After talking all through class, Gert was pretty exhausted, so she returned to the dorms, trekked up to the common room and flopped on the couch, only remembering after several moments had gone by that she actually needed to fumble for the remote in order to get the TV to play anything ( Read more... )

Old Lace, as it turned out, did not like strange teenage boys petting her before she was fully awake. And while she and Gert had a psychic link, accidents happened -- like sleepily biting a hand that smelled, for all intents and purposes, like a strange teenage boy ( Read more... )

But working at Luke's for the past month had exposed her to at least enough rudimentary cooking to manage some really basic stuff, so with a great amount of effort, she managed to whip up some tuna salad and spaghetti ( Read more... )

As usual, Sushi Station had gone way overboard, which meant that tonight the common room had quite the spread. Which Gert didn't mind, because she had been craving a cream cheese and avocado roll something fierce lately, and that apparently meant that Old Lace had been too. And Gert was nice enough to share.

It was not every day that Envy Adams found herself waking up in a bouncy castle. In fact, it had been around two decades since she'd last done it. And yet here she was. And admittedly, she'd felt far more dignified in her life than she did when she was clambering out of the plastic monstrosity, but her grace stats were pretty high by now. She ( Read more... )
