“Depends on what the catch is but I expect so? If it’s something I just straight up didn’t pick up, then I wouldn’t independently rederive it when I give it out, but if I did pick it up because one of my other powers protects me from it anyway, that could be an issue.”

"Yeah I'm really tempted but discretion's the better part of valor or whatever."

“If it were a one-time opportunity I’d try to talk you into it but it’s highly unlikely anything will happen to you while I’m looking into it.”

"I'm trying not to do anything dumb just because I'm well-fed and whatnot but it does seem like an unusually low risk day to be a Scholomance student."

“And—again I do encourage you not to take this as impetus to be reckless, but—there are significantly fewer mals around than there were yesterday. Between the two of us we did a lot of murder.”

"He's done lots by himself. There's always more."

“The impression I get is that he usually has to hunt them down singly or in small groups. But fair.” The buffet is still well stocked DOWN Kareen is BEHOLDING and NOT Hunt.

"Apparently word from New York is that he's stayed out at night before! But yeah, probably mostly singly and small groups."

“Well, we’ll see.”

Meanwhile Kareen is totally still also handing out food and interacting with people on the outside of the pocket dimension.

"Did you name your agglo?" Aadhya asks, bending down to look at it.

“Eli.” She emphasizes the second syllable so it sounds like eel-EYE.

Aadhya snorts. "Cute."

“What can I say? I have a theme.” Also it’s veeerrrrrry slightly named after her dad’s latest bodyjacking victim but she doesn’t have to share that part.

"Any other stuff in here you wanna show off or should I go have breakfast and advertise that you're not a Vomit Comet?"

“Honestly I haven’t done as much exploring myself as I could have. There’s just been so much to read.”

"I could imagine having, like, a study group or whatever in here."

“That would be very cool.” But for right now she will egress Aadhya to the Cocoa Puffs.

"Thank you kindly." Cocoa Puffs! And a banana! And sausages! Everything's coming up Aadhya, and also coming up all the other people in line too.

This is one of the people in line. She reaches for the French toast.

She can totally have French toast! Also:

“Aadhya confirmed visiting my pocket dimension feels nothing like induction, wanna see?”

"- sure, all right."

There would be a sound effect here but actually it doesn’t sound like anything! You are just in another place now. A much nicer one.

"- huh, it even smells nicer here."

“Huh. So it does. I can smell both places at once, so it didn’t strike me that strongly.”

"You get used to it when you live in the Scholomance for a while but the air is so recycled and almost metallic. - is that an agglo? With googly eyes on it?"
