(seventh act) multiple choice again that's always fun right
[There was something strange about Fisherman's Horizon.
[A week after moving into the inn, Sharpay had awoken to find a rat staring at her from her bedside table. It had run away when she'd screamed at it; Sharpay would take monsters over pests any day. It had taken every ounce of self control she had to calmly tell the concierge that this had to be a gross violation of a million health and safety codes, and he'd apologized profusely and promised that this wouldn't happen again.
[Of course it happened again. A few days later there was a pigeon in her room, poking through one of her suitcases. This time she'd screamed at the concierge.
[In the last week, the animals had only increased in number, turning up even when the inn had moved her to a different room. She couldn't take her business elsewhere because this was the only hotel in this town, and she hadn't been allowed back into her room in the Garden dorms, but she'd certainly made her displeasure known to the hotel staff. She'd even told the animals themselves, who always backed off for a few hours but turned up again later, sometimes even following her to class.
[Boi seeming to befriend some of them wasn't entirely surprising, but what was really weird was when they started trying to help: A rat turned up with her coffee, that first pigeon put together a decent attempt at an outfit, a horde of ants had brought her her whiteboard marker in class... Sharpay had carefully weighed all the diseases they had to be carrying against not having to do as much for herself, and laziness had won out; she now carried disinfectant.
[What was even stranger was when the monsters started getting in on it too. She could have sworn they looked genuinely disappointed when, assuming they were going to attack, she fought them. Wondering if that little girl she'd talked to in the training center once had had a point, she'd tried telling them to back off, and they had skulked sadly back to the training center.
[Maybe these animals and monsters could understand her.]
SCENE 1: JUST PAST THE DOORS TO THE TRAINING CENTER
[Yes, that is a T-Rexaur just inside the training center. Yes, it's hanging its head. Yes, that is Sharpay, standing before it with her hands on her hips.]
Don't give me that! You can't even fit through the door.
[If you listen carefully to the T-Rexaur's growl, you might be able to make out a questioning tone.]
No, I'm not going to help you bust out of here!
SCENE 2: MWF DRAMA CLASS
[You know how the course catalogue says there's a play at the end of the quarter? It's crunch time; the play's coming up soon and Sharpay likes to put more of the grade on the play than on the exam!First tag to this scene gets to pick the show. We're doing Cats!
[And it doesn't even matter that folks in the class have disappeared, because Sharpay is shoving some of the stage hands into missing onstage roles. So who's moving props and scenery now?
[Rats, pigeons, hordes of insects working together, a stray dog, and a single Grat. Yeah, have fun with that, class. Sharpay, for her part, started out pretty weirded out when the critters started following her to class, but has now gotten more or less used to it, though she does use disinfectant every time one of them passes her something.]
SCENE 3: HORIZON BRIDGE, SUNSET
[Sharpay's menagerie of pests and strays stand at a distance as she sits to one side of the bridge with Boi in her lap, watching the sunset with an unusually pensive look on her face. It reminds her of the sunset at home: The recent weirdness around Garden has her suddenly homesick.]

Still, Shar's translation is kind of hilarious. Tom can't help laughing, even for just a little bit.] Wellll... look on the bright side. You've got excellent protection against big, nasty paperwork.

So um... seems like you're not the only one with awesome new powers. [Only Tom would call this "awesome."] I hear it's been happening all around campus.

Did you get anything? [Come on, Tom, distract her from the NON-AWESOMENESS of this.]
