Desidera had never really wondered what it would be like to drink a cake or a steak. She very much likes sweets and meat, though, so as strange as it sounds, it would probably be seen as even stranger if she didn't give the drinks a try. (The students who came up with these were thrilled when she started repeatedly coming back for more, then some of them eventually started worrying that maybe they couldn't keep up with her.)

Then somebody got the funny idea of mixing one of those steak drinks with one that, when she downed it, made her go mostly monochrome. High-contrast monochrome, with only five discernible colors total: black, two different (and distinct) shades of gray, and her eyes remained unchanged, keeping their usual red-on-white. To those familiar enough with some of the ways she uses her power, she mostly resembled one of her own shadow-construct clones.

The effect didn't last too long, though, possibly because that drink was mixed with something else. A mild disappointment, that; she'd found it kind of funny.


Between some of her trips back for more of those experimental drinks (god, she loved them), Desi occupied herself by exploring the venue's more-mazelike areas, taking the different doors and elevators to see what led where, not worrying too much about if she was getting herself lost; whatever way she went, she'd eventually end up back where she started, anyway.

Eventually.


Desi is otherwise around until it comes time for the dance (at which point she's pretty much attached to Gunvolt for the remainder of the event), and she's not averse to mingling with others, so anyone who wishes to do so can catch her when she's not getting more of those drinks or wandering the maze of rooms and halls.
