In the meta club building, Greta sits at her desk, idly grading papers. In the two desks in front of her, Jessica and Jennifer sit, talking with each other.
Jessica points to Jennifer's paper. "Okay, in this one, you have to find the slope of the tangent line."
Jennifer Saunders, Lemurian, blinks. "...What does that even MEAN?"
"It means the slope of the line touching the curve."
"...Why?"
"Because that helps you find the slope of the CURVE itself. At least, at that one instant moment."
"Why do you know so much about CALCULUS?"
"...Because knowing calculus helps you know stuff like the arc of an arrow in archery!"
Jennifer just stares. "You...do math. For shooting things with an arrow."
Jessica Kara smiles brightly. "YUP!"
"...You're a virgin, aren't you?"
And the entire room goes completely silent.

Ah. Business as usual. Or bust. Xue blinks a bit then continues on in, carrying her ill-gotten gain with her. Coming up to Greta, she places the laptop next to the supervisor. "I went for an energetic walk. I found this. I don't know who it belongs to. It probably should be examined thoroughly. It would be a real shame if someone got a hold of the information in here. It might prevent things from happening." Xue. Master of innuendo. Has basically no inflection, showing she does know exactly who it belongs to, what could be expected to be found on it, and prooobably what said information would be used for. Because you know - blackmail ain' easy.

Katelyn arrives, bringing with her the list of random numbers!
"We got to play spies! It was really fun!" She giggled happily, utterly oblivious as always.

"Which is why I use a spear." Nikki pointed out, as she walked in, responding to the math thing.
... Never mind that Nikki hasn't exactly done anything like that. Her father would have killed her.
Nikki looked to Xue, blushing a bit "Uhh... That's... not necessary at this point. We sorta talked him down. Turns out the key was getting him to understand we're just like everyone else. Being an army brat actually helped there."

Celia then arrived through an open window, jumping through. Why she didn't use the door was simple: windows were more heroic.
"Dun, dun, dun, dun, duuuuuuuuuuuuun! Super Spy Heroine Celia Stark is back!"

Xue gives a bit of a shrug and looks to the laptop. "Some people are hard learners. This is just a tutor in case he needs help passing the class."

Greta sighs, rubbing her forehead. "Mental note: Never, ever let the lawyer find out what Xue is up to. Why did I get into this. Oh, yes. Because I wanted to help people!"
She moves to take the laptop. "I'll look it over, okay?"

Millie stops at the doorway, looking back behind her for a moment, before turning around and waving to Greta. "Hey! I'm sorry, I... um, hi! We're back! Did you see Piper's statue?"

Greta holds up what appears to be a printout from Piper's statue...and then Millie's vision blurs. She sees Greta, a hundred different times. Someone across the years, from a peasant in the Holy Roman Empire, to someone dressed like a Pirate, to Victorian era outfits, to Elizabethan (An important difference!), to a smart looking business woman. The young face of a dryad, the make-up of an older woman, the age of her soul...All at once.
And then Millie doesn't feel too good.
(Take a fate point!)

Delphi stepped up behind Millie, and saw Greta holding a picture of Piper's Statue of herself. She groaned. "Why did she have to do that? I know art and all that crap, but now, due to pure accident, that statue's going to be associated with Dryads and Oreads, regardless of truth and their lack of association."

Celia sees the picture of the sculpture "Whohoho, man! I can't believe she had the nerve to do that!" Celia was blushing lightly at the sight though.

Nikki is blushing at the picture "It's... uh... short girl's right... I guess." Nikki then looked away.

Greta puts it down. "Well...yes. Piper is, bluntly, an attention whore. I planned to see if she could assist us in getting a more positive, helpful reputation, and use her powers for good...but that's out. She has chosen the path of darkness. So, it's up to us to come up with a new plan. The main thing currently going on? They plan to have a club fair soon. Which means we need to come up with a project, build it, and show it off. I have one plan of my own, but I'd be happy to do something new. My option? A debate between Demons and Gods, with two celebrities. Morrigan and Lilitu. This also has the benefit of both being devout Christians...and the minor issue, that they tend to have issues."
She looks around. "In addition? I'm opening up a log of requests. We've gotten a reputation as problem-solvers, and Psyche, despite my worries about putting you in harm's way, has decided you can handle some minor issues. Nothing should be dangerous, and if you find any danger, please report it to someone qualified to handle it. NOw, I'll make this list available shortly. Are there any questions?"

Xue tilts her head and looks at the picture. She finally lets out a breath, "... Well anyway then." Hah. Path of darkness. In a school where they talk with titans and all sorts of creatures. Maybe she really meant 'path of more destructive to our public image'. That would probably fit more. Xue gave a shrug, "So.. right. What kind of things do these petitioners need help with?" Nothing should be dangerous. Eh. That doesn't sound exactly up her alley. Maybe beating the bushes could get some more interesting work.

Coincidentally, as Greta raises the printout, Millie's eyes begin to space out, and she grimaces. She takes a step back out the corridor, out of sight of most of the other students, her eyes locked on the dryad for another second. "Hnnnnnnnngh," she moans softly, teeth braced, as she falls against the wall outside, putting both hands over her face. She takes a few fast, deep breaths, listening to the fluttering beat of her heart. Then, when she's recomposed, she spins back into the classroom.
"Yeah, it was pretty cool, right? Do you think she had to use a lot or mirrors? It must've taken forever!"
