Oh, I guess some people are confused about what's going on with Layla.
Essentially, early on in the thread I was told my character's weakness was "mobility", so I assumed that meant my character would have to travel more slowly, too. Just warping up to the school like it's a sitcom or something seemed like it would be a violation of that, so I thought I could just have Layla take a bus or something up there and it would only take two or three posts. Then it turned out that things with engines can't make it up the magic mountain so that idea died real quick.
I thought about having her beat up a hawk and make it take her or something but the bird was disallowed earlier and I didn't want to seem like I was trying to go against that ruling by picking it up right off the bat so that wasn't really workable either. So I settled on having dog adventures on Mount Fuji for a while and then I was told that some people were gonna be over near me but then it turned out they were at least halfway up the mountain going by Baklava's first post and my character was still nowhere near there, so I'm working on getting Layla over to that group first and then to the school proper.
