She felt like that definitely wasn’t his place. But if everyone was going at least it would be a good place for everyone to aggregate their knowledge. She made sure Glimpse was invited and made sure Glimpse was introduced to everyone. That was enough for Glimpse and she dipped out early. She made sure to share the information she had gathered from Glimpse and make note of the Story Book magic and other stuff she needed to know going into the Otherworld. Sleep was easy. It had been since Magneto had given her the pillow. She slept with no dreams and woke with ease. She had given herself a bit of extra time in the morning to do her packing after she got ready. Andy decided to not do any makeup, which was fairly unusual. She didn’t want to deal with it while in the Otherworld so she might as well not wear any in the first place. Packing took a bit more time than she would have liked. Most of the stuff was easy. Gideon had put together most of the true ‘camping’ stuff. The rest was deciding what Andy was willing to potentially lose vs. was necessary. Some things she took even if she didn’t want to lose them, like the necklace from Percy. It was more important to have it with her than not. She decided on one change of clothes to make room for more things. That was wildly frustrating. Andy remembered a time when everything she owned fit into her backpack. Now she was struggling to make sure she had everything she’d need for this quest. Andy intentionally left her phone behind, plugged in and turned on. She was bad about it at the best of times, though she was trying to get better about it. There was likely no signal in the Otherworld so she wouldn’t need it, so it was one less piece of weight to carry. Andy wrote a note and folded it up under the phone. “If you’ve come looking for me and you’ve found this I don’t know when I’ll be back. Hopefully soon. - Andy” Several people were already at the tree when she arrived with Gideon. Victoria threw a garlic bulb at her, and if Andy hadn’t fixed her curse she’d be annoyed. Andy held her Everfill thermos in one hand so she had to try to catch it one handed. She shrugged and shoved it into her pocket. Chase tossed a water bottle; that too she was able to catch. She already had one, but it couldn’t really hurt to have extra. She opened her collapsible bottle, drank some water and then refilled it. Shoving both back into the backpack wherever she could fit them. [color=b71d5d]“Well some of us have detention Monday with Wanda. So if we aren’t back before that our absence will be likely noticed. Or whatever story magic is keeping them from caring will keep us out of trouble. Besides, the detention was to make us friends. This will probably do something similar.”[/color] Andy sipped her coffee. This was one item she was not leaving behind. If she had to, she'd make a new one. It might be harder without her mom coaching her, but she had done it once. Andy would go through withdrawals if she didn’t have caffeine. She had long since run out of caffeine or sleeping pills. Those self-destructive habits had diminished. [color=b71d5d]“Also, Monday is technically a holiday so there aren't any classes. We’ve got a little bit of wiggle room with that.”[/color] Tragically they didn’t have guaranteed A’s this semester.

He had kept close to Danni and/or Chase. If they were busy Marlena was his next choice. He did like Millie though so he had made sure to spend a bit of time with her. Sleep had come easy to him once he was cuddled up with Chase. Waking up however was not as easy. Chase, for his part, had not only brought him tea, but also packed his back. Ben hadn’t even thought about what to pack. Other than he supposed meat. That he would have just packed some jerky or something similar. His experience with camping was just the trip with Chase. That had been cold. Very cold. He made sure to grab an extra jacket. Ben made sure to thank Chase for his forethought. Ben had taken Chase up on the offer of a shower and other stuff. After getting dressed and ready to go, the backpack of goods was a bit heavy for him, but Chase promised they’d eat some of the food and the weight would be reduced after the first night. Ben joined everyone at the Haunted Tree with Chase. He hadn’t picked up on the conversations the night prior that the mushroom ring was important. He [i]had[/i] picked up on how excited Danni was about being right about how important the tree was. When Victoria threw the garlic at him, Ben fully missed grabbing it. The garlic hit him in the chest and fell to the ground. He picked it up and shoved it in his jacket pocket. [color=cde0e1]“Thanks?”[/color] He didn’t get why they were taking garlic to the fairy world. He did notice that Sabine had a dog and wanted to ask if he could pet him, but kept to himself. Her question made him shrug. He didn’t have anything to add. Was this everyone? Did anyone need to pee or grab something last minute before they left?
