sorts of odd things, and then would haggle with the shopkeeps. It was at least somewhat realistic, Elphaba thought to herself.
