[When Rapunzel appears on the screen there is a smile on her face, but her brow is furrowed just enough to give off an air of concern.]

I hope everyone had a good holiday. I've never really celebrated anything like that before, so it was really fun to experience. I've never made gifts for so many people, either. I hope everyone liked them. If you don't, I'd understand though.

[She pauses, and because Rapunzel doesn't know how to filter anything yet:]

Um, I'm looking for Isaac, Derek or Lydia? I found a gift from Stiles at my door...but he didn't come in to say hello. I haven't seen him in several days now. I understand if he's busy and I just haven't seen him, but I want to make sure he was okay. I know the three of you are from the same place, so I thought maybe he would have talked to you? I've tried calling and stopping by his suite. He hasn't answered either. So please, if you could just let me know that he's okay, that would be enough. Thank you.

[ooc: if your character has had even just one conversation with Rapunzel then they likely received a knitted gift; either mittens, a hat, or scarf.]

[Sabriel seems to have tidied herself up for this message. Her hair is freshly brushed, and she's a deep blue surcoat, dusted with embroidered silver keys over her clothes. Her voice is solemn and authoritative- particularly for someone who isn't out of her teens yet.]

I'm sure we all know about the Emperor's untimely death, and while I'm not asking you to mourn her if you don't want to. [Because Sabriel wasn't mourning herself. Deeply concerned and sad, yes, but she hadn't exactly been overcome by grief.] But I do ask that you consider what the consequences may be, because I doubt they'll be anything good for those of us who've been brought here. The Enemy is still out there, and even if we're returned to our worlds, it might follow us, once it's murdered Asti. This is something that ought to concern all of us, and we should all be working together to deal with this- this creature.

If you have no... power of your own, but still want to help, I may be able to give you one. [Sabriel raises one hand, tracing a glowing symbol into the air that promptly collapses to a glowing point of light.] Charter magic can be a powerful tool to heal, harm, and bind, and having more magic users to assist in the fight against the Enemy can't be a bad thing. [Of course this also means more people putting themselves in danger fighting Malicant, but that's probably ] I should warn you- Charter Magic takes time to master, and can harm it's users if they attempt to draw on power beyond their skill. And I will be teaching you with the expectation that you will use what I teach you against the Enemy, not just as a hobby or an idle curiosity. [And with another gesture, Sabriel puts out the light that she conjured.] And once you've recieved the power, I cannot take it back- so think carefully before you make this choice.

[Locked to Leonardo and Chekov]

Do either of you have any idea what we should name the turtle? I was thinking something like Eshaiel. [It's hideously uncreative, but Sabriel would have asked if they could name it after her father- if she had any idea what her father's name was.] I'd like- I'd like to give the turtle a good name. Something powerful.

[ooc: More info on Charter Magic Sabriel can only give nonpowered characters Charter Magic, and currently has four students, and three prospective students so there are six three slots remaining.]
