Where: All over Campus

Important Link: Maya's Permissions
A. Waitress
Maya's taken a few extra shifts at Hog's Swill, waiting tables and delivering drinks. Taking a bit extra pleasure sneaking up on tables as she starts putting their drinks down without much comment.
If you terrify the patrons they don't hit on you.
She's also occasionally taking a turn behind the bar, learning to mix drinks. Because knowing about drink mixing might be good if she has to play any dive bars. Thus far she hasn't gotten a chance to play music here.
Yet.
B. Shooting Range
Maya's ability to handle a basic training firearm has improved to the point she's considering live fire weapon training. She hasn't done it yet, but she's considering it.
She's in the shooting range four times a week now, with fairly solid groupings compared to earlier.
C. Designing Guns for Dummies
Maya's been sitting in the Banquet Hall fairly often with one of her notebooks, and a page open.
It is not music or lyrics, which would be the normal thing for her to have open.
It is a list of features, for a weapon. She knows a guy who could make her a gun if she asked him. And the staff let him. Really what was he thinking handing out rocket launchers!? Still, fighting the end of the world would eventually need a gun, if she's comfortable shooting at living things. Which- she thinks she is but she hasn't tested this yet.
Her list, so far:- Lightweight
- Magic bullets, not a magic gun
- Limit muzzle flash
- Some sort of stun/non-lethal bullets too??
- Not a sniper rifle, can't hear at this distance.
- Not an automatic weapon, too jarring.
Offer her some advice, before she takes this idea to Rex and gives him any other ideas.
D. Stealth Suit Up
Maya's wandering around campus in her stealth suit, the stealth on. She's somewhat clumsy so she might make herself apparent if you let her near a table or anything. Or if you can use a sense other than hearing to tell someone is around.
Call out this child as she is bad at spying.
Or maybe Maya is just there, in the background, watching as something happens. She won't make herself apparent if it'd be super awkward to just reveal she's there. She is avoiding the places were spying would be wrong so it's just hallways and classrooms.
So she can always see something she shouldn't see.

Maya will, without fail avoid the most magically loud sections of campus. The underground hydroponic garden, the forge, wherever people are causing massive explosions.

John noticed the lack of sound from her drumming and kind of just set it aside as 'interesting, not relevant to this'. The question was a Lot more interesting and it showed in his curious, intrigued expression.
"I have no fucking clue. I'd say it at least would have to be an 'on contact' potion and nothing that needs to get into the bloodstream. It might be easier than enchanting the bullets if it works, though. If you know somebody that can try alloying potions into metal, I could get you some potions to try it with."
no subject
When did her life get this weird?
"I'm just figuring out what I want, I'll let someone who can go into the workshops work on making it work. Some days my flame sucks." She scribbles these new ideas into the margins. She'll make it neater later. Or she'll just give Rex this page and let him figure it out. "At least, it sucks trying to work out how to make weapons when you definitely can't make weapons."
Freed from the plague at last
He tilts his head in question when she mentions that she can't go into the workshops or make weapons.
"Something about your power keeping you away from that?"
