Constance took the tape recorder and then held it in her hand. It was probably a good idea to record any conversations they had with any of the La Lunes, and maybe any others, and she did have to mentally applaud Sam for that. She was still a bit miffed that he might have been implying some things, but it did seem that the air had been cleared a bit, and that he understood the text more. Of course not all the secrets were shared, as there was no way in hell Constance was going to spill her secret, and it seemed that no one else was going to do the same.

"I'm only suspicious because it seemed you knew about Miguel before the rest of us knew a thing. That was all. Thank you for the tape recorder." Constance tucked her recorder into her purse and then picked it up, hoping it wasn't obvious she had the little device on her.

"Mmmm lunch sounds really good." Constance cuddled in close to Tony as they headed to the dining hall. Once there she looked over the food, and then to see that Jeanne perked up when Sam came in after them. Maybe it was a good idea to have him with them when they went to talk to her. She looked over the lunch offerings, deciding on the salad Nicoise and some tea. She really hoped that they made a good cuppa, she could really use that after the day they were having.

Willow let out a soft sigh at the Professor's response. It made sense that being in such a place steeped in magic would trigger her senses so much, so what he said was probably accurate. She just hoped that he could help her learn to rein in her visions so that she could stop having them every few hours. Thought it had seemed that the journal really had been the source of so much pain and energy that it really had overwhelmed her.

"I do know that journal has something about it. It seems innocent at first, but as you flip through it more, the writing turns to drawings and rambling scribbles. Something in there triggered my sight. Badly. I don't know if it was Kramer himself or maybe something that might have driven him off the edge at the end, but that journal for sure has his dying words and breaths in there."

Willow didn't really want to touch the journal again so soon, so she was content to just watch as Cal offered it to Mikkail. She did notice his reluctance, and raised her brow. Maybe it was because it was something to be used for their mystery? Is that why he was reluctant? She would have to ask him later.

She did want to talk to a few others though, like Cassie. She hadn't meant to just brush off her help earlier, but Cal had rather just scooped her off and carried her off. She did also need to talk to Connie and request that favor. She just hoped she would have time to do both that afternoon.

"We claiming Greek gods? I dunno if I want to claim the god of cooking. I'd rather be Aphrodite~ God of Love, because well... I do love my lady~" Marco chuckled a bit at quite a few of them declaring themselves gods at that point. He leaned over to peck Em on the cheek and chuckled a bit as she brought up the wine she had brought with her. He had known about it, but was surprised that she was offering it up to everyone else there.

"Aster means sports you do on the water. Like swimming, diving and the like." Marco was sorry that Nancy had already been put off her food by that point, but it seemed everyone had taken what Aster and the others had said more sexually. However that topic seemed to be brushed away quickly by talk of cleaning and setting up the camp. He already knew what he was doing, and he was happy with his plans.

"I can do some midnight snacks for tonight. Probably something crunchy and crispy. And deep fried if possible. Oooh maybe some fries. Fries are always amazing while drinking." Marco chuckled a bit at that as he put his final bite of quiche into his mouth and sighed a bit. He still needed to come up with a list of food he needed, and any other supplies.

"If anyone has requests for meals, do let me know sooner rather than later. I'm not going to spoil anyone else but us." Marco chuckled softly, relaxing more as he sipped his water. He really was excited for that night, as it seemed they were all excited to celebrate together and get to know one another better. That was a good sign in his mind. A good start to the summer.

Constance felt her lips thinning as Sam started to speak, as it sounded as if he was accusing Tony of knowing some grand conspiracy that was beyond their comprehension. She knew that the text did look incriminating, but really? She found herself irritated on Tony's behalf because she knew he was innocent of murder, as they had been together all night.

She reached over and found herself rubbing Tony's back softly, sportively as he spoke, and nodded when he said that she knew he had nothing to do with the murder. She found herself also growing irritated as Sam called Tony the most suspicious there, and her eyes narrowed a bit at that.

"Honestly, you're suspect to me, Sam, given the fact that you had that text about where Miguel was. But Tony is correct. If we can't trust one another, then it is already too late. I do trust Tony, with my life at this point, as I do know he was with me all last night. I'm a very light sleeper, and would have noticed him leave." Constance was still gently rubbing Tony's back, if he had let her, and kept close to him as she spoke.

She perked up a bit as she heard the bell and sighed a bit. "Ah, it seems that lunch is being served. I do apologize but I would love to wrap this up quickly and get some food. My normal schedule is thrown off and I can feel some of the effects."

Willow had been vaguely aware that the book had been silenced, and that Cassie and Cal had come to check on her. She was vaguely aware that they were asking her questions and that something was going on around her. Without Luna she couldn't really 'see' what was going on, only hear, and her sense were still overwhelmed from earlier. She answered the questioned asked over her the best she could before she felt Cal scoop her off and take her the healing hut.

Willow was thankful for Professor Zephyrine's cleansing, and offering of charms. She gently put them on and felt herself calming down a bit, especially in combination with the calming tincture. She was use to such charms as well, given she had a few on her person already, and also a few in her room. They were suppose to prevent visions in her sleep, but proved to work better when she slept in her own bed.

She listened as Professor Zephyrine told her about the egg, and nodded. She figured she might ask for Connie's help in observing the egg, since she was her roommate. Then came the part about bathing and Willow barely batted an eye as Cal asked if she had to bathe alone. Did people not bathe in groups at the academy? She was use to washing up with her Tia so the idea of having a bath with others didn't really seem that abnormal to her.

"I would be happy for your company, Cal, if such a time comes that I need such a bath. And yes, full moon water bath if the egg is irregular." Willow nodded and smiled. By that point, Luna had finally caught up to them and nuzzled in close to Willow.

She thanked the Professor and happily accepted Cal's arm, as she was still feeling a bit wobbly after the vision.

---

"Oh!" Willow giggled softly as Cal carried her on his back up the stairs and nuzzled in close as he did so. She looked around with Luna's help once they reached the top and gasped a bit as Cal was right. She did love the view. To see all the stars, plants and heavenly bodies during the day was lovely.

As Professor Mikkail arrived the room shifted and Willow was seeing sights she had not seen before. She gasped softly at the hues of purple, red and white, and the constellations she had never seen before. It was so beautiful, and it pushed the questions and concerns from earlier out of her mind. Until Cal spoke, and she took a breath.

"Thank you Professor. I... this school has much magic about it, and much mystery. In fact so much mystery that I am almost... afraid. My sight has been open more times in the past two days than it usually has been. Including due to our mystery." Willow reached up to gently pet Luna and then looked to Cal. "How much experience do you have with divination and the second sight, Professor?"

Marco watched as Demi put a bite of quiche in his mouth after saying that he was allergic to eggs. Either he was really stupid or having a goof. He decided not to address what was going on there, but cuddled in closer to Em as he ate. He was glad that everyone seemed to be enjoying the food he had made, even if it wasn't what he would consider his best.

"Glad everyone's enjoying. I suspect I'll be spending most of my day cleaning the crappy plastic plates and utensils they left and taking inventory of the cooking wear they've left here. I'll add any ingredients I want to the list before nightfall, Dobbs. I've got a few ideas for some meals in mind, including some surf and turf, since I haven't heard of any allergies so far."

He reached over to gently squeeze Em's thigh back as he nuzzled in close. He still would kill for a cup of coffee, but decided not to say that part aloud, given the camps history. He could survive one day without the stuff, right?

Willow flipped the leather book over in her hands as it whispered to her. Luna didn't seem to be excited about the whispering and squeaked more, as if to get her summoner to ignore the whispering. "Just a peek more can't hurt, Luna. It's for research after all~" Willow went to open the book again and she gasped.

This was different than earlier. There were voices shrieking from joy as the cover was turned and the book was laid bare. The pages in the journal were blank and rippled like water, with dark shadows shifting beneath it. Even when Luna looked away, the book was seared into her mind and Willow could see it clear as day. It dripped icy cold liquid down her hands and arms until the eyes opened for only her to see.

Hundred of them were scattered across the library, warping wood and stone and air alike, pressing in from all sides with a singular focus. They seemed hazy, clouded, but still straining to reach her. The voices returned, quiet, fearful, exhausted, and young:

Help. Us.

Willow dropped the journal and put her hands over where her eyes would be and screamed as she dropped to the floor. Too many eyes looking at her, too many voices... too much begging! "STOP! What do you want from me?!" She screamed as she felt tears rolling down her face from under her facial coverings at that point.

Luna fluttered off and started to flitter around the other three of Willow's coven in an upset pattern, trying to get someone's attention. She focused mostly on Cal and Cassie, fluttering in their faces as she tried to get someone to help her mistress, anyone at that point.

Marco looked over to Dobbs and nodded. "Yes, she told me the deal. I'll put a few things on the list and give it to you tonight. Don't worry, I won't skimp at all, and you'll get to enjoy some quality food." He then turned to Nancy and chuckled softly.

"Yeah, I made all this. I do apologize if the veggies seem mush, I was working with frozen veggies." Marco had to blush a bit at Nancy's reaction and then laughed at her further comment. "Eh, I wouldn't be cooking like this for them, and well I doubt they'd think I'm that good at cooking. They didn't think I was innocent." Marco muttered the last part a bit bitterly, but then picked himself back up, that smile back on his face as he looked at Em.

He served himself up some of the quiche, bacon, toast, and some of the eggs as well, and was about to start eating when Nancy asked about Tabasco. "Oh, I think I saw some while cooking. One moment. I really hope there is some. I was gonna make a dirty gumbo tonight." He got up and headed back into the kitchen. It only took a little bit of searching but he found the bottle of red sauce and brought it back to the table and passed it over to Nancy.

"We've got a few bottles, thank goodness for that! Might make up for the lack of proper spices here." He chuckled softly at that as he cuddled in close to Em and ate his breakfast. He looked over at the piece of paper and wrote down one thing for the moment. Coffee. He was really craving some hot coffee and he hadn't found any in the kitchen, which was really criminal in his opinion. He knew he would add more to the list in time, but he would take stock of the kitchen, clean up all those plastic plates and other things first before adding more, as well as figure out if anyone was allergic to anyone. Oh, on that thought...

"Since we're all here, does anyone have any food allergies? Since I have volunteered myself to cook for us all this week. I don't want to trigger anything while we're away from any clinics."

"Let's meet back out here once we're done. I'll see you in a few." Constance gave Tony a quick peck on the cheek before dashing into her Evergreen room. Once inside she grabbed a towel from the bathroom and set her boots down on it, as she really didn't want to muddy up her room with her boots. She sighed softly as she walked over to her suitcases and decided what to wear for the afternoon. She was worried about the fact that they were going to have a talk with one of the family members, of the family that clearly had it out for them.

She decided that the skirt she had been wearing was probably too wet, as well as the sweater, and took both of them off. She set them off to the side to dry, as they were both pretty wet by that point, and she didn't want to put them away with her clean clothing. She fished a rather nice brown suede skirt out of her suitcase, and a red sweater top that showed off her shoulders. She found a nice sensible pair of brown flats and gently put them on her feet and tapped her toes and sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror.

She wasn't sure what Sam wished to discuss, but she doubted that it was going to be anything uplifting. Maybe he had information that he was afraid to share with the others? Why had he chosen her and Tony to share it with?

She pushed those thoughts out of her mind and stepped out of her room, and then nodded to Tony. "Ready?"

Constance found herself a little irritated when they were informed that lunch would be served at three, as she was getting a little hungry. She should have remembered that the schedule was going to be wonky that day, and also that the French liked to have different schedules. Her daily schedule was thrown off, and she was getting irritated by the fact that everything that day was going wrong. Of course, the worst of it was the fact that two of their fellow nominees were no longer with them.

Before she could say anything else, Sam clapped both her and Tony on the shoulder and then asked them to join him in his room. She did admit to herself she wanted to change her own shoes, as to keep from tracking mud everywhere, and well... she could understand wanting to get alone to talk.

"I would also like to change first. I would like to get this coat off and get fresh shoes. It seems we are all headed upstairs then, shall we go together?" Constance offered a small smile to the two men next to her and then offered her arm to Tony and went to head upstairs, her boots in her hand to prevent herself from tracking mud into the manor.
