Perhaps this boy who is fiddling with his glasses and jogging towards her is interesting! He certainly seems interested in her.

"Hello," he says in English. "What a cool necklace! Did you make it yourself or was it a gift?"

"Hello to you, too!" She touches the necklace, "It was a gift," she confirms, "My clavemate made it." 

Zed, who is sitting pressed up against her side, looks up at the question. They look kinda bored, but not unwelcoming.

"Wow..."

He adjusts his glasses, trying to get a better look- what does it do? Tomonori can tell there's some connection to her friend's necklace...he looks between the two of them in confusion until he realizes that there's a third-

"There are three! Where is it?"

She giggles quietly, "My brother has it- Alex, come here and show the nice boy," she reaches over and tugs at the back of his shirt. 

"What-?" 

He turns around, and yep, there's the third one. Equally connected to the other two, like a tether pulling them all closer together. 

Nia traipses up. "Hey! Are you guys going to get things down the stairs?"

Zed nods to Nia. "If that's where the spell leads."

"And it will be, I can't imagine we'd find anything of use up here," Angie agrees. "Did you want to come along?" 

"I did!"

"Can I come?"

"The bigger the party, the easier the spell," is their answer.

"Ooh, what spell?"

"So long as we all want the same thing," Angie points out. 

"Something I wrote a few years ago. Gathers everyone's sensory experience and criteria and uses it to find things. The more people, the more data it can use."

"So as long as we're all agreed on which supply room we're going to first, it'll be fine. Or I guess we can make use of the maps."

"Um, which room is that? I can agree as long as we go to all of them."

"Give me a map and I can find out which one would be best."

"Did someone say supply run? I'm definitely interested."

"There's one over there," she points to the wall near one of the doors, "Shall we go check?" 

Oh, new person, "We're just preparing for it now." 

"I need school things mostly, but will go along for other things!"

"Glad I caught it in time then, assuming you'll have me."

"I could use alchemy ingredients and artificing supplies and school things. I'm Tomonori. Thank you for letting me join your expedition."

"Make a list of the things you want to find," they respond. "Don't go overboard. The spell can't do everything."

Their eyes flick to Alex for input.

"There's safety in numbers," Angie shrugs, "So long as you can zap or stab a minor mal if we get attacked by a horde, somehow." Unlikely, given it's the first day. 

Alex motions to Sara, who collects Zed and then leads them over to the map.
