Alice was out for a jog. Yes, a jog. She may have been more well known among the students and her colleagues as a Yoga practitioner, but anyone who knew the health fanatic knew that she was into all forms of physical fitness, and they may even have a few bad memories of how enthusiastically she had embraced and enforced disgraced headmaster Julian's exercise routine.

Honestly, though, the only thing she hadn't liked about those exercises were how early in the morning they were. Alice knew full well the importance of a good night's sleep!

If they were to take place during the daytime, then Alice would have been all for reinstating school-mandated exercise for the entire school. And yes, she knew the students would hate her for that if it actually happened. The current Health club was a good start, but Alice wanted fitness ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY.

But enough about what might have been. She shifted her mind back to the task at hand, which was getting the best workout she possibly could on that chilly day. She was wearing a turtleneck jacket (and boots) only because of how cold it was. Her hair was cut a little shorter than usual, revealing the slightly pointed ears of the part-goblin. You could only see them if you looked closely, though.

It was not until she had jogged down to the boathouse that she began to feel unusually breathless. At first she assumed it was because of how good she was exercising...but then she began to feel cold. "Um, what?!" she sputtered, coming to a stop. She should NOT be getting cold in the middle of a strenuous exercise! She noticed Ms. Castillo standing nearby (why hadn't she seen her before? Probably because of the mist - where had that come from??) and looking even more breathless and confused than she was.

"Ms. Castillo!" she called out in a slightly more shaky tone than the usually dominant professor was known for. "Are you all right? Come with me. We need to get out of this cold."

Wait...which way was out? A jolt of unease went through her.
