sorrowandsorrow: (royalty moment)
Thank Christ that wedding dance is over. Janet had felt it looming, like exam season at Brakebills but way, way worse, and it had made her feel like she was being stalked. It's over, and Susan came to keep her company, and she still has a bottle of wine stashed in her closet about it. Spoils of war.

In a better mood all around, Janet's in a sitting room not too far off from the main drag of the mansion. She's cross-legged on a couch, in stocking feet but with her boots tucked up against the side of said couch, and she's essentially playing with dolls.

Okay, it's a little more grownup than that. She has a couple of those ubiquitous green toy soldiers, the ones every kid ends up with whether they want them or not, and she's practicing a Cavaleri Animation, making them march around and aim their tiny plastic guns at each other.

Fuck it. Janet's stuck in purgatory. She may as well use this time to brush up on the things that actually matter to her. Those things, in no particular order, are: Eliot, welters, magic, ruling Fillory, kicking ass, and judging first lest she be judged.

Right now, she's practicing magic. It makes her feel like a first year again, but who's going to know that? She hasn't seen a single other Brakebills graduate here. This is a spell that saved her sanity, if not her life, and she sure as shit better be positive she can cast it even outside of Fillory, outside of the desert.

Woven Strength at full power, she's in one of the lounges with a stack of weights, experimenting with how far she can take it. She's grinning, because she has a giant barbell with weights stacked on either end, a couple hundred pounds easy, and she's picking it up with one hand like it's nothing.

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.
