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. 

Nia has a little notebook and writes out in very small letters her shopping list. She wants a binder, and pencils, or pens failing that, and three-hole-punched paper and folders and she also wants masking tape for labeling things.

Lily nods seriously. "I can do that."

"...let's focus on school supplies first so we can get more paper to make lists," Tomonori says authoritatively, as though he's the one making decisions around here.

Angie would also quite like paper, more pencils, sketchbooks if those are in evidence, and she expects Alex will want notebooks if there are any to be found. She also has a list of jewelry making supplies, some of which she has, all of which she'd still love to find. 

"I'm Angie, by the way, Montréal enclave, artificing," she tells the newcomers. "This is my brother Alexei, he's in creative writing track, and our clavemates are Zed, languages, and Sara, who is a junior. That's not a bad idea," she adds to Tomonori.

"Lily, Canada, Artificer. Affinity's for bracelets, which are incidentally for sale - I've got shielding, blasting, endurance and storage ones on offer."

"Ooh, that sounds very good."

"Storage? How does that work?" 

"What would you sell the shielding ones for?" Alex interjects, pulling away from his mal watching.
