With the coming of day - and the now solidified knowledge that the sun was slightly evil - Perla hid herself in the little house she and Ricky had lived in for a short time. It was rather long ago, but looking around it, it felt weird, without Ricky's weird little "untouchable cloak" and his bossy attitude and yelling and swearing. Turning all the lights off and closing the windows and doors, she hid inside the darkest, coolest place in the house - the closet.
She continued studying the strange rune her mentor had given her, until the rune appeared and she heard the news. Apparently, her mentor was now her ex-mentor. She kept the rune, anyways, determined to practice it the next chance she got. Her teachers were called Veronica and Roland? Peeking her head out of the closet, she slowly and quietly drifted out, particularly suspicious after fainting the last time she'd been in the light. That was the word, wasn't it? Fainting. She didn't like it. It was unnatural. Where was Ricky? She wondered, worried. She'd seen Justin in the strange, disappearing hall with her, but neither Oma nor Ricky had been there. Worry, worry, worry. Perhaps this was why humans hadn't been allowed to see her when she first began. She'd find her teachers once the sun had gone down, she decided, and continued to huddle in the shade of the house. @VolcanicMagma @PicaPirate

After helping President Ayla with the illusion rune, Daniela rushed to her office. She slapped one of her anti-Neil runes and a quick note saying, "at the library" on her door, before returning to her favorite haunt. She settled herself down contentedly with several books open and her notebook in front of her. Ripping a page from her notebook out, she placed it gently next to her. An image of Royla, mid-laugh, floated above the paper. Together, she and the image waited for her student to come looking for her. @Bearbar123 (if or when you're done speaking with Veronica, this is usually where Daniela is, so it doesn't matter if it's five minutes or several days later.)
