Bee: You guys worried about Char?
Saph: Totally!
Koda: Yeah, they called me in the middle of the night and just yelled, "what do I do, what do I do, what do I do, what do I do?"
Bee: And what'd you say?
Koda: "I dunno, I dunno, I dunno, I dunno."
Saph:
Bee: They're lucky to have you as a friend.

Ekko and Savannah stood outside the Jewell Industries factory, a subsidiary of the Abomination Coven, where a private sale was being held, greeting guests and maybe putting the occasional 'hex me' on the back of somebody's cloak. Y'know, just for funsies.
Inside we go.
"Welcome, valued investors, to our annual Jewell Industries private sale!" Odalia tossed off her cloak, revealing herself. Btw this Odalia has dirty blonde hair because I say she does. Alador, whose Filipino now (or demon realm equivalent) flung off his cloak too, but not after falling to the ground because he's stupid. "If you're interested in reliable home security, we're here to help! And if you've got an enemy or two, well, who are we to judge?"
Corporate laughter.
"This is my husband, Alador Jewell," She gestured to her very depressed husband. "The greatest abomination creator of the area!" Darius is shaking in his heeled boots right now. "My name is Odalia and, as an oracle, I predict you'll love what we have in store for you tonight. We're proud to present the first glimpse of our crowning achievement- the Abomaton soldier!"
The Abomaton came out of the ground, as did Bee. "It will pour your tea!" The Abomaton poured Bee's tea. "Help you keep up with the latest trends." Abomaton gave Bee a haircut. "And, best of all, it will defend you against any unwanted visitors."
Odalia clutched her necklace, transferring her thoughts into Bee's. Mama to Mittens, remember our deal. Make this look good and we'll forgive your recent lackluster performance in school.
Bee sighed. "Yes, mom." The Abomaton punched the ground as she jumped out of the way. "Wow, it's so fast and strong, order now." She said with zero emotion whatsoever. Go girl, give us nothing. Anyway, these capitalists began ordering now.
The Abomaton picked Bee up. "Oh no. It's undefeatable. How will I ever escape?" A picture fell out of her sleeve (yes, her sleeve), the one of her, Char, Saph and Koda at Grom. The Abomaton was just seconds away from stepping on it and Bee was not about to let that fly, so she destroyed the Abomaton, as one typically does.
The capitalists groaned because there goes their weekly entertainment and also there goes them because they're leaving.
Odalia quickly ran onto the stage. "Of course! That was but a beta test! We can't wait to see you all next week when we reveal the finished product in all its glory!" She then turned to her daughter, pissed as fuck. "Bee! You just lost us a lot of money! What's with you lately?" She noticed the photo. "I see. Looks like our precious Mittens has been getting distracted." Well, no daughter of her's was going to have friends.

Hooty banged his head on a cauldron, meant to mimic a school bell. Down to glyph teacher Charlie. "Light in the darkness!" Light glyph. "A glittering bridge of ice!" Ice glyph. "The mightiest tree in the forest!" Plant glyph. "You can make all these and more with glyph magic! Welcome to day three of Char's magic boot camp!" Fire glyphs that damn near cooked King.
"Oooh!" Sasha clapped excitedly, meanwhile Carmen was carving something into her desk. "Okay, we've covered every glyph I've learned up until now. So, today, we'll learn something new." She removed the curtain thing from the board, showing off all the glyphs.
