Open Post: Welters
It's probably been noted before, but Janet's not actually dumb. The people of this mansion are varied and mercurial. They're not like Fillorians, some of whom are little bitches but who were largely cow-eyed and willing to accept her authority just because she was a pretty girl from another world.
So. She has to win people over. Maybe everyone needs a little fun to take their minds off things. Conveniently, welters is absolutely Janet's idea of fun. There's a bunch of insane rules, violence is encouraged, and you win if you're good at magic and being bossy.
The mansion grounds are also a little tempestuous as to their character, but apparently the master magician toying with all their lives is feeling charitable today. She's found a big, flat stretch of undisturbed grass, and she's sketching out welters squares with a piece of chalk.

Very nearly. He sprints for it, and catches it in both hands. "Shall I throw it back, my lady?" he calls. "Or would you prefer a less meteoric return?"

"You're good," she calls back, and jogs toward him. "I just wanted to make sure I could reach it from there. No point if the grid set-up is impossible."

"Yes, essentially. A good welters game can get pretty crazy." She smiles at the thought. "Anything goes as long as you can capture a square. And then there's protecting the ones you have, or recapturing the ones you lost."

Privately, he is excited to imagine what Lan Wangji could do on a flying sword.
