October 2 - We'll leave out the eye of newt this time

Up until recently maintained as a museum, the childhood home of the Braddock family has been pressed into service as additional housing and classroom space for the Institute. Additionally, the increased demands have led to the main ballroom being converted into a cafeteria for both the Institute and those University students on a meal plan. Student reactions have been mixed, and reports of paranormal activity are as of yet unsubstantiated.

"You just described most of my exes, dear," Victoria teased.

"I think... we might do well with a little camping trip. Thankfully England doesn't have any shortage of sacred sites."

"Sounds good to me. I promised ASHLIE I'd go to London with her on Saturday, but other than that, whenever."

Victoria shrugged. "I'm not feeling rushed, dear. My last trip to Stonehenge wasn't exactly fun, so I'm in no hurry to go back." Not alone, at least.

"Noted," she said. "As I said, she wasn't particularly forthcoming when we talked the first time."

"Not surprised. If we want answers, we're going to have to make our own. It's a solution that's always served me reasonably well."

"One other question springs to mind. Who around here is... in the know on this stuff? Weaver doesn't exactly make her mystical inclinations a secret, but this is the sort of stuff I'm probably better off not discussing with just anyone."

"I've never exactly made a secret of things," Victoria admitted. "You don't really have to tell anyone you don't want, though... Brigid and Kay both saw the weird side of things. They might be the only ones that aren't in the scene that got up close and personal with it, though."

"Brigid's explained her threshold for weird to me. It's pretty damn high."

"Mm, I'm on the fence. Knowing my luck, though, I'll only get to go there if it's a horrid idea," she said with a smirk.

"It's a massive crater full of dinosaurs and it's ruled over by Brigid's father. I don't know that going there is ever a 'good idea'."

Victoria laughed a little. "My first foray into magic ended up with two girls dead and one still in an insane assylum. Your turn."

"Darling, the day my life competes with anyone else's is the day I really, truly worry about those other people."

"Still, I suppose there's no sense in putting things off, hm? Next weekend, maybe?"
