> > > Liu Xi must have been in a practical joke mood sending Tandi with Vinnie. Though maybe not - she might have considered Anna, and either was told or thought that Anna, having more human-like emotions, would be more easily scared than Tandi. But then there's the cause of it all...so it may have been a practical joke after all.
> > I suspect it's more about social skills. Tandi would be able to deal with "people" issues much more slickly than Anna. But it might also be as simple a reason as Anna not having yet returned from her sojourn with Yo.
> True, most likely Anna would just follow quietly and try not to get too involved, unless she's asked a question directly or can supply some useful information.

It might have allowed the curse to jump into Liu Xi's blood, and possibly begin to access some of her abilities. Suddenly the scenario would have got a lot more deadly.

I don't recall how long ago I actually started this one, but it certainly predates the Moderator stuff. However, in referencing Nats I've now placed it post-Saving the Future.
As for Liu Xi on campus it's always possible that this is how Vinnie became aware of the situation in the first place.

> At least she could keep the flying objects away, and keep up with CSFB!'s banter.

Vinnie's probably still feeling guilty for the other times Liu Xi got dragged into supernatural danger.
