[[Lucy Ellingson|Lucy]] arrives, rescues her and they head off together, she also informs her she has an assignment due that’s worth 15% of her final grade.

When they arrive at [[the House on Half Street]] they find Mallory, she tells them the Undercity version of the house is occupied by Stuck-Arounds. Verona speculates about how the Undercity residents were created, she draws an outline of Mallory’s body in chalk on the floor.

Lucy gives Verona a copy of her assignment then Verona starts work on creating a [[Summoning|summons]].

[[Tashlit]] arrives, Verona hand is acting up again and she helps heal it.

Verona begins creating her summon. When creating it she uses [[Nyan]] for the crown, the fogged watch for the brow, the charred homunculus for the throat, [[Tech head|Engine Head]] of the heart, the rasp for the solar plexus, [[Hot Lead|hot lead]] for the sacrum and [[Lott]] for the groin. The Other that appears looks like something created by Verona’s sight, she dismisses it so she can use it later.

[[Verona Hayward|Verona]] and [[Jeremy Clifford|Jeremy]] are in bed together, Jeremy is helping her with her assignment. Jeremy says he has to leave and Verona asks him to come round tomorrow so they can have sex for a third time.

Verona puts on her battle gear and head to the [[Kennet Undercity|Undercity]] to deal with the Stuckarounds in their version of the the [[The House on Half Street|House on Half Street]].

Inside the house she finds a couple tied up to a radiator, they tell her they’ve been held hostage. She creates darkness with a spell card, when the Stuckarounds come down she attacks them with a table leg. She gets [[Grabsy]] to steal the keys. She uses a vacuum jar to remove the air. After violently beating everyone up she lets the couple chained to the radiator go and sets wards around the place.

Next morning after having sex with her again [[Jeremy Clifford|Jeremy]] leaves. After he’s gone Miss arrives and tells her that [[Abraham Musser|Musser]] is occupied. She pings [[Lucy Ellingson|Lucy]], text [[Melissa Oakham|Melissa]] so she can handle the fetches then messages [[Avery Kelly|Avery]]. Then she makes her claim to the house as a [[demesne]], in both [[Kennet|Kennet Above]], [[Kennet Below]] and [[Lost Kennet]], invoking  the blood, sweat and tears she has shed to mark her claim, as well as the fact that she spelt with Jeremy three times their.
