She hadn't really thought about free will. As long as she wasn't the one being influenced of sorts then...what was the harm? Besides, it wasn't like they would use creatures to do evil things. She wouldn't. A cuddle fest at best.

But professor Thompson did seem to be under the influence. Beverly glanced over at Cutty Mordaunt and hid a smirk. That would be interesting, a puking pastille. Did he bring any to try out?

Anyway, time to practice or her senile brain would forget what she was doing. Keeping an eye on the professors, though. Do it.
