video || something of an announcement?
[When the video initializes, those who've been around a while may well recognize the little green face on the screen. It's difficult to determine her expression, but her overly-cheerful voice when she speaks suggests she might be a bit...apprehensive.]
Good morning, everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the cooler weather! My, but it's been some time, hasn't it? I've heard one of you is looking to reopen the Academy! So industrious!
[It almost seems as though she's stalling.]
I've just returned from a journey and I would love to catch up with you all. I was...searching for something we've lost, but regrettably I did not find...it. I did not.
(OOC: The NPC will be responding as needed, but you're also welcome to thread among yourselves, even after you've gotten some information from her, and you will get information from her, if you ask the right questions :D)

[ Because it was actually good to know about that, even if he wasn’t considered social with his fellow professors at the clock tower. Considering the Academy and their hopes for it... She might be good for answers about that as well. But for now, her vague response gets priority. ]
Both… Can you describe what happened, then? I apologize if it’s a difficult subject, but it would be good to know what it is you dealt with specifically.
Re: Video;
There were creatures in that dimension which, to the best of my understanding, fed upon emotion. They were attracted to me as soon as I arrived, which hindered the search efforts considerably.

Ah, so between the cryst’s disappearance and those creatures, it made it difficult for you to successfully locate and bring it back. If you were the only one to be fed upon, you’d probably have been a beacon for them. [ He hummed, thinking about the creatures. ] Lucky for you that you were able to get away from them?
Is there the possibility of bringing a team more accustomed to combat with you next time?
Video;
I'm not sure they're interested in...partaking of me in my current state. It would be wise to bring reinforcements when we return, yes, but that will take a degree of preparation on my part. It moves, this dimension, and the cryst has a habit of not wanting to be found.

[ Or… Some kind of artificial intelligence system born of magic, perhaps, not unlike some he’s come across. Something to make it try to preserve its own safety or stay out of people’s hands after what happened. ]

I’ve been working on digging around the records room at the Academy, though, if I happen on anything interesting mixed in that might have survived, I’ll share.
