Seraphine ignores Bex. He means well but he has made her feel foolish and she does not take well to that. Plus he's cute so she gives him a pass. At least this time, so she watches the butterfly fly around and Bex's attempt at spell casting.

Dot and Bex both try to clean up the mess the creatures left behind with magic. And it works - kind of... Their magic takes hold of the loose debris, paper, books, pens, chairs, candle holders, and desktops and pulls it towards them. Dot is the first to realise their mistake as a book zips towards her and hits her so hard that she takes a few steps backwards. Then another book strikes her from behind.
Bex also finds himself a magnet for the clutter, and right now he looks like a paper showman.

Dot has 5 books stuck to her and can hardly move and can only watch as a heavy chair as it picks up speed and heading for her. As the chair manages to get airborne a teacher arrives and ends the uncontrolled cleaning magic.
OOC:
Dot will have some nice bruises, but nothing debilitating. Had the chair struck her, I would have to look up how to deal damage, but not this time
Well.... what happened here? You are the new studens, yes? Day one and allready in trouble. I can't wait to hear about this.
The teacher looks expectant at you.
OOC:
This is the "hot" teacher. Someone introduce this teacher, look, gender, subject and how you feel about this teacher. We will introduce another hot staff member at some other time, of the opposite gender

Seraphine takes some gleeful satisfaction at the backfired spells, then berates herself for acting so immaturely. But still, she can't help but find it amusing. At least no one is in danger of being badly injured.

Her attention is immediately drawn away when a handsome teacher fixes the badly delivered spells as he enters the room. His effervescent charisma takes over the room as if it is a tangible thing one can feel and it threatens to topple the prefect over. Her cheeks burn as she notices his perfectly arranged clothing. It's as though it is melded to the man's body, while his flowing gown is topped with a fur ermine collar that is to die for (well hopefully not).

When he speaks, the prefect is loss for words.

Bex turned to face the teacher. This was the teacher he had so looked forward to meeting, the teacher in charge of care and study of magical creatures and here he was blowing his introduction. Weird creatures attacked sir. Quadrapeds. Furry. Bat like ears. claws. very destructive. We scared them off. Sir. and then we tried to clean up...didn't work so well... he bows his head, looking thoroughly abashed.

After being struck by the first heavy tome that knocks her back a few steps she tries to steady herself. Another book flies striking her in the back Dot rubs her backside from the blow. Another three books smack her one by one sending her flat on her back.
She quickly stands back up right as the chair flies at her. Luckily Professor Abbott slows down the chair as it slides to a stop behind her.
Out of breath from the Onslaught of books Dot just plops down in the chair a little battered and bruised.
She sits rubbing her bruised back and thigh..

"Oh, Dot, you poor thing!" exclaims Charlotte, rushing over to help her recover from the beating. As she attends to Dot, she hears the baritone voice of the teacher, and turns to see who it is.

Wait, is that Thaddeus Blackwood? She'd heard of him, but seeing how dashing he is in person takes Charlotte aback. Her jaw drops as she stares in fixation at the handsome teacher. Charlotte turns red, fearful that others can hear her heart which feels like it is about to beat out of her chest. Charlotte picks up the biggest book she can find and holds it up, awkwardly trying to hide behind it while failing in an attempt to look normal.

Professor Thaddeus taught your magical theory and elements class, so I would like another name please.
Oh and it seams like we lost Chloe
The good-looking teacher in magical creatures, guides you out of the library. You see some older students move in to sort out the mess. You are escorted down through hallways and up some stairs. He touches a statue of a frog, while muttering something about being a Tuesday. This causes a hidden door to open witch he leads you through into another hallway. At the end of this darker hallway you find yourself in front of a big oak door that says "Headmaster"
In you go He gives the door a smart knock and then leaves.
OOC:
You are about to enter Headmaster Agness Wagonblottand office to explain what happened in the library. You have just a moment to get your story straight before entering her office. When you do, what about the office catches your attention? Shelves of strange artifacts? A totally empty room? A pet tiger sleeping on the floor? Something else?

Bex doesn't even notice the room, his eyes dart from his feet to the cluttered desk, never quite making eye contact with the headmistress. He was more nervous than ever now
Nov 17, 2023 9:22 pm
Seraphine doesn't go in first. She needs time to compose herself. Bex going in before her gives her time to gauge whether the headmistress is angry, amused, or impassive, which was unlikely. She hoped none of the others mentioned her failed spell. The embarrassment would be hard to bear.

Her first impression as she enters the room is the messy desk. Seraphine, being of a very fastidious nature herself, is both shocked and disappointed, but perhaps there is a method behind it. She wouldn't jump to judgment just yet. Her eyes are drawn to the rows upon rows of bookshelves full of ancient tomes, bound books so fat they looked impossible to pull from the shelf let alone to hold and read. Perhaps a spell was the only way and in this fashion, the books might be protected. She wondered about all that as she waited for the others to file in.

Charlotte enters the room and tries to melt into the shadows and hide behind Seraphone. Charlotte swallows, her throat suddenly as dry as bones.

Dot walks in with the others amazed by all of the pink throughout the room. The amount of cute and cuddy animal pictures elegantly placed against the walls is staggering. Dot walks over to a wall and starts looking at all of the art. A lot of Ooos and aaawes start absent mindedly coming from Dot...

If you blindly are asking your players to describe a room, and one say messe and the other one says heavy on the pink, then we have to go with the flow. This tells a very different story about the headmaster than I initially had in mind. But that is the flavor of this game. Lets see where it takes us

Headmaster Agness Wagonblottand stands up from her desk and walks around you in a slow circle. A bit disconcerting, and very dificult for Charlotte to hide behind her friends.
Well students. This must be a record, the first day and already at my office after a serious incident. Now tell me everything that happened up to, during and after the incident.
She flicks her wand and a piece of paper floats up to her. You glimpse a croquis drawing of a person as she clearly regreds grabbing this piece of paper and finds another blank page. Her wand touch the paper and notes starts to appear on the page

Charlotte looks intently around the room. Ever curious, the plethora of odd, scatters items captivates her.

Dot starts rattling off repeating and explaining more to what Dex says.
"Yeah. We were working on papers in the Library. I had a large stack of books on my table because I was researching a lot of different stuff. Bex was sitting with Charlotte working together and Seraphine was working by herself. These 4 cute little bat like cat like things appeared from under a table. They started knocking down books and pulling scrolls of shelves. They scared me and I knocked over my stack of books. Charlotte tried to cage them but it was too small. I tried to distract them by filling the room with pretty floating butterflies but only a few appeared and they didn't react to them. Seraphine was able to distract the creatures and Bex starting chatting with them. Like the creatures could understand what he was saying. Then one scattered under the table. " She takes a breath and continues. "The creatures returned under the table and vanished. Bex and I tried to clean up the mess but our spells didn't work. We got attacked by all of the books and papers around... " Dot Rattle this all off in a few breathes talking rapidly and endlessly until she finishes.

Yes. Good. Let Bex and Dot speak for us.

The prefect stands tall and still as the headmistress circles the group. Then she realizes she is the prefect and should say ... something.

"Yes, Bex and Dot are entirely correct. We were attacked unexpectedly, headmistress."

Charlotte managed to get a clear view of the discarded drawing before it is tucked away. It does look like the headmaster had modelled for a Croquis drawing

The headmaster sighs in defeat. Danm! I had hoped that you guys had sensed something as you were basically sitting on top of the portal. Someone opened a portal under the table, and those bastards let in a bunch of those feal creatures. You guys handled it as well, if not better, than anyone else just off the boat.
This is not the first time we have such a breach and we still don't know why someone is doing this - and to what end.


She waves her hand in a dismissive gesture and plumps down into her chair. The note-taking stops.
