More intrigue at the bowling alley. I think those sketchy vines are spreading - I'm pretty sure I saw some under the door to the basement. And I'm really sick of Bob Dylan.

As your Charms TA: If your freezing charms suck come talk to me and I'll help you suck less. That seems like the best way to deal with them, unless I've missed something else somewhere.

Yeah, I just saw some leaves pulling away. And if you get one don't go down alone.

You have your conspiracy theory corkboard or whatever, right? Ice is the only thing we know we've got going for us, if they start being really problematic?

[Trudy]

Ask away, but no promises.

I'm perfectly capable.

Yes. And several notebooks, because the board overflowed. Yes. Well, and Pocket, perhaps. She seems to be in opposition to the 'weeds' as she calls them.

Lionel wants to try to go to the bowling alley basement. He'd like to have one person from each house along, if we manage. Personally, I'm not convinced he'll ever willingly let us. But perhaps. And if nothing else, we can see his reaction to being asked.

This doesn't seem like a thing to be overly confident about.

Yeah, if she was what froze everything at Wildgulch the other night that's maybe her go-to as well.

[Trudy]

We trying to recreate that night or something? [...] I doubt he'll let us in, but I'll go.

Good thing I'm just confident then.

If she did that, then she's quite powerful.

[Patrice]

I wouldn't be opposed.

Thank you.

Yeah, ok.

All the party stuff she does has to require quite a bit of juice, doesn't it?

[Trudy]

You're insane.

You're welcome.

You know, I never considered that, really. I chalked it up to illusion, but it's not simple illusion, because it leaves after effects. And the parties are so large and detailed. That does require a lot of juice.

[Patrice]

Hardly the worst thing I can think of to be called. What's the worst that could happen?

They're definitely pretty complicated.

[Trudy]

Unleashing something evil. Death.

I'm fine going down there to look around, but I don't think we should mess with anything.

All that power, and she caters to our whims. Why?

[Patrice]

I'm not sure I believe in evil. And I'm hardly afraid of dying. Some of my favorite people are dead.

Well. Viola may have lost her nerve anyway. But I will keep you informed.

Technically could be sketchy ulterior motives, but I'm betting more on her just liking fun, so our whims are her whims.

[Trudy]

You must at least believe in a general sort of good and bad? [...] ~~You know, it sucks for other people when you die~~ If you want to die that's your problem, but I'm not so eager, so don't screw around with stuff when I'm there. And make sure anyone else who is there is also on board with the whole premature death thing.

Doesn't she have her own whims?

[Patrice]

It's an interesting philosophical topic. But often, things that people deem "evil" have good purposes.

Do you want me to just go alone then?

Who knows. It's not like she'd give us a straight answer even if we asked, probably.

[Trudy]

I agree that things can be misinterpreted, but there are things and people that aren't out there for good.

No, I'm just not interested in dying yet, and I think a lot of our classmates won't be either. Looking around is one thing. Messing with the hatch is another.
