Charlie took to the sea of commotion like a fish. She was rather used to being able to navigate through a varied room full of conversation. She saw people going off in their own directions, gathering in groups, Olivia going largely ignored, Melissa was still scared and Lee was feeling guilty about the whole affair. It was probably about time to bring everyone together and let them know what was going on.<br/><br/>"MIYU!" she called, a little bit louder than she'd planned to. She wasn't sure if the girl would hear her, given that Shizuru was still keeping her busy. "I'll take you up on the rice ball offer. Anyone else want one? Now would be a good time to get something to eat... I've got something to tell you..."<br/><br/>With that, she sighed and leaned against the far wall. She looked over the group sadly and then clapped her hands loudly. "Olivia, Melissa, Arianna... Miyu.." She paused for a moment to make sure she had most of their attention before launching into a fast-talking explanation of what happened.. "So, you know how I was downtown shopping? I found a really cool book. I thought it would be just perfect to use as a prop for the student-wrote play that were working on for our mid-term. It had really cool writing.... and fancy words - I had no idea what they meant but I could read how they sounded because of some side notes." She swallowed and looked around again. "ANYWAY... I stole Lee earlier to give the makeshift rehearsal a try - we were just having fun - and.... it-was-apparently-a-real-life-spellbook and this dude showed up." She motioned at the man in black - or rather his ass, as it was all she could see as his head was buried in the fridge.
