Seriously? What was with these people and their objects? The kid witches all had wands Gretel was picking up totems, should she be thinking about looking into this stuff? Was she supposed to use something to direct things? Was that why she flaked sometimes? Because there was nothing directing or funnelling her magic?
She realised she was getting majorly distracted though, shaking her head slightly, "Okay, so, this is nice and all, but what're we doing?"
As far as she could tell they were becoming human glow sticks, which was fun and all, great if they had a rave, but definitely not something she thought Gretel would even know what it was.
