On the one hand, it's possible that this horrible slimy feathery centipede thing with too many teeth (Jinye's pretty sure she'll get to it in class next week) chasing her was sent by a Taipei senior with a mind-control spell to knock her off. On the other hand, it's possible she's in the goddamned Scholomance and is not in an enclave any more and her assassinate/random encounter instincts are completely shot to hell, aaaah.

Either way, she's running quite fast! For a bit she was trying to fire her wand over her shoulder as she went (she hit! The mal is now angry!), and for a bit she was trying to cast invisibility charms on herself (which would have worked better if she could think about NOT GETTING CAUGHT instead of about GETTING CAUGHT) and then there was a little bit where she tried to freeze the floor (it went on the walls) and now she is having mana shortages and running very very fast, though not nearly as fast as her hypothetical bodyguard (who is so getting fired, and possibly also cursed) who is quite a bit ahead of her!

Any screaming while she runs is wholly accidental.
