Angelica was feeling a lot less skittish than she had a week ago upon arriving in Fandom. Everyone had been so nice, and she didn't have to deal with Empath and Roulette trying to embarrass her in class (even if said classes were very weird). She knew she had to be careful about her powers and making sure she didn't hurt anyone, but making

"This a beauty pageant?" Percy asked once he'd wandered in and caught sight of the television. "Have we gotten to the point where everyone wants world peace?"

Obviously, everything Percy knew about pageants came from idealized movies and television shows. He wasn't a great judge of whatever this show was.

"I have been well," he smiled and inclined his head. "I have managed to survive a class on computers today, so that seems quite an accomplishment."

He moved further into the common room. "And it seems that you have survived your first week of classes. Did everything go well?"

"I have a class on trying not to get killed, but it was really weird," Angelica said. "We had to run around the island and make bracelets and row boats and put a bookshelf together. But I didn't get killed at least." She'd just melted a bracelet and come in last place.
